Coding languages>Talking languages (for antisocial people like me)
But if i ever get a tan and go social then i'll know how to speak two great languages perfectly. :smug:
Throughout Primary School I was bombarded with Italian and Japanese. Do I remember a thing? No.
In Secondary School I took up French and found it so fascinating, I'd really love to teach myself it all again. But if you have no one to talk to it kind of defeats the purpose.
My Mum's family are German and I would love to be able to learn that too, but the words are so long that even buying a simple language books scares the hell out of me. 'Butterfly' is 'Schmetterling'..it's such an angry language. And I don't understand why these languages have 'feminine' or 'masculine' words..English makes so much more sense in that department (but I agree it'd be SHIT to learn).
I have a couple of Asian friends that are Bilingual and they make me so jealous. Apparently there is a certain age gap you can learn several languages in before it becomes a challenge. I guess that's because instead of thinking 'rouge' your brain goes 'that's RED..in French that's ROUGE'
I don't know about learning 2 languages. I can speak danish (obviously, being danish and all), english and german. It wasn't a problem learning at all. It only became hard when I took french lessons.
i can speak german and english

Truly badass.
IMHO learning English as a second language is easier than learning other language for an English native.
There are some languages easier to learn, however, Esperanto for example.
[QUOTE=OhSnap!;19079668]Actually, English is the hardest to learn language. Say you speak Spanish, (like me), and you wish to learn English, the grammatical rule variations between the two languages make the two languages contradict. Thus making Spanglish pendejo.[/QUOTE]
Try learning Hungarian and say it's not harder than English.

Agreed. You read and listen to alot of English in other countries. Some languages are easier for some europeans (and others) because of the grammer.
I can speak Swedish, English and a bit of German. German is quite similar to Swedish.

English is harder for a non-English or non-Germanic language speaker to learn.

Señor, aquí no se habla español.
[quote=dummkopf;19099921]señor, aquí no se habla español.[/quote]
POR QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
caps
Swedish, English, French and Latin here.
I'm a bilingual speaker.
Really good in English (a lot better than average) and fluent in Arabic.
English, French, Spanish, Latin, and Ancient Greek for me. :smug:
(Well, I understand the grammar of Latin and Ancient Greek; vocabulary is an entirely different matter.)
Latin is dead it doesn't count.
[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;19103782]Latin is dead it doesn't count.[/QUOTE]
Shush; it's used somewhat frequently in Vatican City. (Also, so's [i]Ancient[/i] Greek but you ignored that)
Awesome: I found a keymap for polytonic Greek (and with any luck it will actually render): ὸ ζενος προς τον ποτημον τον του στρατεγου ἱππον ὲδιώξα. I've almost certainly missed out assorted accents, but I got the important ones (i.e. the ones which determine whether or not you aspirate a vowel).
Oh god! Vatican City the city where only Latin is spoken! Well I'm fucked if I ever go to Vatican City.
I can speak Danish and English, am I awesome now? :D
Asi es, tienes que respetarme pendejo , TEMELE A MI HABILIDADES BILINGUELES.
I speak three languages fluently. Finnish, Greek and English. Mostly thanks to my father being Greek, my mother Finnish and that they have spoken to eachother in all three languages ever since I was a baby.
I know Russian, Latvian, English
The more languages you learn the harder it gets to not mix them, I'm going to start learning the sixth (Russian) soon and it's not rare that I mix up a few words of Spanish and German with Swedish when I'm talking fast (not all the time of course, but it happens). Also it's hard to not forget some of the others when learning a new one (I can speak, write and understand German and Spanish fine, but writing is a bit harder).

Fuck no, English is piss easy compared to my mother tongue, Croatian.
Right now I only know English and Croatian, I would like to learn German as it seems to be the second most useful language besides English, I only know a couple of words though.
I am very lucky in terms of languages. My main language is Russian. But because i used to watch a lot of Cartoon Network during my childhood (starting at about 5 or 4 years old), i can understand English [b]perfectly[/b] now and can hold a conversation if need be. And i'm also learning Eesti since i live in Estonia and also plan on learning German/French.
[QUOTE=KaIibos;19089446]My sister-in-law speaks English, French, and Mandarin. It's kind of inspiring. I'd like to learn basically all the romance languages in the next ten or twenty years.[/QUOTE]
If you learn one you can communicate in a lot of country's. I have a teacher who speaks French fluently and she said she can talk to people in Italy with little errors in communication. Just like Spanish speakers could easily speak to Portuguese, Spaniards (there is a different in language even though it is still Spanish), and other Latin based speaking country's with only a few changes to grammar and words.

No tengo respeto a tu, acaba de ser bilingüe significa que la gente mucho más entender que eres un gilipollas. Zángano....
Also, in my opinion I think English would be easy to learn if not for the pronunciations. If not for that it would be the easiest language.
Oh also, does anyone speak Serbian? I know few that do and haven't met anyone in a while that does speak it.
[QUOTE=conman420;19079579]I couldn't speak different languages, I failed at Spanish and French. Couldn't get my head around all the differences.
I still got a B at GCSE in French, I only knew one tense. GCSEs are piss.[/QUOTE]
GCSEs are useless, I did 2 years of Spanish, barely even looked at the grammar, read through the dictionary section at the back of the book the day before and got an A*, on the other hand, my hard working buddy did much more work and revision than me and got an A. I don't get it.
se hablar mucho espanol, es muy facil. estoy en clase de espanol dos. quiero aprender aleman, pero no hay clases de aleman a mi escuela.
also, fuck accent marks. they take too long to put in without a spanish-english keyboard.
