 Re: Languages
Well, I speak brasilian portuguese, my native language.
I learned English by myself, but now I'm studying in a course, to improve my diction, 'cause I'm a little slow to speak.
In the same course, I learned japanese for four months. I learned a few things, like: Konnichiwa, Hajimemashite, watashi wa McTwisp desu, blah, blah, blah.
I stopped learn japanese, 'cause I was going to travel to Canada, then I needed to improve my english.
Oh, and I tried to learn Sindarin. =33 hehehe
but, It was sooo long time ago, then I forgot. Nuts xS

 Re: Languages
So... I kind of have to learn another language for a later time. I can choose between these three: French, German, and Russian. Which do you recommend I learn out of these three?

 Re: Languages
Whichever you find most intriguing. Actually being interested in the language you're learning makes it way easier to pick up.

 Re: Languages
I am not really interested in any of those three languages. I can't quite see myself living in those countries, so I am not sure how much I would use them anyway. So I would prefer if it were easy to learn and apply.

 Re: Languages
I would say go for French; it's the least useless and easiest of the bunch.

 Re: Languages
I know English as my mother tongue, French as a second language and I'm currently learning German as my third. And for all those who are assuming the French is the impractical high-school diploma version - coup moi Mais vraiment, j'adore les langues et j'adore parle avec gens autres en Francais

Russian Comrade! Cool effect! English is my really bad first language and Korean is my mother's tongue.

 Re: Languages
Russian sounds the most fun. I have to agree.
French is probably more useful though.

German is actually the best, but we're responding to a post from seven months ago...

 Re: Languages
I want to learn Spanish. As a spoken language, Russian is easy. You just have to learn the Cyrillic alphabet. It it alsogood if you want to learn other Slavic languages. It is also a very important inter-ethnic language in East Europe and Central Asia.

 Re: Languages
No. My friend Jonathan speaks it but I don't. Those are just some factoids that I learned from him.

 Re: Languages
I have few Russian and Ukrainian friends, it is just amusing to listen to them talking in their own language. all the Accents that I only seen on movies in real life!! I don't bother to ask them to teach me how to speak their Language, because I know it is really really hard question to answer.

 Re: Languages
I should make an effort to learn Russian or Serbian. I am fascinated by both cultures.

 Re: Languages
English is my native language, I know a little Tagalog and I'm currently taking Spanish in school. I find Spanish easier to speak than Tagalog, but I find Tagalog easier to spell/read.

 Re: Languages
I haven't met a single person that uses it where I live now, but I lived in San Diego there are a enough people in San Diego that used it that it is offered as a 2nd language at schools there.

 Re: Languages
I have taken two years of German, a bit of Spanish, am currently trying to learn some Japanese, and have an Italian dictionary that I need to crack someday. I feel bad though since I can hardly remember what I have learned.

 Re: Languages
I have taken 3 semesters of German, had a bad teacher, didn't learn much. Don't think I'll ever take any more of it since the grammar is way too confusing to remember. On the bright side I can confuse/insult my friends with it and probably can speak fluently enough to not die in Deutschland.
I'm also apparently good at faking speaking languages because I can convince people I am speaking a foreign language almost all of the time.
I think I might take Spanish in college though because I'm debating Miami PD, LAPD, or Texas Border Patrol. Also I have wanted to go to Juarez to say I have survived it and see what it's like.

 Re: Languages
English is my native language. I took a couple of years of Spanish, and I would've taken another had it not been for my mom stepping in. I'm currently trying to learn sign language from my grandmother, who took a class on it a few years back.
