Post 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

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?

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

Post 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.

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

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 :D

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

Russian sounds the most fun. I have to agree.

French is probably more useful though.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Post 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.

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.
