Post Reply New Topic

I just love to learn languages, its handy and easyer then other things, i'm doing selfstudy now at home for quite a while with japanese and i've recently started learning french too (i'm considering chinese-mandarin too) Anyone here is a language freak too?

yes, big time

I'd quit trying to learn French though, it was too annoying... unless they find normal names for numbers and start saying ninety-one instead of four-twenties-and-eleven I will keep up my boycott :p

Me too. But for various reasons I gave up learning Spanish (basic albeit) and French. I want to start again). Learning Arabic or Japanese might be nice too.

it interests me but i do not possess the talent for it that i wish i did

I do, but don't always have the time.

I learned Sanskrit many years ago, then Russian to a basic level; now I'm learning French - got to - I live in France now.

There is a certain satisfaction reading languages that are not written with the A-Z latin alphabet.

I don't come across Sanskrit very often nowadays unless it is in action films set India and involving ancient treasure and Indiana Jones Interesting that they do make the effort to put correct Sanskrit words on the film sets and not just an assortment of Devanagari letters - very few people would know the difference.

Similarly with films incorporating Russian and Cyrillic script, but I guess Russian is much more recognisable than Sanskrit anyway so has to be correct.

Yes, I enjoy doing so.

I used to be VERY interested in languages but not so much now, although they were my best subject at school and I was really good at them. I did French and German at school. I then taught myself Spanish, and at university did Portuguese as an outside subject one year.

The languages that intrigue me most, though, are what's called the international auxiliary languages. These are languages such as Esperanto which is the best known example.

i'm learning japanese now....i've know a lot of WORDS since I was 12...but now I'm finally learning how to read and write harakana....

harakana? don't you mean hiragana, katakana and kanji? or am i missing something?
edit: ok, but how do i edit this poll?

I like Icelandic and Armenian, simply because I find their alphabets interesting.

I have learnt some French and German at school, I like French but not German cos I'm rubbish at German. Next year I am starting learning Spanish for GCSE.

Four years of high school Spanish, enough to pass me out of two college-level classes (after some review).
