Anyone learning a language?

[AmericanSocialist]

I am currently trying to learn spanish. After all I am part mexican and should at the least learn a lil something of spanish. I am using rosetta stone. Anyone else learning another language?

[An archist]

A friend of mine is taking Spanish classes, so I'm trying to pick up something too.

Awesome!

I'm trying to do Russian. Zdratsvuitiet! Kak dela? Harasho. Mushina v mashina. Chto eto? Eto moi brat! Koshka yest.

Learning Russian cracks me up because now I understand why Russian-o-phones skips some words when speaking English. Man in car. What this? This my brother. Cat eats.

[AmericanSocialist]

Russia? That is great I had actually contemplated learning that when i was younger. Maybe If i can truly be disciplined and learn spanish (my wife speaks it fluently so i can have lots of practice) maybe i could learn another language. I hear russian is very difficult though.

I really want to get my Spanish down though. Just in case one day ill have to leave to a latin country (preferably one that is being lead to socialism).

I never used Rosetta stone before, but hell it was free and I hear it is a great program.

[psgchisolm]

German and hoping to learn Russian and about half the worlds other languages lol.

Ruskiy izik ochen trudnyoe, no prakrasna. Russian...man it's rough, but it's fun...and worth it. I can't wait to get to Russia and Russian-speaking countries once I get my Russian to a higher level (my grammar...kakoi uzhas! :lol:).

AmericanSocialist, I've never used it but Rosetta Stone has a mixed reputation, it's expensive as all hell (good thing you got it for free) and isn't very explanatory. But since you have it definitely use it. My best advice is just to get your basics down and speak with Spanish speakers as much as you can. Also, watch Spanish TV (Mexican soccer is my personal favorite), it should improve your comprehension and accent. Buena suerte, compan~ero/a. :thumbup1:

[Il Medico]

J'etudie la langue française.

[Luisrah]

Portuguese is my main language, I speak English fluently, I can understand and communicate with no problems with a spanish, and I can, with a lot of difficulties and gesturing, communicate with a french.

But I'm not really learning any language right now.

[Lyev]

Ineffectually and lazily trying to learn French. (I cannot even say the previous sentence in French.)

I gave up learning Japanese, it is a fucking hassle to memorize and don't give me audio program, I am deaf.

Eu falo portugues, mas portuges de Brasil.

I've been to Brazil on three occassions so I have a intermediate level of spoken and written portuguese. Although I still have a lot of problems readings newspapers and books about serious matters, or watching a TV news bulletin.

[NoOneIsIllegal]

I've been meaning to learn Spanish. I'm always hearing Spanish; I work in the public, so it would be used on a daily basis considering I live in a town with a significant population (around 15%), and am near Chicago (28% Hispanic)

I really need to pursue it, I would use it a lot and would love to master it. Knowing only English gets boring :lol:

[Tjis]

I'm currently learning Lojban, a constructed language based on predicate logic, designed to be very different from existing spoken languages.
Kinda useless, but very interesting.

[Omi]

I'm from the Netherlands, and we have to learn several foreign languages in high school. I am fluent in English, can understand and communicate a little in German (but not read articles and such that good) and can read and talk a little French. Also I got some basic education in Spanish but it is very rusty. When I went to Barcelona 2 years ago I couldn't even ask for directions or something. Just the phrase ''Tres servesas por favor'' or however you spell it. :D

je suis en train d'apprendre français inutilement et paresseusement. (je ne peux même pas dire la phrase précédent en français)

[Metacomet]

I'm trying to learn Spanish.

[graymouser]

Estoy practicando mi español...tengo un nivel intermedio pero a este nivel no es fácil de aprender más. Las noticias y artículos politicos utilizan muchos cognados y los puedo leer; la literatura es más difícil.

After I feel more comfortable with my Spanish I want to try and get my French up to a higher level...I couldn't write the above en français but I figure those are the two most important. After that it's an open field.

[The Fighting_Crusnik]

Was learning German but switched to Swedish because it's easier :D

But I intend to go back to the German later in life.

Well, if it makes you feel better, neither can I off the top of my head. Though with the help of my French to English dictionary and French Text book, I believe I have it:
Inutilement et paresseusement essayer d'apprendre le français. (Je ne peux même pas dire la phrase précédente en français.)


Though it is probably still wrong. :lol:


Edit:

je suis en train d'apprendre français inutilement et paresseusement. (je ne peux même pas dire la phrase précédent en français)
Drat. Perhaps the difference is because you are Quebecois? Or more likely I was just wrong. :(

För mig, svenska är som tyska, men kanske vackare. :) Men jag tanker tyska är jätte bra också, jag läsa det nu...lycka till med både!

[Ligeia]

Some days ago I took french classes (Je pense que j'ai appris presque suffisante de cette langue.)
And currently I'm learning portuguese, and hopefully polish or russian in the near future.

[Aloysius]

I've got 2 years of sub-par Spanish instruction under my belt, and am currently focusing on Latin, which is remarkably easy, but that may just be my teacher.
I think learning Russian would be really kick-ass, but after Latin, I'll try German.

[Luisrah]

Os que falam português (ou estão a aprender) que adivinhem o que está aqui escrito.

Los que hablan español que adivinem que está escrito aqui (espero que no haya errores, porque hablar es fácil, pero escribir, no tanto hehe)

Je ne vais pas essayer de faire ça en français, parce que je suis sûr que j'irai commettre beaucoup d'erreurs.

Not bad I hope :cool:

[Pavlov's House Party]

It's pretty much the same translation, I just wrote it a different way. The only thing missing in yours is an indicator (je, tu, il etc.) of who is learning French, it's like one of those things that makes direct English-French translations hard. You could get away excluding that if it were written in response to the question "what language are you learning?" like this; "Francais, inutilement et paresseusement."

[Pavlov's House Party]

I could be wrong though, I haven't written anything formal in French in years :D

Ah. Okay. I didn't write "je/je suis" cause I was just trying to translate what he said, which was indeed an answer to the OP's question, so I suppose I'm technically right! :D

Yay!

[Sam_b]

I study Czech as part of my degree at university.

[RedAnarchist]

I've tried studying Swedish, Spanish, Dutch and Esperanto, but only know a few words or sentences in those languages. I know very basic French. I tend to be be able to read other languages better than I can write or speak them.

Personally, I would find it great to be able to speak another language, or at least understand a second language.

[Quail]

I was studying French until recently. I quite enjoyed it and I want to keep it up so I don't forget everything.

Also, for some reason when I first read about the "rosetta stone" download in the other thread I thought the OP had downloaded the writing on the actual rosetta stone or something. After reading this thread it makes a lot more sense.

[Tablo]

Studying Korean. I think I will use Rosetta Stone over the summer when I don't have classes to keep me focused on it.

[Martin Blank]

Been learning Arabic for a while; getting more seriously into it now.

Holy shit I was wanting to learn that! But I went with Esperanto. :/

I'm trying to learn Korean at the moment, my girlfriend's parents don't really speak anything else. Rosetta Stone Korean is TOUGH, it starts out at what seems like a really fast pace.

Well, my Korean class is at a really fast pace as it is, so I'm not too concerned.

[Tomhet]

Yea I speak fluent English, pretty O.K German cos i'm originally from Zurich.
And TBH I speak O.K French, as I am in Canada but I'd like to improve on it..

Swedish is ridiculously easy. I wish I had the motivation to go through all that when I still had the chance, my Swedish atm sucks pretty bad.

Ummm, I don't know what you're trying to say. You're romanization(or whatever the term) confuses me. xP
