What languages do you speak?

[Hargrun]

What I learned from several languages I learned by playing.

(Which means I can sound like a badly dubbed character...)

EDIT: Ah, yes... I know Portuguese, English and few words in Japanese and German.

Ni hao, I can speak english, portuguese and spanish. C'est tout, auf wiedersehen.

 

[WiiCube_2013]

Portuguese, Spanish and English. I lost touch of French many years ago but would like to retrieve it.

Been looking and a course to learn French is like £200 ($304) and I'd just want it as a hobby, so think I'll pass.

Have you tried Duolingo? https://www.duolingo.com/ (I don't know how to connect the link with the name, so that the name becomes the link) I use it to learn german and french; I don't think it actually replaces any real learning, but it can be cool as a hobby, it's intuitive and it can ease your entrance into real classes, if you wish to.

Don't forget"von Karma"


Hm.. which one for example? Would be interesting to hear how the language "feels" for someone learning it later. Difficult?

Long composed words, specially if they use "ch" and "g".
Eg: Flugunfalluntersuchungsstelle
Words with many "K", eg: Krankenwagen, Krankenheit.
Anything with ü, ö, let's go to the simplest ones: fünf, böse
Every composed word where one part ends in er, and the next start with a strong consonant, eg.: Lohnsteuerkarte
Actually, everything that contains "r": Brot, Brüder, Bremen, ...
And also, why "speed" is so long, this composed word is hard to pronounce and funny to listen to: Strömungsgeschwindigkeit

Speed: "Vitesse" in french.

Also:

School also doesn't help with other languages either.

Duolingo is free, and has a French course.
Memrise has a bunch, too.

I agree there. I failed my english classes. Though I don't feel I'm that bad to even fail one of the most easier languages in the world.

The thing about teaching english, or any language, is that they love to over-complicate the language. Personally, during English class, I try not to listen to them. IMO, it is all about weather it sounds right, and that usually gives me the right answer.
Things like "i before e, except after c, and execpt after [proceeds to list a shit ton of exceptions]"
The way it is taught is stupid imo

And that's even worse with French This language is full of exceptions, homophones, and synonyms. There are 3-4 different words for a single equivalent word in english
