Lagom 204 April 22, 2014 Share April 22, 2014 I really thought about learning Korean lately but not completely sure if I want to, since I'm not sure if I want to start on Hangul and the difficult letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostPony750 959 April 22, 2014 Share April 22, 2014 I speak French, but it's not a foreign language to me, since it's actually my first language!Me too. Aside from French and English, I'd like to know how to speak Spanish... since brazilian are invading the online gaming world. It would be the most useful language for me to learn.

Frith is Magick 1,471 April 22, 2014 Share April 22, 2014 (edited) german German German, I took 2 years of German in high school Bitte hilf mir. Ich habe niemals Deutsch gelernt, aber kann ich ein bisschen verstehen. To those of you who have taken German, how easy is it to learn? I've picked up a small vocabulary from music, it is easy because it is close enough to English, but what is grammar and such like? I like to think that I understand a little and can make myself understood, but help is always welcome (ich bin ein Dummkopf). It depends on the teacher, because they may teach you different things. However, I personally caught on pretty easily. I think it just depends on what kind of learner you are I learned Japanese easily enough (even if I forgot a good chunk to lack of use), and some German from music, aber bin ich dumm... To be honest, my German teacher kind of sucked-- we went at such a slow pace and I barely remember anything. It sounds like you have picked up a good deal for being a Dummkopf though. Anyhow, German is sort of a high-middling language for English speakers to learn-- harder than French certainly, but not nearly as hard as Japanese. Probably the most difficult aspect for me is keeping the noun cases straight. Thanks. Three years of German music and I know less than my friend who took one semester of German (plus I learned largely from Rammstein, so my vocabulary isn't exactly... conversational). I know basic verb conjugation and word order, but noun cases and when articles need to be used are still a challenge (the finer points of the language).

Gernia 691 April 22, 2014 Share April 22, 2014 I'd like to learn German and Japanese, because I think they sound interesting. I also took three years of Spanish in high school, so I'd like to learn more about that. 1 Signature by Kyoshi Hymenoptera is the most superior order of insects. | I'm the best Street Fighter player ever... in my hometown.

Wayzer 1,418 April 23, 2014 Share April 23, 2014 (edited) Well at high school I learn English of course but we also had to choose to learn either French or German, you just have to take one of them. I chose the first one because I'm really really bad at German ^^ Not that I'm not bad at French that is XD Edited April 23, 2014 by Wayzer Aaamazing signature made by the awesome Nectar!

Pastel 7,630 April 23, 2014 Share April 23, 2014 (edited) I speak English (more or less) and French, and I think it's enough. I can speak a bit of French Salut, mon nom est ghostfacekiller39! Rarity est mon Waifu! Of course, I have a lot of trouble *saying* it. It's a fascinating language that I've been meaning to learn for quite some time now Just lemme say, learning a second language is hard Especially French, when I learned English I found it was way easier than French. By the way, you should say "ma Waifu" not "mon Waifu", Rarity is female. Edited April 23, 2014 by Blobulle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackleberry 1,921 April 23, 2014 Share April 23, 2014 I know no other language aside from English, however I really want to learn Japanese. Trying to do so currently, just started not too long ago in fact, though I imagine it would be quite difficult, especially since I'm learning completely on my own, with the help of some online guides and such of course. 1 ~ ♫ 3rd Eye | To suffer hate in search of love, or lose them both forever? 🎔 ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Twinkle 204 April 23, 2014 Share April 23, 2014 Well, English is a foreign language for me. xD Although I'm so good at it I should improve some other language instead, like Swedish (which is also the second official language in Finland but I'm not that good in it).

lomk 20,663 April 23, 2014 Share April 23, 2014 YES! German, Spanish, Mandarin, Japanese, Russian, and Swedish. I'd love to know, like 10 languages when I die, but I doubt I'll ever know that many. So if I had to pick 3, German, Japanese, and Russian are the big ones I'd like to learn. 1 I refuse to let go until you're impressed. I refuse to let go until I'm depressed.

The gender of a word doesn't necessarily relate to the gender it describes. And actually, I thought the rule of thumb in French is that foreign loanwords get the male gender, so "mon" would be appropriate.

I can't explain why, but saying "mon Waifu" sounds like the character is male. I can be wrong, I didn't know the word Waifu before I joined the MLP forums. So I've never seen this sentence in French before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yozer247 1,006 May 20, 2014 Share May 20, 2014 I've moved around so I faintly know a few phrases in Gaelic and Afrikaans, more so Afrikaans because it was my first language. My main language is English and ive done French in school for GCSE, so I know a bit of vocab on that as well. I find when moving to new places is that the most interesting part of the language, isn't the language itself, but the accent. Accents are the best.
