Quoting Leelu: I grew up with english and french as native languages. I learnt after almost failing english 2 semesters in a row yet having 100% in french consistantly that I have a knack for learning languages. I have been learning Turkish & Croatian for a year now, I gave up Italian because it bored me .. go figure .. I plan on adding more languages middle of this year. Norwegian and arabic maybe, not sure yet. I have found that with Croatian language you can get a mixture of Serbian & Macedonian also. With Turkish I love how it sounds, and from what I am learning of the cultures associated with these languages I like what I have learnt so far. Gotta love languages. |
I grew up with greek and russian.Then learned very fast english coz it's easy also french(not so easy but lovely language) then took up spanish and thaks to french-spanish and greek I understand italian and portuguese.Italian is not boring in my opinion very melodic language!!!Now I am trying to learn turkish and a little farsi (my best friend is Persian) and I will take up japanese next year coz it ROCKSSSS and it will help me learn Korean which would normally be my mother tongue (but mum didn't bother to learn    )
Languages are very important but I also think that culture can be approached by other means too.

I think Marion is correct,you guys speak English here do so really well and you should be pleased with yourselves.I would be if i could speak Turkish as well as that! I think learning languages does give you a greater understanding of cultures and traditions plus it also gives you a great excuse to go travelling which isnt something i will be complaining about!! I would love to learn Arabic as somebody has already said but maybe it would be too hard

I am trying to learn Arabic too. But it has got its own alphabet which is hindering me. Actually i memorized Arabic letters in a week time and now i know Arabic letters but i still cant read Arabic texts properly. Yes its a hard language to learn but its not impossible. Maybe pronunciation will be problem for you.

I think pronunciation may be a problem but i think i could probably get it with practice.But like you say there is a new alphabet to learn which is different for me as i havent tryed to learn a language as yet which had a totally different one.Anyway i will try!

I would also love to learn arabic! This language is so challenging and beautiful but yes, I have heard it's very very hard, however I know some spanish who speak perfect arabic which means that if you focus on that, you can do it!

Pronunciation and intonations are always a challenge for any language, but once you get the swing of learning a language, it is not as difficult, only a challenge. Learning some scripts can be more complex than others. Arabic is not as challenging as many other scripts. For a Castellano speaker, I think you'll only find one or two letters tricky to pronounce in Arabic.
