so what language(s) are you learning?

Jay Pentatonic

Well, it's Irish & German for me.
I don't really know why I'm learning them, just ended up doing it:D

I think I'll try Spanish someday

...someday :rolleyes:

unreggd

Did HL French in school so gna work on it again in my own time cos I wanna head to France for the summer next year

Diabhal_Glas

Mandarin, only concentrating on spoken at the moment and pinyin (the romanization system for simplified Mandarin)

Mainly learning from mp3's from the US Foreign Service Institute.

dory

Russian mostly but I'm moving to Kosovo soon so really should get a move on with the Albanian.

Gaunty

I'm learning Romanian right now. I learned some basics and got my girlfriend last year because i could have a basic conversation with her and it caught her attention. But now she has me learning it intensively for when i go meet her family later this year! Hard language.

djcervi

I'm learning French and Spanish, through my degree. Occasionally I'm improving my Irish, and I plan to study Italian soon enough.

thusspakeblixa

Trying to learn Arabic.
Still on the basics, hopefully I'll do the alphabet after I've mastered basic speech.
Also trying hard to pull my German and Irish up to where they were two years ago.

Einhard

Latin and French. If I ever decide to become a priest in France I'm pretty much sorted.












Well, apart from the minor issue of not believing in God...

FruitLover

Picking up Korean again, but this time studying it through Japanese.

Cravez

Japanese for me and some German.

Half thinking of furthering my education and doing an applied languages undergraduate course in both Japanese & German.

rio1

German and Spanish done, now I'm learning Portuguese.

Ha me too man, tought I was the only one in Ireland... Just starting off, but BYKI 4 really helps... You should download it... It helps especially with the written part, for remembering where to underline the T's and overline the A's... Where's your girlfriend from...

p1akuw47h5r3it

Russian

Learning Portuguese and Dutch (very on and off)

Have a high level of French and Spanish but they've slipped a lot since I stopped using them on a daily basis.

EoghanConway

Czech! Though I appear to be the only one in the country

flickarius

Hungarian, as it's my wifes native tongue..and it's a tricky one...the language not her tongue!!

Under A Funeral Moon

German for me. I'm dabbling in a bit of Norwegian too.

Echizado

It's very difficult to learn another language with no one to practice... I'm trying to learn Serbian and Hungarian.

I speak Spanish and I'm a fan of Barcelona FC I started learning Catalan which isn't too difficult for me, both languages are very similiar

jackinyogrill

I'm learning basic Polish, I'm heading to Lublin in two weeks for a conference. I've got to recommend the Michel Thomas method for language learning, though. I downloaded a sample mp3 from their site, and already I have enough standard phrases to get myself into, and out of, trouble with the police :rolleyes:

MUSEIST

Russian, for no real reason except its probably the only language I am motivated to learn.

It actually not that bad once you get over the alphabeth.

Use Skype to chat to people! It's very weird at the start, but soon it's no different to chatting to a stranger in a bar.
I'm on another language forum (called how-to-learn-any-language) and there is a thread where you can write which languages you're learning and which you speak and you're Skype ID. I had a Russian conversation with someone from Moscow yesterday. Really helps.

I'm also learning Serbian. I live in Kosovo so am learning Albanian and Serbian too. Trying to stay neutral.

Never throw away a language, I say.
Even years later a language can come in useful again, you never know. Keep your hand in (an cumann gaelach if there's one in college, ciorcal comhrá or whatever, even just watching ros na rún!) if you can. You'll find it's not wasted.
