I enjoy learning new languages - I think its intresting.
And Japanese is bit of a strange one and you dont really get the chance to learn it.

I find it quite difficult - Its more spoken over in the the West of Ireland. The language is slowly fadeing away tho. Its a bit of a shame really.

At my school Japanese, French and Spanish are compulsory until Year 9 because it's a language college, but I wasn't there in Year 9 so I never got round to learning Japanese or Spanish.
I can obviously speak English and can hold a basic conversation in French too.

I use this quite often when I'm in Mallorca.

Pipergun 07-10-2006 05:08 PM

German gets very complicated.

They have many words that are extremely long compared to the English. That's because, with the examples that I can think of, when we create a plural word for a group of objects, we create a new word for them. However, Germans can sometimes shove all the words together and create a huuuge compound word. If this doesn't make sense, I'll e.g.

English: "Science" Includes Physics, Biology, Chemistry.

German: "Naturwissenschaften" Meaning literally: "The study of knowing nature."

English: "The sights" As in, "I'm going to see the sights"

German: Sehenswuerdigkeiten. Meaning "A visit worthy of seeing".

... I now have no idea why I posted this, but never mind! It's taken me a while, so i'm not gonna waste it, lool! :laugh:
