I'm trying to learn Māori and my head feels as if it is about to explode. It gets so much harder to learn a language the older you get, I remember Portuguese and sign language being hard but not this hard to digest and learn.

I used to know quite a bit of Irish but lost most of it now.
I can still ask the way to the bar and know how to order a pint of Gunniess though, so if I'm ever back there I'll be fine. But there's the different dialects and all of it sounds really different, depending where you're from.

It's lacroix darling

Back when my Mum used to live in Italy I actually picked up a fair bit of Italian. I wasn't fluent, but I could have a very basic conversation (I was 7/8 I think). It's weird because I've forgotten it all now..

Learned just enough French and Spanish to get B's in them at GCSE but I pretty much forgot everything the moment I stopped studying it. Too much of an ignorant Brit to care about knowing other languages really, only did two at gsce to get out of doing a DT subject

It's one of my biggest regrets not really learning another language, I did GCSE French and know a little bit of holiday Spanish but would love to be more Fluent. It's one thing I am going to really encourage my son to try and stick at....

I was awful at Irish and still am. I was okay at French but I grew to love the language since leaving school and learned it. I'm pretty fluent in it now.

I did German for a year when I was 13-14, the year before GCSE
I'm trying to get back into it, have a couple of books, should have carried it on to GCSE |

I studied German for five years, I completely ditched it after my last exams though, in 2009. I am definitely not fluent, because I have forgotten a lot of stuff, but I can understand a lot of German when reading or listening.
I have always been awful at Irish, never put much effort into it. I plan to move to Portugal in the next year or two, I am hoping I will pick up the language rather quickly, I know immersing yourself in a language is the best way to pick it up.

Studying German at uni, lived in Germany last year... my dad's fluent in Dutch and it's very similar to German anyway so I can pick up a lot of Dutch and Afrikaans. I studied French all the way through school and have retained some knowledge; and have some functioning knowledge of Italian, Spanish and Russian too...

You have a language mechanism to accquire language when you're younger that disappears when you're about 10, hence why it's so much harder to learn a new language as an adult. I just about manage English.
