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.

All i know is Basic German. German is really hard to learn, i was glad when i started year 10 back in june i got to drop it.

[andybigbro]

this is my favourite Spanish phrase :

Es Llama es uno quadrupedo.

Translation: The Llama is a quadroped.

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

[Sam]

[Siouxsie]

[MarkWaldorf]

English, French

[Pipergun]

Bonjour! Que-est-ce-que? Or something like that....

Je voudrais un cheval noir et Qui s'apelle la poubelle? J'adore une petit lapin et Je mange une croissant!

If that makes ANY sense at all! Which I'm guessing it doesnt...

... I have no idea what I just said! Thats what I remember from school!

[Siouxsie]

think it means hello have a nice day or something to that effect

[Pipergun]

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!
