I’m quite advanced in French already and intend on studying it at university. Spanish is coming along and I recently started learning Italian. Spanish is by far the easiest of the three so far. I truly believe that you should start with French. It’s meant to be the hardest of the “big four” (French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese) and gives you such a good grounding in the Latin-based vocabulary.
My only problem is that finding the time to devote to this is getting more and more difficult!

I love learning Irish terminology, especially scientific words. A lot of them were invented in the past fifty years and they’re usually very logical and thought out. “www.focal.ie” is fast becoming my most used website for homework.

A few weeks ago, I was in West Cork in the South of Ireland on holiday. One afternoon I stumbled upon the local bookshop. Even though it was very small, I decided to go in and have a look. The majority of the shelves were dedicated to books about Sailing and fishing, but I managed to find a very small reference section. I found a Polish phrasebook and started looking through it. I loved it immediately, so I bought it and a small Polish dictionary. As soon as I got back to our house I started studying them. When I got back back home I bought an audio course and a larger dictionary, and now, thanks to a random encounter with a bookshop, I’m studying Polish. I’m going to Germany for the in two weeks for the first time, so I bought a Berlitz Phrasebook and have started studying some phrases. I feel like I’ve made so much progress on this goal in so little time
