So far, I have:
1. Mandarin Chinese – Native
2. English – Fluent
3. Cantonese Chinese – Conversational
4. German – Basic (Took classes for 1.5 years)
5. French – Self-Learning
6. Japanese – Self-Learning
Planning to focus on French from now on; take some serious classes starting 2010 and work on writing as well. French seems to have less complex grammar rules than German.
Hoping to go to Japan after graduation to learn Japanese. This one is not entirely functional anywhere other than in Japan, but it’d be really cool to know how to speak and write Japanese.
I know it’s not 5, but some people consider Mandarin and Cantonese both Chinese. I’d also consider learning Hindi, Arabic and Spanish to conquer the whole world…almost, anyway. :)
Cheers to all who aspire to learn as many languages as their tongues can handle.

Deutsch macht viel spaβ!
I learnt this phrase during one of my first few lessons. And boy, is this phrase useful, because nowadays I keep using it!
There are tough times learning Deutsch, especially when it comes to memorising the articles and imperfect verbs, but it feels good to know that I am learning something that will open many doors for me in the future.
Do cheer me on if you are like me too! We can do this together. Prost!
Viele Liebe XXOO

I’ve been learning German for nearly 4 months now, I only know some of the basic vocabulary and grammar but it feels very rewarding to know that I am learning a new language. A language is a lifeskill you can never have enough of. And I’m glad I’m doing this.
Ich lerne gern Deutsch :)
