I’d planned to go back to French, but I don’t have the money or the time right now. I think I’ll try studying it on my own and maybe attending some specialized courses (conversation, writing, literature, etc). After all, I used to speak French really well (I learnt it at the same time as my native tongue in fact) but I forgot some of it over the years.
I want to be as fluent as before so I’m pleased with my resolution. 1 month ago

Last Friday I started learning Arabic. I’ve always wanted to learn that language because of its beautiful sound and calligraphy, as well as its ancient history. It’s incredibly difficult- a different alphabet and all!- but it’s worth it: it will open up for me whole new worlds. 2 months ago

I’m a native Spanish speaker. I’m fluent in English. I used to be also fluent in French as well because I lived in France when I was child, and in fact, learnt French at the same time as Spanish. However, I haven’t practiced that language for many years and I’ve forgotten way too much. So I’ve started studying French again. I plan to do it for a couple of years, pass an international exam and then move on to other languages. 4 months ago

Le français, 日本, 廣東話, español… Why not study them all? Every day time seems to be wasted, whether it be for relaxing or because one lacks something to do, or knows not what to do, time is constantly wasted. If one was to seize but a fraction of that time and use it to study languages, (s)he could come to master many of them. So, why not?
J’adore parler en les langues du monde. Souvent, ce n’est pas facile pour trouver les heures dans un jour pour les étudier, mais c’est bon si une personne a fait.
Bon chance tout le monde!Good luck everyone! 5 months ago

Started going for Japanese classes nearby a few weeks ago, and it’s been great so far. :)
I’m glad I have an amazing and dedicated teacher, who’s real patient with my personal intensive Hiragana script practice, so I’ve been enjoying my lessons (even with the continued elementary Mandarin classes), too. Yay! :) 10 months ago

Yep, been picking up conversational Mandarin for some weeks since. :)
Been good so far – although perhaps, at this point, I still feel more confident in singing in my primitive French than I would it Mandarin, hehe.
It’ll take time, but I’ll get there :) 13 months ago

yup, I’m learning Spanish… I didn’t think it was going to happen, I mean, I am not a Spanish type of person… I would have prefer something more exotic, like Turkish (so much the most beautiful language ever), Hungarian (3rd most difficult language, apparently) or Bulgarian (just love Slavic languages!), but ey, I’m adopting in Colombia (see the “adopt a child” entries) so it is obvious I have to learn Spanish. And I kind of like it actually! I am using the Michel Thomas method and in September I’ll take a class too. My only problem (so far!) is that I can’t roll my Rs! It is just physically impossible for me to do it… hopefully one day my tongue will figure out how to do it! 22 months ago
