If everyone is up for, I can add people to the second post according to their linguistic skill levels and what they want to learn. Such as:
English: - Kensai (native) Swedish: - Kensai (native) Portuguese - Kensai (beginner) Mandarine chinese: - Kensai (learning) Quote:
I thought Portuguese was very easy to learn; when I arrived in Brazil I barely knew a sentence, but in a month I learned enough to communicate with everyone about a lot of things. Then again dutch pronouncations are so very far from portuguese  Quote:
It's incredibly useful to know norwegian in norway, even though most people speak english in various degrees. Quote:
Ah sweet. Hasn't shown up yet but maybe in a while  edit:just showed up! Quote:

Just singed up for that Busuu website, going to try and learn Chinese. I love how they try to incorporate the languages you say you know into a part.

Yeah. I was seeing this girl for a while and she and her little sisters both spoke mandarin. Her 5-year-old sister tried to teach me some once and it went a bit like this: Her: Ok, now say 'wu' Me: What does that mean? Her: It means five! Me: Wu... Her: NO, YOU JUST SAID WATER! Me: T_T A 5-year-old was getting frustrated with me learning too slow.

I've signed onto the busuu website, I've been trying to learn french for a while now I've got mobile phone apps, I've been watching youtube videos and reading random articles over the web and none of them really motivate me so hopefully this does the job.

Part of the reason I want to learn it to be honest. The reliance on intonation makes it such a unique sounding language. |

I'm learning Japanese right now.
I'm fluent in English and Assamese, and I'm alright/I can manage day-to-day things in Hindi. Also, since it's quite similar to Assamese, I can understand Bengali somewhat, but I don't know how to speak it. There are lots of resources online for Japanese. Even a quick Google search turns up lots of useful stuff. I also bought a dictionary of Japanese grammar a few months back, and it's pretty damn useful. On my phone, I have a J-E dictionary app that has many, many words with their kanji, kana, and, romaji forms, so that's been a huge help too. You should really get if you're on an Android phone. I can only manage a few basic sentences so far, and I recognize a few kanji/kana, but I haven't been studying the language a lot lately, since my exams are right around the corner. Once they're over, I'll be studying Japanese pretty heavily, since watching anime and reading manga aren't marketable skills. If anyone else here is learning Japanese, we can exchange resources and stuff, if you'd like. I know James [NothingRocks] is learning Japanese. Anyone else?

I advise not learning Finnish online, or even trying to. You need a Finn, or a very experienced Finnish teacher to teach you

I did top level German in high school, though that was pretty basic, and I'm forgetting it quicker every day. I'd like to learn Spanish too, and perhaps a northern European language, like Finnish or Swedish.

Sure,
I took two years of German in high school. I still remember some but have lost some since. I'm trying to learn Japanese. Making some progress verbally, but the Kana are tough. (currently only working on Hiragana and Katakana. Kanji looks a bit daunting for now) |

Haha, well chinese people are used to a higher learning pace. I'm aching to use my chinese in one of the restaurants around here, but I have to learn more about the pronounciation so I don't accidentally wildly insult everyone in the restaurant and China while speaking. Quote:
If you want me to add any resources to the third post let me know the names and links and and a short description and I'll add it Quote:
Added you, but sort of guessed your skill level! Quote:
Ah cool, what will you do in kenya?

I want to learn Russian
I made it a point to study a week or two ago but I've been keeping up with it.... none at all. But I can still remember the basic grammar rules. Perfective, gender possesive... I think that's it. One of the examples I read was in Russian was "Could you pass the salt please?". Direct translation would be something like "Give salt please", which really helped eliminate all the baggage that comes with learning a new language. Also Ruskki babes.
