enderzero 0 Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Besides English and possibly Japanese, what languages can you speak? Well or not so well. Were they hard to learn? What is the most difficult for you? I speak English and am studying Japanese. I studied some German in school but hated it. Link to post Share on other sites
xxx 2 Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Studied (for want of a better word) French and Gernam at school and was hopeless at both. I wasn't in the least bit interested, that surely had a lot to do with it. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 I studied French for years and got pretty good at it. I can still interpret Jacques Chirac's grimaces, gestures and shrugs with the sound turned off. But I learned more German from a short course of German girlfriends than I did from a long course under the scary Frau Hubbold at my school. I can also order 2 beers in Spanish.

snowboard_freak 0 Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 English - obviously! I studied Japanese at school for three years, at the time i wsn't very interested, but i wished i had kept on doing it. I can't remember much of it but can still read some of it, even if i dont understand what it means!! I also did German, French and Latin at school for a short time but didn't enjoy any of them much either. When i lived in Hong Kong (when i was 10) i studied Mandarin for about a year or so. Needless to say i've forgotten it all!! Link to post Share on other sites
