Out of curiosity, how many of you are currently trying to learn a language? I've recently become more determined to actually learn Spanish. I know English and Greek, and I find it very easy to learn Spanish because of it. I practice a lot online. I think I have the sentence structure down pretty well, but I do need to work on memorizing more verbs, nouns, and tenses. I don't find it too hard. I took a year of it in school and found it fairly easy. Considering I could actually use the language in life, I thought I would give it a go. I actually like it. I think it's easy to study, but harder to understand speak/understand. Something I should work on. La idioma Espanol es facil por estudiar, pero es dificil por comprender. <if there's any Spanish speakers, please correct it if its grammar is wrong.
So I'm taking a Spanish class for school it's the first time I've tooken it online and it's the last time I'll be taking it online as well.
I'm learning French presently. Through Duolingo. It's refreshing my memory from when I learnt French in High School. @Skaros - Kudos for Mentioning Languages like Hindi and Hebrew. Not many consider those in common lists of languages to learn .
I'm learning English, German and Swedish. After summer I'll start Spanish as well(mostly because my friend promised to do my homework and/or study with me )
We would say this: El idioma español es fácil de estudiar, pero difícil de comprender. The word español is not capitalized in Spanish, unless it starts the sentence (we don't capitalize the different languages like English does). Fácil and difícil don't have a stress on "il" so there should be an accent, in this case I'm not sure if you can't write them because of the keyboard but I explained for others if you do know it. Lastly, "por" usually means "by". In this case you should use "de". Hopefully it's helpful. Edit: One thing I forgot to mention is that idioma, even though it ends with "a" like most female words in Spanish, it uses the male pronouns so that's why I used "El idioma" instead of "La idioma".
I'm trying to learn turkish using duolingo, which is a amazing app for learning languages. I also kinda wanna learn Arabic, Icelandic, or Quechua, the seem like very interesting languages.
I can speak English, learning Japanese. I can speak and listen to a somewhat good standard, just writing I came get a hold of.
None, i speak english and spanish (as my born language) i think those two sum up a great portion of the world's most spoken, except those two which i absolutely love, i'm not interesting in going for a third language
I've been learning German for the last few years. I'm to the point where I can understand a lot of what I read/hear, but I can't actually speak it very well yet. I notice a few people mention using apps to learn, but I'm actually learning some of my German from music and a lot of it from football.
I was learning quite a few languages, but they've kind of taken a back seat. Currently learning Czech and Italian. Arabic was too hard for me, it gave me headaches. I already knew a bit of Italian anyway so I'm just getting back into it. I speak in Spanish and stuff daily too but am nowhere near fluent.
Well I am learning French for school (GCSEs) and German and Japanese in my spare time, if I have any.
Thanks. I knew I was using por in the wrong way, but I really needed someone to clarify it for me. I knew the accent marks, I'm just too lazy to try to type them properly. I think proper use of por will be the hardest thing I learn... Ah, I knew I was forgetting a few nouns that are masculine that end in a. I just completely forgot which ones.
You are welcomed! I see you are lazy with accents, I used to have that but not anymore. About por, as long as you know the different uses I don't think it'll be hard. But hey, I'm a native so I can't see it from other people's eyes, how difficult it could be. Yeah, there's some like that. Just learn them by memory since there's not much of a rule to them, I think. My boyfriend is better at explaining grammar than me, so I'm sure he can explain those things a lot easier. :lol:
