I studied English and French at university. However, I agree with Borerbore that Korean is a nice language because its intonation is attracted. And I'll try to learn this language once.
I think that every language has an its own attraction. For example, French is smooth like an naive girl. Razz

I'm Japanese and college student.
I'd like to learn other countries languages.especially I'd love to learn French.
I wanna go to France.so I have to study French hard.but French is very difficult for me.
Recentry,I hang out exchange students.they are from America and France.When i was talking them,I felt that I wanna speak English and Fernch more smoothly and tell them what i want to say.

I love study other countries language.and I think it is important for me to learn other countries language.because If i can speak some languages,i can talk with other countries peoples,and maybe i can understand other culture more easily.

Hello, I�m sammi saying hello in Beijing. You guys are so interested in what's happening in China and in the world currently, yes? I can tell you the latest news about China and chat with you both in Chinese and English. Learning Chinese in this way can be really easy and efficient. Wherever you are, the only things you need are a computer, a webcam, an earphone and a MSN or Skype account. Then you will contact real people and touch real fun. More exciting, I offer you a 30-mins free trial.

Dear all,

I would really like to learn French, Italian and Portuguese! Also, any Asiatic language like Korean or Chinese, but I think these ones are harder to learn than any other language� Rolling Eyes

I took Latin in high school and French in college. I can speak French when in France, but unfortunately no one speaks French around here, Southern California. Spanish is much more useful here, and since I've heard it so much and since it is so similar to French, I can understand a little and speak a little.

I am taking German now, at the local community college--German 3. I'll take German conversation next semester, then German 4. Then maybe Spanish.

German grammar is tough, and some of the vocabulary is hard, but a lot of it is similar to English. Kommen = to come; tanzen = to dance; schwimmen = to swim; die Hand = the hand; der Fuss = the foot; das Wetter = the weather; warm = warm; kalt = cold. Those are easy.

But: fast = almost; bald = soon; bekommen = to get. Those are hard.

I can say about 45 things in Cantonese Chinese, and I love it as a language, but if I spent 100 years studying it, I don't think I could learn it. Zu schwer fuer mich (too hard for me).
