chinese is my mother language. I have been learning english for 8 years, but my english is still poor. I am begin to learn japanese recently,but I prepair to give up. I feel the second laguage is too hard to learn.

How can I master the english? to know the japanese?

Hi guys,

It's very, very nice, that you all are so interested in languages.

I'm also, very interested! I want to learn as much languages as I can..
I like to learn new languages, I think it's the way to make other people happy, it's the possibility of communication. I want to make others happy with this!
And I like to analyze others soul and a person's soul from another culture is always more interesting.

I have already started to learn german and french and my hugest dream is to speak CHINESE very well.. (I'm in love with this language..) So yes, I'm learning chinese now.

And I'm planning to learn korean, spanish, italian, greek, slovak..

I'm beginner in French, I can say just such basic sentences: Le livre est sur la plancher. Qu'est-ce que c'est? C'est une armoir. Very Happy

C'est la vie Very Happy

Today, the communication for we is important. A country want to development which must go to out.
In the international corparation, there are many employees that come from different country. In this case, the common language is very important for communication.

A kind of language present a special culture,a long time histroy of nation.
We should be attracted to learn second language for above cause.

Well,I can speak Vietnamese(my mother language),English,French.I used to learn Chinese and Korean and Japanese,but after a long time,I forgot all.I have just begun learning Spanish.But English is the best language in my mind,because I've learnt English for 7 years,although I'm just 12 years old.
