What other language do wish you could speak?

Yo tam bien. Mi mejor amigo es Mexicano.

 

Not to split hairs, because English has a ton of Latin influence directly and by way of French. But English is actually in the Germanic language family.

Sorry... pet peeve

 

I think it's supposed to be "también", not "tam bien". Forgive me if it was just a typo! My fingers have a mind of their own sometimes!
No tengo un mejor amigo y no tengo muchos amigos, entonces estoy un poco triste.

 

Aw

 

Better Spanish would be great. Mine is barely conversational with a really shallow vocabulary.

It's hard to use. I'm in SoCal with so many Spanish speakers but they all get English so fast there's not way to use it ( unless you're talking to someone's Grandma )

 

Thanks, I speak better than I write. Plus my autocorrect hates Spanish. Lol

 

Nihongo ne.

 

I know that nothing really beats moving and immersing yourself into the language/country you are interested in. If you are just starting out though, what is the best way to go?

Duolingo or a formal classroom?

 

I think formal classroom

 

I've heard a lot of people having good success with audio learning. It's almost the same as immersing yourself in the culture, really, if you're listening to the language all the time. Or watching movies in the language, with English subtitles, might be good. I dont really think you need a formal classroom if you're motivated enough to learn on your own. Just make your own class. You can even buy a textbook if you want.

 

I tried to learn German years ago but didn't like the sentence structure and the der/die/das pronouns. My grandparents were native German speakers and I like German films, culture and history. I can speak with a clean accent and can interpret much of spoken and written German. My grandparents assimilated when they became adults and refused to speak German to me when I was a child so I didn't develop bilingual, despite my mothers insistence to them.

 

well I speak several languages already but I wish I could speak Chinese and Arabic

 

French .

I am now using this app:
