Probably just English. One of the most used language in the world and it doesn't hurt to teach your children.

I think it is smart to learn languages through music. It is even better if it is a music video...you can look at the subtitles. I learned French by listening to songs .

I would say they are, but a minority of them. This can go with most people though. Canadians can be arrogant. Chinese can be arrogant. But there is always some who are more humble .

Sign language is definitely very cool. When I see someone using sign language, I am in such awe. It is a language like no other . One day, I would like to learn sign language!

Nice find! I always hated Kanji but I guess I can stare at them all day now! Lol.

The only way to improve reading speed is to read more. Every time you get the chance to read, do it! Some of the posts above suggests you to read books about how to read faster. You can do that too.

Yes! I am a native English speaker who likes to help others who are learning the language. I also find this section very helpful for native speakers like me.

My aunt is Japanese and I was amazed when she talked in Japanese. It seemed so cool...so I decided to learn Japanese! Love it and is somewhat fluent in Japanese. I am better at understanding what people are saying in Japanese than talking and writing.

Correct grammar is very important to me. I think it is important because it is part of the English language. With poor grammar, it can change the meaning of the sentence.

I like reading comic books . If that counts as a book. Comic books are a great way to learn the language because you have pictures! The picture show you what kind of expression you should say that sentence/word.

I tried to learn Arabic. I couldn't get it at all so I just gave up. I don't really know anyone who is Arabic so I just said forget it.

Yes, I have studied the works of Shakespeare all throughout high school. To be honest, I found them boring early in my high school career. However, I started to enjoy it more in the later years of high school. You can learn a lot from reading the works of Shakespeare .

you try to talk in their respective accent (ex: Russian accent when trying to speak Russian...). I tried talking French with a french accent... didn't go too well lol.

Yes, we did. I was in French class and we had pen pals from Burkina Faso. This was during French and we would practice writing in French to our pen pals. They would write back in French and we would have to reply to them. It was pretty fun . Unfortunately, my pen pal doesn't have an e-mail so we couldn't keep in touch .

I started to learn a second language when I was in first grade. I attended a French immersion school in Canada. I love French and I am still learning a lot about the language to this day.

My first word was "car". I always played with toy cars when I was little and eventually figured out what the word is. Even today, I love cars and will always .

I really like how the word "hippo" sounds like. It is simple, but I love that word! I don't know why but it sounds really funny to me

I like google translate. I use it frequently when I am doing stuff in French. There are better ways to find foreign words online such as online dictionaries and thesauruses.

I'm glad you are enjoying French! It is a very beautiful language and it will benefit you a lot in the future when you are travelling. I remember my first French class. I was like what is this guy saying??

I was always interested in French because it sounds beautiful. I was on a French forum a while back and thus I wanted to learn French. Still learning to this day :millionaire:

Les Choristes come into mind. It is a very good movie that I saw few years ago. It is a beautiful movie and I definitely suggest you watching this movie. It also helps your french if you turn on the subtitles

LOL. I never seen this before . Thanks for making my day.

I would like to learn Cantonese. My whole family is Cantonese and would like to be able to speak it. My family is nice enough to speak English around me (though sometime I have no idea what they are saying lol).

Spanish is worth learning because it is the second most spoken language in the world. In my experience of learning Spanish, I found it very similar to French (well of course the pronunciations are different but verbs, etc... are similar). I only know very little so off to studying Spanish for me!

Here is my favourite quote: "Tell people there’s an invisible man in the sky who created the universe, and the vast majority believe you. Tell them the paint is wet, and they have to touch it to be sure." -George Carlin I think this quote is very true. Words are very powerful!
