I agree, that Television can greatly increase you influence on learning a new language. Although just watching TV won't make you learn new languages, you have to ensure that you learn the language, because no one can force you.

I wouldn't call all of us arrogant. I think we are just a bit confident and maybe cocky at times. Although some people have good reason to be. I just don't think we are that arrogant.

I will definitely have to check this out soon.

Multiple choice are the easiest tests you could ever take. It is merely process of elimination. You have to eliminate the dumb answers, and make sure you pick the most rational.

I don't think shy would be the word for it. Sometimes I would be a little tense, because I don't want to say the wrong thing around them or mess up. I would never be shy though, because you could easily just ask them for hep down the road.

My favorite part about learning a new language is actually being able to use that language fluently. No one wants to learn a language for no reason. It always feels great to be able to speak that language after all your hard work.

I'm happy to hear all of you guys great experiences.

I really can't remember my first words. That is definitely something I would have to ask my parents, because I was too young and I can't remember at all lol.

I mean personally, I don't see why I would ever have to learn a lot of languages. Although for some people they have reasons to why it would be important for them to learn multiple languages. There are benefits to learning multiple languages though.

I have never heard of language extinction. The reason I say that, is because a language going extinct is something serious. Although I can understand why they would be switching their language to English. English is a easy language and spoken almost on ever continent.

I think Spanish is the easier language to learn. Although both languages are hard to learn, just like any language. I think it is really up to you, and how hard you are willing to work at learning that language.

I only speak two languages, English and Spanish.

My library has a pretty decent section for foreign languages, but I would not say it is a vast selection because it is not. Although there are excellent titles in my library.

I would assume it would be easier to learn one language at a time, rather than learning two at one time. I mean that would put such a strain on your brain lol. I don't think I would be able to think straight trying to learn two languages at one time.

I always hear about people who can speak multiple languages. I want to know if someone has ever met someone who speaks multiple languages, because it has always interested me. Do any of you know someone like that?

Learning a new accent can be hard for some people, because they are not used to doing so. I remember when I was in high school I had a teacher, that was strict about that. She would always want use to speak in Spanish, but also sound like a Spanish speaking person as well. She would get mad if our accent was not on point. Which was hard because you have to train yourself to speak that way, especially rolling it off the tongue correctly.

I have a hard time spelling words with tons of double letters. I am great at sounding a word out though, which makes things much easier.

I never forget any words from my native language. However there are times when I forget how to spell a certain word out of my native vocabulary. That is the only problems I may ever have related to my native language.

I have not done anything like this before. Although I could see myself doing something like this. Even though I have a great work ethic, learning languages is something totally different. It takes hard work and dedication to commit yourself to learning a new language.

The most efficient way for me to learn a language, is with the help of someone who speaks that language fluently. I have a hard time learning a language by myself, but with some assistance it is made easy.

Where I come from, there are so many slang words out there that we are using, it does not make any sense. Although some of the basic ones, are those that are abbreviated. Nowadays all the young people do is abbreviate everything that they say lol.

I usually say slow poke. I don't even know what a slow poke is, I just assume it is some type of animal closely related to a sloth lol.

They are correct, you would not require a second period.

I plan on teaching my children, my native language. My native language is English, which will be there first language learned by default. After teaching them english I may try to have them learn some harder more difficult languages such as Spanish.

I have never heard of Duolinguo either, but it is definitely something that is worth checking out. I will definitely be checking this site out soon, it sounds like it will be beneficial to all my needs.
