It would help, but you should first learn some words. You can also do that by watching movies in that language with subtitles from your language.

Italian, because... well just the way it sounds.

I don't think there really is a superior language, but of course English is the one alot of people speak/write/read.

I don't really because I don't notice my accent myself.

Do you ever forget some words in your native language?
kniera replied to Qamra's topic in Language Learning
Yeah I have it, and I find it fairly annoying when I don't know it. Sometimes I just forget a really obvious word, even while I am still with someone who talks my native language. -
What are the best languages to learn for the future and why?
kniera replied to yellowbird's topic in Language Learning
Chinese and English because there are so many people out there that speak it altough all those Chinese poeple are clutched up in a small area so it won't be really necessary. -
It is handy at some point but they let it get to far at sometimes, I use them but set in autocorrect for it so it automatically writes it full out. People doing it might consider that because most phones have that funcionality nowadays.

It doesn't translate well at all, because alot of it has to do with your culture. I have watched some comedy shows with Dutch subtitles and sometimes the jokes just get changed alot because maybe some terms just don't even exist in that language.

Yes but it won't be very effective and you won't really learn it unless you use some of the words yourself. So you can see the other ones reaction without really knowing to learn it a little better, altough this would be very akward to do.

Have you ever tried to learn a Conlang? (Ancient Post)
kniera replied to Medza's topic in Conlangs | Discussion
I haven't but I can see people with to much time on their hands just doing this because they are bored, but apart from that it has almost no use. -
Favorite Books to read in English
kniera replied to tulosai's topic in English Language | Discussion
When I was a kid I liked curious george, I started with English so early because my dad is American. -
At what age did you start learning English?
kniera replied to Medza's topic in English Language | Discussion
Sorry I feel really bad for doing this, but it is write instead of wrote, it had to be done. -
Yes this is more common in Europe since we learn English and not American. I personally prefer color because I have family that is American and almost all the games/television etc is usually in American instead of English.

What Makes You Decide You Want to Learn a Language?
kniera replied to writeletters's topic in Language Learning
If you tend to go there often it is handy to be able to speak so for example if you got on vacation to Germany often then you should probably learn at least the basics from that language. -
What are your thoughts on google translate?
kniera replied to Cutler4Life's topic in Translations (Theory & Practice)
It is probably one of the best out there, but you shouldn't really use it when trying to make a sentence because most of the time it doesn't really work because the grammar is bad. But I still think it is handy for alot of uses because the person usually still gets what you mean even while it isn't grammaticaly correct. -

Misuse/Abuse of words - That is So Wrong!
kniera replied to Believeinsomething's topic in English Language | Discussion
I have never heard this word before but it makes me shiver, it also just sounds weird. -

Do you over use "LOL" when you write to your friends?
kniera replied to Jaxter's topic in English Language | Discussion
I don't use it much at all only sometimes, certainly not spamming. But I would say I could maybe use it a little less. -
I think kinda fast but not actually what you would call fast, I don't read out loud altough I do it sometimes on accident but usually when I don't really get what the text is saying.
