  1. I learned by myself. I think that was the perfect environment for me.
  2. Each region has their own accent. That being said, I've been told I have the average United States accent. Not quite Southern, not quite Northern.
  3. To me, it's quite important. I know a large number of people simply aren't interested in learning grammar, but I believe it's a big part of coming across as intelligent.
  4. It's definitely not perfect. Especially with more obscure languages. It's okay for languages that are close in relation to English, though.
  5. Sharp makes me think of someone in a dapper suit in a Noir movie, while elegant makes me think of a Queen in her regalia. That's just me, though.
  6. I had learned a few things in a few different languages and I noticed something. What I noticed was that you learn a lot about your own language when you learn about other languages. So I guess I enjoyed that.
  7. It definitely has quite a rough sound to it. I think it can sound quite romantic at times, though. Romantic as in loving.
  8. I think listening is the hardest, because if you've ever learned a second language, I'm sure a lot of us could agree that simply understanding what the speaker is saying is the most difficult thing. At least for me.
  9. I'm a fast reader, and I never read out loud. I suggest anyone who wants to increase their reading speed to try and imagine yourself saying "1, 2, 3" in your head. Hey, it works for me!
  10. I agree with the idea of writing a draft of a piece and working to reduce your word count. I've never worked with anything involving a word-count other than school essays, so I don't quite know where you're coming from. But, anyways, good luck!
  11. Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever dreamt in any other language than English.
  12. I started learning one when I was a kid, and I kinda stopped for a while, but I'm back at it again!
