How old were you when you started studying?
edthebig replied to DancingLady's topic in Language Learning
I started in fifth grade so I was ten years old. I had to move to United States so it was either learn or be an idiot who doesn't talk to anyone. -
How many languages are there in the world?
edthebig replied to Hemikune's topic in Language Learning
There are so many dialects that i think it would be near impossible to know how many languages there are in the world. You might find how many official languages there are in the world, maybe, but thats it. -
If you asked me i would say hebreu.

What Language is Most Valuable to Learn
edthebig replied to DancingLady's topic in Language Learning
Since I already know spanish, even though the housekeeping thing was a little racist. I think it would be mandarin. I think it is a very important language in the business world right after english. -
Should Foreign Language be taught in primary education?
edthebig replied to TheJamal's topic in Language Learning
I think it should. Definitely. Why? Well because it will open so many doors later in life for that person and because it is easier learning when you are a kid, or so they say. Any opportunity you have about learning a language should be taken. -
Lexly - A contextual chat app (my own creation)
edthebig replied to monkey_and_ramsel's topic in Language Study Apps
Seems amazing cant wait to try it. Also I love reddit! Let me know when I can buy it/download it, or if I can already! -
Both of the languages I am fluent with which are Spanish and English I really like them both, I think Spanish might be prettier. On the other hand I hate french, it's so yucky at least to me, I dont like how it's pronounced.

I guess if it were really possible people would use it as a normal method of learning. What I'm trying to say is it's just the same thing as when a new miracle medicine pops up that makes you lose weight, if it worked it would just be called medicine.

Have you been able to grasp humor in your new language?
edthebig replied to Saholy's topic in Language Learning
Well, my new language was English, and as of right now, most of humor I read is in English and when I browse Reddit for some silly stuff every little thing is in English so yeah, I can understand humor in my new language. -
I can write very fluently in Spanish and in English and I can write like two sentences in french. Basically English and Spanish haha.

Short ones in Spanish: Pablito clavo un clavito en la calva de un calvito. Tres tristes tigres comen trigo, comen trigo tres tristes tigres.

What do you think of the different accents of English?
edthebig replied to babyleans's topic in Language Learning
I think the British accent is very sophisticated and even though my native language is Spanish, I am now fluent in English. So maybe I could try and change my English accent but I learned English by living in the United States so now I would be very difficult to try and change my English accent. But I think the British accent is very fun. -
Im not taking any courses right now but when I used to in the past even though it didn't help me one bit to learn the language I wanted, I was paying around 100 dollars a month more or less.

Whats your favorite song in a foreign language?
edthebig replied to raytalks's topic in Language Learning
Melo do pirulito. It is a Brazilian song and it's in Portuguese. I used to listen to it when I was a kid, I still don't understand one bit of it even though Portuguese is very similar to Spanish. I guess one day I will start learning Portuguese and be able to finally understand the darn lyrics. -
What sparked your desire to learn another language?
edthebig replied to deathbyprayer's topic in Language Learning
For me it was need, not desire. I had to move to America and it was either learning English or letting myself be segregated along with the other people that decided English was too hard for them to learn, so even though it was only a year in USA I learned everything I could and became extremely fluent in English. -
Try going to a country that only speaks Spanish for vacation, try to avoid speaking in your native language at all costs, even if it may seem like an emergency. I'm sure that one month talking Spanish only will help you tremendously.

Well kind of similar, when I was younger I had to move to USA and do one year of school over there, when I went there I only knew like 50 words in English and I was pretty much lost. After around 6-8 months I was more fluent in English than most of my classmates, I guess that is the best way to learn a new language after all. The experience was so immerse that time went by flying and before I realized my thoughts were already in English.
