  1. I found it is easier to learn a third language after picking up a second. There are some similarities like phonetics, characters or structure among language. However, it still requires hard effort to excel in the third language.
  2. - I have never fallen in love with someone who speaks a foreign language. I am not good at language learning. I doubt if I can cope with the cultural difference and language barriers. I am unsecure that I can sustain this love and relations.
  3. I am not sure whether I will. It is possible for the similarities among them.
  4. Honestly speaking I have no knowledge of any constructed languages which you mentioned. I have never heard of any of them. Simish may be the only game-created constructed language which I know.
  5. I have spent some time studying Sanskrit. I cannot speak it with any person because I do not know any person who is willing to speak with me. I do not know much about the language. The only time that I use this language is when I sing a song in Sanskrit.
  6. I think Mandarin is most valuable to learn because China is developing. There are many business opportunities.
  7. I think your French teacher has made a valid point. Mouth structure is part of the vocal organs that it can affect how the sound is delivered. I have difficulty in rolling my tongue therefore it is not easy for me to pronounce rolling tongue of sounds properly.
  8. I will recommend French. It is more popular than Spanish in Canada.
  9. I agree with RhodaEttore that 'because' will be a much better word to use. There would be no course changed if the child was not complaining sounds more sensible.
  10. I used to believe that learning the language of places where I am going to visit is necessarily. I do not think it is efficient as I am not very good at language learning. I rely on the tourist guides of the planned tours today. This will relieve my language burden when travelling.
  11. I would say German is a difficult to learn. There are so many form of vocabulary and rules of language.
  12. It is difficult for me to learn and understand idiomatic expression and proverbs properly. They are unique from cultures and cultures. It is usually very easily getting misled without hard work in understand both the language and culture.
  13. I like English most because it is the major language that I can communicate with people from different parts of the world. I cannot think of which language that I like least presently. I was not getting much exposure to different languages.
  14. I agree that British English sounds sophisticated. It is so pleasant to hear. I am not sure whether English is the most complicated and difficult language to learn, but I heard that German is a difficult language.
  15. I agree that these phrases are much better: " people from the age of 16 onwards" " from today onwards" 'from 1945 onwards there was peace in Europe'. 'you need to continue onwards'
  16. Presently I have no interest in learning Spanish because I cannot afford much time on a language which I know nothing about. However, I like a song with several lines which is written in Spanish. I hope I can sing it in proper Spanish. I listen to the song again and again and it is still very difficult for me. It is too fast. I cannot catch it. Could you give me a hand? Thanks in advance. Here's the song in Spanish: (Ah, ah) Corazón, Sweetheart (I can't stop dreaming of you,) no puedo dejar de pensar en ti, I can't stop thinking of you (I can't stop dreaming,) Cómo te necesito, How I need you (I can't stop dreaming of you,) Mi amor, como te extraño, My love, how I miss you.
  17. It sounds like interesting. It is not bad to expand the vocabulary bank through game. I always do not have sufficient vocabulary myself.
  18. It is difficult for me to learn English through movies. I hardly understand their jokes and language because they are not formal. I can understand the synopsis but nothing more.
  19. I write in English. I find it difficult to write and people may not understand my writings if it is not written in English. English is my foreign language. This was a poem written on my profile page for an online game that I played.
  20. I study because I want to keep up with the world and use my brain to its fullest potential as possible. I do not want to get Alzheimer's disease when I grow older. I like to learn and know how the world is doing.
  21. It is fun and helpful to learn language through music. I am having alternate mean to learn, get used to the sounds and intonation as well as the rhythm of the language. I usually listen and try to learn the lyrics of songs. It does help me a lot.
