Yes, you can be sure of that -- myself speaking as a Paddy from the Cabbage Plot of Europe. Usually just call it Irish. Live in certain part of the coutry and speak it, and the government will reward you ....

Hey guys. Coulda made a new topic but figured I'd do it here.

Is it hard to learn two languages at once? I don't mean on my own, I mean taught in school? I will be learning Russian in university as part of my program. I live in Canada so French is widely used in my city and I know the basics, but knowing it well will present more job opportunities. But would it be too difficult to learn Russian and French at the same time?

Thanks

Hey. IMHO, you CAN learn 2 languages at once. That's what I and many of my friends do. It's just easier to study languages of one "family group". Say, to study English and German is easier than English and Japanese or German and French.

It just depends on you.

no, it's not difficult. most students do that anyway. and russian and french have words in common

Take any Indo-Europeean languages, and study them at the same time, and there will be many things incommon, not only which you may recognize at first sight, but later - perhaps if you study two languages of which one in NOT a IE language, you'll see just how much they have incommon...

I know html.

That's a seriously hard language.

naaaa, it's fokofing easy

EDIT: I posted in the wrong bloody thread again.Man, I suck!

"4 hr3f="h77p://www.g00g13.c0m"

I've only been studing languages for around three months. I study French and German in school, and devote all of my free time to the study of Russian, which I absolutely love. Schools in America really need to teach languages earlier.

So:
English (Fluent)
German (Basic)
French (Basic)
Russian (Basic)
Greek (alphabet )
Latin (Basic)

No it isn't Pravit see nothing here except.... KIRBY DANCE !!!1

This is the third time this thread you've listed all the languages you can speak. Cut it out, "BlackMage."

Russian, native
English, fluent
Italian, not bad
French, a bit rusty
German + Latin = with a dictionary

I can also read some Ukrainian and Polish just because they're Slavic, not because I've ever learned them properly.

Done and done in the most literal sense of the phrase, "cut it out."

@Линдзи: I swear if you join in and make this a gang-bashing I will personally cut you out.

And I'd rather not have to show you.

I speak German semi-fluently and 'am in the process of becoming fluent in Russian and of course, english

Ok, here I go:

russian - native
english - good enough
german - used to know it rather good but almost forgot it now because of lack of use and practice.
spanish - trying to learn
C++ - fluent

You're fluent in English. What do you mean 'good enough'?
