Pokcare Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 It's fun being able to speak many languages for different purposes. I always get amazed by multilingual people because they don't have to rely on translation apps, which aren't that reliable too. I've tried learning Korean as a hobby and made progress but there's still a lot to study. What language(s) would you like to learn for any reason?

knchatty Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Honestly I studied French for four years in high school (many moons ago) and I remember very little. Even fresh out of school my studies were of no use to me. I do love to learn new things but a new language is not one of them. I've traveled out of the states and felt comfortable enough with just speaking English. I do think it is great that you (and many other people) want to learn a new language.

EchoUnderfoot Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) I've studied Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish. I found learning a new language to be very difficult, even though it was something I really wanted to do. I think that I would need to study a new language by immersion. I do think that if I ever go abroad, I'll learn a bit of the language spoken at my destination. Not only is it polite, but it could come in handy!

Pokcare Posted March 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) Part of what I like about learning a language is gaining another perspective because there are words that don't have an equivalent translation from one language to another. It's just that you'll have to use it from time to time to continue remembering it. Edited March 8, 2021 by Pokcare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickel Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Some years ago, I started French, then Japanese, and then Korean lessons on the Duolingo app. I'm still on beginner level on each of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SableC. Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 I took some French classes in college, but I can't say that I've ever been fluent. I'd like to learn computer coding. I'm not sure if you'd count that as a different language, but it sure feels like one to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G R Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 Spanish. It would open up business opportunities for me. German is a close second. I'm of German heritage, so it would be a labor of love for me to try to learn that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickel Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 I downloaded the Babbel app to try out beginning-level Portuguese – even though I made just a tiny bit of progress with my languages on Duolingo. It's fun using these apps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
