good luck! learning another language is REALLy fun. i speak fluent spanish as well.
Thanks! I am very excited to learn! Its going to be amazing!
I bet knowing Spanish has come in handy a few times, eh?
Ni hao!
Wo ye xue zhong wen! Ke shi, wo shuo de bu hao ;)
I would like to recommend you the "Pimsleur" courses. There's no material better than that. You simply learn by listening. Also, www.ChinesePod.com is a great resource and comes at a resonable price.

REALLY FUN? I wish I saw it this way. I strugle with my french and find it frustrating. However, newly single I've a new motavation that is pushing me along rather fast (;
I admire all of you who find language so fun easy!
All the best in your pursuit verusamo!
je ces't pas, "I like other languages but i find i need to keep speeking them or writing them or i lose them, just look at my french and you can tell Eh!!!
I can be speechless in seven languages...I was onced very much in love with a young lady from Wentzhou, China and I started learning some Wentzhounese from her. Same word but intoned in three different ways meant three different things. Her mom didn't like the idea of a son-in-law who she couldn't easily communicate with, and so I failed the family test. Anyway, i didn't find the pronunciation too difficult but I can't say the same thing about intonation.
i find some people just have a knack for learning other languages. personally i was never very good at it. but i'm trying to learn german at school, but i'm finding it a bit difficult.
I haven't been on in quite a while because of college, but now I am back!
I hate my Chinese class! Lol!
I thought I would like it, but I was horribly mistaken.
I am switching my foreign language class to German next semester.

I remembered Heinrich Schliemann to be a great polyglot but couldn't remember how many languages he spoke, in my search I came up on this :

Wish you were one of these, no? Me too... record is said to be 189 languages...!!!

Learning a language is never nice when you are just starting, once you start to pick it up a bit, understand how it works and are able to write and communicate a minimum, then the fun starts.
Yeah, when I take German I am going to pay attention as much as possible, so I understad it more.
I have a friends little sister (they are from the philippines) who has started teaching me tagalog the main philippino language which is cool but i tell u its tough to learn especialy to write it down and still make sure your pronounciation is correct as well but im having fun learning.....
Good luck. I've been at it 6 years. Can never learn enough. With some friends wrote a program found at www.activechinese.com, and arranged direct lessons via Internet. Of course we hope to make something, but a labour like that is mainly for love...
