Oh stoppit you. At least I admit to my failings.

Re: Learning a new language

Well done & good luck to anyone who has or can master a new language. I am useless at languages other than my own. I couldn't learn any, though I tried, my brain couldn't grasp the accents nor the written parts.

Re: Learning a new language

i used to be good at learning new phrases or words in another language but now i find as I'm getting older, I just can't remember the words. I would remember one day and then its gone the next - the joys of getting older

Re: Learning a new language

I always find that immersing myself in a language is a good way to learn.

Reading newspapers (always easy) and listening to music, meeting fluent or native speakers and just not having any choice its really the best way.

Re: Learning a new language

The Swedish word 'fat' (written with a circle over the 'a') means 'dish' or 'platter' and is pronounced 'fart'. Makes me laugh every time I hear Tomas Ledin sing it. The song is also quite naughty as he tells her he's offering her his body and similar sentiments.

I love languages and have a cat who understands Gaelic.

I'm currently creating my own language.
