    I hear Spanish is one of the easier languages to learn. How did you find it Kami?

    lol it's a bit different passing it in hs and actually speaking to hispanics with it. Plus, mexican spanish is different from other types.
    Spanish, French, and English here.

    I can understand and sorta speak Bosnian because I had a crap load of friends who went to my Middle School who were Bosnian. There was about 15 who were in my grade at the time.

    Apart from my mother language and english, some german, I defend myself well. Worked and played football there for three summers in a row, about 6 months overall.

    Tried Dutch (Neederlander), but began to mix with my german (I was trying both at the same time and began to mix so I had to quit one)

    IMO you should never try to learn two languages from 0 at the same time, specially if they have similarities.... Some sort of dixlesia will be guaranteed.

    I dont think spanish is that easy for english speakers. We have many more verbal times. Not to mention gender and the difference between "ser" and "estar" (to be (all the time) and to be (for a period of time) )

    I am a pilot = Soy un piloto
    I am sick = Estoy enfermo (Unless your a physco al the time) then maybe= Soy un enfermo.

    German may be harder though because of the 3 genders, the diference on sentence structure, and the dativ, genitiv akusativ and so, and their implications with the genders.

    Italian also has cases, and many verbal times (not as many as spanish, though). DonĀ“t know about french....

    Maybe an easier one could be portuguese.... I dont know. I think the easiest is english IMO

    Anyways, it is never easy, specially if you dont get it active by going to a country where it is spoken and began speaking it no matter how.

    At the end, the language is just to transfer info.

    Fluently, not any really. But I've studied French, Spanish, and Latin and still have a basic grasp of most of them.

    The kicker? I lived in Hungary for 5 months and picked up some Hungarian. I don't remember it all, but it makes for some good trivia.
