English was fairly easy to learn, I was immersed in it from birth. I also learned some spanish but has taken me a while. I found Rosetta stone works best if you install a real time translation program to run beside the lessons.

For completeness I also know karate, and 7 other Japanese words.


Speaks 3 languages tri-lingual Speaks 2 languages- bi-lingual Speaks 1 language - American <- I am here.

Two fluent, two passable, one read only.

Raised bilingual, learned the third from my grandparents, picked up spanish at school and am passable in day to day, can read french as it is another Latin language, but I do not know the rules of pronunciation. First Generation American, Spanish was the only one i tried to learn and it was not hard. Wife, learning Italian with Duolingo, seem to be going well.

Fluent in Korean and French (and music). Know the basics in Swedish, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese.

Swedish is easy as fuck. I could learn that on accident, but I don't bother since I have no opportunities for maintaining it. If (big if) you're good with musical pitch and don't have a problem with visual memory, Chinese is also pretty easy as the grammar is shockingly similar to English with none of the (grammatical) things that make English complicated. On the contrary, it's the lack of what's in the sentence that is hard to get used to for English speakers.

Nice try (((fe...oh shit, it's AOU asking!?

English and Pig Latin. Pig Latin was easy to learn because I already knew how to speak in English. No other languages fluent or passable. Do programming languages count?

Honest question from a retard who knows next to nothing about programming: how different are all those and how do you maintain them all?

I only speak English fluently. I wanted to learn another language. Until I realized what language is easy for me, it’s kind of annoying to figure out what one I picked up on quick lol. I’m not close to fluent in it but the easiest language I’ve practiced is Arabic. :[ I’ve tried to learn several and that’s the only one I make decent progress on. It’s the easiest written language too. I practiced Japanese every day for months and I couldn’t recognize any of it after the lesson was over. I practice Arabic once a month for a few months and I know a lot of their alphabet and words. It’s been a month since I logged into the language thing now and I bet I’ll still log in and do great. I gross myself out. Trying to read Russian was worse than Japanese but spoken Russian is kinda easy to pick up on. I haven’t bothered learning that much bc Cyrillic confuses me.
