why did you learn a foreign language?

Well, the language I'm learning now is Portuguese. It's a long story but...I am a first generation American-Brazilian. My mother's American, father Brazilian. But because I was born in the USA, I never really got to learn both languages...only English. So I decided to teach myself. I started last year, and I think I'm doing pretty good! :)

Me too. Learn english is to pass CET-4 and get bachlor's degree . But now ,learning english is to get a better job . Gragually ,learning english is becoming my intrest. I admire those who could speak good english as better as their mother language .

Filipino is my native language.. English is the second.. Apart from Filipino and English, i know how to speak little Japanese and Chinese.. I've learned some basic Japanese words wayback in college and some Chinese words and phrases by just reading Chinese dictionary here in my pink Nintendo DS lite.. =) If given a wonderful opportunity, i'd like to learn French, Korean and Spanish..
