Hello Mylotters, How many of you would like to learn a new language. Have you thought about getting together with someone of a different language to learn about it right here at mylot? Since there are so many people here from different parts of the world. I kind of think that it would be easy to do, what do you think. For example we learn through repetition
. And if we keep on hearing the same word repeated over and over again, sooner or later we will learn it right? I hear the word Hola from spanish people all the time. I think it means Hello but I'm not 100 percent sure. Anyhow if anybody knows what this word means for sure please tell us and also anything else pertaining to learning a foreign language that you'd like to share, please feel free to share it here. Learning don't have to be difficult. When we try to learn from one another. Happy mylot.

Hola means hello and it is said like good day. It is a greeting and I heard it when I went to Guatemala. The local people there are really friendly. I liked traveling so much in Central America that I thought about learning Spanish. I began evening classes in it last September. I did level 1 and I hope to do level 1a in September this year.
I learned French for five years when I was at secondary school. I find that useful when I go to France, the French speaking part of Belgium and I spoke it when I was in French Polynesia. I think that learning a new language is really enjoyable. I admire how well the non English speaking people communicate on My Lot.
I would like to learn English.I think i am not good all speaking and writting English.

I'm in the process of learning Hindi (fyi anyone who speaks Hindi and would like to learn English or Russian write me/add me). I can read basic Devanagari now and I am always excited whenever I look up a word in the dictionary and I recognize the letters right away. I feel accomplished.

I am amazed to those people who are multi-linguist. I wish I can learn some new language too, as a Filipino, the language the I can speak is only Tagalog and English. I want to learn the language of Japanese and Italian, because they are very much different to other language.

What a great idea! I love language and have some exposure to German, Spanish, French, and Hebrew, as well as a little Sign Language. I have a Masters in Secondary Education for teaching high school English, so I should do fairly well in my native language of English as well. LOL. My understand of hola is hello; I know 'shalom' is the equivalent in Hebrew. French and Hebrew are the two languages that I am focused on learning more of at the moment. I teach prayer book Hebrew at my synagogue to students in the 4th - 6th grades. I'm just barely above where they are in my understanding of the language. LOL. I tutored French at the community college while a student there, but that was a number of years ago. I'd love to be able to learn from other mylotters who speak either French or Hebrew. :)
