Learning New Language

Language is a method of communication, either written or spoken, in a form of words. This is an important tool to convey messages from the speaker to the receiver. There are numerous languages all over the world and learning all of them would be a tedious process but not impossible. According to the article on the internet ( the 10 most spoken languages are: Chinese, Spanish, English, Hindi, Arabic, Portuguese, Bengali, Russian, Japanese and Punjabi/Lahnda. I have heard and used Chinese, Spanish and Japanese and I think it it's interesting to learn the other languages. Of course, I believe I am fluent in English and Filipino and I am trying to perfect my Spanish-speaking skill. It was actually much easier for me to learn Spanish because we've been using a lot of Spanish words in the Philippines. What about you? What languages are you using? Are you also learning other foreign languages?

I am an English speaking American. I studied French and Hebrew, but don't have an ear for languages.

I took French class in college and I like it a lot. Hebrew is an interesting language to learn. Thanks for sharing.

My daughter pointed out to me that music, maths and computer program, each of them also uses a different language. I would love to be able to understand Spanish, French and Italian. (No, I haven't learned them yet .)

@AkoPinay Haha! That's something new. To be honest, I know the basic of computers but when it comes to some programming or technical terms, I feel like quitting. Haha!

I speak English,Filipino and Cebuano most of the time.I can also speak some Arabic, Spanish and two other dialects.I'm currently trying to learn German for future purposes.Learning another language is easier said than done but I think it's easier to learn it if you surround yourself with people who know the language.

Oh, I love Spanish language! I have a Mexican friend and even if he's fluent in English, he used to communicate to me in Spanish so I can practice my Spanish-speaking skills.
