For a japanese, your english is very good. I know japanese is very different from european languages and that make it very hard for you guys to learn english and other languages. And it makes it very hard for us to learn japanese too, I guess. Just keep trying.

German is the worst language..mainly because it reminds me of (s)Hitler. Spanish is one of the easiest to learn because things are spelt pretty much phonetically, though I still don't have a clue with it.

English... and that's it. A bit of French... I can decipher what people are saying when they talk to me in French usually.. watching Montreal Canadiens' games gives you a sixth sense at figuring out the language.

I really have a "thing" for language(s)! I'm totally interested in the origins of words, and the relation of one language to another.
- I am perfectly fluent in ENGLISH - I can speak FRENCH (most useful here in Mtl.) - I studied SPANISH for 2 years (a languag that I don't really like, but is so similar to French)
- I have studied JAPANESE (beginner level, would like to learn more)
- I know a few phrases to a few words of many languages including:
Polish, German, Bulgarian, Italian, Czeck, Chinese, and a few more!
And I do the accents very well, also.
