I would like to learn any other language. Japanese would be first on my list though.
Would very much like to visit that country sometime in my life.

I am almost fully fluent in spanish
I know some shawnee tribal language
I would like to learn more though, Id like to learn italian and japanese
My uncle can speak german, he tought me some simple stuff, like hello, goodbye, how are you, but that was about it.
To learn a language you have to be around people you can commonly talk to who also understand it, thats the hard part I think.

i'd love to speak japanese but im kind of discouraged, because i heard from some guy who is now living in japan for a long time that he understood first sentence in japanese after a year- before that he could only understand some words.
so apperantly it takes a lot of time, and i doubt i'll be alive for as long as it would take me to learn the language ;)

i know english.. then i took two years of spanish in high-school. ..then i tried to watch "gremlins 2: the new batch" with the cable box set to 'spanish'..
i could sort of understand tiny little bits of it.. or at least recognise it.. ..the other day i heard this nice hispanic fellow named alfredo speaking spanish on a cell phone to another spanish-speaking fellow.. i could recognise most of the phrases but since i hadn't actually used the language for so long.. the meaning wasn't there anymore..
i just suck ass at learning. but i don't think anyone can learn or remember any language very well unless they have some consistent reason to be using it..
