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.
