Languages

[InConserv]

Languages... I love them myself.
What others do you know or would like to learn?

I've been learning Spanish for a year. But will be learning it for a 3 more years also to ensure a good translation skill. And after that, Italian should be very easy as they resembles each other much.

How about you?

[InConserv]

I've done a lot of self study with portugues,spanish,french and hebrew. Although I havent mastered any of them I'm better with spanish and portugues at the moment. I purchased a good chinese cd program but I've been lazy to start it. My skills in all are really at begginer to moderate.

Waow, it sounds really cool. Yet I have to make a real effort to learn Spanish as it is about my translation. So It's difficult for me to learn another language while learning it.

So, do you want to learn a bit Turkish?

[InConserv]

I do indeed in fact i purchased a book on turkish. It was published a long time ago though and very hard to learn from the book itself.

[Antioksidan]

I think online learning is better

Well, is Turkish difficult to learn?

[InConserv]

I had a lot of training in school to learn french which helps loads with pronouncing the words. But its very hard to learn any language without hearing a non native speaker. There is a place in my state which has free classes id love to attend but its very far from where i live.

It seems a very good place.

But why do they start free courses? I have difficulties in understanding that.

[InConserv]

Its kind of like a gathering of understanding so to speak. For instance if you had a population of people in your country that have ancestory from france they would offer free french classes to help you learn more about where you came from.Its mainly a learning center for turkey
