What language are you currently learning?
-
English， I have learnt it for more than twenty years, but it seems still sucks
-
Just a word to you all, never, never, never, try to learn Finnish or Hungarian. Damn! They are tough.
A retirement home I volunteer at has some Hungarian speakers. I decided to try to learn some Hungarian.
I got a course "Learn Hungarian in 3 Months" - two years later I was half-way through the course and everything still looked like gibberish. -
-
slowly learning Japanese
-
Slowly learning Thai (or ThEnglish :P) at work
-
I want to learn Japanese, care to provide some tips?
-
This is advice I'd gotten when I was thinking of learning Japanese.
Learn the particularly difficult and complicated writing systems FIRST. There are two syllabaries (Katakana and Hiragana) that make the same sounds but have different cultural and grammatical implications. There's a third system of chinese based ideographs called Kanji, I'd been told that there are around 2,136 that are commonly used.
After you've gotten the writing system down THEN start learning the vocabulary and grammar together.
Good luck.
-
Here's information about the list of Kanji expected to be learned by highschool students.

I think it’s not necessary to learn 漢字 for a beginner

Luck is something that you will need for sure!

Katakana and Hiragana were easy, except for that Shi/Tsu that looks exactly the same in katakana, gonna start with some grammar, I believe kanji shall take a whole life to learn, but at least Fire and Tree are easy to remember. Thanks for the advices and links.

I am just getting started on Italian.
Hoping it will be not too difficult after studying French in school, and speaking casual Spanish with Latin friends in South Florida.
