Well, it is not that much difficult to learn spanish when you have portuguese as your language, it is harder to learn french. Brazilians have a very strong accent, that is transmited to every language, other than portuguese, that they might learn and speak. Pretty much like the spanish people, they have an horrible english.
and an equally horrible futeball team  ;) ;D

Spanish - the language you use to speak to God.

Italian - the language you use to speak to women

German - the language you use to speak to your dog.

Good comment LOL!!!

Chinese (Mandarin of course!) and Spanish.


As for the guy who said that the Japanese grammar is easy....  ::) ::) ::)
How many lessons did you have? Japanese grammar is one of the most difficult in the world, and i am German. Sure the first few weeks are easy because there is no plural, articles, gender or cases.
But then the Japanese language has honorific language, a total different passive and so on and so on....
There aren't also 3 alphabets, clearly speaking there are 3 alphabets (Hiragana, Katakana and Latin) and the Kanji of which you would need about 3000 to be considered of education, 2000 are what Japs learn in School.


If you want to learn a language for the goal and not for the fun of it, go for Chinese or Spanish.

I want to say something here. Many people say that Spanish and Portuguese are very similar languages and if you speak Spanish then Portuguese will be pretty easy and vice versa. Well, that's NOT true at all. I don't understand not even one word in Portuguese. And I know some Brazilians living >6 years over here and their Spanish sucks really really bad.


It depends... If you are talking about the "real" spanish...you know  The one from Spain. Than its easy.

The rest? Thats not spanish...Sorry. 8)

that may be the case, but given the direction of the wind and other hopeful factors, might not need be for japanese anything.

No, I don't play xbox. I just happened to notice that this thread was four pages long and in true Getbig style was missing a mom joke so I threw one in for good measure. It's all good.

I think everyone will be mandated to learn Chinese since they own all of the debt from other countries. It is only a matter of time before EVERYONE will be speaking Chinese.

Won't ever happen

Depends.

For me, spanish was pretty difficult because i was used to learning Japanese without any genders, plural and so on. Also the different use of past tense and so on was pretty annoying for me.

As i have already some experience with latin, french, english, german, italian the vocabulary was almost no problem.

I speaka lil bita Spanish...I believe Spanish and Portuguese should be the ones are most important to Americans. Being that a large percentage of our populace speaks Spanish (Hell, we have options on whether to press 1 for Spanish, 2 for English). Doesn't make sense that a lot of Americans cannot communicate with one another... And that we should build relations with the Latin American countries. The Western Hemisphere needs more unity, more cohesion... Also, Brazil is the largest Latin American country (duh)...furthermore...the Latin womens are better than all the others womens---you want to communicates with the good looking womens...

That would be me. I agree with everything you say, but then my dad was half Japanese and half Chinese and I grew up in a martial arts environment and now teach Japanese taiko drumming - so I've kind of been surrounded by the language for awhile. Maybe that made it feel easier to pick up (and I don't speak it well, I know that). But grammatically I still find German the most difficult language I've tried to learn.

And I live in Schwaben. I have no idea what these fuckers are saying half the time.

Have to agree with DK about japanese. The first ten lessons were super easy but suddenly it goes in a completely different direction; actually, you can really feel the link between language and culture. So i must say I gave it up. I speak French of course, English, Persian and I used to be almost fluent in Italian as i was going there 4/5 times a year. Now, I can barely understand it.
