as a college student i must master English besides mother tongue chinese after graduation.lukly i should study only one foreign language,and i must mater English greatly.we must pass English step exam every year,as far as coming to TOEFL the highest level in my nation.because English is very popular and abroad everywhere,many people learn it in China,which is a good trend...
i know that many member of trap17 come abroad,so must master more language than me.do you think the other languges you matered is much useful and how many do you master? |

Knowing more than one language is a wonderful thing to have under your belt...Besides English, I have studied Spanish for about 8 years, with the last few being the most extensive. I read the language somewhat well, I can write it even better, but I still have a lot of trouble speaking it fluently. Knowing all the different tenses can be confusing at times. Oh well, I'll keep trying
 One day, I hope to learn Italian, and then try it out in Venice! Woo! |

Whoa, nice job so far hulunes. How long have you been studying English? I was born in America but my parents aren't American. I'm Chinese-American and I speak Mandarin and English fluently. I took French for 4 years but I just got sick of it. It's a really nice language and all, but it eventually got boring and it was hard for me.....plus I'm lazy. I want to learn more French....but I don't. I also want to learn Japanese. I started studying it by myself, trying to get the hirigana and katakana, but I forget to practice them everyday so I'm not doing as great as I had hoped. But it's all good. I just kinda wish I could read and write Chinese #_# but...I was lazy when I was a kid too....so no hope for me of ever learning another language. >_>

Hulunes, keep on trying. English is considered to be one of the most difficult languages to know. I would agree because it doesn't always follow hard line rules. I took Spanish when I was in highschool eons ago but I have been trying to develop it...mostly when I go to mexican restaurants. One time I even received a free drink from the waiter for trying to speak his native tongue...so it has its advantages. I would like to eventually speak it fluently because where I live the spanish community is growing at an incredible rate.
One related question though...is "baby talk" considered a foreign language?  See you on the flip side... Byrdhouse
