Welcome back Linas... I'm sure I'm not the only one that has missed your input on here and the How-To-Learn~ forum :) Incidentally, I may as well answer the question for myself... Currently study (highest to lowest): English, Korean, Tok Pisin, French, Indonesian, Malay, Polish, Arabic. Future plans: Russian, German, Spanish, Turkish, Japanese, Hungarian, Farsi, Greek, Catalan.... maybe my interests will change though.

Might as well.
Languages I can currently speak comfortably: English, Mandarin Chinese I can read comfortably: French Have good knowledge of basics, but not comfortable speaking or reading: Spanish, German, Russian, Indonesian, Latin Have studied, but still missing essentials: Japanese, Swahili, Taiwanese Have studied, but not have almost no grasp of: Irish, Turkish, Greek, Persian Future plans: I would like to learn at least one language from each of the Indo-European language families. I also want to continue studying Mandarin, and get a good grasp of Japanese. I'd also like to study Arabic, but I'm not sure there's enough time in this lifetime. :) Oh, and Indonesian, because that's what my girlfriend speaks. |

I speak English and German, and am slowly learning Spanish from FSI Programmatic and Basic on my bike rides to school. For some reason, I want to learn Scandinavian (Danish + Norwegian + Swedish). I also want to learn Korean and Chinese. Those are the "big ones" on my list.

I speak English. I can read and write basic French and know some Quebecoise French. I love
I desperately want to learn Thai. I have been trying for 3 years now. I have a Thai wife and I am trying very hard to learn Thai. My wife tried to teach me I am so happy to find this FSI web-site I have downloaded the student text and a few lessons. Hopefully I will learn passable Thai to impress her family and friends. I also have a toddler son who my wife is teaching Edited by fbsmith3 - 12 April 2007 at 7:28am |

I speak English fluently. I understand Hindi very well, but can't speak the language (very frustrating, my parents spoke to me in Hindi as a child but I never started speaking it myself!). I study French at uni and hope to work on my Arabic - a language that I was schooled in for many, many years, but the great rift between classical/MSA/spoken Arabic I think prevents me from communicating properly in it. I'm finding the FSI Arabic course book excellent. :)

Hi, My native language is Russian and I can speak and understand some other Slavic languages, viz Polish, Czech. My second languages are English and Deutsch, these two languages let me understand written texts e.g. in Swedish etc.
I have master degree in Tibetology and Sinology, but I don't think that a possibility to master these "exotic" tongues can be achieved with the same easiness as European.
I would like to speak Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Mongolian and Vietnamese. To tell the truth I would like to be able to speak a language from every language family and group. I'm not quite sure that human life is long enough for such an object.

I am a native speaker of English. I am at a conversational level in Mandarin. I live and work in China. I have studied Spanish for many years but do not get many chances to use it now. I now find it easy to understand and read but difficult to speak. I am planning on brushing up my Spanish in the near future. I just started the FSI Thai I program and love it. I get to travel to Thailand annually for work so Thai is something that I've become interested in. The languages I'd like to learn in the future are: Thai, Indonesian, Hakanese, Greek, and Hindi.
