i know three languages very well, arabic, english and french. well, not very well but good at speaking understanding and writing, and a little bit of turkish . right now i am living in a country where a lot of people speak spanish so i thinking of learning some spanish words when i will have a time .

for me, i always think that learning languages is very awesome, i find it fun and interesting experience to learn about others people life and traditions. so i know i will continue learning more new languages whenever i will have a time in my life.

In my case, that is Dutch, English, German, French and Italian.

We had to learn 4 languages in secondary school, and I traveled a lot and worked in a lot of different countries, so that was useful for me.

I also learned a bit extra by self study.

Because of doing karate and most of the instructions from 1st kyu being in Japanese, I began to develop an interest in that language, but it is burning on a very low flame at the moment (Until I have a bit more time).

Due to working in Greece (and having studied classic Greek at school) I also learned a bit of modern Greek, but the problem is, if you do not maintain those things, they easily get forgotten.

An Iraqi friend of mine also started teaching me classical Arabic, but he moved away, so I am stuck, although he said that I would begin to speak it soon since I picked up the grammar quickly.

Maybe it will happen one day, who knows.

I am and have always been a language maniac, unfortunately there are only 24 hours in a day.

My native language is Tagalog and we are studying English in school so I speak both. I know a little words from other countries such as Spanish, Mandarin and Japanese but I can't really communicate. I want to learn but if you are not using it frequently, you will just forget it. It is better to have an exchange partner where you can talk always so you will never forget it.
