^Jesus, now I feel like shit for only knowing English and reading your guys conversation through Bing translate...(especially because I was taught French from grade four until grade ten but forgot it and had the chance to learn German but gave up on it).

Warum lernst du überhaupt Deutsch? Das wäre so ziemlich die letzte Sprache, die ich lernen wollen würde. Based on comments he made earlier today I think he's a Brazilian of German descent. Or he's at least part German. Just a couple of drops of German blood from my mother's side, whose grandmother came from Germany like a century ago, so it's a very distant relation, but a lot of people still speak some dialects around here, mostly in the countryside, so it doesn't really affect city boy me. I study German more because I chose International Relations for my degree, and knowing languages is important, though one of the reasons why I chose this course was because I liked studying languages in the first place, so I don't know

Don't think too highly of me. From a German's perspective I bet my paragraph was an atrocity, even though I did a double check with Google's help

I feel so inadequate now for speaking only one language, especially given what I explain in my above comment, that I had more than one opportunity to be at the very least bilingual but decided to remain as I am.

Learning English nowadays is not such a serious effort anymore. We're in constant contact with Anglo-Saxon culture and media, so we absorb it through osmosis while growing up, watching American movies, listening to British songs and surfing on the internet. People who live in English speaking countries just don't have that incentive, because for most of them it's not a necessity and they'll likely never use their second language anyway.

That's true but as a Canadian, it would've been smart for me to continue studying French. It opens a lot more doors job-wise here but I was too lazy and picked different courses as soon as French classes were no longer mandatory for me. Ah well.

Warum lernst du überhaupt Deutsch? Das wäre so ziemlich die letzte Sprache, die ich lernen wollen würde. Ich studiere Internationale Beziehungen auf der Universität. Deswegen, ist es sehr wichtig, dass wir viele Fremdsprachen lernen würden, und ich denke nur eine Fremdsprache ist nicht mehr genug. Ich spreche Englisch fließend und Spanisch fast fließend, und die nächste wichtige Sprache ist Deutsch, wichtiger als Französisch heute, ich glaube (es gibt auch viele Deutsche Kolonien in meinem Staat, und meine Urgroßmutter kam aus Deutschland). Doch Deutsch ist nicht so schwer als Russisch. Genau, ich habe auch Russisch gelernt, aber nur für zwei Jahre und in einer schlechten Schule ^Jesus, now I feel like shit for only knowing English and reading your guys conversation through Bing translate...(especially because I was taught French from grade four until grade ten but forgot it and had the chance to learn German but gave up on it). Don't think too highly of me. From a German's perspective I bet my paragraph was an atrocity, even though I did a double check with Google's help Das ist nicht wahr. Nur ein paar Kommata zu viel. (I'll stick to English now so everybody can understand everything.) My sister was in Brasília for a year at the Goethe Institut and had a Brazilian boyfriend for many years, so she's nearly fluent in Portuguese. It's a beautiful language. I had Latin for five years and French for four years in school and I forgot soo much. Although I wanted to learn more languages at my university, it's sadly incompatible with my schedule. And I agree, Russian is a very hard language, I have several Kazakh friends who can speak Russian but can't write or read anything. And they just taught me filthy insults.

As I mentioned earlier, my family is from Portugal and I'm lucky that I grew up speaking two languages, Portuguese and German. I don't know why, but Portuguese doesn't get much love. Most people think it sounds like "ugly Spanish".

I also like Arabic and Polish, I should learn the latter, so that I could understand people who try to speak with me sometimes, because my last name is a germanized Polish one.

Most people think it sounds like "ugly Spanish". Tua família fala só português em casa ou mistura tudo? Deve ser uma bagunça a mistura de alemão e português nos bate-bocas Anyway, some accents of Portuguese can indeed be very ugly. As a Southerner I'm biased, but we have the cleanest pronunciation of them all due to our proximity to Argentina and Uruguay, pronouncing every letter without strange R and S sounds (and we don't eat every vowel like you Tugas do ). The Northern half of Brazil is not an "ugly Spanish", but more like an ugly version of PT-PT. I can barely understand the Northeners sometimes, and that can be a problem sometimes because most call centers in the country use Northern/Northeastern labor, which is cheaper as the region is much poorer. Still, to be honest I am not a fan of Latin languages, so I don't like Portuguese and Spanish that much. I prefer consonant over vowels

I also like Arabic and Polish, I should learn the latter, so that I could understand people who try to speak with me sometimes, because my last name is a germanized Polish one. Russian has my favorite pronunciation. I love their rolled R's, even more rolled then my Gaucho-Portuguese dialect The Russian writing is actually the easiest part, as you can memorize the alphabet in a week. The vocabulary isn't that hard either, but it's the grammar that's the problem. With German is the other way around to me, with the vocabulary being the source of most problems instead of the grammar. The old books we were using in the earlier levels, the Menschen series, were a lot more helpful with that. Now we are using a Berliner Platz, and it sucks IMHO. And like your sister, I'm also studying at the Goethe-Institut. It's not very cheap, but it's one of the few good Germans schools in my city.
