Lost In Xanadu Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 My dog understands what I'm saying, well most of the time. Does that count?I'm trying to improve my English here on this fine forum but it's harder to write in a foreign language than to speak.I find it easier to read Spanish than it is to listen to people speak it. The only benefit of writing is you can pause and think about it a little. Speaking is real time, and easy for me to screw up... but when speaking, it seems people usually are a little more understanding 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleRushmonkey Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 The problem with learning a second language is that it's a huge test to your ego: you speak poorly, make silly mistakes and are mocked by native speakers for a long time until you've learned a language properly. And usually the way you learn it isn't the way the natives speak it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost In Xanadu Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Have to share this story... I was in Boston on a dinner cruise. Our waitress was a beautiful African-American gal. This is how she introduced herself to us:"Hello, my name is Chandra, I am fluent in the Queen's English, and also... if need be... Ebonics." She was a whole lot of fun the entire night.

Pars123 Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 I've been obsessed with languages since I was little, and I earn my keep through them. Besides doing some Czech-English and Slovak-English translation, I'm a private, online teacher for the most part. For example, here are this afternoon's classes: 1. Advanced conversational French2. Latin IV (reading Virgil's Aeneid)3. Conversational Modern Greek4. Latin II (reading Caesar's De Bello Gallico) I teach other languages, and read novels in others for my personal enjoyment. I've been writing an intermediate Irish Gaelic reader for some time now, but I have no clue how or if I'll be able to publish it. I'm not well-rounded; my skills are intensely focused in this single area. Ask me to produce something in the kitchen besides a bowl of cereal? Deer in the headlights. Ask me to work a hammer or a screwdriver? Clueless.Ahhhh A Slavic Language, that's my area of expertise. That and Romance languages, I never bothered learning Latin or Greek. I've been reading David Copperfield in Polski and I'll say it's been a slow experience haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
