Comments on: Learning a foreign language: Which should I choose? http://xatal.com/high-school/learning-a-foreign-language/ Bringing you safely through high school and into college Wed, 28 Jul 2010 07:03:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Victoria@best way to learn spanish http://xatal.com/high-school/learning-a-foreign-language/comment-page-1/#comment-3976 Victoria@best way to learn spanish Thu, 22 Jul 2010 21:15:56 +0000 http://xatal.com/?p=468#comment-3976 I think learning Spanish makes a lot of sense. Hey, I mean it has more native speakers worldwide than English does! And considering that it is of immediate use as it enables especially people in the US to come in contact with their neighbors more easily, Spanish would definitely get my vote there.

If you want to travel to France, learn French. Or learn Russian if traveling to Russia. These are excellent languages to learn. I guess it would depend on what you are doing at the time.

Latin, German and Greek followed, but French has a certain romance to it. Thanks for the article! I’ve always been partial to French since I started learning it in 1st grade.

I took up spanish language in high school and didn't do that well in it actually, i didn't even pass the course! But i did walk away with some basic and general spanish words that can get me by if need be? I think I will take a course again and this time, take it more serious and try to extend my current knowledge of the spanish language. Thanks for sharing! Hi, I like this topic.

If you've begun learning a language in primary school, it often happens that it is infinitely easier for you to learn as a teenager. Neuroscientists have discovered that until around the age of 8 or 9, or brains are still developing infrastructure to support language learning. If you have started learning a language before age 9, you have effectively hardwired your brain for success in it - don’t underestimate this value!

Spanish people are passionate, and their women for me is so charming and wonderful. We have a few Spanish lessons in college but it ain't enough for me to speak straight. I learned some phrases through the internet, yet still, I ain't got the confidence to speak to a native. I feel so blessed to be shared the golden advice my friend told me. She is living in Spain for only 6 months, and when she came home for a vacation, she really speaks like a native. But... she told me that she speaks a native before going to Spain and she told me how. All I can say is thank you to her. I checked out her <a href="http://howtospeakspanish.us/" rel="nofollow">technique</a> and its true and my accent became irresistible to natives. Right now, I have a Spanish girlfriend in my arms and we are having a passionate good time. I always wanted to learn Spanish because my favorite film director is Luis Buñuel.

It's the most romantic language in the world! =) Maybe learning Mandarin, Japanese, and French is okay as well. But you're right, it really depends on the culture that appeals most to you. I guess you've been acquainted with the beautiful German culture, that's why you like to learn their language. But sometimes, you can't really just follow what you want and sometimes, you NEED to study the language you need to study. Those who will travel or study to a Spanish-speaking country, for instance, will have no choice but to learn at least a little of the Spanish language. So choosing the language to learn will not only depend on what your heart desires, but what your brain dictates also. Well personally, I like to learn how to speak Spanish.
