Trying to pick a second language?

Question

I'm in Spanish but I've never been very good at it. So I'm trying to find a language that may be a little easier for me. If any one can relate any advice would be great.

Answer 1

French is VERY fun! :)

many words are similar to english, and having taken spanish already, you'll probably understand it more. (many french words are also similar to spanish words.) french is a beautiful language. though the accent is hard to master in the beggining, if you keep at it, you will sound very impressive.  

Answer 2

french it's a lot like english

Answer 3

I've never had a year of Spanish, but I did have 7 years of French. I think French is harder than Spanish, but German is harder than both. It really depends on what kind of language you want to learn. Do you want to learn a language similar to English, or very different from English?

Close to English: Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, German, and Dutch.

Very Different from English: Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

I would choose something in the middle, like Greek. It has a different alphabet, but it is very easy to learn (only 24 letters). Also, many words we use in English come from Greek. Like the word "microscope".

Micro - small

Scope - to see

It's your choice though, and there are many more interesting and unique languages besides what I've listed. Good luck with whichever language you choose to learn and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, you could download some phrases and vocab words from http://www.byki.com/

You will be able to hear the words from a native speaker, this way maybe you could find the language you would most like to learn.

Answer 5
