I myself know quite a bit of German; one day hoping to be fluent fully.
Anyone else?
I am planning on learning Chinese, Korean, Russian, Japanese, German, and French over the next decade…
Do you know any part of a second language now?
I know quite a bit of French. And learning a new language is very easy to me… I recently realized how easy it was when I looked at Chinese words.
I studied German, too, when I was young, but forgot almost all.
I could speak Spanish when I was traveling in central America, but I forgot most of it.
But I still know a few human languages and a few computer languages.
Other than that, I studied Hieroglyph, Hebrew, Polynesian, and some other languages a bit, and I can read and write hundreds of Chinese Characters.
Of all languages, I think learning computer languages, especially machine code was very useful in learning my own stupid tendencies.
The more rigid and restrictive the language is, the more we have to be aware and creative in expressing/materializing the image/thought we hold.
But judging from the fact that many programmers are as irrational/illogical as general public when it come to thinking generic matters, learning computer language doesn’t necessarily assure development of logical thinking ability/attitude, I guess.
Not a chance in hell dude. Do you have any idea how hard it is to learn Chinese? Christ…Chinese alone will take the next decade.
I know a bit of German as well, and hope to learn it soon.
I am bilingual being fluent in french, and know a fair bit of spanish.
Actually one of my life goals is to learn all the major languages.
Go for it Wonderer.
The languages I have chosen are based off of their world economies–for a reason.
(And Chinese is pretty easy–for me at least. 
)
If you become fluent in Chinese, that is not having to think about translations while speaking/listening, I will be amazed. So will any employer.
Words are like glass Eclipse. The word-content is easy to see if you figure it out. Words are symbols for deeply-ingrained, physical-mental concepts.
Besides English, I can speak French pretty well…

The speaking part is easy. The reading and writing part is going to take a very long time (Chinese).
I want the future to come so I can just “upload” different languages into my brain.
Can anyone teach me how to speak French? Or…how did everyone learn it?
My mother tongue is Russian and we speak that at home with my parents, and I also speak English, Greek and Turkish fluently
So, bist Du ein Russischer, stoned_kazak?
If only Chinese could be written in the Latin alphabet (I mean fully, like Vietnamese).
I learned the bulk of my French at school in my ‘GCSE/O-level grade’ class, at Secondary school: although my parents did speak French Patois (broken French) to us, from birth.
I think the easiest way to learn French/any language as an adult would be to learn useful phrases first, and then start linking them into sentences using the syntax parameters of the language - I did this with Spanish when I went to Barcelona for the first time, and spoke just enough of the language to get by on…
D’où venez-vous ?
