    Well, German for the 4th year now, and I absolutly ADORE it! It's great! just...woa
    I was forced to take english last year, because English is obligatory. Unbelievably boring class.-for me-
    ANd I took Latin 2 years, but my teacher was so useless, and I switched for ancient Greek, and I love it...

    And of course French.

    to all my fellow german studiers - na klar, deutsch ist schwierig! aber wunderschoen :)


    i took latin in high school and absolutely abhorred it. hatred. made me want to stab myself in the eyes. i got to college thinking i'd just take german to fulfil requirements, but fell in love and realized it wasn't that i hated learning languages, it was that i hated latin! haha :) i majored in it, and am in my fourth year currently. i took spanish last semester, it was so easy comparatively.

    I studied French all four years of high school. I enjoyed it a lot, but I stopped taking it after my first year of college because I had fulfilled my requirements. I hadn't stopped taking it.

    I took a french class in 8th grade, 1 semester of spanish in college. Couldn't speak a conversation in either language now. My ex lived in South Korea and had taught our oldest a song and couple simple phrases in Korean when she was younger.
    My brother is in the military and his wife & kids travel the world with him. Whn my niece was learning to talk when they lived in Turkey. She is now 9 12 and can speak several different languages...she picks up new languages better then her dad.

    Only language I have learned for all 4 years of High School was Spanish, in which I now read, speak, and write better than most native speakers.

    I learned English through 3 years of grade school, and also know it superbly...

    Life has tought me Russian and Hebrew... and I am also very fluent in them.
