i dont have the disipline to learn languages online through those webssites and no money for tutors. But is there like a chatroom type thing where people teach each other spanish or any other language?

I want to be able to hear the words. What are some free websites, to learn diferent languages like spanish, chinese, japanese, and french

I am learning how to speak Spanish now in college (I took 2 years in High school.) I want to learn these languages in this order: French, Italian, and German. I actually wanted to learn French first but I figured Spanish was the best way to start. Should I learn Italian, then German, then French, as the the first 2 are more closely related to Spanish and English as well as being easier to pronounce? Or should I learn French next as that is the 2nd/or 3rd most popular spoken language in the world?

I was wondering this cause right now in School I'm taking Spanish and think this was better than the other languages we got to pick from cause this language comes more in handy.
Am i right?

I need a good expaination of the inperfect, preterit, future, subjuntive present and past, and also the imperative. If you can explain it all or show me a good web site, I will award you! Thank you
Hey, you are a little **** because I am learning five languages at the same time and my head hurts!

Im honduran. About 95 percent of my family including my parents both speak english and spanish... I grew up not really speaking spanish. When I was little my mom tried teaching me but when I would go to school It seemed like I would get confused between the two languages english and spanish. So Teachers told my mom that I had a speech problem. So long story short in order to prevent problems in the future for me My parents just taught me english, never to really learn spanish again.

I am 20 years old now. If I hear a spanish person talking or when my parents talk in spanish I pretty much know exactly what they are saying. Most times I can repeat back in english word from word what I just heard in spanish. & Sometimes I get confused or thrown of by a certain word but I'm always on point as far as what the topic was regarding. So I'm not dumbfounded at all as far as spanish is concerned. BUT the problem comes when I have to speak back! I get tongue tied, I have to double think how to conjugate this word or that one. If I want to know what something means in spanish i have to ask or look it up. When 9 times out of the 10 i heard the word million of times before... FUNNY THING IS, I can read and write spanish(writing is not soo so perfect) but everything in spanish i perform so well in except speaking it. I guess its because i started learning through hearing and years ago when i got serious about it I started reading it. Then in highschool i took a spanish class for about three years where i learned more and also wrote in spanish...... I tried getting my parents to help, but sometimes my mom is impatient when i ask what this and that means. And she talks spanish to me because its something we are so use to doing. My Dad never speaks spanish, even in Honduras. Because he grew up on an Island where they only spoke english, and just recently he started speaking spanish often because of where he works but i think he prefers english better..... So right now its only me teaching myself, my only sources that I have is hearing others when they speak and an online translator. So I was wondering what can I do, to perfect at it speaking wise?? Thank You

I'm going to a new school that teaches you either Spanish or French starting in middle school to high school for half of each school year. The other half of the year is Gym. I chose to learn Spanish. But I also wanna learn Japanese outside school at home. Does this sound like a good idea to learn the two languages at the same time or should I wait?

I want to learn a language in college, but Spanish just feels awkward on my tongue. Maybe it's the rs or something, I'm not sure. Butbi believe Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and French Are all similar?
I also am interested in study abroad and it would be cool to go to a country where I know the language.
I plan on majoring in psychology, minoring in pre-med (and maybe a language) are there any foreign universities known for those things?
I plan on becoming a psychiatrist, by the way, which is why I'm majoring in psych rather than something medical. I want to be well rounded, I desire to learn many things rather than being shallow, uninformed, inexperienced, and one dimensional, and this is the bare minimum of that. I didn't have a problem memorizing Spanish, just the dialect felt awkward to me when I tried to speak it. German is interesting, as I am mostly German myself. I find Russian and Arabic beautiful but I'm not sure that those are places I want to visit, and Russian is one of the hardest languages for English speakers to learn.

First... I been learning Spanish for about 10 months now at home by myself, using websites such as spanishdict.com and other learning sites and chatting to native speakers, eventhough I understand the grammar, I somethimes seem to forget my words, and need to look at the dictionary everytime I read or chat with a spanish speaker, how can I really improve my spanish?
secondly, I have an interest in learning another language, I learnt French and German in highschool, and only remember a little of the basics, and would like to try learning these languages, is it possible for me to re-learn these languages again? without confusing or damaging my spanish? how could I plan learning for one of these languages and carry on learning spanish?

Do we always study Spanish at school, or we'll choose which language to study. I'm moving to the US, and I'm 16 ( so that I'll be in a high school). In my country, we only study English as foreign language. So I have no idea about any other languages, like Spanish or Chinese... So what should I do? Can you suggest some good websites that teach Spanish for free? Thank you guys so much!

I see a lot of ads for Rosetta Stone. I saw another product online called Rocket Languages, I think. There is always Berlitz...

The languages I'd like to learn are:

German
Latin
Russian
Spanish
Italian
Korean
Japanese
Dutch

and any others I can. So any help would be appreciated as to where I can learn it online, or where I can download softwear. Oh, and is Rosetta Stone or Primsleur any good?

Is rosetta stone really worth it?? I am desperate to learn spanish at any cost.
I have 8-10months time and i can give everyday 1-2hours. :/

Or is there any other software or book also to learn it faster?
@Joshh

Are you even comfortable to converse in these mentioned languages?

Background: I am Filipino. English is my second language I studied it since nursery.

I have been learning French for 4 years now and I think that's it's about time to start learning another one. I like all these languages. Mandarin I think will be a strong point for me in the future if I master this language but I dont have too much passion and interest for China. Probably just for the language and the tones. It's like a song to the ears. I know it's very difficult and so I must take it seriously. However, I have always wanted to learn another European language. I have a HUGE passion in Europe. Europe is my dream and I hope that I get to live there one day. France is my love. I think it would be an advantage to learn Spanish because it is widely spoken. However, German is also an advantage business-wise? What do you think? Im really torn. I want to choose the best one. My heart is with Europe (Spanish vs German) but I think it would be wise to learn Mandarin... So what is the next step? Help me please!

I want to learn both languages, but I must learn but one for now, so which one would be the best one to learn first?

American Sign Language (ASL)
I have been study Spanish little more deeper and I start to realize Spanish's grammar is almost or some similar as (ASL)'s grammar.
My point is those people who speak Spanish and those Deaf people in American don't live together and how in the world did Spanish and (ASL) grammar is almost so similar?
Why is that? or How did that happened?
To let you know that I am Deaf and my first language is (ASL).

Thanks.
@ Californiamama: You said it true, but the question how did in the world Mexician or Spain get almost same as in ASL?
I ask because ASL is in America and those people speak Spanish don't know Sign Language and how in the world we almost have same grammar?
@ JH ♥ ASL * 愛万多* Happy A: Yes, I know ASL history, but how did Spanish get so similar with ASL? And yes ASL is coming from French.
And I am thinking that English language is not pure language? Because those many other countries are so smiliar and how in the world did ASL are so similar like their languages?
Sorry, folks, I should have write English proper, but my mind is on ASL now.

Meaning, i began learning french freshman year (im a senior now)
in junior year i began learning spanish
is that enough time between the languages?
how long should i wait to learn my next language?

(i guess im referring to mixing the languages...i heard that waiting a few years between each helps with that)

I bought Fluenz recently and I've been very adamant about becoming fluent in Spanish. I took three years of Spanish in high school, but I wasn't very serious about it then (plus I graduated more than five years ago and have scarcely used any Spanish). I feel like the Fluenz lessons are bringing back some old memories of vocabulary words so I hope this will make my transition easier.

I know that everyone is different when it comes to learning a new language but lets say that someone dedicates at least a half hour a day to practice, has a basic foundation of vocabulary words AND has the resources to practice the language on people, how long would you estimate that person (me) could potentially become fluent in Spanish?

Here is the Fluenz website for those unfamiliar with the program: http://fluenz.com/languages/spanish/learn-spanish/

today at lunch these spanish people kept looking at me and than talking in Spanish and making faces at me
obviously I'm Caucasian and don't know a word of spanish, but i just think people who talk in other languages in front of a person who cannot understand is just so rude.

If english is the universal language, is it really necessary to learn another languages, like spanish?

I just want to learn spanish and italian since i'm mexican and italian (also black). I heard that spanish and italian are almost the same, is that true? Also it would really be beneficial to me if was to speak these languages. Which one should I learn first? Thanks.

I am currently studying spanish portuguese and italian language, aswell as culture, politics, history and litreature.

I was wondering , apart from teaching, what jobs would i be suited to? Would being fluent in all 3 languages be an advantage for any particular job/ attractive to a certain type of emplpyer?

So I'm starting on a dual French and Spanish degree course at Leeds University this September and really don't know what to expect.
I love languages and so far I have always got A's and A*'s but I was a little freaked out when I saw all the reading lists and heard that particularly the Spanish course is fully communicated in Spanish

I'm willing to put the work in and I naturally do work at home in both languages on a daily basis but it just seems very scary :/

Any advice/tips or just reassurance would be appreciated!

I'm looking for someone who can assist me online and/or through skype. I'd also like to find a database of individuals that could teach me other languages such as Spanish, Italian, German, etc.

What kind of job could i get from a BA in spanish, portuguese and italian?

Hi, i'm from Argentina (a South America country, not Mexico) and i want to improve my English skills and what's better than talking with a real American? I handle Skype but i don't have any problem using another programme to communicate.
The deal it's something like this: talk in english about whatever, if you want to know about my culture, my way of living, whatever, i don't have any problems, i'm doing this because i want to enter the English Translator university the next year and one of the best ways is this.
Maybe you are interest on talking Spanish too and we can talk in both languages, you help me, i help you. I think it's a win win situation
Thanks all to read the thread, and if you have any doubt, just send me a message
Thanks a lot!

I want to learn spanish.i love langu. I want learn all languages in the all over world
