What languages are you learning/improving ?

[Dr Deacon]

Our Latin lessons were always a bit of classic history too; especially the nice teacher we had was easily distracted from grammar, etc. when you asked him a question about the Roman state or military.
Mr. Wagner was a good guy. RIP now.

Light bulb moment - one of the best words I learned was "polyspaston", Latin for a crane (block and tackle)

German, well I did "study" it in school but I was lazy n did bribe the teacher to get good grades. It worked n she liked it.

Sounds Greek, but the Romans have inherited Greek terms in their language. I'd expect it would start with 'multi'

I can barely remember anything anymore it's 50 years ago, and I didn't study further on a university.
I.e. medicine, for this field of study Latin is or was mandatory in Germany.; others maybe too.
I know though the first sentences in our book 'Fundamentum Latinum' were 'porta crepat' and 'puella lacrimat' (the door creeps and the girl cries)
Don't know why the hell I know exactly these both sentences after all this time.

Yes, Romans pinched a lot of stuff from the ancient Greeks.
Puella est in horto and Grumio est coquus stand out for me 🤣

Kak dela? Kak vas zavyt? Chto eta?

I spent 6 mo learning Russian in my mid 20s. I enjoyed the language. But difficult to find ppl to speak it with and I did use Skype but with time zones different I basically had to sleep during the day to speak to them in their schedule and that wasn’t working out. But in 3 hrs I learned the Cyrillic alphabet. So I was doing ok. But books (knigi) are very formal in comparison to dialog used.

My mother tongues are Arabic (dialect and formal) / French, and I'm trying to improve my English in some terms like politics, judicial.. Ect. (please suggest if you know any)
And sometimes I have that adrenaline kick and start learning random languages like Mandarin and German (learn a bit in highschool) instead of focusing on my English 🤷🏻‍♀️
what's your current interest languages?

I know 4 but can read in 6. The secret is to learn the etymology of words. Then you are able to apply them across many lanuages as long as the writing is worded in the English form. Because I can't read Aramaic writings but if it's written in English form then I can read and translate it.

 

[Tinkle_Star]

I really had a burning desire to learn Japanese back when I was into manga and my bf was into Bonsai…I was actually getting good at reading some of it…now I‘m interested in German…I also had a fleeting interest in learning Irish Gaelic (or The Eirse, as me Grandfather’s family called it), but there’s just to many goddamn consonants to make an ounce of sense….I think I’ll go back to Japanese.
