I'd need a good reason to learn another language.
That's right marra.That's the trick - interest will sharp wear away but if there's a specific reason or need (i.e. partner, work, desire to live in the country) then you'll practice even you can't be arsed.
There is good money in translation services marra.Passable Czech
I want to learn Italian. I am too lazy to actually do it though.
My Italian teacher had a doctorate in English from university in Milan.
She’d never been to England and copped off with some Scouse lad who took her back on easyJet to meet the folks.
She said she may as well have spent the weekend on the moon as she couldn’t understand a word anybody said.
Been off that project a few years and I started learning conversational Spanish this March as thats where we holiday and would eventually love to retire to . The grammar/conjugation looks brutal at first but stick with it and hopefully you will enjoy as much as I do . Still a massively long way to go and still need to think what I want to say in advance of saying (or trying to say it One problem I do have is that job for 10 years or more was part of a team rolling out SAP across our European sites so I always tried to pick up a few words even if it was basic hello , goodbye , yes no and so on and find my self when trying to string a Spanish sentence together, will drop an Italian word or a French one . Good example is "How much" Spanish is "Cuanto cuesta" and Italian is "Quanto costa" For online help I use spanishdict.com - if you type in a verb you will get alll the conjugate and most have audio as well
That's right marra.

I remember when I had all the money in the world. The first thing I bought was a top of the range sound system and a few guitars.I'll not be taking the pay cut
Lent me 30 quid I know you've got it.
I felt really odd, my kids chatting away in Cantonese when they were small when all I could do was swear in canto.quite weird a 4 year old being able to ask for an ice cream and what not to the locals when on holiday.
In quebec at the moment, the only time I wish I could speak fluent French.Quebec for work.
If so, how did you learn? Did you find it easy? Any recommended online courses etc?
Muchas Gracias!
What pissed me off trying to learn at school was all these grammar terms that I'd never used before and certainly hadn't needed to know to learn English. I did a little better with Michel Thomas courses, partly cos of this. I can speak a few basic lines in French Spanish and German, with a basic understanding of sentence structure. Spanish is probably my favourite to learn as they pronounce all their letters (stupid frogs) and pronounce them properly (bloody krauts).Top tip 1 , learn English grammar first.
Top tip 2 , get yourself a girlfriend/ boyfriend in said country.
I’ve been to French, Italian, Spanish, Turkish, Maltese and Arabic lessons and struggled to get past lesson one.
Conjugate the verb....eh, what the fuck does that mean ?
