Add Portuguese to thal list as well, but on my list to learn is Japanese my uncle goes to Japan all the time on business trips and once in a while he also lands in TO. The last time my uncle came here we took off for a Sushi bar and he ordered the whole meal in Japanese the guy who took our order was very impressed by my uncle's Japanese.
Laterz :)

Yea, me too. I wish I didn't have to read the subtitles in kung fu flicks (I miss all the action) and when shopping at all the chinese stores, they always ask me in what I want in chinese and I can't answer, so they treat me like a retard. :lol:

I'd love to learn Japanese, I've always had a massive respect for the true Samurai way of life.
And yes, Spanish is quite close to French with a few glaring exceptions. One that comes to mind is "un autre" which means "one more" or "another", but in Spanish it's "uno mas".
I was actually told by one of the security guars where we were staying in the Dominican that a LOT of people in the RD speak French as it's so easy for them to learn.

Dan ill have to look through my emails, see if i still have some of the contacts...
for parkour? in terms of building ands stuff to jump off...Shanghai would be awsome...
Im really leaning towards spanish, everyone said that once you learn that, other languages are easier to learn...
but jap holds a special place in my heart...
Raine i know what your talking about when people say things...super annoying

健康な日本語は1 つが考える程に堅くない実際にあることを。私は私の友人を離れてそれを学んでいるが、完全に言われていたことが私に理解するために私に3 年を取った。得ればそれを聞く、英国の(日本の) 形態の単語はより頻繁に日本の文書による形態の3 つの特性の形態を学んでいること意味を、後成している

I'm learning Japanese off my best friend and I got a keyboard in with a translate button feature from Japan, from my Oka-san ( mother ) there. I can tell you Portuguese and Japanese have very Similar words, and same meanings in the language.
Japanese, and russian are the main two lingos I want to learn followed by german and Italian.
I guess I should translate that for you ? :lol:
