Quote from: Amsel on April 01, 2013, 08:41:01 PMI'm only fluent in English.I can understand written French to some degree, because I took several years of it in school, but oh gods don't ask me to write it or speak it....Right now I'm trying to learn Norwegian. I can understand some spoken Norwegian, and speak it a little, but reading and writing is incredibly hard because I haven't done much of that. So, I'm going to have to concentrate on that more, now. Learning things takes much more time than I really have available, but I'm trying.Sorry to be nosy, but why do you want to learn norwegian? I think Norwegian can be quite difficult to learn as the grammar is built differently from english. My partner is english and he struggels to learn. But I think he would have a hard time with any new language, some people have more talent for languages.

While it's quite different from modern English, I find that in many ways Norwegian shares similarities with Middle English (the medieval form of English), which I've studied in the past. Grammar/sentence structure... Even vocabulary. Sometimes I'll be watching a Norwegian film or something and hear a word that I can recognize, not because I've ever heard it in the context of learning Norwegian, but because I recognize it from Middle English.
EnglishDecent enough Spanish. I took Spanish 6th-12th grade and it still didn't stick the best. I remember it if I use it a lot.Some Japanese. Two college years of full immersion and I was better at this than Spanish.A few phrases of Cantonese. I only took a few lessons with the ten day program on cd and it wasn't working for me because it was difficult to tell things like if they were using a "n" or a "m" in some of the words and you can't ask a cd questions like you can in class.
