I am terrible at learning languages. In school I took Japanese and French and did terribly. At university I took Italian for a semester. I failed that too.Since then I have lived in two countries for a little while where I didn't speak the language. One was China. I had a tutor come teach me every week. It went ok. But not as good as my husband. But I could get by ordering food and getting directions. Now I am in Germany. It's funny, because at home we practice with each other, and I do fine. As soon as I have to speak to a German person, it's like I can't remember anything at all. I really want to learn another language, but it's like I'm missing the learn new language function in my brain.
I really want to be good at learning languages -- I hate reading translations, so I wish I could easily pick up any language. Translating Don Quixote for my Master's thesis has been a major pain. :/ I have no idea what I'm going to do when I get to writing my dissertation!

I know that;s how I learned kanji. Writing them out over and over every day on the station after work, waiting for my train...
