Learning a language

You're learning it and reading stuff.
So it should fit, IMO.
And you may "play" Rosetta Stone.

I'm learning Spanish.
I would learn Hebrew, but I can't pronounce it because of the lack of vowels.
After I learn Spanish I want to learn Mandarin chinese. Or Cantonese.

Is it really that hard to learn Chinese?

Discuss learning languages. (I hope this fits.)

Re: Learning a language

Hi  big_smile

I learn 2 languages: English and French
French was really easy for me to learn, because I started it when I was very young.
English isn't that easy, but since I joined the english scratch forums, I learned a lot! (thank you, english people)
I'd like to learn as many languages as possible, because it's very useful!
I'd like to learn spanish, russian, or chinese  big_smile

Discuss learning languages. (I hope this fits.)

Hebrew has vowels, but most stuff isn't written with them. It's just a different type of language.
Here's an example. "Shalom" means "hello". Without vowels: שלום. With: שָלוֹם. (You may want to zoom in to see, because it doesn't show so well in small fonts.) I wrote it using a program I'm developing, called TypeR.

That's why TypeR has a big font.  tongue
