Fullbuster Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 How many languages you speak? French, English, Spanish and I'm learning Portuguese. I could learn Japanese later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peludo Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 The language issue concerns me as a Spaniard. I understand the reasons of Raphael for not learning Spanish. Both languages seem similar. However, Spanish people who try to learn Portuguese (I have two friends that did it), always say it is a difficult language to learn. Sincerely, when I listen a Portuguese person I have always had dificulties to understand him, even although both seem pretty similar languages. Probably the grammar is nearly identical, but the accent makes it really really hard for us to understand you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard about him, I don't have idea why they're making a movie about an unknown artist, they should make a movie about Taylor Swift or Fifth Harmony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the grammar is nearly identical, but the accent makes it really really hard for us to understand you. Both languages clearly have a different prononciations, Spanish-speaking people speaks more clearly and use a more limited range of sounds. Learning both, I can tell they're pretty different in terms of prononciations. However it's not horribly difficult to surpass this kind of obstacles, they're not THAT different and I say that as a French. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 You're so smart Japanese seems cool, but must be so difficult to learn Thanks ^^" However I'll be satisfied only when I'll be fluent in Englsih (already the case), in Spanish (not far from it, jsut needs one more year) and Portuguese. Japanese is very different and quite difficult, but I intend to do it slowly and for the fun of having an Asian language in my skills, I love Japanese animes and I can use them to learn, but that will be for the fun and passion that's all so taht's fine if I'm never fluent ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 I don't get this, Spanish and Portuguese are so similar, although, I always thought that English was way easier to learn Well, Spanish is closer to French than English, and I still think English is easier as well That probably depends on the person, on many factors, and the interest of course. When you love a culture, a country, it'sm uch easier to learn, and there is A LOT of materials to learn English easily, much more than any other language. I like Spanish-speaking countries and cultures, but I'm not a fan so I didn't learn it with the same passion than English. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can learn a language much more easily when you love the country, that's why I think I can learn German pretty fast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mockingjay Raphael Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 What is your interest in Germany? German boys are so sexy, duh jk My friend went there last year and told me amazing things about this country, and since then, I'm trying to make a exchange there, but first, I need learn German Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peludo Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I don't get this, Spanish and Portuguese are so similar, although, I always thought that English was way easier to learn It is just an accent problem, when you use the language to talk directly. I do not know the Portuguese grammar, but I guess I would not have to much problems to learn it. But concerning accents, in Spain, we have many accents quite different between them. It is not the same to listen a Galician (northwest region of Spain, and people who have another co-official language called Galician, pretty similar in accent to Portuguese), than to listen an Andalusian, a person from Catalonia, or a person born in Madrid. Andalusian accent is quite peculiar and some Spanish people who did not born there have some difficulties to understand an Andalusian person in a direct conversation. The same happens with some Galician people. Sometimes you literally can not understand what they are saying even although they are using the same language. And the same applies to Portuguese. When I listen Brazilian or Portuguese people talking (many football players who play here, for example), I have real difficulties to understand them. As I said, just an accent issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peludo Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 And do you have any interest in learning Portuguese? Why not? Portuguese people are my neighbours My problem is to not have enough time. I would like to learn more languages, but I am always busy... Some years ago I started to learn French and German, but because of job I had to leave it Right now, I can remember nearly nothing about both languages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
