Hello Friends in unilang, it's a pleasure to meet you guys!
I know it's an old problem that some people might encounter when they decide to learn a new language. But I do have some troubles in the process.
---------------------------------
[b]Here's my personal info:[/b]
I learned German in my freshmen year in college for about one and half month. At first I found it kind of interesting and fun to learn as its regular pronunciation and similarities to English. As time past by, the problem emerged: I was not so used to the case system and complicated inflections even if I tried to adapt to it, later I realized that it's a common linguistic phenomenon in Indo-Euro languages. Then I learned off and on, later I decided to quit which was not such a wise decision...
And during the summer vacation, I picked up some Spanish as I was crazy about the music of the Mexican duo band [i]Sin Bandera[/i], which by the way is awesome! I learned some basic pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary and I felt that Spanish was easier than German for it has only 2 noun genders and most of them are regular, and it's also easy to pronounce. Maybe the major problem is the verb inflection compared to German whose verb inflection is more regular.
I've never tried French yet and I know that French is not so easy to learn as its distinct phonology and grammatical exceptions. But I do enjoy listening to it.
As for Italian, to be honest, I'm obsessed with its pronunciation. So is Russian though it's much more harder...
And I'm also interested in learning some other languages as well, such as Dutch, Swedish and Greek...
---------------------------------
[b]Questions:
What am I supposed to do? And how to keep persistency during the learning process?[/b]
- [i][b]Should I...?[/b][/i]
01. pick German up again as Germany's economic status and beautiful landscapes in Germany, Austria and Switzerland?
02. continue to learn Spanish as its rising popularity and large Spanish-speaking population?
03. challenge myself to learn French as its global prestige and international status?
04. learn Italian or Russian just because their pronunciations?
05. take a chance to learn Dutch or Swedish for that both Netherlands and Sweden boast high living standards and beautiful landscapes?
- [i][b]What keeps you persistent during the learning process? What's your biggest motivation?[/b][/i]
---------------------------------
[b]Appreciate any suggestions and opinions to [i]any [/i]questions:)[/b]
