Taeryyn I am definitely neither of those, either. I've got English down, and French for the most part. Next: ...I'm not sure. EMM. What do you speak again? Serbian? Yupyupyup. ...It could be classified as ex-Yugoslaving because the Montenegros, Croatians and Bosnians speak it, only some words are different 'n stuff.

You definitely seem to be doing fine with French. I've only noticed very minor things, but nothing that makes it even remotely difficult to understand you.
Once you have French down, could always try Spanish if you're interested. I haven't done much more than study it on my own casually, but the similarities between it and French are striking.
I've always wanted to learn Finnish but there aren't quite as many resources for it. >_> And it's so unlike anything else I've studied.

emmmahy Yupyupyup. ...It could be classified as ex-Yugoslaving because the Montenegros, Croatians and Bosnians speak it, only some words are different 'n stuff. I haven't the first clue how to pronounce anything in your language, and have never heard it spoken aloud. x3 Looks interesting though.

Thank you. biggrin I'm hoping to get fluent eventually. For now, I'm still using a dictionary for some words, and I still need conjugation help, but I've been improving.
I actually thought of learning spanish, because some of my friends have taken it and I noticed the similarities as well. smile Although, what I really want to learn is German. Who knows, I'll just stick to French for now. xD This is my sixth year learning french in school. It's hard to learn the language when you're not speaking it all the time.
Huh. That would be cool. biggrin One of the weird ones I'd like to learn is Russian.

It is really, really hard to speak it properly when you don't use it daily. I did immersion after highschool, and although that helped me immensely with grammar and technical pronounciation, it did nothing for my accent or for idioms. You don't learn how native Francophones speak by being in immersion with a bunch of other English people speaking French.
(I would assume it's the same with other languages, and also would vary depending on *how* you learn.)
Even since I started working here, I've learned so much. I was technically fluent when I finished my immersion program, but only on paper.

Seems like so many other cultures learn English, but most English people don't really make an effort to learn anything in other languages. sweatdrop Anywho, I'm off to Nova Scotia. >w< Going home to visit my family for Christmas. Talk to you guys later!

And for the experience. smile And have fun in Nova Scotia! Merry Cristmas. biggrin

Conjugation is the changing of verbs (or is it just words in general?) into different forms and tenses, Kusa xp
I know this for my learnings =x

Yeah, conjugation is used for the changing of verbs into things like past tense, or furutre tense. eg. "I walk the dog" becomes "I walked the dog."
