I find it very interesting. Would you mind to tell me at what age do you start learning the three languages? Do you think that students are fluent in all of them at an early age? Are the regional languages 'dialects" from Hindi or independent languages? Are you able to study any of those regional languages even if you are in another region?

Forgive me my curiosity. Now I'm studying sociolinguistics as a subject and I find the coexistence of three languages fascinating (and I know almost nothing about India ). Thank you.

si. con el placer... !!!
In India, we start to learn languages at age 6 in schools. As you know,child can learn mothertongue at his home, friends, parents, surroundings. books in mother- tongue are easily available in each country.
unfortunately, all regional languages in india has separate orthography and modes of writing. although each language is rich of big name authors, poets, books etc.
lots of people from India learn another regional language. but all know hindi [national language] and english.
we are good at english because we were colony of England. we got freedom in 1947.
so English language and Cricket are gifts from British we got........!!!
[similarly, spanish/ portuguese people ruled over latin amerca , mexixo... and French - africa ]
Not much awareness in India about other languages i,e,spanish german italian. etc.
but I find spanish [and italian, portuguese] is very much similar to hindi and marathi.... not orthography.. but mode of grammar.
e.g. indirect object use before some verbs... adjective = noun = gender matching... reflexive verbs/ pronouns. .....!!!



thanks alot jessica .... i will take your help in chinese.
thanks irmamar --- for taking curiosity...
Hasta pronto.

Corrections are good. Although I think that a lot of corrections in a text don't help a lot. A few corrections are more effective (in my opinion ).

sí, tienes razón. pero no estoy con fluidez en español. Empecé a aprender español hace 5 meses...No tengo mucho tiempo debido a mi oficina...Lo mejor es que estoy soltero todavía. por tanto puedo dar el tiempo suficiente para español y otros idiomas... para mí, el español es más fácil que el francés. dos cosas son importantes - conjugación de verbos para cada pronombre personal y el subjuntivo.....!! pero voy a hacer ... en efecto, debo.
