Being the language lovers that we are... A place to talk about, or write in languages other than Spanish and English.

Other languages you would like to learn
Are there any other languages you would like to learn, besides Spanish?

I would like to learn Hindi, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Danish, Italian, Portuguese, and German.

;D

Re: Other languages you would like to learn
I would probably continue studying German, and after that, Italian/French/Dutch/Portuguese, Japanese would also be interesting, and I'm considering one of the native languages of Mexico like Otomí or Nahuatl. But realistically, I'm not going to have time to dedicate to all of them, so I just keep plugging away at German for the time being.

Why do you need to learn Italian? Do you have an Italian gf? Actually if you already know Spanish you have a 50% off coupon for Italian ;D

Actually, I want to read Dante's Divine Comedy in the original Italian at some point in the future. And it's just such a cool language.

Quizá sea muy difícil lograr hablar un idioma perfectamente bien. De hecho algunos dirían que ni hablamos nuestra lengua materna al 100%. Sin embargo, creo que es una buena meta tener porque te impulsa a seguir estudiando y mejorando tu manejo del idioma. Suerte!

Soll ich auch ein Foro auf Deutsch öffnen? ;D

En este momento, estudio el español y el aleman en el colegio. El año proximo puede estudiar sólo una idioma, y me gusta los dos, así que tuve que tomar una decisión muy dificil. He decido estudiar el aleman, pero no quiero olvidar español. Espero que pueda practicarlo con mi novia y en este sitio web. Un día voy a hablar bien aleman y español. Quisiera hablar el francés también.

Hola bleak,

Me da mucho gusto que te gusten los idiomas. También a mí me encantan, y si pudiera estudiaría muchos idiomas. He estudiado español y un poco de alemán, y sé unas cuantas palabras en francés.

Haces bien en seguir practicando español para que no se te olvide.

Und mein Spanisch ist besser als mein Deutsch. Wenn du willst, kanst du auf Deutsch in dieser Forum schreiben, und wenn mehr Leute auch auf Deutsch schreiben, dann werde ich einen Forum dafur machen. Das hätte ich zehr gerne. Ich möchte nicht mein Deutsch vergessen.

Si quieres corregir mi alemán, por favor hazlo.

The main conditions that make the subjunctive kick in are:

Uncertainty:
No estoy seguro que venga - I'm not sure she'll get here.

A Wish:
Quisiera que fueras conmigo - I wish you'd go with me

An Emotion:
Me gusta que que hables español - I like the fact that you speak Spanish.

Certain impersonal expressions:
Es dudoso que vengo - It's doubtful that he will come.
Ojalá que venga - Hopefully he will come.

A Doubt
Dudo que venga - I doubt he'll come.

A Request
Te pido que vengas a la casa - I'd like to ask you to come to the house.

I figure that being able to speak English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and brush up a little on my Carribean patua, would allow me to converse with nearly anyone in the Americas.
