I'm honestly in awe at how well everyone can speak english when it's a second or third language for them. That just amused me though and had to be commented on.

I know it's quite remarkable how some people on this board can speak English even though they're not native speakers. I still need my dictionary now and then though, but if you try hard enough it's not that diffucult to learn a foreign language. I heard my brother speak french yesterday after he came back from Africa and he had been speaking french three months there, unbelievable!
My latest ex learned a good deal of Italian backpacking through Europe last year and a smattering of French and Spanish. I used to be able to understand Spanish, speaking it and understanding it is entirely different though.
I just never was able to fully grasp a different language myself. I never really "clicked" with one aside from english for some reason.

I'm hopeless with speaking languages aside from english. Reading and writing them on the other hand, I could learn in time with effort I think.

English isn't that hard to learn when you hear it all day on the TV, surf on the internet, listen to foreign music, play D&D, etc
.
I speak some French, Spanish, German, ancient Greek and Latin(?) aswell
, although Spanish and ancient Greek not very fluent
But I DON'T have a weapon that floates

I know how that is, I can curse and insult people in Spanish, other than that, I can say "cat" and "tall".
I just got a lot of practice with those things in class with my teacher. The lady was useless, like a walking paperweight.

Neither do I, that would be awesome though.
I suppose that does make sense, if your surrounded by a language you embrace it faster, and english is everywhere.
