Not difficult at all to learn another language.

Wish more of us were multilingual.. I'm fluent in Spanish, French, German and Arabic. More so cause of the military then anything else.

Yeah many of the kats I knew who spoke multiple languages were military kats who were stationed overseas for extended periods of time.

I myself can understand spanish far better than before because I have to stay in mexico for extended time for work.

But in saying all of this if you don't practice you will lose it.

Met a brotha in czech who was born and raised there. His mom was czech and his father was African.

Cool brotha he even has an organization for black folks in czech to fight racism.

Anyway dude graduated from school and went to china to go to college. He finished college and became the first and only black man working for a news channel in Shanghai. He would do segments and shyt on tv.

Anyway he is fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese. Plus fluent in german, french, english and czech.

He is now a consultant and just works for companies as a translator when they want to do business in china. Basically I met him through my company cause he was a consultant for us.

It was crazy as hell to watch him in person flip back and forth between english, manderin and czech. To top it off the brotha doesn't even speak english with a czech accent.

My mom was a high level Russian professor back in Cuba like they would use her for govt interactions with Soviets and she dont even get thru a regular TV show of Russian shyt anymore. But you can always get back on to it with a refresher course

What's funny to me tho is how difficult it is to learn Asian/Eurasian languages that's why this dude is special everybody agrees that Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Russian are the most difficult languages for westerners to get and dude knows them all :wow:

...dude makes me feel like I've wasted my life.:mjcry:

My Step-dad speaks 6x languages from learning Latin as a kid.
Even my younger siblings are fluent in French.
Do you know how hard it is watching them argue in French, whilst I sit there waiting for a word I recognise.
:lupe:
french is wack... anything else >>>>>>

language changes rapidly because of slang and pronunciation. especially in popular culture.

just watch American television from some decades back in English...
