I'm semi-fluent in Latin. I can't really speak it very well, though. I'd like to learn Greek and/or Italian as well.

Sadly:No not yet

I've been learning Japanese recently.I've gotten some books and learned quite a few words and phrases. I want to learn Russian,Italian,Spanish, and Thai after that.

How did you learn and did it take a long time to learn all of those languages? Because I feel like Japanese is taking forever to learn. XD

I do pimsluer for each one, and than find friends who speak it and talk to them alot, and listen to alot of music and watch movies in that language.
Takes about 3-6 months to learn to speak a language fluently if you just study for an hour a day every day and do what I said.
The hard part is not forgetting it later. You got to keep listening to music in it every now and than, and talking to people in it.

I'm fluent in English and German. I've got a tiny bit of Spanish and French floating around in my head too, but I couldn't get very far if I found myself in their respective countries so they don't count. :P

English, Spanish, Shona - Fluently

French - Conversationally

Russian, Latin - Basic

Fluently means I can write essays in the language and speak about higher level topics. Conversationally means that if I've heard you talk about it, I can talk about it. I can't talk about particle physics in the language, but general conversation topics are no problem. Basic means that I know enough to get around, and start basic (butchered) conversations.

I just want to point out that adding "señor" at the end of that phrase is completely unnecessary. :P

I'm taking French in college... but I'm starting to get irritated by the rote memorisation of vocabulary and grammar. I'm not sure I'll continue after this quarter (five quarters thus far).

I can't write well in any of the languages I learn. I learn them stricktly to be able to speak them, I have no need to write an essay in Italian, but I never know when I'll meet a pretty Italian exchange student who finds my sense of humor irresistable and my language skills in her native tounge impressive.

I'm very impressed if this is true :D Do you do this just for fun or are you going into a career that involves language? I'm currently studying German and it's ok... not so much verbally but I can read children's chaperbooks and I've written some funny German stories. :P

Thank you! :) I've heard about pimsleur but I heard it costs alot so that sorta made me turn off from it. I'll try it when I can or try to find someway to get it cheaper. I'm surprised it doesn't take longer than 6 months, I was prepared to study it for for about 5 years. XD Thank you again for your advice! :)

lol, by write an essay I meant your skills in that language are so proficient that you can articulate with essay levels of conciseness. But I can write essays in all my fluent languages. In fact my method of learning languages starts through writing then verbal. I remember learning English by getting a book and looking up words in the dictionary. In the end, it made me more articulate and gave me a better understanding of all the English grammatical laws but at the same time, I suffered when it came to colloquial speak. A lot of expressions fly over my head, and usually when someone uses a new expression, it takes me a while to realize it because I first try to interpret it literally :P

Pimsluer only takes 3-4 months, and it will allow you to have conversations about almost any common subject. IMO its the best way to learn to speak a language. Mos def worth the money.

Depends on how committed you are in learning.You gotta practice every day. Watch movies,read books,signs,ad-boards,talk to others etc. Some languages are similar so it becomes easier.
