I'm fluent in English and Welsh and would love to learn a third.
For those of us with lots of free time this summer, shall we pick a language and help eachother self teach this language by providing support, material and encouragement? It could become an annual thing. The fluent speakers of said language on this forum would also help us im sure.
I want to learn Latin...but we all know I wont be able to xD
I'm tempted to take up a new language but should probably focus on my German and Russian for now... Particularly since the main two languages I would be interested in learning, Dutch and Polish, might confuse me because they're similar. I often wish I spoke Spanish and Hebrew too, might leave that until September though as my uni does free language courses
Will definitely be doing everything I can to improve my German and Russian this summer though, so challenge (partially) accepted
Check out a site called duolingo, it allows you to learn a language for free. It's still in beta format but is going live soon and I know French and Spanish are going to be up with Italian and mandarin coming later. I think German might be up too!

Marilyn I hope you don't mind me asking such a nosy question, but I looked at your signature and I wondered, how does one acquire a position at a foreign university? There is no government subsidy, is that right? I'm only a college student so I'm not well versed in how universities work. I'm just curious.
I'm already kind of fluent in French because my mum's French but I'd like to read some more books and watch some more movies so that I can become really comfortable! I'd like to learn Italian- thought it would be a good start because between English, French and lots musical Italian terms you can understand quite a lot
I'd love to learn Welsh or Dutch. I'm afraid I only speak English fluently but I have an A2 in French so I'd be able to help people with the basics. I'd love to brush up on my French again since I've let it slide over the last two years. Great idea OP .
Don't worry, it comes back to you pretty quick when you start using it again.

Sometimes I speak it (randomly, I don't know why!) or I hear it on TV and I'm surprised at how much I still understand. I think I just need to go back over the grammar a little and learn more vocab .

I'd love to try this too. I was going to do it this summer and use the materials from the Latin teaching page on my university website but procrastination is winning so far . Maybe we could try and encourage eachother .
I did the DELF B2 this last february I barely passed (58/100) but I had five months to prepare it and I started almost from scratch
I did the DELF B1 last year, but I didn't speak or use any french for a year now. Reading seems to be fine, but I worry a lot about the Speaking and Listening part :/
But thanks for letting me know makes me feel a bit bettter
Definitely! Took a year and a half of Spanish before transferring, but haven't used it since, so I've forgotten a lot of vocabulary. Plus, I'd like to learn Japanese without my parents telling me to focus on school stuff. I love this idea
