französische. :smile:

I wish I had some natives as teachers, but my school was crap and some teachers were even worse than me. :frown:

Lol, paddy it's time that you start learning German properly! :biggrin:

danke fuer die Hilfe :smile:

Natives are much better teachers, and you are fluent so you were probably better than all your teachers :smile:

I know, but it seems quite interesting and I'd seriously want to study it ab initio at uni ... only problem is, I can't spell it :redface:

Yeah, so I'm trying to give myself a head start on uni apps (and to have summink to write on my personal statement!) and gathering materials and stuff to learn the basics of the language and prove I have a full 'interest' in it... Hard work for lazy me :\

Yep, it's quite sad I'm planning for uni level when I haven't even started A Levels yet :redface:

But I love the task of learning new languages ... I'm worried about various factors though :s:

i'mnot surprised, it's so hard to learn a new language though! I'm not trying to turn you off it- good luck to you mate! But we are allhere for you (the ones who speak portuguese that is :smile:

)

Hehe, yeah thanks :hugs:

I really need to start actually getting to grips with the basics soon ... I'm thinking about possibly going to an evening class or getting a tutor to help me learn it ... I need lots of language related stuff to say on my PS as I've got nothing at the moment :frown:

why?

Basically, I dropped Spanish after GCSE level because I absolutely hated it and the teachers ... I used to love it but the teachers put me off. I'm worried they might say, 'Spanish is very similar to Portuguese, but you dropped Spanish, so that tells us something bad'

well just say, unfortunately my spanish teachers were not accomodating to my learning methods, and refused to help me further my level of spanish! I loved the language, and i regret dropping the subject, but circumstances dictated otherwise...

or something like that :smile:
