Thanks?



I agree. What you see happening all the time is 30 year olds picking up a language class, do some courses and they end up speaking a bit of Spanish. Because Spanish is easy for most Europeans/Americans and is an easy language grammatically.

I have a friend who speaks fluent Arabic (after studying it for five years and living in Egypt for two) and one of my brothers speaks Russian. The amount of work required to speak these languages even marginally well is something else entirely.

German is easily the most complex of the three grammatically.

Russian is an Indo European language, it's not so far removed from English and other European languages and there are large amounts of cognates you can easily use to give you a starting vocabulary of well over 1000 words. The alphabet can take some time to get used to but it's not as bad as you might think.

Actually I think you'd be right, there's a case system isn't there? I think the only time I've come across one of those was in Latin in school. I remember I got to probably A1 pushing A2 in Russian before I started losing interest. In the past my French was a good B1.

I think I'll just put my big fat head up my big fat arse then

Amazing how bilingualism is revered in the anglophone world but is so commonplace elsewhere. I'd suppose that all of us have learned at least a little Italian from following Juve.
