  • It largely depends on the use you are planning to do of that language and the use you did of your own.
    For somebody with a speech pet peeve the most difficult part might be pronunciation. The whole fonetic part. Spelling the words out right. I didn't actually learn the language, I simply absorbed speech patterns and styles from music/movies/books I mix up randomly.
    This "actually" repeating thing, at the beginning of most sentences, for example, got stuck in my mind after watching a particular american dad episode involving Jeff, Stan's daughter stony boyfriend. The "for example" got stuck in my mouth after watching Hermione saying it in Harry Potter. I started using the "whole thing" expression after watching a documentary about the Manson family. I was like: Right on! All through the documentary. :) I learned more from movies and tvshows than from school. The hardest part was.. retrieving the files. Not really.

    • No sorry just English. :)

      It would be a lot easier if I knew someone who knew whatever language I wanted to learn so I can actually use it in real life.
