Hello everyone,
I am a 22 year old American culinary student who has just discovered a new passion to learn languages. I unfortunately am only fluent in English however I can understand most Tagalog but I cannot speak it. I love the German language and most of my free time is devoted studying it. I also plan on studying French when I get to an intermediate level in German. After tackling those two languages I am leaning on towards learning Swedish, European Spanish or perhaps Turkish, I'm not entirely sure yet.I decided on using self study through the Colloquial books, websites and videos. I tried doing college classes but I prefer setting my own pace and choose my lessons. One of my regrets is not starting serious language learning earlier so I wouldn't be solate. Asides from wanting to learn languages and hoping that it would increase career opportunities, I became a little unnerved with the American stereotype of only knowing English and being ignorant of the rest of the world. I really wanted to break away from that stereotype and be much more aware of global affairs and culture. Lastly I would love to study or work abroad. I know there are many opportunities out there but many of the programs are very expensive. Thanks for letting me be part of this great community!

Not going to lie—that's partly the reason I started developing my interest in languages and global affairs as well. Greetings from another 22-year-old American, who wishes his mother had spoken Tagalog to him... Edited by nway on 12 October 2011 at 6:04pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Greetings also from a Norwegian who would have loved it of her mom spoke Tagalog, or indeed any foreign language to her. I am sure you will love it here. I have become addicted :-)
