Thanks for the input. I do plan to learn Hanja at some point during my Korean studies, so hopefully that advance knowledge of Chinese characters will help when learning Kanji in Japanese. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It depends. Since my French reached a high level, I have been buying French materials for future languages I intend to learn (e.g. Assimil Spanish, with French as language of instruction). I think with them being related languages it is helpful.

I learn some basic chinese from japanese and it was very interesting although not that efficient it would have bennin french or Spanish;ont he other hand my japanese skills increased a lot;at this point you have to take into account the specificity of the target language (L3);nowadays we know for instance than when you think in chinese you don't use the same parts of the brain than in westerne language so I guess from a neurobilogical point of view it makes sense to learn chinese in japanese so there no necessary a point in saying yes but only if L2 is closed to L3;it depends of what languages you already know for instance,what is the average pitch & frequency in Hertz of the language you're trying to learn(I personnaly think than learning from higher to lower pitch is easier than the opposite);one more thing if you want to learn a lot of language it is almost compulsory to act this way because you can take the luxury to learn language one by one;I met a korean guy who decided to learn in the same time Italian ,spanish,portuguese,& french to avoid confusion and it worked pretty well but he was particularly gifted I must say....

I have never heard this -- can you provide a reference? I was of the understanding that there are only two different areas of the brain that languages can reside in, and that the difference between them is that all infant-learned languages sit in one part and all adult-learned languages in the other. This is regardless of the similarity between languages. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I plan to learn my L2 via my L3, if that makes any sense.

I learnt French in school through Dutch but now that it's all self-study I learn through a mix of some English (i.a. Pimsleur), a bit of Dutch and a lot of French immersion without any translation to teach myself to think in the language. I often look up a word or expression I don't know in both English and Dutch to create connections between the three because I would hate it if I were fluent in French but had to translate everything to English and then to Dutch instead of just directly to Dutch.
