Learning a second language isn't hard but the way people try to learn is really inefficient and ineffective.

The Duloingo app helped improve my French a bit. I plan on being conversational in hopefully a few years.

English and Spanish. More rounded in a resume sense. Other than that, it's too funny to see native Spanish speakers look at you like . Even better to hear them gossip when they think no one understands, while you just sit there like. Damn shame that I lose the ability to speak very fluently when I'm out of practice. I can always read, hear, and write fine though.

I'll bookmark this thread and see if I can come up with some bullet points to summarize my technique this weekend. It depends on learning style, as well.

Not yet. I'm one of the odd ones out at my job though, most people there speak at least 2, easily 3, 4, or even 5 languages
It's convinced me that I HAVE to know at least 3 languages. I took Spanish in school so I figured I'd get serious about it... debating on the 3rd

Lil bit, I can understand Spanish alrite but my conversational skills are . (Oddly enough it comes better to me when I'm high or while I'm dreaming).

I read somewhere growing up bilingual can improve mental plasticity, relating to the concept of being able to relate many words to an idea.
