[QUOTE="yne721, post: 4744816, member: 563261"] it's just a language that's really interesting to me. i like how it looks, i like how it sounds, i like a challenge. after taking german in high school i could understand and converse with natives... it's just like learning lots of stuff. sure you can learn the basics of construction in a classroom, but once you get out and start building houses you'll realize it's different, you just have to apply and change what you know. i used to love running into german people on xbox live and talking to them. obviously they knew it wasn't my primary language, just like when someone comes up to me speaking broken english i can tell, but you can definately learn the jist(gist?) of a language in school, then it all depends on how you'll use that knowledge to expand on it. obviously the best way to learn a language though is to immerse yourself in it. i.e. if you want to learn german, go live in germany.
