I've lost almost all my french vocabulary since last year. :|

My mom is trying to teach me Cantonese.
I'm working on pronouncing the five elements (gold, wood, water, fire, earth), sun (day) , moon (month), up, down, and 1-10

I know English and French, and once the school year starts up again I'll be taking my second course of French.

I don't know why, but I enjoy French slightly more than I enjoy English, but I find English much more practical since it's native to me.

Я думаю что я очень люблю русский. Я не знаю почему, а я всегда говорить по–русски, но не по–немецки или по–японски...
でも、僕は日本語で書くのが大好きです。分かりますか。とてもきれいだよ。

I'm planning on writing a book that uses several different languages - not in the same way as House of Leaves, but, well, I don't want to give it away. Needless to say, it will be near unreadable to most.

Wow, everyone knows so many languages...!

I've been thinking about immersion once i'm old enough, but I feel like I won't know enough of the language to go there. I also worry about cost )':. (It's French btw.)

Also, any suggestions for learning French over the summer?

! and.. I know English and I can speak/understand Cantonese. Can't read or write it though. )':

I know English, a bare minimum of Japanese (there was that fluency period back at age three, but then I learned English... :/ ), and some French.

I'm taking another French class when school starts, but I'm really tired of French. I wish I could take Latin instead. Or German. :/

If you know some already - Google News. I have Google news in Russian, German and Japanese in my RSS feeds. I also regularly raid bookstores and libraries for foreign language books.

Latin is a dead language. Ignore it.

I have decided to vote for Obama largely based on the fact that he wants everyone in America to be bilingual or even trilingual.
And I can't believe anyone has used that against him.

Sturm, you might find this useful,

http://caminobrowser.org/download/releases/1.6.3-MultiLang/

I'll assume that means you can change the text so that it comes out as the language you've selected.

You can also change things like that on OS X/Leopard, but I think you already know how to do that.

I know English, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, and the um... that Fujian-Chinese dialect. Ugh I wish my family would stick to ONE dialect of Chinese rather than having some parts of the family speak Mandarin, some Cantonese, and then others Fujian. My ability to read/write Chinese isn't wonderful, though.

My Fujian is really choppy though. My Spanish isn't that great either, but I can carry a conversation.

I can't speak Fuking at all. Apparently my grandmother and I communicated with gestures. I always thought she understood Cantonese.
