Learning another language
What do you think? What's the best way to learn another language (music, other)? Is it necessary to learn from a "native?"
If you could learn a second or third language which one would you want to learn? Why?

I am really desiring to learn Aramaic. This is because Hebrew is believed to be the first language of mankind.

If I had the option to learn any language in the world as second or third language, I'd learn French since it's the universal classy language for delegates or maybe German.

I'm living in Italy for a few years for my husband's work, and if it wasn't for this move, I would never have learned the Italian that I've learned so far. Also, going to the pharmacy, doctor's, and more importantly restaurants forces me to review/learn key words and phrases in order to communicate.
I would love to improve the Spanish I already know and continue to learn Italian.

I support your desire to learn Aramaic. I am also interested in learning the Aramaic language.GodfreyAngwech wrote:Learning a new language through a native speaker is the best for me. Every language has a lot of dynamics that only a native speaker can understand best. But if I can't get a native speaker then I would opt for class tutorials.

How nice! Do you read in Italian and Spanish as well? I have never been to Italy, but would like to visit there one day.hsimone wrote:You don't have to be in a country that speaks another language in order to learn a specific language. However, I feel it might be more motivating versus just watching movies, listening to music, using tutorials, etc.
