Re: Two languages
I speak English, Spanish, and Latin. I have been working on Japanese for origami purposes.
Ouch! Are you okay? Well...let's see.. advanced box-pleating techniques, Satoshi Kamiya, yeah I'm good. If you fall down nine times get up ten times.

Re: Two languages
I took Japanese for my foreign language requirement in highschool, but didn't do all that gret(only got a C in Japanese 2 on a second attempt), but it's still the closest I've come to breaking out of the monolingual minority(a fact, that unlike most Americans, I'm properly ashamed of).
I've also had a semester of German at a University, but that went even worse than my attempts at learning Japanese.

Just so you know, I'm blind.
Re: Two languages
Like lots of other people here, I've been teaching myself Japanese for origami purposes. It's been going fairly well, but remembering vocabulary is really hard for me.

Re: Two languages
I've been thinking of giving myself a basic understanding of how Asian languages and work, and mainly Japanese (no reason, just... youknow... )
kirakinn, what are you using to teach yourself? I haven't been able to find anything besides an old broken CD at a thrift shop. Is it online?

Re: Two languages
In general, I like the Pimsleur Courses for Languages on CD, which I can usually find in the local library.

Re: Two languages
I speak three - English, Telugu and Hindi. Telugu is my mother tongue, Hindi is the most widely spoken language in India and it is essential to learn it, and I guess I don't need to say about English :B
