I wish to learn Italian. It resembles much with Romanian. ^.^

I feel that all children should learn at least one other language and should be taught by people who have that language as their own mother tongue.

@Norisor How many languages do you speak?

Right. The ability to speak more than one language is always an advantage.

I learned English in parallel with my mother tongue and it helped a lot, I think that children should start early with the languages.The more languages you learn, the best. I want to learn Italian and Spanish now, I have started online classes for Italian but I haven't been following the program properly.

@Norisor thanks. It is hard to succeed when it is self-paced. It would be more efficient to attend an offline class or get private lessons.

I had started something similar, but I haven't done too much. I hope you succeed!

The more languages one person has the better. There is nothing negative about speaking more than one language, it is a wonderful asset.

Unless you start to mix and confuse them, especially when they're similar.

Me: Il y-a TRE... (There are three...) French Teacher: TROIS, tre is Italian, not French. Me inside: But I didn't say the number in Italian, I said it in Norwegian... Oh, that's the same. I'll never forget that oral test.

3 can be a lot to learn and hard to maintain if you don't use it often but I think the more languages you can speak the more you can communicate when travelling

I think it all depends on your goal.

Children in primary school don't have goals. If they wait until they are old enough to have one then it imight be too late to learn more languages.

@mysdianait I spoke in a general way. You addressed a specific topic, then my answer would certainly be different.

I agree! because I speak 3 languages daily, first is our native language which is my provincial language the "kapampangan" second is our national language which the "tagalog" third of-course but not the least "English" we speak these three language daily, not just a single but sometimes a combination of two or three, for example " hi good morning kamusta kana?"(a combination of english and tagalog).
