roddy 5,435 Report post Posted November 20, 2004 I've realized this goal sucked and it's hard enough learning one complex language That's what I said when I gave up my plan of learning to speak all 6 official languages of the UN Roddy PS I should point out I gave it up after only about three months. Bought lots of textbooks though, and at one point could read Arabic (in the sense of 'right, that's alef and then it's . . . oh, is that kaf or lam. Oh, where's that vocab list and the magnifiying glass . . .') Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
