I'm having an issue learning languages.?

It's pretty difficult to consider yourself fluent without knowing how to conjugate anything... Parroting phrases is definitely not going to help you pass a proficiency test. If you just want to be able to communicate on a superficial level, then a few phrases can be useful, but if you really want to get the most out of your learning, you really ought to go all out.

I think it would also help if you chose just one to really excell at. If English is your native language, Spanish will likely be fairly easy for you to learn because there are only a few additions to the English alphabet and many similarities between Spanish and English. I have no idea what Tagalog requires, but if any of your family knows it, then that might help you get some real practical experience with the language.

I love Japanese, but it is a difficult language and may be discouraging if you are not sure you want to learn it. With three different writing systems (hiragana, katakana, kanji) and a variety of conjugations and nuances that don't directly translate to English, it can be frustrating. However, it's really rewarding when you finally understand some of the more difficult concepts. I don't know what the "yan-san" videos are like, but I have heard that Rosetta Stone is good. My classes use the Genki text and audio CDs and I have found it useful, although nothing beats practical experience.

Italian is supposed to be fairly easy, but learning it at the same time as Spanish could be very confusing because there are a lot of similarities. Knowing Spanish has actually made it pretty easy to read Italian though. A friend of mine who knows Latin says it helps with both of those languages.

In short, I don't think it would be a good use of time to just learn random phrases since it won't help you understand things in a more realistic context. There are so many ways to say the same thing, it just makes more sense to find a way to understand the various constructions that are possible.

Hope that helps a little- and good luck! :)

Rosetta Stone and all those other computer program are a waste of money ; go onto Amazon and read the reviews.

It takes most people at least 5 years to become fluent in any language.

Yes, you do have to learn all those conjugations and infinitives otherwise you will just be talking "baby talk" and never really master the language.

Ok, here's what I know.

It's almost impossible to become fluent in a language just studying it and especially in just a few years. My sister has been taking Spanish for 6 years and is not even close to fluent.

Only learn one language at once. You'll just confuse yourself otherwise. You'll get confused anyway, I sometimes mix up my languages.

German is a very easy language to learn. Quite a few cognates, and the rules and conjugations are fairly easy to learn and remember.

Spanish and French are hard. Latin (no offense to anybody) seems kinda useless if using it is your purpose. Russian and languages in that part of the world are difficult. Asian language all sound similar to an untrained ear and that can be confusing.

Well, first of all, conjugations are the cornerstone for all languages, including English. Whether you realize it or not, you use conjugations every single day in English (think of the difference between was, is, and were!).

However, if you have a hard time learning the conjugations, infinitives, etc. take a break and study vocabulary first. If you are able to understand simple words, you will eventually be able to make sentences. (and you'll be able to understand small parts of sentences)

Also, try to learn slower. Start to learn the infinitives and conjugations step-by-step. Learning a language can be complicated, and it sometimes helps to have a tutor to guide you along.

Good luck!

there are two ways you can learn spanish, one way is studying the conjugations by heart in your own country and the second way is going to a spanish speaking country and listen to everybody like a baby listen to his mother, the second way is more advisable and the natural way of learning a language, it is faster as well. The first way is slower and you will never learn the language properly because you lack the everyday practice.

I strongly recommend you going to a spanish or japanese speaking country to learn the language, because learning by heart is not advisable nor efficient. By learning conjugations by heart you will never be fluent (I'm spanish).

unfortunately you will eventually have to learn to read before you can speak it fluently. my suggestion is to take the similar languages and group them while learning. such as spanish, tagalog, and french. while japanese is a whole other ball of wax, take your time with that. Im 20 and still learning that language. its difficult, but what helps is knowing people who speak it not just on a video. Learn how to spell some things, and take it to the people and ask them how to say it, practice it and then apply it.

Languages are really easy to learn when you put your mind to it.

I suggest learning German, I find it makes more sense than French and other languages.

I can provide help if you want to learn

hey i,m too 15...... which is our international language? english.........to know english well is better......but if ur interested in anyother language u should know their grammar and must be able to talk without a single flaw and should also know phrases (for fluency)

Immerse yourself in the lingual heart of the country where nobody speaks English, you will pick it up in no time!
