Fluent in English, French, German. Basic Russian and Italian. Very basic Spanish.
One of my ex's was French I had a friend who spoke punjabi and I learnt a bit of Spanish through those learning cds.Random but it would be interesting to know how you learned the languages you speak as some of the combinations seem quite random? To begin I had a South American friend in primary school and was always desperate to learn and finally had the chance at high school, I then have spent lots of time in Spain and then picked up italian as a second language at uni but mainly learned when I moved there (easy to pick up because of spanish )
'Throw another prawn on the barbie mate'I speak English and fluent Welsh. Know small bits of French and spanish. Fluent in Australian lingo too
Apps like duolingo are really good, but the best way I learnt a language which wasn’t spoke at home was through television programmes on Netflix and music xRandom but it would be interesting to know how you learned the languages you speak as some of the combinations seem quite random?

My mum is welsh (used to speak it at school now remembers very little) any resources to learn that you know?? Side note but To improve the Australian I’d recommend We can be heroes and summer heights high (high from chris Lilley)I speak English and fluent Welsh. Know small bits of French and spanish.

I think it's down to need and accessibility. Most effective way to learn another language is living in that country for a least a year, combined with study. Or having a parent: that has another mother tongue in the county they live in.I would love to be able to speak another language. How do you all do it? School/self taught?
I agree with this but it can be difficult for a lot of people to up and leave for another country.I think it's down to need and accessibility.
