    Tell me about it! Three years and hundreds of hours logged on Rosetta Stone for Spanish, and I might've picked up a whole two or three words...
    Twelve years of Hebrew classes, and kindergarten students in Israel speak English better than I can speak Hebrew!

    You think I'm exaggerating! I'm saying this with personal experience in the matter!

    Heh, spanish was always easy for me.
    I think the language will always be harder the farther away your language source is from it. Cause there are concepts that english can’t express in a word or two. Not to mention the mentality of the language is also different sometimes

    Scarier part is, I somehow managed to test out of a 13th and final year of it. Three years later, my parents and I are still clueless as to how I managed to do that. And more importantly, why the school allowed me to.

    @static7s You’re probably just better at the reading or writing. It’s common among language learning. Since speaking requires you having to constantly pull the info out of your brain

    Yeah... Not really. I still don't understand any more than half of what I would find in your typical children's book. The kind that has more pictures than words, usually a sentence or two per page.
