I hear that the best time to start learning a new language is at age 3.

You're a little over the hill JD. :)

I don't need to talk about that. But it's definitely a nice subject to talk about. So I don't mind.

Yes, actually, "porfavor" means "please". The German word is "bitte".

Do you think it is difficult to learn english? I don't really think so. Other languages as french or spanish are more difficult.
I suppose you're pretty interested in learning other languages.

Well, the important thing is to get to know as much as you can, English is easy in the basics, if you want to "master" it, you have a long road before you, only the theory is enormous...but French, Spanish and Italian(thus Romanian languages) aren't hard if you get to know them, after a while you get a feeling they're all quite the same. A i do Latin, and had a solid French from before, and when I have to decipher something from a Spanish board, I'm quite succesful...It's just a matter of experience :)

The language is beatiful when you start finding the connections between them, even in my native Czech.

I think I'd be able to conversate in czech, english, french and maybe a simple one in latin. But i understand Slovak(I suppose I could even write in it, our two countries we're still connected 14 years ago), Polish and bits from those Romanian...and I can't say I would give languages more time than I gave to other things at school...

We'll still I'm far from perfect in any one of them(including my native :D), and as I said, when you et to know more of them, you'll start finding connections and learning new ones is only easier and easier :)
