I'm 36 and my English is far away from being perfect....
Hello Franzi!
Welcome to the forum...
you wrote: "I'd like to learn Italy too. " ... but you want to learn "Italian"... "Italy" is the country......
I'm wondering... learning so many languages... are you traveling a lot???
Hi, I´m also a new user in this forum. Now I could be the grandmother of it, because I will be 44 this year. I´m from Prague, hope it doesn´t matter. I don´t use English in my work, I like travelling very much, so I learn it to feel comfortable when I need to speak English. I can´t speak any other language, although I learned French in school, but I can put together only few French phrazes ...
Not knowing German language, I must explore the facilities of this forum thoroughly to find out more about it.
Looking forward to hear from you soon.

Franzi I think that too - so many languages - How do you make it. I have a lot to do, read english Periodical, hear Audio-CD´s and so on. So i´m happy to find this board to practic my english. If i would not do that, i would forget a lot.
a nice Day for all
"grandpa" Ralf
Please, feel free to correct all my mistakes. Thanks
it's interesting what the younger generation thinks about us "older" people: not interested in learning languagesand so on.. Me myself i have been always interested in learning languages- I speak fluently italian, very good french, a bit spanish and last year I even began to learn turkish.. ..
but U'r also right: learning/ practizing english actually it's mainly for the job.. but I like it! In my younger days I didn't like english (pronouncing) but I changed my opinion, today I'm enjoying speaking it!
Ah yes, did we say anything negative about younger people? I don't remember it..
anyway: Franzi, don't know where U're living, but if Ur interested in learning italian, I can give U a help, if U like! I'm half italian and could teach U well..
I think Paula didn´t say nothing negative.
From my point of view, youngerst aren´t very keen on speaking with "older" people I mean they search rather for the same-age friends even if it´s only for practising English. In addition, I think it is also easier to find the bilateral topic.
Nevertheless I admire everybody here, it´s really a drudgery (for me at least) to memorize all the new words, it is not as I was twenty.
I don´t think I have any problem with my age (yet). What I wrote is only my experience in other forum (Czech forum written in English). I´m the oldest one there, but besides the supervisor and one 30 year old guy nobody else reacts to my dues. But I must admit that there are teenagers mainly. I was sorry about that a little, because I can say that speaking/writing English always turns me into a good humour. That´s why I tried to find another forum.
