I posted this in the guild last year. It's interesting, isn't it? And yes, we generally learn languages first by being forefront among the native speakers; however, if we are older (our age) and not really subject to the linguistic culture very much, then we are most likely not going to pick it up. Traditional learning is also only so helpful. If we are hearing it constantly and able to make natural, not forced, connections, we can pick up a new language fairly rapidly. Obviously, it's a lot easier for some than others.

Yes it was interesting just wish it wasn't so long xD;
Hm.. in my opinion I thought you could only learn a language if you are really willing to want to learn it, ya know like when you remember certain things you like?

That certainly helps. If your brain doesn't want to respond to the information it's being given, you might as well not have heard it at all. Now, some things just stick in our mind, like "Hola", because we've heard it from when we are young and we can associate it with an extremely common expression--'Hi." It's like building vocabulary in English. If we don't have the opportunity to use the words or phrases, and they hold no significance or value to us, we can only learn them through forced repetition or from hearing it consistently until we finally make the connection that enables us to remember. That's just knowing what the meaning of the word is and perhaps using it in conversation. Now, to understand the complexities of the structure of language, that's even more difficult, but also entails some of the same principles, since learning words and phrases are the building blocks for more advanced learning.

Yeah I kinda thought about that idea when I couldn't learn some Spanish words as easily cause I lost interest in the language though I do use it to talk to family, can't read it, can't write it but I can speak it but I mess up a few times or have trouble understanding what was just said sweatdrop

Well true not like you could learn french for example but you'll never use it in the usa cause there aren't any french people here or they aren't common so poof what did I waist my time learning? =/
But having to go into further details in the language sounds like it'd be hard can't you just google translate? xDD

At least you can speak Spanish though somewhat fluently, which is more than a lot of people.

Yeah, it would be more prudent to learn Spanish than French or German, I'd think. Some people just love learning languages (we all know about Japanese lovers), so they will break the barriers that most people won't because they have a strong desire to learn the foreign language. Sometimes they will take the additional step of living abroad and experiencing the language and culture firsthand.

Google translate isn't full-proof, though. It leaves words and phrases scattered or misconstrued, at times. Although it is good to use if you are quickly checking out the meaning of something generic.

I wasn't being serious blind I know google translate isn't a good choice for everything to be translated maybe for some things like small phrases or words well maybe not all words

Same here. In fact, almost all my irl friends like Japanese, but my best friend would consider herself an Otaku. Also, she would like to study Japanese in college.

Oh, well okay. I wasn't sure, now I know. smile

What does Otaku mean? I joined a club at my school [it's still in the process of being a club] that was called that [think they changed the name now] Heh, kinda now want to leave the club but both my friends beg me not to oh well as long as I'm not home I'm good, though I'm a bit of an outcast of the group/club cause I'm not into anime that much and know nothing about japanese things and the fact they go from anime to internet memes, can't relate to it.. xD;

An Otaku is basically someone who is obsessed/deeply likes anime, manga, and Japanese things. This is what we in America refer to as an Otaku.

And yeah, I know what you mean. I've barely watched anime, and I don't know much about Japan(ese) in general.

It's good to be out of the house, though. I feel lonely being in the house too much, insane...xD....of course I feel partially insane at any given time.
