English is a ridiculously over-complicated language in many respects - I often wonder how anyone learns it (this is possibly why so many English people speak it so poorly). I've tried to learn various languages (French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Norwegian). I start off okay (I'm particularly good at accents, I'm told), but then I start to struggle. Not having anyone to practice with is partially the problem, I think, and also perhaps trying to learn too many things at once. When I finish Uni in a few months or so, I'm going to have a go at this free "teach yourself Esperanto" thing that I found on the Internet - it's supposed to be one of the easiest languages to learn, so it should suit me!:P

Esperanto

You could talk to [livejournal.com profile] n_true about it; he's interested in languages, too, and started learning Esperanto from a free (online?) course as well... he's even IMed with people in Esperanto. Or [livejournal.com profile] amuzulo, who has Esperanto as one of his major languages.

Or consider learning Lojban :) See http://www.livejournal.com/users/n_true/157440.html?thread=547328#t547328 for a list of links I picked out for [livejournal.com profile] n_true.
