I am aware that I'm way less handsome than Brad Pitt, not so charming as George Clooney or Cristiano Ronaldo. However, I think I have some qualities:
- I have a heart and a soul (which is not obvious in today's world). I like talking about interesting topics, but I often don't have anyone to talk to. This is the main reason why I'm here and I must say I have already f... [more]

Do you really speak all those languages?
Since it is not easy to answer to this question, I have prepared a legend for you:
"Speaks" lists all the languages I have studied, from my mother tongue to those I haven't learnt so well: I should be able to understand at least some easy posts or messages in all these languages.
"Learning" includes the languages already mentioned in the "Speaks" field I am not good enough yet. I am either studying them now (it's the case of Portuguese) or willing to refresh my knowledge. Please note that I have basic skills in all of them, that's not a "wish-list".
"Can help with" regroups the languages I am fluent in: I can write, read and speak them more or less easily. As for Latin, I can't speak it, but I can help you with grammar or translations.
To sum up:
- I have some elements for all the listed languages;
- I can read posts and write easy ones in all the languages in the "Speaks" field;
- I can easily read and write long posts in the "Can help with" languages.
So, here come my request: it would be great to find people who can help me brush up and improve the languages listed in the "Learning" field. I fear I may soon forget the little of Czech, Finnish and Greek I have learnt!
My long-term aim is to learn all the official languages of the European continent, at least at a basic level. Will I be able to do so? "God only knows"!
Q. What do you use to study languages?
I have studied most of the listed languages with the self-learning courses by French publisher ASSIMIL. Not all of them proved successful, though. My main concern with them is that they didn't give me a wide enough vocabulary.
Q. Do you have a method to learn languages?
Actually I don't, or at least I didn't until a while ago, when, thanks to this site, I could discover the figure of Kató Lomb. She was a Hungarian polyglot who learnt a great number of languages with a method she invented, based on reading books. If you are also interested to learn more about her, you can read this Wikipedia page and download the English version of her book "Polyglot. How I learnt languages" from this site. I am now trying to use her method to improve my Polish knowledge, in particular to broaden my vocabulary. I have had problems in word learning with all the languages I have learnt by myself, except Spanish, as well as with Slovene (which I studied at university).

I love discussing politics and am useless on most other things. But then, politics is a wide field. I am finishing politology at the university of Ljubljana so it comes with the terrain. Otherwise I have a steady job which doesn't pay much, but isn't all that bad.
Am more and more interested in gardening and planting fruit trees. I must be getting old, but then, I live on a farm not far from town. I am also getting a bit religious lately ... [more]
