go for it buddy do you have someone to talk to you regularly in those languages God provided me with a friend who speaks the language ive learnt for years but hey im still at upper beginner level but yeh so a great blessing God provided me with I care about her as a friend and sister inChrist a person as a whole but the language is a added bonus God gave me this friend as he's called me to China in the future and whats me to up my language learning Ive been stuck in second gear for too long haaha! Whatever you do commit it to God enjoy its fun!
we talk on a chat app my friend and I who I met thru CC so its got audio too which is very needed crucial the speaking and replying plus relaying back what was spoken great - food for thought take it or leave it :)

Yes, grammar rules first is an epidemic. Its a fact that even people who take a 2-4 year long university course in a given language are rarely fluent after they graduate. Academic study of language and actually speaking it in everyday usage unfortunately do not go hand in hand. And tagalog eh? I know lumipad means to fly :p. I know about the whole Narda/Darna thing and awit na na na nawagen & darating kaya sound cool but I have no idea what the words actually mean :p. Im a kamikazee fan if you cant tell.

Only two languages I actually speak with fluency are Esperanto and English. However, i have learned some words and the alphabets of many languaes. Hebrew, greek (for biblical purposes) i can usually read with the help of a dictionary cross referenced with literal translations. I want to be fluent in these and started down that road at one point, but I decided russian and spanish should be learned fluently first because they are more practical for modern day communication. I also started mandarin but totally gave up on it because the tones absolutely kill me. I have no interest in actually visiting china so I took Chinese off the list.

i have also dabbled in Arabic, French, a little German. Had some friends that were Czech teach me a few words. I have no vocabulary or fluency in any of those to speak of. I love language and have many interests, its why I decided to pick two and ignore everything else until those are learned well. Hebrew and Greek full fluency will be my next two projects after Spanish and Russian are licked. I'm assuming Cebuan is a local dialect of the Cebu province in the phillipines?
yup the alphabet I have no trouble with of Mandarin Chinese but the tones arent too difficult for me if i speak very slowly im good the pronounciation of the tones but to jump from one to another tone quickly in conversational Manadarin / pu tong hua is rather difficult I do have two advantages having a gift for languages and the New Zealand accent is one of the most blandest accents so we can imitate accents well and perhaps that links to good pronounciaton of languages too I dont know honestly most NZ europeans generally the ones Ive meant arent too good with pronounciation so I dont know. I like other native english speakers learning Chinese that can speak it well but our rate or pace is another story generally we speak as slow as a snail because of Chinese languages being tonal.

Wow that's a lot of langauges! You seem to be enjoying that. Lol it's cool that you know Kamikazee lol. They're not my favourite but they have their own style I think. Yes it is the local dialect of my home province, Cebu :) How do you even know about Cebu? Growing up in the Philippines, we had to learn all 3 languages at the same time and it was exhausting! Lol. I'd speak English in the morning, then Tagalog after lunch then Cebuano when I get home! You'd have probably enjoyed it more than I lol.

Just realised we're totally derailing this thread ;) *fistbump*

Not a thing at the moment, probably gonna' jump on that whinnie the pooh baseball and attempt to defeat the unstoppable christopher robbin. I've played a grippp of video games in my time, some real hard games....but I can't beat christopher robbin in some ridiculous flash game.

I'm genuinely running low on confidence that I got what it takes to defeat him. He's like, he's like the Joe Montana of child flash games, or something. It's just ridiculous.
