So I also began to take an interest in learning languages as well as linguistics. I'm learning Spanish and French as my third and fourth language, with Mandarin already my second language. I can speak Mandarin fluently, but my reading is horrid. My Spanish speaking is a bit iffy, I still need to keep in mind having having adjectives change according to gender and number, it's not something that I always have in mind, but I can read very well. I can read a fair bit of French, but I'm still learning the various tenses, as well as voices. I try really hard at getting used to the phonetics of a language before I start. My throat hurt so much when I practiced the French "R" -_-
