WOW I want to learn a slovick language...Polish, Russian, ukrainian, or ALL. No preferance because basically I LUV the accents the native speakers have. Every explaination of ANYTHING, must be exactly whatever they say 'cause they sound so wise and powerful. (note: guys with this accent: SOoo HOT!)

I really want to learn Japanese or one of the most common Chinese dialects like Cantonese.. I really have such an interest in that but I know that I don't really have the time to devote to it right now.

I started learning mandarin...I think that's the most common, then cantonese. Chinese has that very crisp sound, and you actually have to say things at different pitches to make sure you're expressing your thought properly, FUN.

ahh yes Mandarin. I couldn't think of it. Yeah I really want to learn that.

oh and by the way, Polish, Russian and Slovakian languages are all COMPLETELY different. Russian even has a completley different alphabet. I never knew how to read/speak or understand any russian at all... and I used to know this Slovak brother and I could not undrestand him AT ALL when he spoke in his language haha.. it was funny because he would just keep talking and my sister and I would just stare at each other not having any idea what he's saying

at the same time they sound so similar

yeah, but only to the untrained ear! haha

Spanish is actually more closely related to Polish than Russian for example. Knowing Polish really helped in learning Spanish, and certain words are identical!

Certain words are similar in Russian and Polish but.. it's just a completely differnet ballgame

Very interesting, see I just like the accents I have no opinion on whether or not the actual languages sound similar...the accent's are very strong, very (ah hem rhymes with rexy).
