  1. Hey Macky,
    That will be very hard to know 5 languages. It would be very difficult to even remember how to speak it. I wonder how long it could take you to learn all 5?.

    Great Blogging
    Keep it up

  2. Hi Macky!

    I am wondering exactly the same thing as Jerome - how long do you think that it would take you to learn five languages? I have to imagine that it would take a pretty long time given that the languages are all quite different.

    You'd have to have time to learn the language and then time to practice it. They say that if you don't practice a language (or 'use it'), then you lose it. That is certainly true for me. I used to know how to speak French but I haven't had the chance to use it much over the past 10 years and I've forgotten most of what I learned. Arrghhh!

    Do you speak a language other than English, Macky? If so, how long did it take you to learn it?

    Nice work with your blogging! Keep it up :)

    There is a full week left in the Summer Learning Journey so there is lots of time to post great blogs, learn great new things and earn lots of great points!

    Cheers,
    Rachel :)

  3. Hey Macky,
    Wow 5 languages is very hard to learn. I wonder when you know when someone is talking this language or another language. I would be confused.
    Great Blogging
    Keep going
