I learnt English by this single, main factor: My videogames.
When I was like 5 or 4 I couldn't understand what important sentences and instructions really meant... It made me go and ask my parents for the meaning of some words I didn't knew. When I had enough info about basic things from English I somewhat understood the idea of sentences.
Later I went to school (English classes)where I fully learned it.

You're pretty good at it, too, if I do say so myself. ^^ I can barely tell that it's not your native language. Then again, I haven't seen a good compilation of sentences from you. Hmm....

Anyways, I think the French are obsessed with rabbits. You know how in English we have our silly expressions? Well, in French, I've come across two of which involve rabbits:

Coup du lapin: Literally, this means "Blow of the Rabbit" but it actually means "whiplash".

Poser un lapin a quelqu'un: Literally, this means "to put a rabbit on somebody" but it actually means "to stand somebody up".

Isn't that funny?? =3

Well, Crimson, you're forgetting to change the verbs in number. The structure is also a bit wrong. Spanish usually follows a single structure in a sentence. Some words like "What" in English don't necessarily translate like "Que" in Spanish. Your sentence would be like:

Asi es como me enteré del Japonés.

Il me semble plutôt étrange si vous me demandez. Je n'ont jamais été à l'Europe, alors je ne saurais pas, mais j'ai une tante qui y vit. elle dit que le gens agissent différemment alors en Amérique. Donc je ne doute pas ce que vous dites.

Gracias por la crítica, puedo tratar de hacerlo mejor.

That's it. Whenever I happen to find the time, I think I'll try learning another language. I think knowing more than one or even two languages really sets you apart and I want to be multilingual. So I shall! First, I must become fluent in French....>>

Yo aprendiendo Español en mi escuela. No soy perfecto, pero comprendo un pequeño.

Also, I know a few words/phrases of many languages. Most of what I know of German is because of the song 99 Luftballons. I know a bit of Japanese, from taking karate. I know one phrase in Swedish. I know a tiny bit of Latin and some random words in French. I used to take ASL(American Sign Language), but I forgot most of it...I believe that's it...
