I speak 8 languages to varying degrees of proficiency. In rough order from strongest to weakest, the languages are English, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and German. I'd like to learn Korean, Russian, and Arabic as well. I write a blog about language learning called Street-Smart Language Learning™ and am currently working on a book of the same name. || Blog: http://www.streetsmartlanguagelearning.com/ || Twitter: http://twitter.com/streetsmartlang || Facebook: http://bit.ly/9c1ojb || Lang-8: http://lang-8.com/streetsmartlang || RhinoSpike: http://rhinospike.com/profiles/profile/streetsmartlang/ || iTalki: http://www.italki.com/T004356487.htm || Livemocha: http://www.livemocha.com/profiles/view/1540588 || MSN: streetsmartlang@hotmail.com || Yahoo: streetsmartlang@yahoo.com || Google: streetsmartlang@gmail.com || AIM: streetsmartlang || QQ: 914566195
