    BTW, if all you know in a certain language is to swear and curse, it doesn't count.

    Cute! For some reason I find the Ilocano accent so malambing.

    I took French and Nihonggo classes in my teens but I forgot everything already

    Now I'm thinking if I should take formal German lessons. Every meeting our VP asks if I am learning German already. I told him my German boss (AVP) is teaching me little by little

    When I was new in my position the company offered to pay for my tuition but I declined because it was after work and somewhere in Citibank (hassle to go). I regret it because now that we are cost cutting they definitely will not pay for my classes anymore.

    Go enroll. It's nice. Good thing they're in Makati now if you're pertaining to Goethe so it's not that far compared to their old place along Aurora near St Paul QC. Took my classes there

    Wow! You speak German? It's so hard to learn because it has so many exceptions to the rule and some words are so long.

    The location in Makati is still inconvenient for me because of the traffic I would have to travel right smack on rush hour and sometimes it takes 30 mins just to get out of dela Rosa It's expensive diba?

    Alliance Francaise in Reposo is relatively cheap lang kasi.

    It's not that hard over you get the hang of it. Haven't spoken in almost a decade since I've really no one to converse with anymore so my German is most likely that of a toddler. True in the traffic though. It'll be bad. And parking also. At least before they had ample space for parking. Not too sure about how expensive they are now but during the 90s they were about the same with Alliance. They were still near pasong tamo. I took them both because of school. Now I don't use any of the two, unfortunately.

    English, Tagalog, Naga Bikol.

    For some reason, I'm finding it difficult to learn Ilokano, unlike Bikol which I learned pretty quickly (maybe because it's closer to Tagalog?).
