Have you ever said anything in a foreign language which was rude, when you didn't mean to?

Un peu sur moi Je voudrais amelliorer mon francais. Que faire? Il n'y a pas de classe pres de moi. Aussi j'ai peu de temps pour l'etudier. Je peux lire beaucoup de choses en francais et je crois que je puisse penser en cette langue interessante. Je suis un peu timide de parler devant une autre personne, parce que je suis sur que je fais encore beaucoup d'erreurs, mais ca m'inquiete pas beaucoup. On me comprend assez bien. Un chose etrange - en ce moment je suis en train d'ecouter des phrases simples en Russe! C'est vrai - je peux ecrire ceci est ecouter quelque chose! J'ai developpe l'art de faire deux ou trois choses en le meme temps parce qu'il y a toujours beaucoup distractions dans ma vie quotidienne. A bien tot! Une question: comment peut-on ajouter les accents ici - il ne me semble pas facile.!

What method works the best for you in learning the language(s) you want to learn? I am asking this partly to get ideas myself, especially for languages I might learn in the future and to help other italki members

A little about me. Well, my first entry will be in my native language, English, although I will probably "have a go", as we say at writing things in the languages I have some knowledge of: German, French and Italian. I am not fluent in any of these, but can read most things in French and communicate reasonably well in German and French. My Italian is rather "rusty" as I learnt it about to intermediate level 16 years ago. I have interests in a lot of things, but particularly improving my languages. I am also trying to begin learning Russian, but this is difficult as my life is full of things that I need to do. I will stop now, as I have certain boring things I need to do! Best wishes to anyone who wishes to read what I write and every success in learning your chosen language(s)!
