I was just wondering if anyone else out there had any tips on what languages would be the easiest to self teach for native English speakers. English is kind of sort of my first language (it's really up for debate on what your definition of first language is), Japanese is my second, German my third, French my fourth (once again, really up for debate on whether my first language is French or English), and ASL is my fifth (Still learning this one).
I decided that maybe I would look to you guys on getting help with what languages would be the easiest to self teach, or maybe if you have any tips on how self teaching a certain language could be easier. So far, the list of really easy ones is ASL and Malay, mostly because both have really similar grammatical structures to English, and Malay has many words that are similar to their English counterparts. I first started learning about Malay when my father took my sister and I to Kuala Lampur last June, it's a really cool language, and the country has such an amazing culture.
So yeah, any tips or suggestions are gladly appreciated! Danke! Thanks! Merci!
