I know it means someone on the fringes in English, but I've often wondered if it really is a French word?

How is it? How long did it take you to learn Japanese? Thanks!
(I also googled it, but...I wanted answers from the people who already learned (or learning) the language through the website)

I am learning Spanish and I cannot roll my Rs. I have had a few people start laughing at me like they thought it was so hilarious. :(

I'm 25 years old and work in a job that sees me handling all sorts of correspondence from members of the public and I am genuinely terrified at the dire standards of English displayed by all sorts of people including, worryingly, parents, teachers and professionals.

Now before you pick holes in the finer points of my grammar, I don't hold myself up as some sort of bastion of perfect English. But I can write and spell and generally construct proper sentences.

What genuinely worries me is when I receive a letter from a concerned parent (I deal with complaints about....adverts), and he or she just cannot write or spell or anything.

Why are standards falling so badly, and should I just get a life and stop being so snobbish about it?

My vote would go for the following as I find them rather subtle
I know (1) fluently; (2) and (3) moderately

1. Urdu
2. Sanskrit
3. French

Though everyone finds their own language "sweetest", you need to choose a language other than your own.

I want to learn french, I already know the basics but I want to speak french fluently. I'm still a child so if you can please suggest a good free website.
I could ask my parents for french lessons but I don't wanna get it that far. I'm just a child that likes the language.

I've been able to speak English and communicate with it since I was 8 years old thanks to the many hours I've spent in front of the tv.
When saying something in English to someone who's an Arab, it's common sense to speak in an Arabic accent or else you'd sound like an idiot (at least to the others).

Now although I almost have an American accent I don't really think it's perfect or that much good really although I've learned English by watching TV.
I don't want to have an Arabic accent because I believe a language MUST be spoken as it is. But if I for example alter my accent into an English one, would I appear as an imitator or phony? Just because I don't want to speak Engarabic or semi American.

Also, other than watching British movies and talking to British people, are there any free ways to enhance my accent into a British one?

Thanks.

If you see on a stone engraved with runes how can you learn to understand it? I have searched but mostly it just talks about divination.
