I'm 17, and I really want to learn Spanish, French, and maybe even Mandarin (of course, not within a short time frame!). I have taken two years of Spanish in high school, but upper division Spanish had been cancelled by the time I could have taken it. Admittedly, it was not my best subject, as idioms and sentence structure (like "lo que") had me baffled. I can understand written Spanish fairly decently, with the exception of knowing what a few words translate to.

But I keep hearing that after a young age (way before age 17), the brain is less capable of really learning foreign languages.

I want to learn out of necessity, and out of a desire to communicate with more people around the world, but is it too late to re-learn and expand my knowledge of Spanish (and learn the other mentioned languages)?

I'm half italian, my moms calabrian and my father (divorced) is canadian. I also live with my nonah (Grandma) and mom, so my nonah speaks ONLY italian, no english.

Under all this infulence I (still) dont feel that i'm italian. Does being half mean I cant take part in our culture as much as someone who is entirely italian?

I'v always felt this way, are there any half italians that take part greatly into their culture?

P.S: Could it be that I still dont understand the language completely yet?

I'm having a bit of a problem getting my head around the difference between two tenses in Spanish.

Trabajar

He Trabajado = I worked
Trabaje = I worked

I'm guessing one is like saying "I used to work" and one is like saying "I worked" as in "I worked today". Is that right?
If anyone could clear this up for me and give a couple of examples that would be great.

Thanks in advance!

I took French in 6th grade for one year, but my grade for that course was a low 86-88 for my standard. I went back to Chinese for 7th and 8th grade since I'm in 8th grade. But now that I am back in the states for high school (boarding school) my chinese placement got me into Honors Chinese which is supposed to be 11th graders. My mom and aunt won't stop nagging me about changing the language to Spanish or French. What should I do? Please tell me whether or not I should change my language! If so, which language should I take and why. I know boarding school's going to be HARD but if I take a new language, what if it makes my GPA low? AHHHH! Help!
