Just wanted to know.

I would love to improve my french, it is okay now. I can get by with basic conversations, using simple words if the speaker is patient and speaks slow and simple too.

I also want to learn Chinese. But it is difficult. French is much easier for me.

From what I've seen, strong Gemini influence as well as Mercury aspects, and prominent 3rd house.

That's interesting. I just had a look at some charts of people I know who are good at learning languages and the one thing that stands out in common between them is Venus in Taurus. Other than that there was Sun or Mercury in Gemini and/or planets in the 3rd house amongst them. I don't have birth times for everyone though.

I think the reason to the problem can be my t-square. Moon square the stellium in virgo. Moon square saturn and saturn opposite the stellium.

If I'm not be as intresting in astrology as I am, I would never read english as I do. I can't find all that information in scandinavien languages as I want. The most of the litteratur on this subject are in english language.

For me it's not easy at all to learn and I don't love to learn either. I write english as I am going in small school

Yes,i absolutely feel the need to communicate with the outside world (7th house)...i also love writing and communication in general.

I heard that many journalist/writer/interpreter have Mercury in the 7th house... or have strong Libra influence(especially interpreters).

ariesgirl. I love to talk and write in my own language. I can read and understand all scandinavien language but this is almost the same as my swedish language. The other scandinavian country write in different way but there is not a problem to understand. I also understand english language without any problem but sometimes it takes time to understand . But I'm not good to write other languages . And to start a new one to learn it s not to think about at all.

Idk, I'm a Gemini Rising with Mercury Retrograde in Aquarius in the 9th and I'm totally crap at learning languages.

edit to add: My 3rd house ruler is my Sun which is also in Aquarius in the 9th conjunct my Mercury. Also my Sun's rulers (Saturn/Uranus) are both in Sagittarius. I've never been really bitten by the travel bug but it's been more and more appealing to me lately. And it's not that I'm not interested in new languages, I just can't seem to pick them up as quickly as other people. But maybe it's because I don't take time to actually study lol (btw Neptune and Chiron have been transiting over my Sun/Mercury in the 9th for the past few years so I've been doing poorly in school).

-lots of Sagittarius or
-prominent NINTH house

Mercury in connection to Sagittarius, or Jupiter, and/or the 9th house.

OR Jupiter in connection to Gemini, the 3rd house and/or Mercury.

Mercury/Gem/3rd house for learning and languages/communication.

Jupiter/Sag/9th for 'foreign'.

PS also the Moon connected to all of the above.

Well, my 9th house is ruled by Mercury. I'd think something like Mercury/Jupiter aspects or Mercury/Uranus would induce a love of languages. I have the latter and love languages: French, German, and Spanish; at one point I knew how to write all the traditional Japanese characters.

I like learning foreign languages and I also find it easy, and tend to have a good pronunciation too.
I have mercury in cancer conj. ascendant in 1st house, jupiter in the 1st house, pluto in 3rd house, venus in gemini.
I think a good aspect between mercury and jupiter can be another indicator (I don't have this though)

I have a lousy ear for foreign languages. I need to see words written down before they stick for more than a second. I also have a lousy memory for vocabulary. I need to practice a language every day, or I quickly forget what I've learned.

I know two people who don't have these weaknesses, so to me they're like foreign language goddesses. I'm in awe of them. They can pick languages up orally and they retain much even without consistent use.

They both have their 9th house ruler in their 5th house. Both have some strong Gem: one has a Gemini Asc, the other has a first house Gemini Venus. Both have a narrow Jupiter-Mercury aspect and Jupiter aspecting their 3rd house ruler (one narrowly, one widely).
