In my experience after middle school teachers don't try to make learning a language fun anymore...so I don't learn naturally in class. So it's really up to me to learn it on my own time.
And I'm not the type who really likes to do that. sigh.

I have Mercury in Taurus house 12
Moon Opposition Mercury
Mercury Sextile Venus
Mercury Trine Uranus
Mercury Trine Neptune
Mercury Opposition Pluto

My 3rd house is empty of Leo with a bit of Cancer. Maybe that's where wanting it to be fun, and having a good learning environment comes from.

And with Mercury in Taurus in the back of my head I wonder "how do I know if I will ever need to speak this language? What if I learn it all for nothing?" (ha not like I do anyway!)

Anyways in school I have had German, Spanish, and Italian. Sadly I cannot hold a conversation in any of these languages.

But my guy is fluent in Spanish, one day I was talking to him in a British accent. And right after that he said "I wish you could speak to me in Spanish" So I let him know I'd try. Been attempting to teach my self.

As I know, half people in Montreal (coming from other countries) speak three languages: their mother language and to come there, they have to speak either English or French. If they don't speak French, they have to go to the Evening School (for free) to study French. That is very important to get job at all.

I am multilingual.English & French are my mother tongue. I speak both of them fluently at home, school, my friends etc. since I live in Quebec (it's bilingual here).

I understand Filipino and can speak it a little (that's my mom's language)
I know basic spanish and mandarin (currently taking it in college).

I have sun,merc,venus & mars in Sagittarius baby!!! Also Jupiter in the 9th house with Sagittarius MC

I'm Filipino, too! Filipino is my native language but I can speak and understand 3 different dialects. English is about the only other language I'm fluent in. I can understand a *bit* of Japanese, Korean and Spanish since quite a number of Filipino words are taken after Spanish.

I think I can pick up other languages quite easily, but it's easier for me to learn it by living in a place where it is spoken or be taught by a native speaker than learn the entire language by myself.

In high school I followed 1 year French lessons, so I speak French 'un petite peu' further I attended about 5 years of English lessons.
4 Years of German language lessons + practical experience over the years. When several German people say I'm speaking German very well that might be considered as 'ein Kompliment'.

Working for an international company also made me more experienced with the English language.
My native language, by the way, is Dutch. So I speak three different languages.

Spanish (but it is not the more formal European Spanish) Mandarin, Latin, and some Romanian

TBH, Romanian is probably my most enjoyable one to learn b/c it takes words from other languages and put their own twist on them

-Italian "Arrivaderci!"

Romanian-"La revedere!"

It's just that little difference that makes it so interesting to me

Chile conjucts my Mars.
Peru is opposing my Moon and Pluto
That's all that is prominent in my chart.

Now with my transits...nothing really right now. But I wonder if with it transiting my planets if I will be good at that point, if I keep it up.
I had Spanish in 5th grade but that was pre school stuff.
And in high school but I didn't learn any thing...we went over the answers before we turned in homework and I would cheat on the tests. Kind of wishing I would of learned in that class now.
