About to Learn other Languages

Learning other language for me is a big challenge, however after started to study English, I want to learn almost one more. If I have the opportunity I want to learn French, maybe is not an universal language, but is really elegant. When I was in school I took French class. I didn't practice that for a long time, so I forgot everything. Just I remember a few words, but is not enough if I want to communicate in that language. The principal reason to select French is because when I went to Paris was too hard communicated me with other people, just they speak French or English. Other reason, not the most important, is because French language is close by Spanish. I'm not sure that is true, when people speak French is difficult for me understand. Some words are the same, but the mean are completely different. However if you want to be good at something, you have to practice. Learning other language is more than take class, you need to practice everyday, just that is our challenge.
