I am from the United States, and I'm interested in learning several different languages. My first goal is to re-learn Spanish and have a conversation for 10 minutes by January 1st, 2015 (I used to be semi-fluent, but I'm not sure how good my speaking skills are now). My goal is to be at least tri-lingual by 30. Other languages that I want to learn: -Japanese -Chinese (Mandarin first) -French -Tagalog -Any other languages! Culture is important. I can also help people out with their English and I'm always up for learning more languages than the ones listed!

    Very good. The only correction would be to say "washes" instead of "wash." The verb "wash" is describing what someone (not you) are doing to the item in the present (now). Since there is more than one of the item (the clothing) and this is happening in the present, "wash" should instead be "washes." There are some exceptions though. If you say "He washes his car," the verb "wash" is in the same form as the sentence you just gave, because you are describing that person. I hope this makes sense. If you have any questions please ask!

    It is very scary to talk in a new language. I am going through the same thing with my Filipino. But just do it. Even if you mess up some words, most people that you find on here will be very forgiving, and will help you out or encourage you to continue studying. Even if your answers are one or two words, it's something! You'll gain more confidence in yourself, and that's very important. When I was in Japan I couldn't speak any Japanese. But I kept trying, even if I looked or sounded silly. Now I can speak "survival Japanese" and am working on becoming a better speaker. You can do it! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

    "Goes" is usually used to describe someone else (usually not referring to you): -"He goes to the store to buy some milk when he realized he forgot his wallet." -"While everyone goes to the movie theatre, why don't we get ice cream?" It is the plural version of the word "go" and is used for the present tense. An exception to this rule is when you're using slang: -"Anything goes in the boxing ring." The term "anything goes" is another way of saying "there are no restrictions" or "There are no rules." "Goes to" is when you're describing what someone is doing or going to that isn't you (either he, she, it, or they): -"While Benjamin goes to the store to get food, you and I will set up for the party." -"The mail is put into the slip, where it then goes to processing to figure out where it needs to go." I hope this helps!

    Hey there Ruby. Yes, you can say "you too," but that's usually if you're good friends with the person, like a good friend or a best friend. A couple of other responses you can do are: "Thanks/thank you, you too." This is a great thing to say to anyone, even if you don't know them that well. "And the same to you" is a more formal version of the above examples, but I prefer it because you literally saying "I am wishing you luck as well." Hope this helps!
