Guitarist Guild: A Musical Community Beyond Strings

Morning everyone,

I have just started learning German. I have spent a few years absent mindedly learning some Spanish but having visited both countries I have to say I think Germany is more for me! Spain is a bit hot and a bit too relaxed!

I have been using a tape (mp3 I know, but I am old enough to remember tapes) to get my head around some of the very basics and trying to read at least one newspaper article a day too.

Does anyone speak any other languages on here? If so, what? And as a last and slightly odd question, do you think that learning to read and write music can help people when it comes to trying to learn another language?
