Yeah, I noticed that. I have troubles with conditionals and articles - they are my Achilles' heel. :D

I do not mean to be rude or something, but I am little bit surprised that you don't know any other language. You know, children in my country have to study their first foreign language since the age of 8 or 9 (third grade at elementary school) because of our education law. Generally, it is English. And at of 12 or 13 (seventh grade at elementary school) we have to take up another foreign language. At our school it was German. I wasn't very pleased, because I don't like German very much and I was forced to study it for three years at my elementary school.

When I started my studies at high school two years ago, I could choose the second language by myself. English was required as the first language for everyone, but you could choose the second language - German, French, Russian or Spanish. I chose the last one, because I always found Spanish very interesting.

So... I speak Slovak (my birth language), Czech (which is very similar) and East Slovak dialect. I also understand Polish as it is similar to our dialect. And as I mentioned above, I've studied English for almost 10 years and I know basics of German and Spanish. So I try to do my best when I use them. :D
