I am a native English speaker with a very basic background in Japanese and Spanish. I plan to take courses with a private tutor that is a native speaker of which ever language I decide to start with first and possibly a few hours of classroom time every week.
* My intent is to learn to speak and comprehend the new languages only, not read nor write them. Thanks!
