I’m still confused, however, over the Romance Languages… there is such a term? what are these?

Examples: Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Occitan and Catalan. Counterexamples among European languages: English, German, Dutch, Russian etc. Check the wiki entry for "Romance languages" or, even better, any introductory book on linguistics.

I don't think is such a good environment for learning a foreign (non-english) language: - Long hours work - The best way to learn a foreign language is to hear it spoken everyday; in Singapore one hears english, singlish, mandsinglish, malayglish, hokkiendarin, cantonedarin; one would be confused.
