Answer 1

Well hopefully a native speaker will weigh in but I would say that you don't need 'con' in the first part of your sentences because you are not saying how 'you' are fascinated with - but rather how 'they' fascinate you.

Then for the second part as I see it there is no need for the 'les' trabajan - firstly the 'les' and secondly 'to work' in this case would be funcionar.

So I would say:

A mí me fascinan los otros lenguas y como funcionan.

Edit: (thanks to Julian ) - here's a better translation:

A mí me fascinan las lenguas ajenas y como funcionan

I hope that gives you a couple of clues but I am still learning myself so would suggest that you wait for confirmation

Hi, MC. How about "A mí me facinan las lenguas ajenas y como funcionan" - 005faa61, Feb 19, 2011
