<p>Inspired by the thread about which languages people speak . . . . </p>
<p>If you could start to learn any language in the world, which language would it be and why? When would you want to start learning it by, and how fluent do you want to become?</p>
<p>I think I'd want to learn, well, conversational/spoken Italian, just because its so similar to Spanish that I think it would be easy to pick up, and conversational Mandarin because that is becoming the most popular language in the world.</p>
<p>latin for sure. and of course hieroglyphics.</p>
<p>Definitely Italian. I find the language so beautiful.</p>
<p>Korean, because I’m interested in North Korea. (<em>awkward glance at username</em>)</p>
<p>I just started my Japanese studies this year. I’d also love to learn Korean, French, and Italian. I already speak Spanish.</p>
<p>Languages just really interest me.</p>
<p>German.
Swedish or dutch if it were more widely spoken.</p>
<p>I wanna know Spanish, French, and Arabic by the time I’m 30.</p>
<p>I mentioned some of this in the other thread, but I’d like to learn Italian, Latin, Icelandic, Irish, Hebrew, and Arabic…I could probably come up with more eventually but that looks good enough for now. I know Icelandic is a little strange, but I love the accent.</p>
<p>I already know Spanish, Cantonese, and Mandarin… so…</p>
<p>Latin. Yes. After that… Japanese. And then German?</p>
<p>Lol, I think I’m the only one who only knows English on this website…I’m took Spanish last year as a freshmen but i don’t have it again until the spring so I’ve kind of forgotten everything.
I’ve always been fascinated by different languages and tried on several occasions to start learning, but have had trouble sticking with it. I really want to learn French because that’s what my grandparents speak (we are French Canadian) but I haven’t been able to find a good program to learn.
I would also love to learn more unique languages such as Macedonian or Urdu, or possibly cool ones like Ancient Greek or Old Babylonian.</p>
<p>I want to become fluent in Spanish, French, and Japanese. I’m closest in Spanish, then French, and I don’t know any Japanese.</p>
<p>I guess knowing ASL and Mandarin could be useful.</p>
<p>I’m taking French right now, but I’d really like to learn Spanish eventually. And I’d definitely like to learn some Italian.</p>
<p>I would wanna learn German, it souds angry lol</p>
<p>Definitely Ter Sami, even if I won’t be able to talk to anyone in about fifty years :P</p>
<p>I want to go to North Korea so much.</p>
<p>Anyway I’m already taking Japanese so my second dream language is either Arabic or French. I’ll probably take French in college as a minor.</p>
<p>Ooohhh. I didn’t think about ASL. That too</p>
<p>Japanese, Korean, Yiddish, Hebrew, some Latin definitely, and probably Swedish. However, I gotta get through German, Spanish, and French before I can get to those other languages. >_<</p>
<p>I’m not sure if I’m allowed to post links or not, but for anyone interested in getting into Italian a little, google iluss or iluss.it, where you can find some free lessons & exercises for all levels of Italian study. I found it last night and it looks like a good resource I can work from in my spare time. :]</p>
<p>@iwaitz4u, ditto on that one. I’ve been wanting to learn Ter Sami just to resurrect it. unfortunately, 50 years seems unrealistic, considering there are only 2 speakers left, neither of whom is under 70.</p>
<p>I’d like to get fluent in Arabic and French since I’ve started them…I have a long list of languages, actually.</p>
