I just thought I would introduce myself on here. I recently became interested in languages after being forced through the gritty course of high school Spanish. I still have my senior year ahead of me but since Spanish did not fit into my schedule I had to drop it. At first I was relieved I would never have to take a language again. But since then I have realized I actually have a passion for languages and I would like to have an understanding of a few other then my native tongue of English. So this summer I have picked up Turkish. I am studying it on my own as well as practicing with my Turkish friends who are here for the summer. I would also like to pursue Spanish some more on my own to solidify my knowledge as I have already had two years of it. I have a very very basic understanding of French, BASIC. When I begin college in a little over a year I would like to study German.

So the languages in order of priority would be:

Turkish
German
Spanish
French

and I would also like to learn some Japanese, Italian and possibly Korean at some point.

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from anyone!

Hi, Nate. Welcome to the forum.

I'm sure you're hit list of languages will grow over time. Mine sure have since joining this forum and learning about how much other people have enjoyed learning different languages.

Good luck with your Turkish studies.

Hello and welcome!

As Michael said it will grow over time, trust me it shall, everyone who loves languages simply cannot stop learning. I have known many people who uttered '' I'll learn up to 5 or 6 languages and that's all'', after they learn them they change their minds completely; '' 5 languages!!?Who the heck can live with just 5 languages?!That's knowing nothing, I need 20 at least!'' :D

When it happens that your list grows, pick Polish, Greek and Icelandic, you will love them :) And Japanese has indeed a complicated grammar, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes easier.
