I've always been impressed by high profiecency level in many(at least three) languages.
The fact that some people learn languages that are spoken rarely or far from their homes just proves that people study languages for various reasons, not only for practical ones. So I won't be impressed just because someone is learning an exotic language. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

With its 70 million speakers, it's hardly an obscure language ;). 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Very, true, BUT... It's not a language that many people seem to learn. Even though they have much less speakers, people seem learn more Hebrew, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian or Finnish on here than, say, Turkish. What is even more extreme is the fact that many Indic languages have 30 + million native speakers, yet hardly any of these languages is learnt here. Or who do you know that studies Telugu or Malayalam? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Thx for the shout-out Cordelia, though I'm sure I'm not the only Romanian learner here. I would still definitely defer to anyone who is learning a tribal or native american language. I know there are some...

I was definitely intrigued when I saw the languages apparition is working on. Among them:
Polish Icelandic Persian Albanian Gujarati Turkish I am always impressed by someone who has acquired skill in a foreign language, but there is something compelling about a person who tackles a language that is a little more offbeat and rare.
