That's because most Croatian immigrants settled in California. ;) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm learning Mandarin and Spanish which I've neglected since I've moved to China. I suppose this
combination is common. Both languages are anyway, along with English which is an official language in the Philippines, the world's most widely-spoken languages, so they should be common. Filipinos generally find Spanish the easiest foreign language to learn and Mandarin is quickly gaining popularity.

Interesting! So are you learning it for professional reasons or just for fun? :)

In my federal state (= Bundesland) of Germany ist very uncommon to learn Danish, there are practically no Danes living in my region and the Danish border of Jutland is 400 km by air away from my city.

The longer I go, the more uncommon my combination gets.

Lithuanian Sign language is something that always surprises people I meet. The linguists have only started digging in it in 1996, and most people over here still have no clue of what it is. I keep hearing such things as "oooh, that hand-language-of-the-mutes" or "how come it's Lithuanian if it's international?". But the funniest thing is when people think that I speak Estonian (estų kalba) instead of sign language (gestų kalba).
By the way, what I miss in this forum on the profile section is the distinction of International Sign and the local Sign languages. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

In the U.S. Spanish is very common but earning a degree in the language isn't. Catalan
is very unusual for an American to study especially if he/she hasn't been to Catalonia or Valencia. 1 person has voted this message useful |
