Any language that's not marginally useful. Pretty much any Native American language, for
instance. I could put up with struggling through a difficult language if I knew I'd get to use it. Edited by Yishay on 24 November 2009 at 12:19am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Any language with a small amount of speakers and/or lacking learning materials or media.
i.e. most Native American and African languages I can also say I would never learn French, Vietnamese, Thai, Korean, and Esperanto or other artificial languages. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Strange. I really love the sound of Croatian. And it is useful - it (albeit under different names) is official language in 4 countries and you can get along with it in many other Slavonian countries. You can probably successfully use it to communicate even with people speaking Russian. And Croatia is one of the best places in Europe to go sailing. I would love to learn it - if I had time.

Who came up with this idea? :) I actually have think about this now. That comes down to if you have to learn to write it as well. Then in that case, I probably won't want to learn any of the languages that has writing that looks like an art. The challanges out weight my interest for them. I'm talking mainly the language of the east

Spanish. It's the only language I truly dislike.

Why do you dislike it? Well I'm in the process of learning Spanish but I find it to be a very annoying language, i like it but i hate it at the same time, I bet i hate it from the constant nagging from other hispanics that "Your hispanic and you don't speak Spanish?" I wouldn't really like to learn the really hard languages with very little reward (my reward is speakers i can converse with) Something like icelandic.

Esperanto. It's so artificial and unnatural.
(If you have read all the 22 pages, Esperanto has the most votes, including mine :P) 5 persons have voted this message useful | |||

If I had the time, I would probably like to learn some lesser studied languages, like Inuktitut or Wolof. So I wouldn't rule those out. However, of all the languages that I can think of Esperanto would be a definite no. No interest at all.
