I like the amazing amount of culture from the Spanish-speaking world, but there's just something about the sound of the language that turns me off. Maybe it's because I was force-fed Spanish in school -I'm not too fond of Irish either, and that's the other language I had to learn as a child.

Most of the auxiliary/constructed languages, such as Interlingua or Klingon, don't interest me right now. I also doubt I'll ever learn any of the 800 languages spoken in Papua New Guinea; I think most of them are unwritten and could only be learned by total immersion.

First I did not want to learn Arabic. I had no interest in the language at all. I have been talking to a muslim (who obviously speaks Arabic) and now I am intrigued by the language. I would love to learn it when I have finished the languages I'm learning now.
I am not very inclined to learn Esperanto or any other artificial language. I would like to tackle Finnish & Hungarian too, but it seems too difficult to me. I don't know! In the time I would have learnt those languages, I would be fluent in twice as many easier ones! Anyway, it's an interesting discussion. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

The last language I would learn?
Well, I really don't want to learn Esperanto. It isn't difficult. The grammar is very simple. But it's useless... I don't want to learn Spanish or French, either. I don't like how they sound. Edited by Blaziken on 03 December 2009 at 10:15pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Icelandic is a bad example, considering that it gets you very close to being able to read the Sagas. Plus, if you ever feel like studying Old Norse linguistics, or even Germanic linguistics, you need Icelandic. 5 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I think he clearly stated that his reward is speakers he can converse with, not literature or linguistics.

English.
Where's the fun in learning a language I already speak as a native? 4 persons have voted this message useful |
