With that path, Esperanto might save one some time in realizing the goal. For me personally, there must be some practical benefit to continue the ongoing time investment. That will trump other motivations, perhaps even the original goal itself. Edited by luke on 23 August 2008 at 11:22am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I think mine would be
1. English (Mother Language) 2. Italian (second language - family etc) 3. Japanese 4. French 5. Chinese 6. Spanish 7. German 8. Russian 9. Arabic 10. I'm not too sure Irish Gaelic (heritage) or perhaps Portuguese to round out the Romance languages.. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'd probably go for:
1. Italian (mothertongue) 2. English (well, it's pretty much the most important language in the world, so) 3. Japanese (I have a passion for the language and culture) 4. Chinese (same as above, coupled with possible job advantages in the future as a translator) 5. Korean (I enjoy it from the purely linguistical point of view, my personal experience with Korean people has been very nice and it would make sense to know all three major East Asian languages given my strong interest in the area) 6. Arabic (I am convinced Arab/Muslim culture will play a huge role in the future developments in the whole world, and I want to understand it for myself) 7. Russian (very elegant language) 8. Portuguese (the only Romance language I actually enjoy) 9. Hebrew (I very much like the language, and I am interested in Jewish culture) 10. French (I don't particularly like the language, but I already had to study it and my passive level is already decent, so why not) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
