No bewilderment would happen. We are all used to our vietnamese speaking Czech. The older ones speak horribly (and don't understand at all when their shops are visited by the police :-D) but the young ones have Czech as their second native language and many of them study at universities in Czech. So, you would be probably considered to be just another of our vietnamese no matter your origin, because most Czechs just can't recognize the Chinese/Vietnamese/Japanese/Koreans/etc from each other (I can't as well). I am learning my languages for fun but which 10 would I crazily add: 1.Quenya or Sindarin. - I love the Lord of the Rings 2.Welsh - One of the source languages of Tolkien and it just sounds beautiful. And I have always loved the Celtes in the history. 3.Finnish - Again one of the source languages. It is so beautiful. And I love Nightwish 4.Swedish/Norwegian - I am definitely learning one of them this year. But I would like to add the other one as well in future. So many good books (and music) coming from the north. And those scandinavians are surely keeping many more for themselves, those greedy vikings! 5. Ancient Egyptian - another of my favourite history chapters. And I like Stargate (yes, that is not an intelligent reason, I know) 6.Latin - I know only basics and terminology. But it would be great to speak with another Latin loving friend in Latin. Or with other people. Making the dead language a bit less dead again. 7.Mandarin - The challenge of a tonal language. 8.Polish - High on my hitlist, tons of great literature. And they are neighbours after all, could be fun for many weekends. 9.Arabic or Hebrew - A semitic language, totally different sound and a nice script. 10. The Old Tongue from the Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. - I would even have a great use for it! But there are just isolated phrases and words known. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Czech or Slovak
Serbian or Croatian Swedish, Norwegian or Danish Dutch Hungarian That's pretty much it, I can't get to 10. I felt like learning German for fun in fact, it sounded beautiful and mysterious and that attracted me a lot. Realistically, I will probably go with Italian and Spanish next because I could use them, but not before my German is solid. I could see myself playing with Dutch or even Swedish one day, but I don't really believe I'm going to learn the languages above to the point where I can be comfortable in a conversation. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I don't think I would learn any language if it weren't fun, but languages that I don't
know or speak already (i.e. are on my speaks list) that I want to learn in the future and are fun to study, include the following: - Hebrew - Romanian - Breton - Icelandic (these four I am already studying) However, 10 other languages I would love to study/dabble in are: - Malagasy - Mandarin Chinese - Serbo-Croatian - Swahili - Portuguese - Finnish - Czech - Farsi - Greek - Tagalog. - Levantine Arabic. 1 person has voted this message useful |
