Thank you for that cool link! I'd never heard of Dnghu before. I can see myself spending many happy hours reading and rereading their website. Regards, Pete 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Everything already on my list has some element of "for fun" in it lol...
In descending order of importance to me: Japanese, Mandarin, Spanish, Korean, Indonesian, German, Cantonese, Ainu, Klingon, and maybe Thai... but pretty much after Spanish, I dont really care to take them into the B range even. If I do get there its bonus, but as of now thats my importance 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Materials for Ainu would be fun to acquire, though I imagine most of them are in Japanese (which is on my list, although one that's further down the pike).

Sawhili: sounds lovely. Fun to speak? Hakuna matata
Korean: one of the most difficult - for fun! Czech: a Czech fellow assures me I will never make their 5 different r Tagalog: to eavesdrop hundreds of thousands of Filipino workers around Malay: to acquire the ability to overhear the Indonesians Māori: Pōkarekare ana, ngā wai o Waiapu; Whiti atu koe hine, marino ana e Sign Language: I wish I had the time. Should be both funny and inspiring Elvish: quite obvious isn't it? Finnish: for pure fun this is my first pick! And the last candidate is - Cantonese. On a sunny day, mild wind, while my fellow and I walking down the street, they out of the blue found me unintelligible, for 30 seconds. It turned out to be that I had been mispronouncing a word for 20 years. But that was not what caught my attention... By the way, I have an affection for: Classical Chinese/Japanese/German/Russian/Italian Persian/Sanskrit/Greek/Arabic/Latin Edited by Paco on 03 May 2013 at 10:08am 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

7 years later two of these languages are in the lineup. I think that my practical and professional needs being fulfilled by English means that any languages that I study can only be fun ones. Future languages (which very likely would be "fun" ones using the same logic) on the list are: 1) Afrikaans 2) Azeri 3) Kazakh 4) Macedonian 5) Mongolian 6) Rusyn 7) Uzbek I can't make the list longer than that for the time being since other languages seem like they'd be too much of a chore. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Update: Finnish Hungarian Aramaic Swedish Norwegian Old English Hebrew (Modern and Biblical) American Sign Language Nahuatl Lakota Quechua I'm cheating a bit though because some of those languages are ones I hope to use professionally, not just strictly for fun. This list is of course subject to change. They usually are. :-) 1 person has voted this message useful |
