Irish, Persian, and Russian.
I adored learning Irish at school. I love the sounds, the structure of the language, and all its little quirks. I just wish that the orthography was more logical. I developed a strong interest in Iranian history and culture. When I started exploring the Persian language I fell in love with it. It sounds beautiful, has a long literary tradition, and studying it is more of a joy than an effort. I always liked Russian writers and Russia is a fascinating country. I started working on Russian with a lot of trepidation, but now I could not imagine stopping. It has been a hard fought battle to get to my current low level but there is no chance of me giving up on Russian. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

The more I learn about any language ever the harder it is for me to resist it. I would love to learn every language ever. I can not resist one of them, so I have to use various factors to define which ones I should learn.

Persian is an incredibly beautiful language and the more I learn about their way to express feelings and courtesies
the more I'm enchanted. At the end of december I decided to commit myself in language studies and I started to listen to different languages and I found myself involved in a terribly difficult decision: choose two languages to study until fluency. I decided for Mandarin and Persian. - Mandarin is a huge load of fun, I cannot describe it in a different way. - I found Arabic even more charming than Persian but I decided to study Persian because it's easier. I've never regretted my choice since I discovered I really love Persian, but now I have a fire burning inside me for Arabic!!! Another language that I'm loving it's French, I found both the written and spoken form so elegant and sweet... and I have the possibility to use it everyday in my workplace with native speakers that it represent a huge plus (and I'm doing it the more I gain confidence. Another language that I cannot resist to is Japanese. I have a crush for Japanese culture since I was 5 and I found it to be one of the sweetest languages of Earth. I therefore decided that I'll wait until June to study it (more I cannot resist, sorry). After the list can be really long... but for the moment these are my most beloved. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

There are many, many languages that I couldn't resist starting to learn. There are no languages that I couldn't resist learning to fluency.

I feel as if Mandarin is seducing me, and I've begun gather materials even though I still have a lot of work to do on
my Spanish; I want to stay focused on Spanish to push to higher levels for as long as I can. But Chinese opens up so much in terms of number of speakers, travel opportunities, culture, food, etc that I feel that it is definitely in my future. I guess I should say that travel is my top reason for studying languages. French is also on my hit list because of its colonial spread, and even though it's lower hanging fruit for a learner of Spanish it just doesn't have the same allure for me as Mandarin. 1 person has voted this message useful | |
