French is the noble horse that I have trained and refined to attempt to perfect a language learning technique and Chinese is the formidable dragon that we will attempt to slay

I'm obsessed with Hebrew. It's insane.

Mandarin Chinese - because i'm now living in Taiwan and it would be easier for me and the
natives for me to speak to them in Chinese. Only problem is the area i'm in, the natives speak more in Taiwanese than Mandarin. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

This is great, it means the language is extremely vital, unlike Irish in Ireland. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Come to think of it it's terribly hard for me to think of a language I could resist.

Asian tonal languages, some sort of "take that" in my mind to those who think they are too foreign.
Classical Chinese feels like a nice code to read, some read it with their native phonemes, I wonder if I could apply western phonemes. I love German and its feel, like an older cousin to my native English, a cousin one looks up to and looks forward to visiting. Ancient Greek is an interesting subject to me, Sanskrit (Vedic especially being the oldest written IE language) also interests me now but I seem to be able to find more in Latin concerning the vernacular colloquial tongue, and Old Chinese from Confucian time seems to only be in Classical. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hebrew. It sounds so beautiful and romantic to me. In my opinion it sounds much nicer than even French (which many people tend to rate as the nicest sounding language) and I can even go as far as saying that it is my favourite language. I love the sounds, the structure of the language... everything. I am absolutely, definitely, positively, unquestionably, beyond any doubt, unconditionally in love with this language.
