Education I vant to Learn anuzzer Language!

Lucky bugger. I've spent literally my entire life learning higher and higher levels of understanding about just the english language - I've tried since and it's so ingrained I just can't learn anything else.

If you've got a knack for it then go crazy: Japanese or Esperanto!

 

This is why I hang out here.

 

<drops bra now> would have been more appropriate, nothing wrong with a bit of foreplay before going in.

Oh, and my vote goes for German, I only speak a bit, but once you learn the major rules it's easy to learn languages such as Dutch, Finnish & Meänkieli (swedish). they could come in useful in the Red Light district

 

grrr hate all you bi and multi lingual people. I can't even get a good grasp on french .

But if it were me i would pick something really obscure. Like an ancient or dead language or portugese.

 

I heartily recommend Pig Latin!

 

Lol.

So I suppose the general consensus is that if I intend to stay in Europe, then I should go German, and in the interest of the late future, Mandarin and Japanese are worthy challenges.

Well it just happens that I have come across a series of textbooks and MP3 files, for learning Japanese, called Genki, which I'll give a shot. Will leave feedback as to how it works out...

Please go to rosettastone.com/tv and buy this CRAP so this guy will quit with the loud commercials. DirectTV has him on almost all the channels with commercials I happen to haunt. Thank the Power and the Presence that I have the no commercial channels too.

Id go for an Asian language like Japanese or Korean. i learnt Korean just so when some Korean's came up to me and started swearing id just tell them to F off in their own language! German seems good to!

 

I did some Latin.That was awesome fun and it wasnt that difficult either. Plus it impresses people.

 

Aside from a high mass in the Catholic church, it really is a useful language if you want to do anything in Biology or zoology. They tend to use Latin for names of STUFF!

One of my friends teaches English as a second language, mainly to Asian exchange students. She speaks fluent Mandarin, but doesn't like to admit to it to avoid alienating the other language groups in her classes - although she's surprised more than one student who's tried to sneak a nasty comment past in their own language!

Edited to add:

I'm just waiting for a chance to quote that out of context...

 

I speak Malay and English.

I'm thinking of picking up Mandarin so that I can confront the Sichuan Palace restaurant for passing off orange chicken as tangerine chicken. Wait. Where did that come from.

 

Post it whenever Bindi posts a review of hardware...

 

Try Genkijapan.net. I'm using it and it's well worth it.

There's a nice one to twenty lesson from them:

 

If you already know some German that may be the one to do next as it's not that hard a language to learn if you know English. Then probably Spanish and then Mandarin I reckon.

For some mental reason I started learning Icelandic a while back. Iceland is one of the few places I'd like to go to so it seemed to make sense. It's a weirdly fascinating language. They never take words from other languages, they make up new Icelandic ones instead. I should be doing Ancient Greek & Latin next year as part of my OU studies, I'd love to properly study Ogham at some point too. I spend an awful lot of my time at http://www.ancientscripts.com/

 

Frysk! No women can resist a guy that speaks Frysk

 

400,000 users in and around Ljouwert speaking a language can't be wrong. Put it on the list here. Good call.

I speak English and French, i should learn Spanish (for school) but i just hate it.
Learning a language in books is just un-useful for me :S.

French is my mother language, i learnt English by watching Cartoons, travelling and other stuffs. Not grabing a book and reading about it .
