Which language would you like to learn?

[REDY]

Where is English?

Well I will take French.

 

[philippe]

I would like to be well-versed in Older french, just becuase it's so damn difficult

 

[Stapel]

Tycoon, if you learn to speak Jewish, you;ll be screwed over in Israel, but do well in jewish parts of poland or certain ashkenazi areas of north america. only old people speak Jewish (Yiddish) either way. Hebrew is the way to go.

Isn't Ivrit the right term?

 

[TheLastOne36]

Sergei, how much vodka did you drink?

I don't think you understand my point. For example, western slavic languages are similar to each other, like polish - slovak- czech etc. Same with southern and eastern slavic languages, but when you are comparing Polish to serbian to ukrainian it is world's different.

 

[jeps]

Isn't Ivrit the right term?

why yes it is. ivrit is hebrew in hebrew. like français is french in french.

jewish/yiddish is a completely separate language.

 

[Ace of Gold]

Learning French right now

Italian will be my next language

 

[Mirc]

Latin is what I would like most.

Spanish, Russian and Arabic is what I could use most, IMHO.

 

[alcal]

Latin is what I would like most.

I've learnt it, and believe me i've wasted 5 years of my life...

 

[Mirc]

No, I don't believe you. I like it.

 

[Bast]

There is barely any jews left in Poland, almost all left to israel/north america, were killed or were taken by the soviets to siberia after WWII.

Jews in Poland? Isn't that like the unicorn or leprechaun?

I've learnt it, and believe me i've wasted 5 years of my life...

Sweetie, just be glad you have a cute face in your avatar to distract me.

why yes it is. ivrit is hebrew in hebrew. like français is french in french.

Yes, Yiddish is an Indo-European Germanic language, just like Ladino was an Indo-European Italic/Romance language. Both were written in Hebrew characters but the grammatical structure was more similar to German or Spanish. Whereas Hebrew is a Semitic language.

It's interesting, I was reading that Hebrew has SVO structure like English and there are no declensions and the sentence structure is very similar to English. Should make it easier to learn it once you've mastered the Alephbet.

 

[Sharwood]

No, I don't believe you. I like it.

That is because you are, as we say in Latin, a dorkus, malorkus.

 

[alcal]

No, I don't believe you. I like it.

Well, once you've learnt it, we can organize a roman party. What do you think?

It made life SO much easier for me. . unlike french, i could write out an essay in english then translate it if I was strapped for time. its great. Subject (1/10) verbs (pick a tense, and 1/7 forms) (et) object is amazing.

 

[TheLastOne36]

Oh yes, i have to squeeze in Latin in my future languages at some point in time.

 

[Cashie]

ahhh... currently learning Mandarin.
As far as really want to learn, maybe Latin, Sanskrit, another Chinese language or some sort of Gaelic.

Have previously had some experience with French, Korean and bits of Japanese & German. Oh, German would be ok, too.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

I want to learn French, Chinese, and Greek.

 

[West 36]

French or Russian for sure. I chose French because it'll probably be more useful to me.
I have English down pat, and a good amount of German.

 

[Gilder]

French, German, Dutch, Korean, Japanese, Greek, Arabic, Russian, and Farsi.

I sadly have no knack for language. Or maybe I just had bad teachers.

 

[Quintillus]

Italian. I've always considered learning it, and would certainly like to travel to Italy and be able to speak Italian, but elected for Russian this time around when I had a choice - a decision I have been happy with.
