which language (besides the ones you know) would you like to learn?
I started Spanish, and it's something I've got to finish because of how useful it is where I live in So Cal. But after I learn that, I'd love to learn Polish! (And it's not just so I can speak to Piter better, haha). My heritage is English, Czech, German, Norweigen and Polish. And Polish is the part I embrace the most. I know Polish are laughed at a lot, but all those jokes are wrong! haha. So yeah... I really want to speak Polish!

There were two Polish guys, standing around their convertible, worrying because they'd left their keys in the car. Then, they started to panic because it was supposed to rain and the top was down.
Just kidding. We love 'em Poles.
J'adore le Francais. (Need help with that, Joe KY.)

Japanese, hands down. Then Russian.

i know a couple of swear words, but that's about it :-P i'd like to have a conversation with my Nana in Italian, that would be uber cool.

Omg...I've never heard anyone else use that word before. We call my Italian grandma "Nana" as a derivative of the italian word "nona" (which I've beent old means "grandmother"). She doesn't remember any Italian, though :( ...she says that when she was little, she was growing up bilingual, but then kids at school made fun of her and she stopped speaking Italian... :(
I want to be able to speak Latin fluently, even though it's dead conversationally. German, of course, would also be fun, as would Romanian. Maybe Old English, too (Old English is actually a sort of derivative of Icelandic; it's not the Shakespearean stuff you think it is).
-
Bullshit!
Two professors at UK speak Latin, fluently. They're the ones who put out the Latin version of "That Cat in the Hat." Even though it's only TWO people, it's still well :\ alive. Plus . . . the use of Latin in science and medicine? How can you people say it's dead!
Crazy.

over here Nana is used quite commonly... I have a Nana and everyone I know has a Nana, it's usually your fathers mother for some reason

I SO read the title of this poll wrong!
Sorry!!
I'd like to learn Japanese, I've tried but it's really hard. :?
-
I already speak Spanish (d'uh), English and French and I'm trying to learn German and Italian (the first cos it's useful and the second cos it's easy and well... Italian guys? :P) Some years ago I was taught some Korean and spoke a little and wrote a little but didn't continue with it so I've forgotten it all. I guess I'll stick to German and Italian for now.

I think compared to a lot of other countries, America isn't that great when it comes to languages. We're sposed to learn another language, but how many people actually become fluent in it? Atleast, most the people I know only know English, and maybe a bit of another language, but not much. But in some countries like Estonia, most people speak Estonian, Russian, Swedish AND English! I wish I could speak a lot of languages, but i'm so bad at it!

Yeah, here its the same too- its disgraceful- i am so ashamed of the English for it. In France they have to do Science and Maths lessons (and sometimes other ones like Philosophy) completely in English. People in other countries actually make an EFFORT because they don't have it as easy as us- we just expect everyone to know English because its 'the language of power'. Its so awful!
-
I speak some spanish, or I pretend to be able to... after taking it for 5 years in highschool. Thank goodness I'll actually be taking a real spanish course... in college in the fall. Maybe then I'll actually speak semi-fluently. Then I'll take my trip to SPAIN :wink: I know a liiiittle bit of French as well, very very little, my friend has been trying to teach me.

this is true. i think it's because most of us don't need to know another language since we're not put in to a setting where it's needed. like, when i was taking french it never really clicked until we went to old quebec city and that's all anyone ever spoke. that's when i got it.....if that made any sense :-P

Good answer.
-
True answer.
Also - we're not afraid to say what we think or what's true (or maybe that's just me). It's not our (my) problem if someone gets the wrong end of the stick.
-
EXACTLY!
I think about that ALL the time. Like, when I say something that sounds grammatically incorrect, but - since I'm me - I know it's right, I'm always afraid that someone's gonna hear me and be like, "Wow. Retard." But then I hope that if that DID ever happen and they didn't say something to me so that I could prove him or her wrong, somewhere down the road they'd be talking to someone and that person'd say something contrary to . . . yeah. What my enemy's original thought was.

EXACTLY!
Here comes my quote of the week again... Great minds think alike!! :wink:

Welsh. I know there's languages that would be more useful for me to learn;
the appeal is b/c of my Welsh heritage - and being able to sing in Welsh :P

I'd love to learn Japanese. At least, speak it but not write it -too much complicated with kanjis.
I speak a bit of Latin. I study it at school. I've also studied ancient Greek, and I loved it, but the teacher was an old bitch, so the whole class is gonna leave it. Apart of that, I study Spanish, Galician (the official languages), English and French.
Bye!

I can speak English and Spanish. I am learning French, I am going to be in French 3H this coming year and hope to go onto AP, but its going to be really hard. I like French though, so we will see.
-
I speak French very well because I live in Paris since my birth. I speak a little English and I speak German too because I teach German in my school and I find German easy !

You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon.

Crazy.
A dead language is a language that has ceased from becoming one that children grow up to learn as their native language. Therefore, Latin is a dead language.
-
At least we still have Latin and can still learn it and use it. There are lots of languages that are gone forever because they weren't well recorded or their records have been lost and now we can no longer learn enough of them to speak them again as they once were.
-
I of course speak English. I also speak Spanish. I can't however, write in Spanish. I can read like basic stuff but can't write it for nothing! I am currently about to finish my 3rd year of French in High School. I am taking French AP next year. Should be fun. However, with me learning French it has caused me to 'forget' Spanish at times. I moslty speak English with my family and friends.
-
Besides English, I speak Spanish which is my real language, to put it in words. French as well
