If there was any language you could speak which would be?

[Syndef]

Ya'll gonna learn Chinese. (And when the pumps come out ya'll gonna speak Chinese).

If it's any language, I'd be happy with pretty any one of the languages of the UN security council: Arabic, Chinese, Russian, Spanish, French.

 

[Neurowaste]

French or Russian, well, more Russian, i need to learn my native country's language better.

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

It's a hard choice between German and Japanese.
I love German, it's a beautiful language, but most of the songs I listen to are Japanese, which is also a beautiful language... and then there are animes...
Damn, it would be one of those two, but I know more German than Japanese.

 

[caledonia]

Chinese Mandarin or Scottish Gaelic

 

[sephiroth1991]

Japanese

 

[Gaderael]

Gaelic. Such a beautiful language.

 

[The_Bearded_One]

I'd learn Mandarin. I am already tri-lingual though, and it's not fun. I speak English, Shona and Ndebele fluently and Afrikaans almost fluently.

Sign Language, since I then have at least a chance of finding someone who will understand me wherever I go.

Sign language differs from country to country. For example, UK sign language is very different to US sign language. So no luck there.

Oh. Odd, I'd always thought that was standard. Thanks for telling me before I actually took a sign language class. I mean, I probably still will, but now I won't be disappointed.

Sign languages vary just like spoken languages. If you learned ASL you wouldn't be able to just go to China, as an example, and speak with deaf people there that used sign to speak.

Kortney just told me that, but thank you anyway.

 

[Kaymish]

can we have a family of languages if so id have Indo-European language if not id have to go for Russian it looks interesting

 

[Legion]

Japanese, although it is not surprising that most people picked it really, although how many are actually putting the effort into learning it?

I have learnt Hiragana so far (as well as the basics including grammar etc.), now for the other two bloody alphabets...

Apart from Japanese I'd consider German and perhaps Russian.

 

[Space Cowgirl]

I'm in the process of learning Japanese, but I'd like to know Arabic, Latin, Hebrew, Mandarin, German, and maybe French. Quite the list, no?

Edit: Ah, a couple I forgot, Russian and ASL (American sign language) since there's the off chance that I'm going to meet someone that's deaf. And I actually know people who are deaf.

 

[bodyklok]

A really obscure dead language, then I'd teach it to people I know so that I could communicate without anyone being able to ease drop on what I'm saying.

 

[fer-sure]

I'd love to learn Ruski or Dutch, Russia and Holland are two places i definitely want to travel to at least once in my life, so it would be uber awesome if i went there able to speak/understand/read/write the language.

I am also infinitely in love with Mandarin Chinese, i don't dare dream that i will ever be completely fluent in reading/writing but i'd like to think that i will one day be able to speak and understand it easily. I don't care much for cantonese, which sounds mean, i know, but to me it just sounds so...choppy and unrefined. i love the way mandarin just seems to have a continuous flow of words that have an almost seamless blend, hearing it gives me the tingles =).

 

[Mr.Governor]

German,dummkopf.

 

[chase raynar]
