Poll: Which Romance language would you like to learn?

[Nekromancer]

I would learn Italian because of wine and cheese. Or Latin because it just sounds badass.

First of all; welcome to the Escapist! Don't feed the trolls in the basement, stay friendly and everything will be a-okay.

Anyway, Italian tops that list for me too, closely followed by Spanish. Italian has this lyrical sound to it. Heated arguments almost sound like uptempo operas, the flow of words being so musical. I love it. Spanish simply sounds hot and passionate, the warmth already hides in the words itself.

Spanish. It's ubiquitous. In my opinion, French is rather boring. Like stale bread that has been garnished extravagantly, no offense to francophones and Frenchmen in the forum. Italian is interesting too.

 

[God'sFist]

French because I'm a pretentious fuckwad and was not aware that there were other love languages. By the way welcome to the escapeist beware the basement and make sure you visit the injustice league. we have cookies!

I'm not sure where captcha is trying to go with this one.

 

[Asita]

Oh Italian hands down. I just love the way it sounds.

 

[Zykon TheLich_v1legacy]

I speak French at a basic level anyway, so I'd have to go for Spanish. I went to Formentera and Ibiza last year with a few mates and I'd like to go back, but with the ability to communicate with the locals, I figure I'd get to do a lot more fun shit if I spoke the language. Also technivals in the Pyrenees.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

I'm already a native Spanish speaker.
I'd like to learn French next. Not particularly fond of the language but I reckon it would be the more useful of the remanining languages.

 

[viscomica]

I already know spanish and french and use them kind of regularly. I love how italian sounds (so sexy!) and portuguese always sounded really sweet to me so I'd learn either one of the two.
But Latin? Nope. I'll pass

 

[lacktheknack]

Latin.

For religious reasons.

Because I suck. xD

 

[chadachada123]

Latin, since it's the root of the rest and is a lot more, for lack of a better word, "formulaic" than normal languages. There's lots of implied meaning, but there's an order to it that makes it fun to read.

 

[crimson5pheonix]

Romance languages are silly what with all their tenses and their gendered verbs.

That being said, I know rudimentary Spanish because you can't exist in Texas without it.

 

[username sucks]

My boyfriend speaks French, and says stuff I don't understand all the time. Naturally, I decide that revenge is more important than mutual understanding, so I pick Spanish!

 

[Dimitriov]

I am already learning Latin because it's awesome. Just ask yourself this: when learning a language do want to be reading about buying bread in the market and how to ask where the bathroom is (admittedly this can be useful knowledge), or do want to read about the death of Cicero and about the Gallic wars?

Fun fact: Julius Caesar wrote his reports in the third person.

Also, Latin only has six tenses which is fewer than modern English.

 

[Thaluikhain]

Having learnt Italian, Spanish or Latin, is it not very easy to learn the others? Go 3 for 1.

 

[NeutralDrow]

Catalan, of course. The larger languages get too much of the attention as is.

(Except poor Romanian, I notice...)

 

[Godhead]

I learned French in Highschool, but because I hated learning a million tenses expand my language chops and take German for my college language requirements.

Spoiler

I'm terrible at language and have forgotten most everything I've learned

Spoiler

At least I learned that 2 beers tend to have the same caloric value as a Schnitzel and that my French teacher was a guild leader in LOTR Online.

Welcome to the Escapist as well, pretend that I've repeated the same "Welcome" bit, enjoy your stay.

Spoiler: But seriously stay out of the basement
