What languages do you wanna learn in your lifetime?


Bleakus Dear all, What languages do you wanna learn in your lifetime? mine would be..... 1. Russian 2. Hindi 3. Chinese 4. Japanese 5. Italian 6. German Last but not least Hebrew
shafique Arabic, Urdu, French and if I live long enough Latin. Bleakus
isnt latin a dead language now? shafique Latin is dead - but some great books were written in Latin - in fact all the languages I've listed are primarily so that I can read books in those languages. Thinking about it, I might add Persian before Latin though... should be easier to learn if I know Arabic and Urdu! Only just started learning Arabic though - so a long way to go yet! cheers, Shafique Nick81 1- Spanish 2- German 3- Japanese St.Lucifer 1.German German has the most written translations into and from a language 2.Latin Closeness to any Romance language so being able to speak what most of the americas,Europe n africa can understand. 3.Chinees Most commonly spoken language in the world. 4.Sanskrit Divinity and following the roots of civilization. I think that would b a tough task to learn these many itself.. zam Arabic (bec Im in the Middle East ) Farsi (just in case...) Other than these two I cant think of anything more...to be honest I cant see a reason for me to learn other language aside from what I already mentioned . poppy oh it has to be Arabic, without a doubt the most beautiful language in the world. i am passionate about it, i have to learn it. ...Ana baheb Arabi sage & onion Arabic French German Spanish Dutch Unfortunately I am a complete idiot when it comes to languages, I can dream though :lol: bushra21 Im already studying Hebrew, so that knocks one off my list. Italian, just because its such a lovely language -- so full of life. I also want to learn Lari, since my mums family is from there and while i know farsi and 3eemi, i should still know Lari. and ummm, thats all i can think of at the moment

sage & onion Studying Hebrew, now that is interesting. May I ask the purpose of your study? Nick81
Why would you want to learn Dutch?? No offense but I find it a barbaric language! Hurts my ears :lol: Or maybe it has something to do with the 9 hours I had to spend at $#%$%@ Schiphol each and every time I came back from L.A. .... Honestly I hate the damn language! Nick81
Lari?? Is it a dialect? Persian I presume? bushra21
Well my dad is originally from Palestine and I want to go there some day. The language in Israel is Hebrew as well as Arabic. Since I've got Arabic well under my belt I figured it would only make sense for me to know Hebrew...since I am Palestinian.
I like to be able to speak the languages of the countries that my parents come from. sage & onion
I must say it can at times seem a very harsh language (with the throat sounds) however I have made quite a few Dutch friends over the years and it would be good to reply to them in their own language. Corcovado 1-Italian "i love anything italian , food ,music , country ,men :oops: " 2- french "so $exy" sage & onion
Respect Bushra :D bushra21
i used to know french, then it started to fade away :cry:
i hope to bring it back after im done with Hebrew. Perhaps a stay in France for a couple months would help :idea:
oh and thank S&O :oops: Bleakus
you study it too, i have a book from the US "Hebrew for dummies", its kinda easy to pronounce because it arabic and hebrew are similar. How much do you know of hebrew dude?
Bleakus
it all started when i was with my family and we met with an isreali family in frisno, the guy's son was speaking to my father in correct arabic (old arabic), plus he was memorized the whole quran although he is jew.
Arabs and Isrealies have a bad history and i do consider them an enemy of mine.....if they make an effort in learning my language then i would make an effort to learn their language. bushra21
7bebi 7bebi 7bebi....im not a dude! lol
and i need a couple more months before i complete the program i have set for myself. i learn languages pretty easily so it takes me around 3-4 months to be able to be fluent in a language. it is really easy since its similar to arabic in pronunciation. right now though im reviewing my spanish since im being tested on that language in december. Chocoholic On this note if anyone knows of any Greek teachers then please let me know, I think it's about time I learnt this, although I'm terrible at learning languages. Nick81
:lol: :lol: Know what this reminded me of IMMEDIATELY?
“Know thy enemy and know thy self and you will win a hundred battles.”
Sun Tzu Wu Bleakus
when i mean dude, i mean in both sexes, so its all good
good luck on the spanish test in december, im still looking for someone to learn hebrew with :cry: bushra21
we can still learn it together...
:wink: Mi Ange mi Demon Italian it's so S.E.X.Y poppy
wat zeg je nou man?, Nederlands is een heel leuke taal...
(oh yeh, and your avatar is sooooo gorgeous...) Nick81
Aaaaargh! Even reading it gives me the creeps! I can still her Schiphol's female announcer voice in my nightmares!! I have no idea what she used to say but it drove me crazy!
EDIT: :oops: And thanks for the compliment... Good thing you missed my previous avatar... You might've been one of the persons to have a problem with it... :lol: poppy ermm, i vaguely remember it being a flag of an Arab country, with a 'twist', .... nah? and actually i used to hate the language too, but after living in Amsterdam for 10 + years, it sort of grew on me weary_heart i learned arabic, and now im back to my spanish lessons. later, it might be german, but i have to become fluent with the 2 languages first. sara_uk I want to learn Spanish. Iam lucky that I speak Arabic, I think Arabic is very beautiful language and I use to teach Arabic for free because I adore it, but I do not have time anymore. bushra21 i know spanish..... sara_uk
is it easy to learn?compared to french? bushra21 its very very very easy. i was able to carry on a conversation without troubles in about 2 months. i figured it was since i knew arabic, since there are many words that very similar. you shouldnt have a problem with it. its much simpler than french. Bleakus Does anybody know sign language here because that is awesome? bushra21 :oops: acctually i learned it with my sister. she knows it better than i do mraph33
I know a few words....well maybe only one.....and you know what's great about it.....you only need 1 finger!!!! Bleakus
the only thing is know how to say is....
"i want you to steal third" ;) sage & onion
:lol: :lol: :lol: Which kind of signs are you refering to? :lol: :lol: :lol: Bleakus
sign language ;) constantine i turn 30 in like 15 days... i know english, hindi, bengali,sindhi, a bit of urdu, and a bit of sanskrit(really little)... i dont think the remainder of my brains can handle another language :oops: ...before the hard drive totally crashes...hahahaha... but yes if i was not this ancient, i would ideally want to learn spanish, arabic and japanese.... FeiPo
Out of the 6 languages I speak 5 already!!!
Just kidding... I think Japanese and French are the 2 langauges I want to learn. FeiPo
hindi, bengali, sindhi and urdu <---- are these Dialetes or Languages? To me Mandarin and Cantonese are different dialets not different languages. constantine feipo nope...they are seperate languages...india has 150 languages and counting...i know 4 of them... :D Bleakus isnt tamol that hardest language in india? scarlet
Chocs if you buy an Greek book for beginners - i will bring you up to my level - read and write in greek and manage to get around the country. mraph33
I don't know....I've never tried to Spanish anyone. Palkid7 I would like to Know Esperanto, i know few sentences from a lnaguages course I took during my undergradute studies. but it is diificult !! i mena it is a combintation of like 3-4 languages !! So hello would be : Saluton Mi nomiĝas Palkid7: My name is Palkid7 !! that's all i know lol :lol: :lol: :lol: fayz Arabic constantine bleakus tamil aint the hardest...but it aint the easiest....i think for me the hardest was sanskrit...which is the purest of language...imagine the grammer of the french language combined with the subtle poetry of urdu...with the precision of mathematics...no wonder i scored 18/100 in sanskrit...haha Bleakus
wow that looks intense, but do they use that language anymore dubaiquote I want to learn Arabic. I better not do it in the UK probably think im a terrorisst lol St.Lucifer
Sadly.... very few use it.. or i should say its limited only to the religious rituals.
Its considered as the meta language.. Bleakus
same here, the traditional arabic is used only for formal stuff friiident i speak french :P but spanish too and english (even if for me i just try to speak english i have to improve it :oops: ) but i'd like to learn arabic japanese italian and russian just for fun lol Legendkiller
Ja...maar andere mensen worden gek van al die ggg...als je snapt wat ik bedoel :p...en eerlijk gezegd Duits is mooier taal :oops:

MilleDane I know: Danish(off course) English German Swedish And i can curse pretty good in Albanien I find it hard to keep upon them when they are not used regularly, but as it seems like im going to work in the Middle East things would probably be easier for me if i learned Arabic, but the next on the wish list was Spanish. With German English and Spanish, you'll be covered in most countries in the world. St.Lucifer
yea but may b just may b u'll not b able to get the essential things in one of the most populous countries in the world, and you'll not b able to bargain in another most populous contry in the world :) d3vilish_ang3l_88 well.. i knw english, arabic, and tagalog. i should learn spanish and chinese..cuz my mom know that language. oh..,n french...its jus a beautiful language ! :D mema German..i know the basics i wana be fluent French...i go there i need it Italian..just for fun improve my persian MilleDane
Your absolutely right, i don't think that i was clear enough! I am going to try and learn Arabic if luck strikes,and i get the chance to go there, but the next one (if i had ever started on it) was Spanish. uae75 Three languages i would love to learn: 1- URDU : I think its obvious why!! hehehe 2- FARSI : I think cuz of the same reason i wana learn URDU 3- Spanish: Its a beautiful language, how can i not want to learn it. But the question is, do i have the will to learn it!! Now thats another thing! Isn't there some kind of magic pill? :idea: westside 1 french cause itz the lanugage of love 2 arabic cause i live in the middle east 3 italin cause when i grow up ill goin the italin mafia sage & onion
Looks like westside has a ways to go yet :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Bleakus
french.....love has a language?...;) noni as many as my brain can handle ! rossbaku My Dad's wife is Azeri/Tatar/Russian and as she and her family speak Russian, I'd love to learn it. Also, my dad used to work/live in Azerbaijan for 4 years before moving to Dubai, so I fell in love with the place when I was visiting. Spanish as well, just because I like it and it's one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. I got my Standard Grade 1 in French a few years back and since then I can only remember the basics...and to think I was one of the top in my French class! :oops: Ross :D AnnaSvensson I was just thinking.....because there are so many people who want to learn various languages and we have here people who know them, why not open a learning forum. We already have "Arabic learning forum". How about other languages :?:
