Being fluent in German would make this last year of my degree easy :laugh: but in terms of ideal language, probably Russian - I'm (finally, hooray!) getting to learn it this year, having studied it when I was 17 for a few months, so I'm excited about that.

Spanish probably, mainly just because it'd be convenient with it being the 2nd most spoken language

I've never been that interested in learning Romance languages... I was good at French at school and I know bits and pieces of Spanish and Italian but I've always preferred harsher languages like German and Russian

Nothing to do with whether they're romance languages or not Spanish is just spoken in a lot more countries than Russian or German is

I know lol, I just mean it's not the language itself that I like but more that it's more useful than others

I studied it for a year or so about 3 years ago but I gave up, it's too damn difficult. I will eventually study again I guess, it's one of the things I want to do before I die haha. My favourite word is galuboi.

I'm surprised so many of you would like to be fluent in Spanish when everybody knows it just sounds like a badly spoken Portuguese. :idc:

I suppose Spanish would be the most useful outside of our own language

German and Japanese also

One time I spent 5 hours downloading Rosetta Stone for Portuguese and when I opened it and cracked it, it turned out to be Brazilian Portuguese, I was upset!

Chuck
08-08-2013, 02:56 PM
I can't even say that I don't like the ordinary Portuguese because I can't even understand it.

Chinese(my brother studied Cantonese and my grandad(whose from Hong Kong) speaks Mandarin) so both would be be good.

Also Italian because I want to travel around Italy and Portuguese because we go to Portugal a lot.

I can swear in Russian, does that count?

Would love to be able to speak French properly, I can understand what is said to me, but answering is a problem.

Maybe Italian and Romanian, want to visit Transylvania sometime and do the whole Bram Stoker thing! :D

Spanish, I love the language. I lived in Spain for 2 years and learned a little but nowhere near fluent. Living inland it was imperative to learn the language. I could speak a little and did manage to get by but yet I could never understand what the Spanish were saying back to me because they speak so fast.
