You should learn Russian

I do speak a little Russian (I should know a lot more of it though, as I've been learning it for almost 8 years ...-_-), and it's not hard to learn, but anyway...it doesn't really sound "good" either, more "interesting" :P
But knowing German, English, Spanish and Russian is a good mix if you ask me :D

[xglassbutterfly]

you're right, it is a good mix. it's just that I would want to invest my time in something I honestly feel I would have the chance to use someday, and somehow I don't think I'd speak Russian very often. =P

i seem to like languages with romance/germanic roots, though, so i've thought --> italian, portuguese, french or dutch

i love italian, but i am horrible at speaking it, and i've never liked french very much at all. *sigh*
i'm so hopeless. i wish i could try them all and see which one i like best. =P

[rushmoon]

Yeah French doesn't really sound good to me either. Kinda gay (not that that would be negative... I just don't really like the sound of it) :P
Portuguese is similar to Spanish so I don't think it'd be something completely new. And the same thing for Dutch, similar to German (at least I understand a lot of it when I hear people talking).

But hey, there are a lot of people in the world that do speak Russian! :p

[xglassbutterfly]

true!
portuguese is similar to spanish, but it's got french in it, too!
-__-
HAHA. (no disrespect to the language. i love languages, i just don't like how french sounds. then again, lots of them probably think english is the ugliest language ever.)

You would kick ass at Portuguese and Italian... with Spanish, they'd be sooo easy to learn for you. I can understand Portuguese and I've never taken a class in my life. I would personally like to learn Arabic someday... or at least study it a little bit. And of course, Japanese.

[xglassbutterfly]

we have arabic and japanese at my school. ;D

i've been thinking i'd go with portuguese, but i'm still not sure. i guess it'd be easier if i could take a class. (or, better yet, knew someone who spoke it) =/

[ti_ana]

I envy you... we barely have Arabic and Japanese at my university. :-P They offer them as non-credit courses, and recently they've begun to offer Arabic as a credit course, but I doubt it goes beyond two semesters. I'm hoping to take up Portuguese in grad school.

Dutch Dutch Dutch :D

[xglassbutterfly]

haha. i'll fly over there now and you can be my private tutor. ;D

[playincubus]

i'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to learn japanese! but i got "hindi" in that quiz -_- darn it i wanted "Japanese"...

anyway. learn what you thin is exciting, not what quizzes tell you.

[xglassbutterfly]

haha. true. =D

Uy, ruso...eso es muy difícil, qué quieres decir que cuando te decidiste por el español era 'no-brainer'. Mi oso estudio ruso durante la primaria y en realidad sabe poco, bueno sabe algo.

[xglassbutterfly]

sí...aún tiene su propio alfabeto. O_O
jaja
pues, cuando me decidí a aprender el español creo que era "no brainer" porque sabía que cualquier cosa que aprendería podría usar. pero ruso, no estoy tan segura si me entiendes. ;D

[vi_kka]

este....pues nop, ando como muy cerrada :(. y si tiene alfabeto propio, quieres decir con lo del español que no la pensaste mucho para aprenderlo, porque sabías que le ibas a encontrar utilidad inmediata?
besos. ojalá haya pescado el significado o tu intención.

[xglassbutterfly]

pues...casi.
es la verdad que no la pensé mucho para aprenderlo porque lo había aprendido desde que estaba en la escuela secundaria.
era "no brainer" porque ya sabía que quería aprenderlo.

jaja..¿ahora me entiendes mejor?

(y gracias por ser paciente conmigo y mi español porque sé que a veces unas cosas que digo no dan sentido) =)
