If you could speak another language what would it be?

I think I would speak Spanish because my relatives speak it and I think my mom is talking to my grandma and she says things about me but I won't know what she is saying. Though, I would like to learn a pretty language that sounds nice, like Italian or French. Sometimes I pretend to speak French!

there are actually a few languages I'd love to learn..Patios, Italian, Spanish being the key three on my list as well as Latin....I'd also like to relearn French too but its not a key one for me LOL

right now I am self learning irish and german. I have taken french,spanish and latin courses. If I could speak any other language it would be irish. Learning a new language is a struggle for me cause I am hearing impaired but I do try.

I pick up languages very quickly and can speak quite a few languages (including various dialects). I can speak,read and write Arabic and a few Indian languages too (besides English). I prefer learning the local language wherever I go and use it as much as I can...even when I can get by with English or Hindi (btw...though I am Indian, Hindi is not my mother tongue and it's a language I learnt). hmmm...one year in India and now in Egypt? Rings a bell...I think James72(mylot) was also in India for a year and is now in Egypt. I loved Egypt and was just wondering last week if it is the same as when I visited 26 years ago...I'm sure there must be lots of changes (which you couldn't possibly know about).

Interesting! I would want to learn Spanish since it would be easier for me cuz some of our words here in the Philippines were derived from the Spanish words. But I like to learn French. It seems like a very difficult language to learn. I like how it sounds and it's pretty amazing when you hear people speaking in french. It feels like they are very romantic. lol.. Maybe it's just my imagination.

Right now, I can understand Arabic, but I can't speak it. If I could speak any language, it would have to be Japanese because I'm in love with the country Japan!

Hi Cjay, Do you belongs to India. If yes, from which state. In your discussion you wrote that you lived in India only one year. During the period, which place you lived in India. I know three languages. One is my mother tongue and second is our national language and third is English. I like to learn other languages but I am lazy and these three languages are enough for me to survive. When it is a case of survival you automatically try to learn Arabic also. So try from today itself. All the best.

I will like to speak Japanese language and I will be willing to learn it. I think learning Japanese will be fun to do.

I would like to learn more Spanish. I had an uncle who married an Argentine lady, they had three sons. He was already a teacher in England, when he met an Argentine teacher who had come to London to 'bone' up on her English. They met, moved to Argentina and set up home there. I think he was quite embarrassed when I went to visit him there, as my Spanish was not to a terribly good standard. "Me ablo un poco de Espanol" - hope that's spelt right! It is true, that for anyone, whose native language is English, because it's the international language, it makes us very lazy to learn other languages. I never regret learning all the Spanish I did those, as it can be quite interesting, especially when in London, to overhear what Spanish speaking people are saying. Sometimes, I'm surprised how much I can understand, when they are speaking to each other! If I was to do a lot of travelling again, would certainly make an effort, if I was dealing with one or two particular languages to learn as much as I could!

i am havin the same problem as you do fren.. i am a newar and being a newar i dun noe newari language and in my family no one uses it till any occasion and i am the only one who doesn't noe newari and my frens are from different casts and always speak their mother tongue i feel really boor..

I would love to know and speak "Assamese language".I like their language accent.I am also learning from some of my few Assamese friends.

Well if I had a situation in front of me to where I needed to learn another language because I moved to an area where they sppke another one even though it is not easy to learn a different language I would try to learn the new language. It would be a challenge but I would try my best. Everyone is different so it just depends on how you feel.

I took Spanish in high school but as I can't seem to 'roll my tongue' I got a D. I tried hard! I'd love to be able to get past that. I can understand it and even read and write some of it but to speak it... nope. I fail. ;)

I know a little Japanese as a second language. if we want to know deeply another coutry, local language will be a best helpful method. I will try to learn more if possible, that not means, I want to be a linguist,just want to communicate with other different people and culture in world. enjoy your mylotting.

Probably Spanish, if I could go out of the country I would want to go to South America, so Spanish would be helpful.

hi there, i would like to speak French for they say it is a language of love or Spanish perhaps, for a lot of people knows how to speak Spanish it was even thought in school when my parents are still schooling but i really don't know why it was taken from the school curriculum. :)

hi friend, iam from India i know only tamil and english. take care have a nice day.

hi cjay, i am from India and i know five Indian languages. i know only English when it comes to foreign languages. i am actually thinking of learning French or Spanish as my brother advised me to learn anyone of these as it is very much necessary. thanks for sharing. happy mylotting!

I would love to learn japanese as I have heard it is the toughest language and I actually feel proud of my sis in law as she is learning. Regards

I would like to understand and learn japanese because i just love anime and sometimes when there are no subtitles i just couldnt understand it and also those comic type books that they have which is manga i really love to read one but it is pretty hard to understand because it is written in japanese you can just think on what the characters are doing based on the picture on the manga,hope your satisfied with my response,have a nice day.
