I've always been a fan of Korean series. I love the comedy taste of their stories. And most of the teen Korean actors are really cute. I super adore their eyes. So, for me to get a chance of interacting with them, when I visit their country, is to learn their language. I only know some of the greetings, like anyong hasaeyo. But, I'm looking forward to learning on how to construct sentences.How about you?

my wife knows how to speak spanish and japanese. she has friends who are married to japanese and when they are here for a visit i am always left out. though in exchange i an the one talking with my wife's friend. i learned a few words already and it is fun to hear that when they are talking i can understand few words already. i also enjoy watching anime so it is cool to learn a few japanese words.

Oh, you're a fan of Korean series. Me, I really want to learn Mandarin because just like you I'm also a fan. And There is one person that I really love and she's a Taiwanese celebrity. The reason why I want to learn this language is because of her. And I'm hoping for one day I could meet her to tell her my feelings, that I love her so much. I only know few Mandarin words but I'm still trying to learn more. ^o^

Learning a foreign language is really interesting. I love Spanish language even though I don't understand it. I would really like to learn Spanish. I watch many Spanish movies even if I don't understand what they are saying.

My mom is japanese and my dad is Canadian, so I was taught english and japanese while I grew up. I also took a ton of french classes in school, and a couple spanish.
I wouldn't say I'm 100% fluent in any of those, except for english, but I think it would be fun to continue earning french or try learning italian. I really love those "romance languages" from Europe. ^-^

I tried to learn Sami once, I think I would like to try again. They have to learn Norwegian (or Swedish or Finnish) so it should be possible the other way too. Or maybe Finnish, because then I would understand what all my Finnish friends say. Now I only understand it when they swear. I would also like to brush up my French and Icelandic so I can maybe do more than just read it.

I always love to learn new things and one of these is learning foreign language. I already studied elementary Spanish when I was in college but I have a desire to study more languages. hehe! Just like you I want to learn Korean. I've been also addicted to Korean movies and series. Maybe that's the reason why why I'd love to learn this language. Not only Korean but Japanese as well. I'm fond of watching animes and Jdorama as well and I even want to go to Japan! hehehe!

I know some foreign languages and I am foreign myself, but I am really in need to learn Russian, my fiance is Russian and even when he speaks good English, his parents are not very good at it, so the communication sometimes get tough.

i am really fascinated with Spanish. i can speak a bit of Latin American Spanish. i would like to be a master of the foreign language but it is often believe and also a proven fact that one have to be living in the country in the country for a specific period of time in order to properly master the language.Do you think this is true?

Spanish would be my first choice since that is a language that is spoken here in Texas and it would help me get paid higher for being bi-lingual in Spanish. I would also love to learn sign language, although it's not technically a foreign language. My third choice would be Chinese, since that would be a real challenge!

I would like to learn Spanish, because it's quite spread in the world, for example in Latin-America. It also sounds cool, I like the pronunciation.

~ Hi, gambamarcela! A very good question! WEll, first of all i want to tell you, that I am a teacher in German at the high-school and I like foreign languages very much. But till now I have only learned English( in the primary school and on the TV) and German at the high school and at the university! Now, I want to learn Vietnamese( because it is my father's language, and i have never learned it, which is very pity) and Hebrew, because it is very mysterious language and i like how it sounds. I don't like languages, which don't sound good, like Turkish for example- it is the worst "sounded" language I have ever heard!~

I love to learn other languages. I'm from Brazil, I just speak the portuguese and a little of English, but I wish I could speak german, 'cause I hear some bands from Germany and I fell in love with this, and japanese too, but I'm not a fan of this language, is just curiosity. I want to learn French too, 'cause I think it's a really beautiful language.
