GingerCat Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I'm curious about why you chose to learn a foreign language? It seems like we all have different motivations and things that piqued our interest. For me, I have to admit, although it is a little silly, I mostly wanted to learn French because I find the accent sexy. However, I have also always wanted to travel to France, so it did seem to follow naturally that I should learn the language. I hope to travel there in a year or two, when I have the money. I have studied it off and on for several years now, with some sad lapses in study. I am coming here to try to start refreshing myself and learning again.

ornstein Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Haha, no worries. There are many others that are like-minded. But in the end, all that matters is that you're motivated to learn a language. Which is excellent! And I hope you do go to France one day - so, good luck! As for my reason, it's quite simple. Enriching myself; and by that I mean to become more wiser, to be more understanding of other cultures and their mindset. How and why they think in a certain way. It's truly something fascinating to me. Also, knowing many languages gives you an advantage over many people (in terms of communication). So whenever I need to say something discreetly, the extra languages truly do come in handy. GingerCat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Ornstein, I like your way of thinking. Enriching yourself and becoming more open to other cultures is admirable. What a different place this world would be if everyone would have that attitude! ornstein 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkchild Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 The languages I would love to learn are French, German, Russian and Chinese but I am a slow learner. My younger sister speaks French fluently and has tried to help me but I'm not as sharp in languages as I am with calculations. I decided to learn Arabic because I am currently residing in UAE but that has not been successful either. I think I need a miracle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimseokjin Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I am currently learning Korean because I listen to the music and watch the shows, although I wouldn't mind learning Cantonese (my boyfriend's family speaks it) and Mandarin. I actually have tried learning some Mando back in high school when it was required to take up foreign language, and though I am a bit rusty now, I still remember a couple of phrases. But yeah, as of now only Korean. I would like to travel one day and put my conversational skills to the test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
