Wow! I'm amazed that one of those languages that you wanted to learn is Tagalog. I'm a Filipino and I'm flattered that you appreciate ours. Well, for me I would like to learn Korean, Japanese, and those in Europeans countries. They look very interesting and shows a lot of culture.

Nice one you got there! Salamat also. Yup, and there are more mixtures and combination of different languages we use. Here's a little info about our language, Tagalog is just a dialect but it's one of the most used in different provinces that's why they chose it, but the truth is it's not pure Tagalog it's more of an adaptation, we're more likely to call it Filipino/Pilipino which is also the name of our race. Our language is a combination of different ones like I said, it's Malay, Spanish, English, and more which we used in our daily basis.

Wow, that is a lot of languages to be trying to learn. I guess, if you have the interest, why not? What are your objectives of learning the language? Are you planning to master them all?

Yeah,i am fully interested..just could not have a chance to.I love to be able to understand other cultures ways of speaking and mostly their languages is unique by itself.Im learning now bits by bits.Its a form of communications between different barriers. For Arabic,so i could understand well those sentences that i say out daily. For Korean,hmm..something behind it that God knows why.hehe :p For Mandarin,i have lots chinese friends..its another way to interact with them. For Japanese,Tagalog & French.. i wanna feel multilingual ! ;) Its too high to reach a master level of those languages,a certificate level is enough. ;) hehehe...JK! ;)

An interesting hobby you have there. Learning languages due to interest rather than necessity. All the best to your learning endeavors!

Yes I am already known to many subdialects our country I am most interested in learning European languages like French, German languages in particular. For Asian I would choose Japanese and Chinese, these languages seem to becoming popular these days here in my place. Chinese is also a good communication tool since their language is becoming popular because there are many Chinese in our place conducting business. Japanese is a language known to be attach with technology and development.

I am trying to learn Russian at the moment. I would prefer to take a Russian course, but I couldn't afford it this year, so I started studying on my own instead. I have found some websites that are very useful, and I like to practice new words. Some years ago I studied Japanese, and I would like study that language again one day, I hope that I didn't forget all of it. I have Japanese friends and I look forward to practicing my Japanese with them. I am also interested in learning Spanish, Greek, Chinese and Arabic.

I already speak English, Filipino, Spanish, and French (need to brush up on the last), but I'd love to learn a few more. I was thinking Italian, Portuguese or German, but recently I also developed interest in Hebrew (for some reason I've been singing Hebrew songs lateley - Hine Ma Tov and Roni, Roni Bat Zion) and Hawaiian (my daughter was given a hula outfit and she dances to my rendition of songs like My Little Grass Shack in Kealakekua Hawaii - the Hawaiian words in the song piqued my interest in the language)...

Cant you see the big improvement we have made during tha last tweenty years?In the near future--maybe just when you finish your 'Japanese' language study,China will paly an so important role in the world that you regret what you decide now so much.That's not just because I am a chinese--I am studying foreign language too,if you pay a little more attention at what is happening in all kinds of fields in the world,such as sports,industry,film,economic,you will say my word of advice os good for you.No kidding.

I wish I could learn French and Spanish. These two languages, other than English of course are widely used in the world today. The more I know, the more I can converse with other people around the world. It comes in very handy when travelling, and also allows me to understand new cultures. I wished I learned these languages when I was young. Trying to learn them as an adult has much less effect in retaining them, plus it takes a lot more time and perserverance to learn new languages as adults.

I would love to learn different languages! Unfortunately I'm not so great at self-learning, and I can't afford any computer software to teach me. Someday maybe...! But oh, I would love to learn Japanese! I know a few phrases already. Also French and Serbian, of which I also know a few phrases.
