if you were to learn another language, what would it be?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 76/100. rojane (147)   ranked 3,565 out of 32,957 in life 5 years ago

i've known two languages in my entire life: Filipino/Tagalog (my country's language) and English (the international language). of course i know how to speak and write both languages, although not really perfect in grammar. haha!

but if i were to learn another one, i would prefer to learn French. i want to learn "the language of love". i dunnoh but i find French so classic and so nice to hear. it's like melody to the ears.

how about you? do you have a language you want to learn aside from your own language?

If I could learn a second language it would definitely be Japanese. I listen to Japanese music all the time and watch Japanese TV shows (mostly anime) so I hear the language constantly but I only understand a little bit of it. It's such a beautiful and melodic language for me, I love the way it sounds. Plus, I would be able to watch all of my favorite shows without the subtitles! I also want to live in Japan someday.


myLot reputation of 76/100. rojane (147)   ranked 3,565 out of 32,957 in life  5 years ago

really? i think that learning Japanese is hard. not to mention writing them! gawd, Japanese characters all look like the same to me. haha.

but i guess if you really desire it, you will learn it easily. if there's a will, there's a way, right?

Ah Rojan. But you are young. I t can happen. If you have a wish to go to France it might well happen. I think my first visit was when I was about 24-25 yrs. I hope to post a journal of my travels on my return. watch for it.

thanks meander for giving me hope. :) but it's not actually a question of age here. it's just that i really don't have resources to travel France. i don't think that im capable of saving enough money to visit there. know that you are fortunate that you can visit France. :D not everybody has the opportunity to go there. :) but thanks.

my motherlanguage is chinese, first foreign language i study is english, now with great interest in france , wanna study it but don't know how long this passion will last, last time i want to study japanese only persist for less than 3 month, so dull just study without ability to use.


myLot reputation of 76/100. rojane (147)   ranked 3,565 out of 32,957 in life  5 years ago

Hahaha. I can sense that you are very fickle-minded. Hehehe. Anyways, that's true. Our wants do often change. What we want now may not be the one that we want tomorrow. Well I guess nothing really lasts forever, even passion.

Thanks for sharing bigcage! :)

"Good afternoon", it is afternoon there isn't it? Well anyhow, i would like to learn to speak my own language. It is called Cree. I grew up hearing and understanding some of it, but being away from the elders, i've lost what little i knew. My last name is french, but i would still prefer to learn cree. Take care Rojane.


myLot reputation of 76/100. rojane (147)   ranked 3,565 out of 32,957 in life  5 years ago

yes sir. it's afternoon here.

Cree? from what country is that language? i haven't heard of it. and your last name's french? so you have a french blood and your father's a french, is that it? if that is so, that's great!

take care too, sir. :)


myLot reputation of 93/100. budsr03 (1520)   ranked 4,238 out of 32,957 in life  5 years ago

Sir? Now my egos shattered, i feel so old! LOL! Metis' is my nationality and i'm from Northern Alberta Can. I am part Cherokee and French. Dads side, Metis' and French, Moms side. If your interested in learning more, just type in the name Louis Riel, his fight against the Canadian Government is well known throughout Western Canada.
Take care Maam, LOL! See it sounds old! LOL! Later Rojane!


myLot reputation of 76/100. rojane (147)   ranked 3,565 out of 32,957 in life  5 years ago

hahaha! i didn't mean to make you feel that way. :) "sir" is just my way of giving respect to people who i think with higher position. and i dunnoh but your picture tells me that you are holding a high position in the office world. hehehe.

wow. so you have french blood, eh? that's nice!


myLot reputation of 93/100. budsr03 (1520)   ranked 4,238 out of 32,957 in life  5 years ago

I don't work in an office because i like to get my hands dirty! I do mechanic work on vehicles! I still enjoy it and i feel good when i fix something! Thanks Rojane.


myLot reputation of 76/100. rojane (147)   ranked 3,565 out of 32,957 in life  5 years ago

Oh that's such a great job, budsr03. You know, fixing things. And I admire that you have fulfillment whenever you fix a vehicle. Good job. Keep it up! :)

I am english, and since I live in quebec I have to speak french, I took spanish in high school but do not remember it,

and I speak just a bit of hebrew, mostly just for prayers.


myLot reputation of 76/100. rojane (147)   ranked 3,565 out of 32,957 in life  5 years ago

spanish is also good. hebrew? that's kind of hard to learn. im not sure but is Jesus a hebrew also? or is he a jew?

anyways, at least you know one biblical language, right? i still want to learn French and if only i have time and enough resources, i would.

thanks for sharing, winterose! :)


myLot reputation of 93/100. winterose (18789)  5 years ago

today days jews were the ancient hebrews,

the language is called hebrew

and Jesus was a hebrew, or today he would be called a jew


myLot reputation of 76/100. rojane (147)   ranked 3,565 out of 32,957 in life  5 years ago

it would be Thai language.my mother is from Thailand,but she tried to teach me to speak it,but i've always had the problem with speaking it backwards.so whenever i speak Thai,i speak it the way you would do here in America.lol i know this sounds silly though but i cannot help it.


myLot reputation of 76/100. rojane (147)   ranked 3,565 out of 32,957 in life  5 years ago

i don't get it. but why do you have to speak Thai backwards? and i'm really sorry but i also don't get what you meant by your second to the last sentence.

oh my gosh! i don't know if im slow or what. hehe.

Kudos to you. After English your choice of French is excellent. The French language will always be with us. Yes it is a beautiful language, although I speak it imperfectly.And yes, when spoken as they do in France it is a kind of music. Here we are not so melodious as we have a lot of patois (slang) mixed in.Often English words are put in a sentence. Why I don't know. Maybe for emphasise When I visit France this comeing September I will have a chance to use my French and I'm sure I shall amuse them while I do it.


myLot reputation of 76/100. rojane (147)   ranked 3,565 out of 32,957 in life  5 years ago

wow!!! you're going to France?!?! you are so fortunate that you could visit such a lovely place! i've been dreaming to go there and see the eiffel tower itself. but i guess it will just remain dreams for i don't have enough money to go there. sigh.

I'd like to learn Arabic because the writing always looks so pretty. But I think Spanish would be a useful language to know. I do know a little, but not that much.

Kelly


myLot reputation of 76/100. rojane (147)   ranked 3,565 out of 32,957 in life  5 years ago

spanish is a nice language too. i also know very little of it like the common words "si," "señor, señora," "por que," "noli me tangere" and others.

haha. i told you. i don't know much spanish too. hehe.
