Which foreign language(s) would you like to learn? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 69/100. smellyfinger (573)   ranked 3,407 out of 24,545 in people3 months ago

Some friends are planning a website, where we can learn foreign languages like English, French, German, Portuguese, etc.

We plan to make it a fun site, with members acting as volunteers. The idea is, people who are passionate about either learning or teaching a language can participate in the site, and we can have fun learning different languages, making friends from all over the world, and having mutual cultural exchanges.

We can teach our mother tongue, to those who are interested in learning it, and accordingly, we can learn the language we are interested in, by someone who is interested in teaching it:)

We plan to have a forum, where we can have discussions, both related to languages and general ones, plus we plan to have a private chat station for members where they can participate in live cam-voice chat.

It would be great to have feedback from all of you, as what do you think of this concept, and if you join a site like this, what language would you like to learn, and may be teach:)

Pls comment. Thanks:)

it's a beautiful idea!!!
I like very much learning languages even if I didn't study them at the University!!!
yours it's a good idea because, everytime I talked with stranger people they always wanted to speak or write to me in Italian, so that they improved their Italian and I didn't learn more from them.....
if this website will do what you are saying, people should know from the beginning that it's a sort of cultural exchange!!!


myLot reputation of 69/100. smellyfinger (573)   ranked 3,407 out of 24,545 in people  3 months ago

yeah.. it will have volunteers, like if i want to learn italian, ans u want to learn english, or hindi (my mother tongue), we can interect with each other, using the site as a medium, and gets benefited mutually, plus we can have fun, and share and learn more about each other - our country, culture etc:)

I would love to learn Farsi, it is such a beautiful language! I would also like to learn Persian because that is the native tounge where my religion (the Baha'i Faith) began and many of the writings of my Faith are in Persian. This is an awesome idea! I know some spanish and would love to learn more spanish too.


myLot reputation of 69/100. smellyfinger (573)   ranked 3,407 out of 24,545 in people  3 months ago

thats cool! in india we use hindustani, which does have a lot of words from urdu, and farsi in it (though the script of farsi is different). farsi words are used very effectively in hindi songs and poetry, they sound so authentic:)


myLot reputation of 90/100. runner0369 (277)   ranked 4,188 out of 24,545 in people  3 months ago

cool! I have never heard hindustani.


myLot reputation of 69/100. smellyfinger (573)   ranked 3,407 out of 24,545 in people  3 months ago

Hi smellyfinger,
I love the concept you have in mind for this site. Personally I'd love to learn Japanese! I think it's an awesome language and only know a few words in it and sometimes share those few words with people I knowlol.
Whenever you get this site going, lease make sure and post a thread stating so, I'd be very interested to see what this site entails. Sounds lie it'd have great potential too.
Have a good one


myLot reputation of 69/100. smellyfinger (573)   ranked 3,407 out of 24,545 in people  3 months ago

hm.. i duno anything about japanese, though i got a few chiense friends, and they taught me some basic chinese.

hopefully, we wil have a few japanese volunteers there as well.

i will certainly keep you updated:)

That sounds like a really good idea. Right now I know English (duh), I know Spanish which is first language, I'm a bit rusty in French, I only took it three years in high school and I know the basics of Italian. But that would be a good idea. The languages that I've always dreamed of learning are Japanese and Korean but I'm afraid to start learning them because they look hard and I'm afraid that I'll fail and not learn it.


myLot reputation of 69/100. smellyfinger (573)   ranked 3,407 out of 24,545 in people  3 months ago

yeah.. lot of ppl here seem to be interested in japanese n korean, hopefully we can find a few good teachers for them, wish us luck, hehe!


myLot reputation of 96/100. ayumitakashi (2013)   ranked 2,393 out of 24,545 in people  3 months ago

Yeah I wish you guys all the best because this sounds like a really good idea. We can all learn from everybody else and aside from learning the language we can learn more about the culture.


myLot reputation of 69/100. smellyfinger (573)   ranked 3,407 out of 24,545 in people  3 months ago

yeah, making learning fu, and having cultural exchange are the two things that we want to make this site for. Expect it to be in the fist week of July 08:)
