Rebecca 0 #51 July 1, 2003 QuoteChile. But I'd like to visit Brazil and Argentina. Ooh, and I'd like to visit Santiago... BA is really pretty- very European. And so is Curitiba, Brazil, in a way. Rio just rocks, but I'd skip Sao Paulo. Back on track: Chinese would be a cool one, too. I'm trying to remember this one word- pronounced one way, it means 'hottie', pronounced slightly differently, it mean 'fuck you'. Phoenetically, it's Chu-ni-da, but it depends on the emphasis... Anyone know what I'm talking about? Good way to get a drink thrown in your face... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

wmw999 2,555 #53 July 1, 2003 I think I'd go for German. I made it to p. 21 of German through Pictures when I was in high school and decided that declensions weren't for me (didn't like them much in high school Latin, either). I can assure you that for me, at least, knowing a Romance language really well means the others are much easier to learn, but I didn't just sort of automatically understand them.

dterrick 0 #55 July 1, 2003 I speak French and am a musician (yet another "language" not listed). I chose Norwegian for two reasons. First, I fully intentd to jump the fjords on my 40th birthday (another 5 years and several hundred jumps) and I'd like to be able to yak with the locals. Reason 2 is that one half my family lineage is Norwegian and it would be nice to be able to talk with them (conversational Whuffo? ... yue came-eh half waaay arounddd de worlt to yump off of de feeyourd? I intend tyo say "jeg" to that) Dave Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend (Lennon/McCartney) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #75 July 2, 2003 Definately depends on what your goal is in learning the language. Houston has a "couple" of spanish speakers around. So you'd definately use it profusely and therefor retain it. You can get great govt jobs that pay nicely (60K or better to start) if you speak just about any Oriental language or a fairly wide selection of middle eastern dialects of Arabic. Speaking from experience.....Spanish is a HELL of a lot easier to learn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
