I was born, raised, and still live in California. I took two years of Spanish in high school. I recall very little, though.
I have and still do run into quite a few Spanish speaking people and have visited Mexico many times.
My wife and I spent two weeks in San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato a couple years ago. Before our trip, we tried learning some Spanish. My pronunciation isn't bad, but I can't remember vocabulary.
Anyway, Spanish would be handy for me. Unfortunately, hablo muy poco español. Mi español es muy malo. LOL
I admire people who are bilingual and multilingual.
I've traveled a lot in my career and enjoy learning the language of the country I'm in. With English as my native language, I can get by in French and Spanish. I also know a small amount of German, Russian and Mandarin Chinese. Considering that one in seven people in the world speak Chinese, I'd like to become more conversant in Mandarin. That's not one of the choices in the question.
I've been learning Italian for the past four years, and I would love to get at the ''perfect'' level of it (get a certificate and all). It's a beautiful language. I would also love to learn Spanish (I understand quite a lot of it and know some basic phrases, but I would like to become fluent), Russian (I already speak one Slavic language, and they are extremely difficult but beautiful), and Arab. Lately, I've been interested in sign language too and thought about learning it.
I just love languages, and I would like to learn plenty of them xD
Which Slavic language? My two guesses would be 1. Bosnian/Serbian/Croatian which is one guess because all three are almost exactly the same except for Serbia's cyrillic alphabet. 2. Slovenian.
@European4Ever Good take, it's Croatian 😂
@jason0808 I would guess you are probably Turkish. If not, then Lebanese or Sephardic Jew would be my other two guesses. If you were a Sephardic Jew from Israel you would probably have a more hardened look in your eyes because of military training and mandatory service and the conflicts. You don't really look Arab. You don't have any features that would make me guess Persian (Iranian), anywhere in the Balkans or anywhere in the Caucasus (Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia) which are really the only other ethnic possibilities for your look. Afghanistan is the only additional option but also has very low chance because your features wouldn't be too common among the population in Afghanistan.
@European4Ever thanks
@European4Ever Greek Armenian
@European4Ever You guessing he's Lebanese is unexpected and somehow extremely accurate - as a "european" how the hell did you manage to pull that one off? I thought I was the only who'd guess that as well as jew or georgian or Armenian.. I'm really intrigued
@jaybee281 I am really great at identifying ethnic traits. If I look at anyone from the European or Asian continents and accurately guess their ethnicity and if not, their main ethnicity or ethnic group. For example: look at the eyes, nose, ears, lips, face, and the shapes and sizes. Skin color as in the shade or tone. That can give the general region or the ethnic group. That's why my guesses were Turkish, followed by Lebanese, then Sephardic Jew. The Caucus and the Balkans were possibilities by the movement of people and because ethnic mixing throughout history. I would likely group certain Europeans together. Germanic: Germans, Austrians, Swiss, Dutch. Belgian could go either way as French or Germanic. Telling a Ukrainian from a Russian would be much easier than identifying a Germanic ethnicity, but it would be easy for me to confuse an ethnic Belarusian for an ethnic Russian which are Slavic. This is because ethnic Ukrainians have rounder heads than Russians and Belarusians. Baltic could potentially be confused as Slavic or Nordic. Polish are closer to Ukrainians compared to other Slavs but can have more rounder heads and easy to identify apart from other Slavs. Hungarians have a unique look for their location but it's because they're originally an ethnic group from Russia or so I heard. Among East and Southeast Asians, I can tell almost any apart. Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Malaysian, Thai, Filipino, and Indonesien. Ethnicity is what people in the Old World nations use. Race is just a larger grouping of main ethnic groups with common similarities or roughly common similarities. I got into this because I started to want to learn the areas in the world that have girls I find most beautiful. I also encountered many European, Asian, and Jewish ethnic groups to tell them apart. Any questions?
@European4Ever They call me lebanese but lebanese i am not arabic
First I need to master English. Although I'm fluent in it I have grammatical mistakes sometimes. After English I will think if learning other languages like French and Spanish.
That's not necessary for learning another language. You may improve your English grammar and learn another language at the same time. It'll be much easier for you to learn another language now than later. Each year that goes by the harder it becomes to learn another language.
You can use the Duolingo app on your phone and start learning a language for free. I'd suggest something practical where you're likely to find a class in High School to meet your prerequisites. Which would typically be Spanish, French or German in US schools.
If you do actually use the app every day. Be sure to test out for placement when you start high school. So, they don't stick you in the beginners class.
@horatiohornblower I'm in 8th grade so I'm already in high school
Different school system. 8th grade would be middle school where I'm from. Still, if you want to learn another language. Now is the best time. By the time you get to college. It'll be much more difficult to learn one.
@horatiohornblower Oh ok I will keep your words. Thank you :)

Of these I speak Arabic French and English - and yes fluently - I'm not a fan of Spanish just because everyone wants to speak Spanish even though Italian is a much better language - Persian is something I wouldn't like because I'm not a fan of the people who speak it - Greek for the philosophy and culture I guess - Or maybe Russian for the women - Or maybe Armenian because back in Lebanon I had Armenian friends as well as my hairstylist being Armenian - I miss that dude
I'd like to be more proficient with Spanish, Japanese, German & Italian.
I'd like to begin learning and eventually mastering Chinese because it's important to understand your adversaries.
Dutch, as I hope to move and work there later this year. I already have a little knowledge. So many Dutch people speak excellent English, it would be nice to hold a conversation in their own language.
Ah, all languages tbh. I speak Japanese, I’m learning Spanish, Chinese and Korean. I looove languages so much ❤️
@jason0808 I would learn English, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, or Hindi first because those are the most commonly spoken languages, though it also depends on where you live. Example: there is a part of California that has a bunch of Korean people that live there, so you would want to learn Korean, but it’s not one of the most well known and most spoken languages out there, just for the area you may live in.
Of those only French really interests me. Although Spanish would be far more practical.
I've been learning German over the last two months or and I definitely want to continue, but I think I will have to move to Germany or at the very least get a tutor.
I would like to speak Italian since that is where my ancestors are from.
Japanese, because I like watching anime. It is difficult to read the subtitle and watch anime at the same time. Sometimes I even miss one action just to read the subtitles.
English would be nice, I have been speaking it natively for 42 years now and I still only have a working knowledge.
Erm, kind of mediterranean?
Perhaps half cast white arab? Turkish? Italian? Something like that perhaps?
Ok, well to my mind thats pretty much what I said so not sure why you are laughing but whatever.
As far as the ones on here I say French. If there was a choice for other I said Japanese
I speak English and German.
I'm probably done learning languages but if I could wave a magic wand and add a third language it would probably be Spanish.
You have a Georgian flag in your picture. That kind of ruins the surprise assuming you are Georgian.
I can believe Georgian.
If you had no flag I would have said Turkey or Greece or something like that.
I do talk a bit of Spanish, would like to learn more.
None of those. I learned to speak German in high school.
More dinosaurs. I’m basically a master for Iguanadon and all dinosaurs speak the same just their different sounds are the equivalent of our accents
You look a lot like that KSI guy from Transformers: Age of Extinction
You’re welcome. You also look like my Enrichment teacher from 1st Grade. He was cool. That was also when I met my best friend
I don't need to learn foreign languages. Here in India, other states languages are good enough for now😅.
I can already speak Spanish, so the next thing I'm trying to learn is Chinese. Although I really wish I could speak all the languages in the world.
it seems to be more prevalent now, so it would help make things a bit easier.
We do have Spanish speaking patients, and we really need to be able to communicate with them.
Oooh, I would love to learn French, Russian, Japanese, and sign language.
Not because I'm really trying to, but it could be awesome.
French sounds romantic to me. I know a few words only lol.
Italian?
Cool!
Sign language because it's more beneficial to the field I work in.
I would like to learn and speak Turkmen or Uzbek languages
Japanese so I can watch anime without subtitles
Spanish cause I think it’s beautiful
German just for the heck of it lol
Turkish
Chinese
French
(Spain) Spanish not (Mexican) Spanish
If you didn't have a flag of Georgia lol, it would of been more fun to guess.
Russian - Not sure why, I just think it sounds great
I can speak Polish, English and a bit German. At the moment I am learning Russian.
In the future I would like to get better at German, and also learn Spanish and Italian.
@jason0808 To be honest, I am content with only knowing how to speak Japanese & English.
From the options: English, I'd love to be 100% fluent, and if I can pick any language, I'd love to learn korean.
If it was possible, all of the languages. But right now, I wish I would be more motivated to continue learning more Spanish. Would be my fourth language.
I would love to learn Swedish. I am beginning a course on Duolingo for just that purpose. So if you are a generous Swede, hit me up! I would love to learn from you.
Morse Code (I Got Rusty)
Navajo Indian Language
German
I don't give a shit about your nationality
Most common language I encounter on a daily basis. Could just be where I live.
I have a lot of interest in linguistics. Presently, I am fluent in 7 languages and I'm learning 12 more...
Everything that I can get my mind on , i already speak 5 indian language
I would like to learn Spanish, Russian, french, Korean and japenese
Sign Language ✌️👌🤞👍
Well, I'm fluent in german and English...
Right now I learn Spanish...
After that, French it will be...
I wanted French and Russian until I realize how much asshole they are. right now, I want Chinese or Japanese which is easier for me because I am Korean.
@Paul09 Accents in French are easy - hold on I'll give it a shot - So - É is used at the end of verbs (participe passé or any past tense verb that needs it you'll know) when need be as well as in adjectives and any noun when it starts with the é sound - The only times you don't put the accent even when you make the é sound is when the e is at the end of the word and after the e there's either:d, f, r, or z - as well as when there are any double consonants or an "x" after the e but it's wherever not just at the end of a word (essayer, intéressant, flexible) - the accent grave È is basically only used with words that end with an s but the s is not pronounced - like "après, près, congrès, décès" as well as other adverbs- as well as (and this one's a bit more complicated) when the after the e (è) there is a consonant followed by an unpronounced e (fièrement, avènement, collège)-You're only pronouncing the r and the n without pronouncing the e after it - this one's even more trickier - the è is put when the second letter that follows it - Second one - is either R or L (fièvre or lèvre or nèfle)- it's also put on a when the a doesn't represent the verb have as à. As well as in the word là (which means here or this place depending on the context) and other adverbs (déjà, delà, voilà)- and on u when you're asking where (où) to differ with the regular ou - and the ê, î, â and û are more complex you'll have to memorize those - The ô is used on every possessive that has an o in it (vôtre, nôtre)...
@jaybee281 Too much for my brain lol. What about ç âà ûù î lol. Or it drives me crazy with the masculine féminine, then You have to change all the words that cone after that. Which makes it more complicated for nothing. English is a bit tough too. But at least they dont change the word structure.
If this bunch, Arabic
Arabic Aramean Armenian, Czechslovakia, Hungarian

I know you’re probably retired but is there a Cuban community in Jacksonville?
I am not retired. I am healthy, active, and still working full time with no plans to retire.
We have a small Cuban-American community but it does not compare to the communities in South Florida.
Oh ok. I just wasn’t sure.
But if you enjoy your job than that is absolutely fantastic!
