Languages you need learn

[WhatTheHellAmy]

I'm kinda obsessed with languages at the moment, so this is my list...

English

English is important, everyone knows that, but besides being considered "the universal language", English is pretty fun to learn and it's not as difficult as other languages, doesn't take too much time and sounds amazing. And hey! English has kick ass slang talking.

French

Sexy and difficult... Sounds like women lol Beautiful language, it's definitely worth it, perfect to flirt and impress people ;)
Why should you learn it? Because you should know more phrases than "omelette du fromage" lol

Spanish

Second most spoken language. Super important because of this, and not only that, it's also sexy... Have you heard a Spaniard talking? Oh yeah, that's right, panties go down!
Why should you learn it? Because latin American countries have so much to offer for cheap prices, people is nice and we are not rude when you fuck up XD

Chinese

Most spoken language in the world. Yeah sure, people only speak it in Asia, but it is also important for business. For me, this is the most interesting language, every character has its own story behind it and makes the whole learning experience even better.

Russian

Have you seen Russian girls? No? Well, you should, they're hot as fuck and they are more women than men in Russia, so if you wanna bang a Russian lady you should speak her language... Literally lol. For me this is the sexiest language (not for the girls, the language itself is hot) after French, complicated yes, but life is long enough to learn Russian...Right?

Esperanto

"The universal language"... It failed, but it was its purpose XD
Why should you learn it? Because maybe one day it will have more fame and will become very important, who knows? Besides, it's very easy to learn and it's better to be learning something instead of wasting time on GAG *cough cough*

Hindi

The writing alone seduces, fourth language most spoken and it's also very interesting. Wanna be successful in Bollywood? No? Yeah, me neither... The point is that you should learn Hindi!

She's inviting you to learn it, come on, you can't say no.

Klingon

Why? WHY THE FUCK NOT?

[rocksongwriter]

Obviously, it'd be great to learn all the languages, but that's impractical. So if I had to list, say, five languages, then here are the top 5 languages one need learn...

1. English
2. Spanish
3. French
4. Arabic
5. Russian

Reasoning...

1. English - "The sun never sets on the British Empire" as they used to say. England's colonization during the 19th century led to English being spoken in various African nations, India, Pakistan, Australia, New Zealand, a large chunk of North America, perhaps even Hong Kong. Add in the countries that are teaching their children English so they can grow up and do business with the USA (like Japan) then you're looking at a lot of English speakers worldwide.

2. Spanish - Large number of speakers in central America, South America, Europe, etc. makes Spanish very useful.

3. French - Same reasons as Spanish. French speakers in France, South America (French Guiana), and large chunks of Africa. (Plus wasn't French the language of the aristocrats in western Europe?)

4. Arabic - Official language throughout much of the Middle East (from Morocco in north Africa to Iraq). Past Iraq are Iran and Pakistan - countries that don't speak Arabic but do use the Arabic script (for Farsi and Urdu).

5. Russian - A great gateway language to the Slavic language family. Learn Russian and you're on your way to learning Polish, Ukrainian, Belarussian, Ukrainian, Slovak, Czech, Slovene, Serb-Croatian, Bulgarian, & Macedonian (and to some extent Romanian/Moldovan). Russian has a cool foreign looking alphabet with primarily non-Latin characters (but a few Latin characters that make it easier to learn for English speakers).

[Mustachekitteh]

I mainly just clicked on this question thinking it would have something to do with LOL. Though it seems it's just a random picture.

What the hell amy? No nihongo?(Japanese) だめ Amy. :P

Though since most don't care about nihongo I guess that's why most hate anime/manga too. :'(

[Bojan_dedic]

I have learned Spanish, Portuguese, English and now I want to learn Russian so i am practising language on penpaland com with russian people

[QuestionMan]

Anyone that wants to make something of themselves that isn't from an English speaking country learns English, it's incredible.
I'm hoping to learn French professional since I barely speak it. Spanish I can do afterwards unless I decide to learn German.

Chinese, I tried and failed miserably. My tongue doesn't bend that way.
Russian is my native tongue, hoping to learn Ukrainian since I should be able to speak the official language of my birthplace.

Esperanto, for the longest time I thought it was a Spanish dialect. Turns out it's a weird made up language. No thanks.

The last 2 I'm not interested in.

[WhatTheHellAmy]

If you ever need help with Spanish, I can help you. I'm learning french now and I could help you with some practice too, but I'm not a native speaker so of course my French isn't perfect.

German is good, it's on my future plans too, maybe after learning Russian I'll try with that.

Chinese, yeah, it's hard, but with some practice you can pronounce the words, everyone in my class does it and Spanish and Russian aren't super different in pronunciation. Download HelloChinese, I'm trying with that.

For now, I'm only interested in Russian, not sure about Ukrainian...

Esperanto would be for fun, same with Klingon (if I ever do it, not that sure tho, gonna try and see where it takes me).

I think changing Hindi for Arabic would be a nice idea, I didn't think too much about it before posting this.

I've thought about romances languages... Portuguese and Italian for example, but I'm not sure since they are very similar to French and Spanish, I'm looking for different sounds.

[Nik1hil]

Born hindi, gives me a gift of language Hinglish, words or hindi written using English alphabets, the best way to recognize..
WHAT THE HELL AMY, ' janeman tu badi zabardast Hai.. '- 👈 get a Indian guy tu translate it.. 😉
Well pretty good in English.
Going for Dutch.
Then French and Mandarin/Chinese.

[Anonymous]

Are there any people who actually speak Esperanto?

Anyway except from ma mother language... I speak only English fluently... well in English I use ma own dialect actually... although I use normal English when I wanna make some post more readable...

[WhatTheHellAmy]

yup, my french teacher speaks esperanto

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

arabic is more important than half those languages and russian is pretty useless. also, german and greek should probably be up there.

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Yeah, I was thinking about Arabic instead of Hindi lol

Russian is cool, sounds sexy XD

German is cool too, I agree

I know about about Greek, but would be fun to learn I think

[Zorax]

I completely agree with all of these languages, especially with Klingon :P
Great Take Amy ;)

[WhatTheHellAmy]

thanks!

[Zorax]

You're welcome :)

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Ça va bien, merci, et toi?

[Noxifer626]

I invented my own language when I was 7 and forgot how to speak it a month later.
I wish I was kidding, but I'm not. I was kind of a prodigy back then. Before League of Legends and free internet porn ruined my brain cells.

[springocelot]

My list would include: 1) English 2) russian 3) Spanish 4) cantonese 5) arabic

[MarayChai]

I speak German and my English isn't that bad either. Can't speak any other languages

[93stepsawayfromhome]

brb just learning a few languages

[lime_rampljuset]

Want to learn Mando'a and Shyriiwook.

[matheus_mb]

Where is Portuguese? >(

[OrangeBoy]

Yeah! :( *sad*

[Mustachekitteh]

@OrangeBoy Sadly nobody cares about portuguese. :'( Even more when it comes to European portuguese. :'(

[WhatTheHellAmy]

No more romances languages for me lol

[OrangeBoy]

@Mustachekitteh Yes haha, we are just 10 million dudes speaking Eu Portuguese, but Brasil is growing stronger, hope they can turn a superpower country. How is your portuguese language going? Still training?

[OrangeBoy]

haha true Amy... so many languages to learn, very complicated. But people say portuguese is like inverted russian, lol.

[WhatTheHellAmy]

@OrangeBoy how so? lol

[OrangeBoy]

Like the way the sounds come from your mouth.

[Mustachekitteh]

@OrangeBoy It's barely going :( Since it's hard to remember all the words easily. Along with trying to figure out how to pronounce them.

[Mustachekitteh]

@OrangeBoy I don't know to me how portuguese is spoken and how you would speak french. That sounds kind of the same. I just mean when y'all do that sound like you have phlegm in your throats.

[WhatTheHellAmy]

@Mustachekitteh oh no, french is very smooth, portuguese is more like Spanish, sounds different

[Mustachekitteh]

I've never really felt like portuguese and Spanish were that alike. Since how y'all pronounce stuff is extremely different. Mainly Spanish is easier to try and pronounce things right. With portuguese it's extremely hard. :(

[OrangeBoy]

@Mustachekitteh can be a pain in the ass. Portuguese, Spanish, Italian they are very close, French comes next but it's a little more different, but tricky also.

[matheus_mb]

@OrangeBoy Portuguese ain't easy, that's why many people give up I suppose. I'm glad I can speak it natively :D

@Mustachekitteh I agree when you say that Portuguese and Spanish aren't that alike. I consider Portuguese harder, with a larger variety of sounds that it's hard even for Spanish speaking people to pronounce.

[CrazynKinky]

English is far from being the most important

[WhatTheHellAmy]

duuuude

[CrazynKinky]

I read that so wrong I'm sorry

[ThatBritishLad]

Why should I learn these languages?
