FAV LANGUAGE and why?

Question

I speak spanish but I'm learning some english , wich I found cool cause seems to me that sintesises things and ideas that take longer to express in my own lang; and French cause I like the way the french people pronounces it..some German cause I found it very rational and somehow more organized, more ordered somehow...I would also love to learn italian, cause the words seem more complete and all of them have a really nice sound.

Anyway, I was curious about knowing your fav languages, as why you like them?, what you consider the most atractive characteristic of it, well you know, things like that.
Thanks

Answer 1

my favorite language is Spanish because its easy to speak, write, and read. Everything is written how it sounds. Also, there are ALOT of countries that speak Spanish and knowing Spanish helps you to understand Italian and Portuguese.

Answer 2

My two favorite languages are German and Russian.

I enjoy speaking and learning German because it is a unique language, especially in the United States, where Spanish is the most widely spoken second language. The rules of German grammar are interesting, and the overall aesthetic quality of German is interesting. While many say that it is a hard or harsh language, I find it to be a happy language, with the sounds of each ä, ö, and ü bringing a smile to my face. (Plus, it's a guilty pleasure of mine to yell at and mutter about my friends in German!)

Russian is an amazingly interesting language. The language is even more phonetic than English; they have letters for 'sh', 'ch', 'ts', and even 'shch'! The Russian language represents my family's history, as well, since my great grandparents were immigrants from Russia in the early 20th century. It is a serious language, and when the sobriety of Russian is juxtaposed against the Russian fondness of drinking alcohol, spoken Russian is a delight to my ear. Like, German, it is also a unique language that people often overlook, and I just find it incredibly interesting.

Answer 3

Well, I love Spanish since it's my native language. It is a very poetic language that seems to transform from country to country and person to person, but remains essentially the same. I love the fact that you can find many ways to say certain things.

I like English because it's a great language to joke in. My college education has been in English, and I have learned how important it is to speak English. Also, English is spoken virtually everywhere you go, and this helps me in my travels!

Since I am a musician, I can't help loving German, French, and Italian, though I can say only basic things in these languages.
I like Japanese because of its wonderfull grammar and its easy pronounciation.
Though I can't speak any Chinese or Thai, I truly admire anyone who can deal with so many intonations and such complex characters.
But in the end, I am captivated by anyone who speaks a language that I don't, and I always take some time to learn little things here and there.

Answer 4

If you're just now learning English, then you are doing very well, it already sounds like you've been speaking is for a couple of years now. Much better than it would sound if I tried to say something in Spanish right now... LOL

Anyways, I speak English, but I would like to know how to speak German and Italian. I don't know why I want to speak German, but I just love the way the Italian language sounds.

Answer 5

I'm a native English speaker, yet I much prefer speaking in Esperanto.

Designed to be learned easily, Esperanto is the gateway to many other languages and cultures. The structure is regular and has only 16 gramatical rules with NO exceptions. So instead of learning rule after rule and which ones don't apply here or there, I spend my time absorbing the vocabulary. Check the site below for information on Esperantos' value in learning other languages.

I frequently make this next statement, and I live by it.

"If you can't learn Esperanto, you can't learn any language."

At the very least, if you learn Esperanto, which by the way can lead to the enjoyment of meeting new friends and traveling to new places, you'll at least have that under your belt regardless of how far you decide to take any other languages.
It's not uncommon for a student of Esperanto to become fluent inside of a month, maybe less, if you've the desire.

I really enjoy listening to the original music, clasical, folk, rock, rap, lullabys(sp), Christmas songs, you name it. The folk tends to be the best. Track down groups like Kajto, Merlin, or Kore for starters.

Esperanto is the 65th most printed language in the world, which when you think about it, with only 2,000,000 plus speakers is quite remarkable. There are translations of the classics, and not so classic, as well as a wealth of original material.

The most depressing aspect of dealing with Esperanto is the constant unsupported claims that it has no value. As with anything else, it's use is dependant on how you decide to use it. With over 2,000,000 speakers in the world, there aren't too many places where you won't find it, you just need to look. The internet is the best place to start. The sites below are the best intitial places to investigate the language and it's history. (Yes, it has a history (119 years) and a culture as mentioned above.)

Where Esperanto stands to make its biggest success is in international communications, primarily at the UN and EU, where each respectively spends in excess of $500 million USD annually on translation services alone. Esperanto currently holds observer status at the UN and UNESCO.

The World Esperanto Association (in Esperanto UEA: Universala Esperanto-Asocio) is the largest international organization of Esperanto speakers, with members in 119 countries (as of 2000) and is the official relations office with the United Nations and UNESCO. In addition to individual members, 95 national Esperanto organizations are affiliated to UEA.

Research and make your own conclusions.

Ĝis!

Answer 6

Well, I am learning Spanish because I live in California, and a lot of Spanish-speakers live here. I just like Spanish better than other languages because I think it will help me communicate better with many Spanish-speaking Californians and others too, and it is of the most use to me. Besides, if you know Spanish and your teacher doesn't, you and your friends can talk about almost anything! I still like English "best" since I know it, but Spanish is my favorite second language, and my goal is bilingualism.

Answer 7

Spanish. Because unlike Portuguese, you don't have the confusing "c" letter, and unlike French, you have a very warm culture to converse with. Plus, your brain is structured differently if you grew up speaking a romance language as opposed to a germanic language. I am completely bilingual, but when I write, I write poetry and literature better in Spanish because the modifiers are more able in my mind to do my work justice. It just kind of flows better, especially when you're rhyming. I took French in high school and it was a gorgeous language, but the culture really turned me off. Plus with Spanish, even if you speak a weird dialect of it, look at how many different countries....all with their own slang and sometimes changing structure...you can comunicate with. Plus, a lot of pidgin and creole languages developed from roots of pure Spanish. Someone once told me he wouldn't let his kid take Spanish in scool because it wasn't "worldly" enough, but I think I have just proven my case.

Answer 8

My favorite language is English. It is the only one I fluently speak
Italian sounds cool but too much ya gotta get your hands into it and that is tiring after a while.
French sounds too snooty and like they have a sinus problem
Spanish is cool, but people who speak it talk way too fast for me.
German has some cool words, but they sound so harsh
Russian is also very harsh sounding,even though I like some of it.
Cihnese is cool but to fast and choppy and hard to learn.

My Grandmother speaks Danish which sounds to me like she is trying to speak German and Chinese at the same time.

Answer 9

My favorite language is English because I can speak it!

I will start to learn Spanish next year.
