Which languaje would you like to learn?

Question

I would like to learn Japanese.

Answer 1

I'm presently learning French, which I love, and I plan to learn Latin, Gaelic, German, Mandarin, Japanese, Vietnamese, and quite possibly Hungarian as well. As you can see, I'm interested in a wide range of languages ^___^.

Answer 2

I know English and Spanish. I'm learning Italian and also want to learn Japanese. Some people think I am Japanese or Asian but, no, I am Mexican and proud. But Japanese does seem pretty fun! Some of my friends are really into that anime stuff which has got them hooked on learning everything about Japan and the Japanese language. Right now I have to work on Italiano. Arrivederci.

Answer 3

Well, let's keep in mind that this is a personal choice, but I have a reason to believe this.
My choice is Esperanto!
My children and I are all learning it. Why?
Well believe it or not, Esperanto represents the best chance for the survival of the multitude of dying languages since it's purpose is to provide an alternative to the monopoly of any one National tongue to the disadvantage of others.
Consider if you will, Esperanto is an easily learnt AUXILIARY language. This means that myself and those German, Japanese or Korean fellows over there needn't sink a lot of time and effort into learning each others mother tongues if they don't wish in order to communicate, where the speaker of the tongue we decide to communicate in will hold the advantage in any discussions; since the likelihood of the rest of us having a mastery of the second language will be remote at best. Each partner has exerted a similar effort in order to communicate; a linguisticly neutral hand shake if you will. Yet we are still free to talk in our mother tongues when and where we choose.
Further, I am now in a position to visit just about every country in the world and with the help of my new found Esperanto speaking friend (2 million plus) learn of his / her culture and language. This second facet is possible because in learning Esperanto I now have a firmer grip on linguistic principles. I will provide a link below on the benefits of learning tertiary languages after Esperanto.
However, if it is Culture you desire, then you've no need to look much further than the Internet. In music there are Folk, Jazz, Opera, Rock, Hip Hop, Rap, childrens' songs, etc. In literature there is multinational translations plus original works. The yearly Esperanto Congresses are a play ground for young and old alike for interaction.
Many people has the notion that Esperantos' purpose is to be the ONLY language in the world. If that were true then I might agree with their concerns. Yet that isn't the idea.
Nobody should feel forced to learn it, especially if they've no desire to leave their comfort zone.
The fact is that like it or not, it's use is expanding exponentially. The last educated guess puts the number of functional speakers at 2 million plus and another 2,000 plus native speakers (those that were born to an Esperanto household; yes they exist).
Yet many people feel almost threatened by it, which is the last intention of the Esperantistoj (ehs-pehr-ahn-TEES-toy). It is simply a tool to allow those that might otherwise struggle to learn a new language, the option of expanding their horizons.
Finally, there is currently $600 million plus USD a year being spent on translation services at the UN, and a similar amount in the EU, because no one nationality wants to loose the prestige and advantage of owning one of the 'working' languages in each of those institutions. This a huge waste of resources that might otherwise go to feeding and housing those less fortunate. A single working language, easily learnt (less than a year to become fluent) would certainly go along way towards that goal. The Universal Esperanto Asociation (UEA) currently holds observer status (class B) at the UN and UNESCO. So there is some movement towards this goal.
Research and draw your own conclusions.

Ĝis!
