5. Gulf Arabic - Just because.


Cheated the way from fringe to elite. Clique of stylists, rounded illogic skipping a beat to a dead cert. By lheaving charges and bursting the abscess, with a forked toungue, bloated with courage and spewing self-importance. Drop your sights, aim lower, leave umblemished those with real power.

I sincerely would like to know at least one other language... I really envy people who grew up in bilingual households, or those in which the dominant language was not the same as the general area's (such as growing up in a Spanish household in Vermont or something...)

I already know a good deal of French, so I won't use up one of mine on it, here goes:
1. Spanish-because it'd be incredibly useful. I'm not sure why I haven't learned it already, but I really should.
2. Latin-just because I want to, and it might make other languages easier to understand.
3. Arabic-I really want to learn Arabic one day, since we as a country are so involved in the middle east.
4. Russian-just bcause I want to.
5. Hmong- it'd actually be incredibly useful around here. There are tons of Hmong immigrants around here, and there are very few people of non-Hmong origin who speak the language at all.

I can read it. My vocab consists of hello, and falafel, and a few other religious words. Besides, I was taught ancient Hebrew. I'd look like a moron if I speak it in Israel when I go this Summer. Big Grin
