you spelled swahili correctly

Hmmm...I'm fluent in English and 70%fluent in Spanish already, so...

1)Mandrin
2)French
3)Italian
4)Swahili (or just to learrn how to spell it... )
5)Latin

The five languages I would want to speak are:
1. Russian
2. Japanese
3. Arabic
4. Hebrew
5. Italian

but in a majority of those nations (europe) you can find some one who does (espeacilly france)
Russian is known by a good enough amount of people in arabia and the old east bloc
and Swahili's dialects are found all over the vast majority of the continent
The solution to Arabic and Swahili's dialects is to learn the "high" version of them which contains no regional changes

quote:

between Russsian, English and German I'll be able to communicate every where in europe and with russian a large part of the rest of the world
Swahili let's me communicate all over africa
Arabic will let talk in Arabia
and Chinese/Russian helps me out in Asia the only place I'd be at all weak would be south america and India

everywhere in europe doesnt speak english and german, the majority of france spain italy greece east europe turkey etc doesnt speak english or german, neither does east europe speak russian, swahili isnt spoken all over africa and arabic has many dialects, for example someone from lebanon cannot communicate with a saudi arabian very well. Not to mention the many many dialects of asia,

if you want to maximise who you speak with russian isn't the way to go, choose something like spanish, english and french.

Personally i think it needs drive to learn a language, not just a desire to speak with people, i am only beginning to learn my seconed language, and have no intention to go further!

quote:

1. German
2. Chinese
3. Arabic
4. Russian
5. Swahili

I'll explain mine now

between Russsian, English and German I'll be able to communicate every where in europe and with russian a large part of the rest of the world

hydrok i think u mean gujrati..

and FoD its hindi...

Spanish
Swedish
Russian
Icelandic
Hindi

Chinese- Because I believe that the next Titanic war lies with them

Korean- because we are still at an armistance with Korea, and the war is not over yet. Plus it's a possibility I could be going there soon

Persian- This is native to Iran, and with all the tensions going on with them, it's possible that the ability to speak Farsi could be quite useful

GuJari- this is native to india, pakistan, and Afghanistan...

Germanic- pretty much leaving this open because Israel and many other countries in that portion of the middle east speak a form of German.

Swedish
---Not "speak" per se, but sign language as well.

Croatian sounds so sexy, especially coming from Kovatch on ER
I'd like to learn French, Mandarin, Spanish, Latin (dead but awesome) and Greek. French and Spanish because they're widly spoken, Mandarin because it sounds like gibberish to me and I would love to know for myself that those are real words (I know most foreign languages sounds like gibberish to other ppl but mandarin especially) and Latin and Greek because they're the roots for other languages and are used a lot in science.

1. Spanish (I really do just like Spanish, not necessarily because it's useful)
2. Gaelic (yay for the Irish!)
3. Finnish (because I think it would be cool)
4. Romanian (see above)
5. Russian (I couldn't really think of anything else...if I learned Russian I could read Tolstoy w/o a translation.)
