    Default What languages will you like to learn?

    If time and money are not an issue, what languages will you like to learn?
    For me, I already know Mandarin and English.
    I am learning Korean. I hope after Korean to learn Japanese, then German.
    If I still can, I will like to learn Arabic, Thai, Italian, French, Spanish, Russian and Portuguese.
    After that, I will like to learn Indonesian and Hindi.
    I love languages.

    I am bilingual in Dutch and Spanish, I also fluently speak English and French, and speak basic German. I have an objective to learn Greek but longer term I would like to learn Mandarin.

    Well, I have studied English, French, German, ancient Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Hungarian and I learned some sign language a long time ago. But I think I'm only really fluent in English. I can get by in French. And I communicate in German, but I always feel I haven't got it completely. I've forgotten a lot of my Greek, but I know some basics. French helps me understand the other romance languages. I need to get better at Hungarian if I want to live there (the country of my paternal grandmother's birth).

    I could probably pick up Latin and Dutch without too much trouble. My maternal grandfather was from Sweden, but I've never been there (was in Norway once)--maybe I should learn Swedish. I would like to learn Mandarin or Cantonese, given there are many people I encounter who speak those languages--but that would be really hard.

    Go for it with Greek, (I assume you mean modern Greek). It's fun and easy. Well, IMO. Also, you can learn it in a class at most any Greek Orthodox Church, (classes are typically separate from any religious instruction).

    I personally would love to learn Irish, but that's very hard to do as instruction is nearly non-existent outside of Ireland or major university towns, and even most of them don't teach it.

    Yes, modern Greek (important note: my wife is Greek). I've finalized A1 through an online course. It got quite difficult towards the end - I'm trying to find enough time to venture onto A2, which I know will be quite a challenge.

    When you say it's easy, I assume you're Greek/ from a Greek family?

    Nope, just interested....in a Greek girl. So I took my own advice and learned at a church.
