The language I would never learn is...
Yo nunca aprendería chino, japonés, alemán ni ruso. ¿Por qué? no me agrada el sonido de las palabras.

I haven't even attempted to think about learning another language yet. I want to master Spanish first, even if it takes 50 years!!!
There probably isn't a language that I wouldn't want to learn. Though there are some languages that I don't like phonetically (and I'm not going to name these not to offend anyone).
If I had a lot of free time, and a brain more capable of language learning
I would probably try to learn as many languages as I could. Languages of the world always fascinated me - especially the Asian languages, such as Chinese, but also Hindi, even though I doubt I would ever by able to learn those... Recently I spent a week in Ireland, and I thought that if I had a chance to live there for a few months, I would probably try to take Irish Gaelic lessons - to learn at least the very basics!
We have a saying in Slovakia: How many languages you speak, that many times you are a human.
That's pretty much a literal translation, so I'm not sure if it will make sense in English, but I hope it will ![]()

todas las lenguas son excelentes
All languages are excellent
I have opened a thread on the definition of hate expressed by donkagg. Please have a look.
I think I won't try to learn some languages such as Swahili (Tanzania), Tswana (Botswana), Mòoré (Burkina Faso), Hausa (Niger)
About some languages which many people speak, perhaps I won't learn Japanese, Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, German, Italian
I studied written Chinese. A tonal language like that would be impossible to learn beyond a certain age I think because of the maturation of the brain.
Russian doesn't sound so bad to me.
Me encanta japonés. (La verdad es que me gusta japonés más de español. Para mí, es el opuesto del Morbo.... me encanta el sonido de japonés!!! Pienso que español es mucho más dificil entender.) Me gustaría aprender chino y coreano. Pienso que será divertido escribir en coreano. Sé que es menos dificil que escribir en japonés.
I studied French for 6 years and German for 4 years when I was at school. I don't speak a word of either. I am finished with these languages, I will never again attempt to learn them. (Of course, I mean no offence to the good people of France or Germany)
I learned more Spanish in 2 weeks using CDs, books and an internet connection than 10 years using "teachers"
Go figure.
Thats messed up im asian dont hate
me gustan mucho el español y el portugues.
Most of the languages I have been learning and still am endeavouring to improve have,apart from English, had their roots in Latin: Spanish, French and Brazilian Portuguese to be precise - with just a smattering of Italian. When I worked for a short while as a care assistant in a Jewish home in England I took the opportunity of learning a few Hebrew words most of which I have to admit I have forgotten due to lack of opportunity to practise. lol
I mention this due to the fact that I would Not want to learn many languages of the world partly because so few opportunities exist to learn them even less to practise them.with native speakers. Where could anyone learn Catalan for example except the Cataluñian region of Spain e.g.: Barcelona and the surrounding towns. Where could anyone learn Tagalogue except the Philipines? I have to admit that a few langauges don't appeal to me on account of their harsh sounds eg German or complexity eg Russian, Dutch, or Polish.
I would love to learn every language but there are so many thousands of language I would never have the time and I definetly don´t have the brains.
No me gusta la música del alemán. Pero hace dos o tres años no oí nada especial en el español, y ahora... estoy enamorada completamente de él ![]()
Para mi, es dificil apprender lenguajes con letras en silencio. Those with silent letters that you spelled out yet do not pronounce. No offense, but like German and French.
