Question

Yo nunca aprendería chino, japonés, alemán ni ruso. ¿Por qué? no me agrada el sonido de las palabras.

¡Hola Morbo!:)...Y qué harías si te gustara una chica rusa por ejemplo?...nunca aprenderías su lengua?:) - luz_72, Apr 20, 2010

Sorry Heidita, I never realized! I'm not very used to type in my new laptop... flat keys + quick fingers= mistakes - AntMexico, Apr 20, 2010

La rusa tendría que aprender español o inglés ;) - AntMexico, Apr 20, 2010

...je, je:)...tal vez a la rusa no le agrada el sonido de las palabras inglesas o españolas:) - luz_72, Apr 20, 2010

...I agree with chacksobaka and I apologize for having taken russian as an example, might have been any other language... - luz_72, Apr 20, 2010

no hagáis tormentas en vasos de agua por favor ;) - AntMexico, Apr 20, 2010

mi voto, morbo, todo esto es una tontería pronto con ser tan politicamente correctos no podremos decir ni lo que nos gusta ni lo que no...en fin, - 00494d19, Apr 20, 2010

Mi razón "no me gusta el sonido de las palabras" indica que yo no tendría ninguna motivación ni entusiasmo para aprender. ;) - AntMexico, Apr 20, 2010

Answer 1

If I was to learn another language, it would probably be french, german or italian. If there's a few I just couldn't do, it would be Mandarin or something with a whole lot of complicated characters!

I think I will just stick with Spanish though, french or italian could confuse me a bit because they are so similar to Español!

Answer 2

Pues quieren poner de moda el aprendizaje del chino, dicen que será el idioma de los negocios... próximamente... por que "China pinta para primera potencia mundial". Yo sinceramente dudo que otro idioma desbanque al inglés como el estándar mundial. Quizá algún día el español lo haga. Ahora en muchos institutos superiores se ven letreros donde se lee "aprenda chino". Yo no invertiría mi dinero en eso a no ser que fuera absolutamente necesario. Creo que están engañando a los estudiantes. :D

Answer 3

The other day, in this thread, I mentioned that I would not be learning Russian. I think all languages have their own individual beauty. However, for me, I tend to be more drawn to the romance languages. I really don't think I have the patience of learning a language like Greek, Russian or Chinese because they use an entirely different alphabet. For me, I think it is difficult enough to learn a second language even when that language uses the same basic alphabet system.

Some people just love to learn languages for the sake of learning them. I admire these people. For me, I really need to have some sort of motivation and goal to push me through the difficult challenges. I have many reasons for wanting to learn Spanish, so I think that will be my one and only language focus for now.

Answer 4

Vietnamese, if what I hear about it is true then it couldn't be further from English.

Answer 5

No hay una lengua que no probaría aprender, si tendría el dinero y el tiempo.

Ahora, estoy estudiando español y sueco (y hablo inglés con fluencia), pero en el futuro gustaría estudiar más lenguas.

Answer 6

I agree with nizhoni1. Any of the Asian/Pacific languages would be too alien for my old brain to deal with. My lazy study habits would not help, either.

Answer 7

Not meaning to offend if you are referring to what I said. I am commenting in terms of difficulty.
