If you could speak another language, what would it be and why?

For me it would definitely be Spanish. So many people speak it worldwide. I'm 4 days off getting a year long streak on duolingo (shit flex I know) and am doing a TEFL course in Costa Rica in September for 4 weeks and hope to massively improve my conversational Spanish then. What would you chose and why? Or do you already speak another language or other languages?

Spanish - started to learn at senior school, parents bought a holiday place in an area where few locals spoke good English so from age 13/14, I was family translator and interpreter. I continued to study Spanish at uni alongside my actual degree and have kept myself active in the Spanish/Latin American community around where we live.

Dutch - I find relatively easy having learned German and as an English native speaker.

I personally think Spanish is easier than German, especially the grammar, but I think my perception of easy is skewed. I do find languages easy to learn in general and have been told (by Mr KC) that me saying something is easy isn't applicable to all!

Costa Rica is beautiful but a friendly advice, look after yourself as can be a dangerous place too (go out in groups).

I used to speak French but lost it as did not used it, still speak 3 languages. English is not my mother language. Would like to start again with Spanish and Italian (kinda speak a very broken one, both of them) and Japanese (a culture that always attracted me).

Enjoy your trip and share your experience with us

Welsh because I live in Wales and it would be apt, even though most people in Cardiff don't speak it.

A refresher of Spanish and French so my years in school don't feel like wasted time

Swedish because my knowledge of Danish should make it fairly easy to pick it up and I could impress my colleagues. Same with Italian, it would help in work.

¡Hola!

Spanish is my first language and I have been a qualified TEFL teacher for 25 years. I also used to teach Spanish, but teaching English is sooo much easier! Spanish is really difficult to master, so good on you for persevering!

I speak intermediate French but not really fluent. If I could speak another lamguafe I’d like it to be Mandarin or Arabic.

Unfortunately pretty much which is why it’s so hard to learn Latin as there’s very little Latin speakers however it can help learning other languages especially Latin’s daughter languages such as French and it can help if you work in career’s like history, archaeology, science (for scientific names) etc

Science is a lot of Greek too. Greek and Latin, but also lots of other languages. Arabic, especially in Maths. Learning Latin isn't a pre requisite to learning extant languages.

That’s true; I’m learning Latin at the same time as learning French so that’s probably where I think it’s easier at least it is for me then again I couldn’t tell you anything I’ve actually learned in Latin

I can relate to this - language learning is very intuitive for me and my brain makes connections across languages very easily. Obviously, everyone's brains are wired up differently and I know some people really struggle to get their heads round a new language.

So, in terms of how long it takes to learn, your own aptitude is a crucial factor. As it is with may things e.g. driving a car etc.

Hurrah, a fellow picker-upper of languages. I too find it easy to link languages and make connections with similarities across languages. For example, some Spanish words influenced Dutch (with the historic connection between the two, it's not unexpected) and this helped me to recognise and learn them.

"BSL because I want to

Me too. I have a friend who uses it and it would be useful in noisy situations. "

Once I’m through learning what I’m currently learning I have a course lined up

"Female.... I swear they speak a whole language that I don't understand!

It's generally the opposite of what they say.

Him..Are you okay love ?

Her..yes. = no

Him..have I said or done something to upset you love ?

Her.. no=yes you bloody have.

Him..well love , I'm glad we cleared the air after that argument. It's nice we're okay now isn't it.

Her..yes love = you're in for it. I'll make you pay somehow. "

What does "fine" mean? Is it ever said without an underlying sense of sarcasm?

I've know English and Welsh, though I rarely use Welsh here in England, it surprising how many people do speak it around here though... I've probably forgotten most of it by now.

I would be interested to learn almost any language but I just don't have the patience for it. Because my school forced me to learn French (I definitely can not speak French, even then) I've been put off learning languages. I wanted to learn German and Spanish was not an option in my school.

"Esperanto "

It’s quicker than you might think. I learned it in my youth, only took a couple months to become relatively proficient. Not overly useful though
