    I was just wondering if anyone else on the forum studies any languages I myself have been studying Russian for the past few months, if you speak any other languages or just want to learn any please leave the name of the language and reason you would like to or why you learnt it.

    :)

    Russian or Japanese would be pretty interesting. At some point, I might also do German again, I dropped it at school because my teacher was a creepy pedophile, and Latin was way more awesome.

    Mandarin and Hakka. Never actually learned those, but I'm trying to begin with Mandarin.

    Since I'm from Brazil, I've been learning english now for about some 10 years. I'm leaning to learn maybe German or French.

    I studied French and it was probably the most useless language I could of learned. I should have picked Spanish or Latin.

    Espanhol soa muito estranho, português é melhor.

    No, Español no suena raro. Portugués suena raro.

    Latin is probably more useless, though. It was worth it, though, it's very awesome. I did get a bit of German and French, but for what I speak is really only Dutch and English.

    Latin is useful if you want to get into a science field. And it really helps you on your SATs as you can simply deconstruct a word to find its meaning.

    Spanish was the most boring language of all time, I need to drop out of the class as it bring down my GPA.

    Do they really still look if you did Latin? I thought it was getting less and less relevant. I do agree that it can help with other languages, though.

    You get Spanish or French, which the French teacher hates everyone.
