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

[Soubriquet]

I really like the Spanish language. It sounds so musical to me

I know the odd word but nothing fluently.

I used to be fluent in German as I took it for my gcse but I haven’t spoken it in 10 years.

I would also love to be able to use BSL

German or Italian. I’m fluent in Spanish and French, so I think Italian would be easy and I have the basics in German.

I’m fluent in French, German, Portuguese and Turkish. I speak very good Spanish but hesitate to say fluent.

Ive always liked the look and sound of Hebrew so thatbwould be on the list although right now I’m doing Ukrainian on Duolingo. Absolutely nothing to do with what’s going on, just we met a Ukrainian girl on holiday and when she found out I knew 6 languages she said “Ukrainian next” We will hopefully see her again next year and I can show her what I’ve learnt.

I do speak a few other languages well - I'm fluent in French, speak Spanish and Italian to B1 and am competent in Japanese and Korean, having lived there for a while - but I'd like to speak some other non-Romantic languages, such as Farsi and Russian. I wish I had spent more time studying German at school.

I'm studying BSL just now!

Welsh, BSL, Latin and Italian......... in that order of preference.

I speak reasonable French, a little German and have a Latin O level, so my next language will be Spanish. I can manage tourist stuff but am by no means conversational, so that's my goal for this auumn. My favourite language app is Language Transfer.

My own language,Welsh,tried a few times and found it so hard,gave up.My daughter is doing Welsh as second language A level and doing really well,so proud

I speak French, German, Spanish and a bit of Italian. I've always wanted to learn a language with a different alphabet, so I've started doing Japanese on Duolingo. It's fascinating! I'm under no illusion that I'll get very far, as I don't have time to learn it properly. But it's fun and I'd love to visit Japan!

Would love to learn BSL.

I'd like to learn Arabic - my grandmother was from Jordan but emigrated to the UK during WW2 and I'd like to be able to communicate with my cousins - when I met some of them in the States (other family members went to the USA), our common language was French.

I studied Russian and French to degree level, did Spanish and Latin at GCSE, and did a very basic German course many moons ago so I'm not intimidated by languages - although Mandarin does intimidate me - the nuances of the various sounds are so tiny I can't imagine how long it must take to learn. Perhaps I will try in retirement!!

Yes, BSL would be interesting as well as potentially useful.
