I know Hungarian, Russian and Spanish in addition to my native French. I'd learn Brazilian Portuguese just for the beauty of it and of Brazilian music. I'd like to get my 'revenge' on Japanese one day. I'd started learning it in my teenage years, but never got serious about it. Korean sounds appealing, just because there's something crazy and fascinating about Korean movies. And Indian language would be cool. And the language of pretty much any place I could visit for a few months! There's just too many to choose from! 🤯😄

I would love to learn Japanese as I hate looking at the subtitles when watching anime 😭

If I had to choose one language that I wish I could speak fluently, it would definitely be Arabic. Growing up, I was always fascinated by the rich culture and history of the Middle East and North Africa, and learning Arabic seemed like the perfect way to dive deeper into that world. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to study Arabic in school, and as I got older, it became harder and harder to find the time to learn a new language. But every now and then, I still find myself drawn to the beautiful script and the melodic sounds of the language, and I often daydream about the adventures I could have if I were able to communicate with people in their native tongue. Despite my lack of fluency, I have always tried to immerse myself in the language and culture as much as possible. I've studied Arabic grammar and vocabulary on my own, and I've even had the chance to visit a few Arabic-speaking countries and practice my skills with locals. It's not easy, but it's always been a passion of mine, and I hope that one day I'll be able to speak Arabic with the same level of proficiency as a native speaker. So, Arabic is the language I wish I could speak.

It was Spanish and I now speak it, so ideally I would love to have a non latin language that I could speak. Probably mandarin.

@rissy_miranda tell me about it! 😂 Anime is all about the animation and expression that makes them so unique and funny, would be a waste for not seeing it and get distracted with the subs instead
Rissy Miranda
@rahelitaluki so cute. anime's are fun to watch, but the subtitle reading restricts us from seeing the reactions haha.

@sharon_paunan Same. Japanese is an amazing language, but the learning curve is pretty daunting.
