Sure! I would love to learn other languages. Mainly so I can listen in on conversations and play those Japanese/Chinese games I weren't able to play before..

Plus.. I really like how the Japanese speak.

But yeah! ninja

Yup, learning a different language is a lot of fun!
I speak mostly Asian languages like Chinese and Japanese, so I want to start learning more European language such as German or Italian.

I love learning language, even if I never learn enough to hold my own in small talk. In fact, I'll see your "learn languages" and wager my "create languages."

For me, it's even more fun to work out the kinks in a constructed language than try to bend my mind to the will of an existing language. There's something so satisfying about expressing yourself in a language that perfectly fits the way you think, even if you're the only person in the room crazy enough to speak a made-up language. xd

Can't blame you!
I begun doing Russian before but at the moment I'm changing to hrvatski (Croatian) since I found out my great-grandfather is Croatian. I promised myself that once I finish Croatian (which seems to me entirely impossible) I'll go back to doing Russian afterwards.
I wish I could speak and understand all Slavic languages with just a click of the finger but things just don't work like that =P . Languages are never easy to take up (I don't know if that applies to all of you guys), even when they say 'Oh, [insert language here] is one of the easiest languages you can ever learn'... I envy those who can speak more than one language, particularly those who know 3 or more!
Well, I'm actually not taking lessons but I'm learning from a book, so I guess that's a reason why its pretty hard...

Me and my friend tried making up our own language, it was pretty crazy because the words were silly!

Then u r so going to be jealous of my cousin; he knows spanish, german, and a little english...and he's only 4 years old!!

I'm currently re-learning spanish...see, when i was 4 or 5, my school put me in a class to learn english because my first language was spanish. I was done with that class after several months, but i forgot almost all of my spanish!! The best part about re-learning my native language is that now, i can understand most of what my parents are saying when they talk to other people blaugh
Another language i want to learn is japanese, but so far, i know VERY little. sweatdrop

I'm learning sign language and I adore my teacher, she's the most awesome lady I know. My state doesn't consider sign language an actual language - dumb, isn't it? rolleyes - so if I want to apply my current two years of taking it as a considered-foreign language, I have to go to an out of state school.

I really wanted to learn German, as well; my school was going to have it as a teleconference class from a nearby college, but despite the initial poll of 70 students wanting to take the class, only 10 have said they'd sign up. Me included. And that's only a guesstimate. D= I tried to learn Spanish but I almost failed because it was so boring.

Personally, the three main languages I would love to learn:

Sign Language: I've always been fascinated with it, and I'm not quite sure why.

Japanese: ^^ My father was in the military so I was born in Japan. I would like to return there one day just to see where I live and to witness the culture. Plus, it would be awesome to finally understand the music I've been listening to for quite a few years now.

Tagalog: It's my mother's native language from the Philippines. It's unfortunate she didn't teach me her language when I was younger so I could be fluent in both English and Tagalog, but I can always try picking it up later. (For now, medical terminology is kicking my butt xD )
