Choose the language I will be learning! - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

So I decided today I will be learning a language in the next 6 months, being that I won't be in school for awhile, I still want to learn.

So I give you my choices. Now Choose for me! ^_^

EDIT: I don't want to learn Spanish because I already semi know it, so I don't really want to "learn" it again.

And on the basis of choosing, make sure its a language you think I should learn just for the sake of learning it , not based on its difficulty. I don't mind a challenge ^_^

French would be perfect for you, and you could have me as your EC teacher

Cheria · 24th Aug 2009, 02:29 PM

Oh hey, German is still winning.

carrie90 · 24th Aug 2009, 02:29 PM

Italian it's so sexy or Spanish

Goethe · 24th Aug 2009, 02:30 PM

i think german is sexy!

Psychedelic Bookmarks · 24th Aug 2009, 02:33 PM

Japanese is ace.

**Ben** · 24th Aug 2009, 02:34 PM

Honour your Italian blood, JoJo.

partietraumatic · 24th Aug 2009, 02:37 PM

If you want to be romantic Italian

If you wanna shout at people agressively then German

Oooh, oooh, moi aussi! (Me too!)

I think it'd actually be kinda funny if you spoke French, but also extreme wicked sweet nasty awesome. :'D <3

Fais ton choix, Joey, toute de suite!

**Filip** · 24th Aug 2009, 03:45 PM

Learn Dutch! It's an awesome language!

Seriously, though, of the list presented, I would lean towards Italian. As Ben says, it would be honouring your heritage. If you'd visit Italy it would be nice to speak the language.

French and German and Japanese can be useful languages in different situations, though. French has the advantage that a lot of people here speak it. So it would be useful to have some practice...

GhostDog · 24th Aug 2009, 03:50 PM

I am somewhat biased towards Russian, ehehe. It's like speaking a language based entirely on tongue-twisters. My Polish friend gives me crap for taking it though, haha!

But as to your list, I think French is totally hawt! But so is Italian. Hmm.

I think I would say French, though! =D

Joey... Italian = Joey! You need it!...

Btw, I first thought this was Sean asking for linguistic recommendations. XD I was like, "ANOTHER FREAKING LANGUAGE?!"

Shevanel · 24th Aug 2009, 04:02 PM

I closed the thread and Decided on French.

Keep in mind, I WILL be learning these other languages at some point, I just needed to decide on the starting one ^_^

I also have a deep desire to learn Russian, and Korean, and other languages

So like. Yay!

Thanks Guys!
