[QUOTE="themajormayor"][QUOTE="whipassmt"] Do you know those languages? I think they are probably good assets for certain government jobs, like maybe being a translator for the CIA or state department or something like that.

Yes Arabic is a very big language. Unfortunately I am not very good at it.

Well it's true that there is no P in Arabic I looked this up and apperantly both are correct to use when speaking English:

"The official language of Iran is sometimes called Farsi in English and other languages. This is a correct transliteration of the native name of the language, however many, including the ISO and the Academy of Persian Language and Literature, prefer the name Persian for the language. Some speakers use the older local name: Parsi."

I always thought German would be a cool language for yelling and cussing in.

whipassmt

Yep, that's mostly it.

[QUOTE="themajormayor"] No I only know some arabic. But you're right they're really in the "hotspots" of the world right now. Would be cool to know.themajormayor

English is the only language I actually know. I took Spanish in High school and that can be cool. Italian and Latin also seem cool.

I also like Quenya but that's not really a real language.

[QUOTE="themajormayor"]

[QUOTE="whipassmt"] Well that could also open up some jobs for you in the same fields. On a related note "Farsi" is actually the Arabic word for Persian, the actual Farsi word for their language is Parsi (Arabic does not have the P sound in their language).

Besides my beautiful native Dutch, I really like the sound of Polish and Russian, both of which I don't speak (yet). I guess I like Spanish because I study it, but it can be a bit simplistic at times and I don't really like how adjectives work in Romance languages in general. I do love how the language is so consistent, though.

Arabic doesn't sound bad as people claim it be. Arabic is a vast language thus has various dialects. Maybe you heard one that wasn't pleasant to the ears. Same could be said of English.

Nice Arabic song.

I'm fine with just English. It is the only language I know, after all.
