If I could, I would learn every language there is, and logically, that can't happen (unless you're Emil Krebs). However, I do want to study linguistics and break down languages scientifically more as the years pass. My native language is Hungarian, which isn't as big of a nightmare as people make it out to be. Okay, it might prove so as the longest word in the language consists forty-four letters. However, in English the chemical name of titin has 189,819 letters! Then the fact still remains that English has 7 million words when the average speaker only knows 10,000 to 20,000! I'm getting off topic and will stop at this moment.
Now, when one reads my signature, they see that I'm already studying three languages. Since I'll be going to France next year, I wanted to pick up French so that my travel will be easier (and that I was curious about the silent letters). For Korean.. Hangul. It is the most scientific writing system in the world - and was specifically made to be easy! Finally, we have Norwegian. Truth be told, I'm not too sure for my reasonings for this one. I wanted to get into a Scandinavian (or, technically, North Germanic) language, and Norwegian stood out to me in ways I can't explain. Perhaps later I'll move to Norway, for I'm better suited in colder climates. Free healthcare is always a plus!
More languages that I want to learn include: Russian, Romanian, Turkish, Czech, and Hindi. Due to my interest in Ancient Egypt that started early, I would very much so like to study hieroglyphics. Old and Middle Persian would also be nice (not to mention Proto-Norse!).
