No, but my mom thinks I should learn Chinese and Spanish because more people speak them than the scandinavian ones. rolleyes In other words more Useful than the one's i'm learning. sad
Any form of Chinese, because I won't be able to get the tones right and won't get the right meaning across and letters will be impossible to learn all of them.
Yes, Okinawan, Ainu, Kalaallisut (Greenlandic)
_Are there any languages you wanted to learn but, couldn't because of the other languages you are studying are in the way of learning it. Why or why not?
-Are there any languages you wouldn't learn even if you were payed to learn it. Why or why not?
Would you learn a language because your friends/everyone else is?

I wouldn't learn Japanese even if I were paid to learn it. It just sounds very annoying to me. Too 'bouncy' and/or 'silly' I guess you'd call it. Plus all the people who are learning it just because it's been 'the cool language to learn' ever since anime came into America really piss me off. I'm not saying that all learners are like that, but the very existence of those people disturbs me to no end. There are much better reasons to learn a language, thank you very much.
Besides, unless I wanna be a videogame programmer, there's not much I could do with Japanese anyway.
-Do you make a point out of listening to music in other languages just because it's sung in another language, and not really for the music itself?
-Likewise, do you make a point out of not listening to a language just because it's sung in a certain language?

No! I will never listen rap songs, regardless of the language. Opinion (sorry rap lovers): I think rap in a different language destroys how pretty the language is or makes an ugly language even uglier. Yes, If it's in a language I don't like will not ever want to learn I will not listen to it. Even if it's in the same music genres I like.
Would you learn a language because your work thought you could move ahead from what you are doing in that particular job? Why or why not?
Do you think just because a language course says they're the best language course in the world doesn't mean they really are? Why or why not (ie. Rosetta Stone, instant immersion, Mastering (insert language here)
