What language do you wish you spoke?

And even though it doesn't necessarily have a ton of practical application in my life, I am fascinated by it. So I'm curious if there are any languages you're learning right now or any languages you hope to learn someday, or even if you're someone that's like, I'm never actually going to put the time into learning another language, but you wish that you could magically be fluent in another one. Which one would you pick? And why

So many to choose from!

My Language Learning Experiences

But I went back to German eventually, and I've been working on that through Duolingo and one or two other apps. Hopefully it sticks a little bit more. I've been picking up on it pretty quickly going back to my high school days, but so far, so good. Hopefully, hopefully it actually sticks this time

I wish that I could speak Japanese for a simple, selfish reason of being able to watch anime without subtitles

Was thinking I was the only one who could wish for something like that here. I for one year wished for a chance if I could speak Japanese so I could actually watch anime with the readiness of the items. Pretty funny

But for me, like Italian, it's a little bit worse than Spanish, because in Spanish, I can understand what they're speaking sometimes just when they speak too fast. It's kind of hard, but Italian, it's weird, like the grammar. It's totally different. Not totally, but the way it's kind of hard to to keep to memorize that's it

I always have wanted to learn how to speak French. So that's the language I always wanted to. I like the, you know, France. I've always wanted to go. So pictures that I've seen in the media seems like it would have been a nice place to go. I don't quite know about right now, though, but, yeah, the French language set. Bye

Hebrew

The language I would like to know is Hebrew, to be able to read the Bible and the original sentence. And I have the translation else will be there. It's

I honestly wish I could speak every single language, if not every language, at least three. By now. I'm 17 years old. But if I kept working on it since I was 13, I'd be able to speak three languages almost fluently other than English, would be Spanish, Japanese, and German. I know quite a bit of Spanish, and I wish I knew more languages because I really wanted to be multilingual, so people would think I'm cool

@JaHender Sign Language

So going down the road of even more, I always talk about it. I even bought the Rosetta Stone things, and my brain is not really built for that. I'm much more left brained. And in College I actually took Turkish because it is a very mathematical language. It's just all Suffolk based, and there are no irregular verbs. And I have a lot of problem with sentence structure and irregular verbs
