#language everything!

Best decision of my life to have applied and gone on such a wonderful program and be immersed in Russian language for an entire summer! Happy 10th anniversary!

Just noting for future reference- once I reach a comfortable point with Russian which will probably be, like, never, because languages are beautiful complex pieces of artwork I want to know intimately and not just move on abruptly, I would also love to have skills in some other languages such as- Arabic! It looks beautiful, it is sure useful, and the bragging rights would be cool😊 I've already tried to start the alphabet, but with such little time on my hands due to school and other priorities, my entire list seems far-fetched. Ah well. One can certainly dream. German! It's hard to find many people interested in Russian who don't also fancy German! (A very odd coincidence I have come across) Germany is a neat country I want to visit and I want to be able to pronounce these infamous compound words that drag on for three pages {call me crazy} Spanish! I studied it for two years in junior high, but have since abandoned to study Russian! So tragic, I know, and I haven't practiced so my abilities have gone on a downward spiral. Anytime I try to summon my Spanish knowledge, all that comes out is Russian. Spanish is a pretty commonly spoken language! Just think of all the ideas and conversations I could have with others! French! Language of romance and fancy accents! And of course many many other entrancing aspects, especially French music! It is by far one of my favorites! Maybe some day I will actually be able to understand Stromae's catchy verses without using google translate 😂 ------on a separate note! There is this strange curse to be entranced by so many beautiful intricate languages with such rich cultures but MIX THEM UP as attempting to speak them!!--------- - This is by far not the only language list I am interested in, my sincere apologies to all of the languages I failed to mention, but for length's sake, I don't want to take too much of my lovely followers' time (honestly I refer to you all as friends because the langblr community is family to me- you all have gotten me through so much!)
