I had a chance to learn German when I lived there, but only learned enough
to buy stamps - I used to be a collector. Then, I had the chance to learn
Vietnamese when I was in Vietnam, but gave up when I found that each word
can have 7 meanings and 7 different inflections. I learned a little Japanese
when I was in the hospital there after I was injured in Vietnam. It too uses
inflections and I wasn't there long enough to learn adn then didn't care.
But if I were to recommend a language, I would say Chinese.

The Tactic? Learning a foreign language! That's it. I know, we Americans
hate 'learning' stuff we don't NEED to know, unless it's 'entertaining'.
Eg. we resisted the more logical Metric System tooth and nail, 60% of us
have never read a single book after High School, and we spend an average
of 21 hrs. a week watching TV. So, When you MAKE time to learn a new
language, which one have you always wanted to learn to enhance the
enjoyment of your hobby?


How ironic. A WebTV user touting higher learning. Keep trying and you may
someday learn to use a computer.
