What language should I learn?

What in school turned you off from learning languages? I've definitely had a few teachers who were just unbearable. I think it's important to find teachers who are of the ethnicity of the language. I've had white Spanish teachers before and ended up dropping a class after one teacher took off points for using words the class didn't know. I thought it would be an easy grade, considering I'm fluent, but the class was only infuriating.
Although my last Chinese teacher was pretty shit. She was too Chinese. Kept telling us to study harder. It was like her only advice. Plus her English was shit (my other teacher mastered in English) so some of my questions would get completely misunderstood and I'd eventually just give up on trying to get her to explain it.
I had a bully for a French teacher who made it abundantly clear that she intended to fail me from the beginning of the semester for personal reasons. Later I heard that she got fired for launching a stapler at one of her students, but it was too late for me and I dropped French.
I tried Spanish. I wanted to say more than I was learning, so I looked up more advanced words and used them on a test in hopes of making an impression. The teacher called me out for cheating and I had to bail out of that class or face discipline. This I can understand why I deserved, I should have seen it coming. Spanish didn't work out.
Anyway, I never picked up another foreign language but I have a fond wish to do exactly that. Maybe Quenya would be a low-pressure way to practice those cognitive skills. -

Well, first off, there is no garbage disposal in this house (I was release yesterday from the hospital so I'm back home now, if you or anyone else was wondering), and secondly, I'm all about being an amputee, but only with cutting my left leg off, to get rid of the bone infection/septic joint, and to hopefully rid myself of the excruciating pain that I have in my knee every step I take. I also think it would be cool since I already have a blue and gold macaw (parrot, for those who don't know), so all I would need is an eye patch to compliment what would definitely be the coolest peg leg ever.
Why be so angry? I made a pretty valid suggestion to you query. Granted, gaelic is damn near a dead language, and you won't find much use for it in the real world, but if you're learning to learn, and studying how different languages relate to one another, it's not a bad suggestion, although I can see why you may choose something different, but if Tolkien's elvish is in the table... Well, I personally would pick Gaelic over elvish, though that would be cool to learn. I did attempt to learn a little Quenya when I was younger. I was pretty obsessed with Tolkien's works when I was a kid, along with many authors from the Forgotten Realms universe (Salvatore, Greenwood, Byers, just to name a few).
Anyway, best of luck in your linguistic studies. -

Self censoring is just the way weak people with thin skin protect themselves from what they're scared to address. It's the equivalent of a child putting their head under a blanket, and sticking their fingers in their ears going "lalalalala, I can't hear you, boogie man in the closet".
I will return to this thread when quality users appear. Thank you.
I apologize if you're scared to read what I've had to say, assuming that you unblock and read this post sometime in the future. I'm sure others would agree with me regarding fear associated with those who self censor. -

2018-12-03 at 3:48 AM UTCFrom here on out, I'm just discussing languages/linguistics, as the thread is intended to do. §m£ÂgØL has no reason to read my posts, and that's fine, my posts are for the rest of the class. His ass can be left out, because he chooses to be left out.
You know, I think Latin would be a great language to learn. I really wanted to learn Latin because of my love, and passion for medicine. My mind isn't what it used to be memory wise, but I do have a bit of a grasp on some shit, and being able to figure it's meaning. Di- two, mono-one, poly-many, more than two, hema/hemp-blood, nephro-kidney, zero-dry, xeno- foreign, and so forth. I've probably forgot more than I remember regarding this shit, but I definitely do enjoy learning where I can about how words form, and meanings behind shit,and how it all links together. Hell, like the shit I have: osteomyelitis, breaking it apart, osteo- bone, myelitis- infection of the marrow (or spine). It's pretty cool. It's a good system too, imo. If I'm an English speaking doctor, and I have to transfer or deal with a patient being handed over to me, or collaborate with a foreign doctor, even if they speak another language, we at least can be on the same page regarding what's going on, and/or previous diagnosis' that patient has had or currently had. If I say "take this drug BID" then it's easy to see that they should be taking X drug 2 times a day as BID stand for the Latin phrase "bis in die". So even if we don't understand each others language, we can understand Latin in medical terminology. I imagine it would be especially important for emergency situations where one can't just shit out a translator on the spot, in the rare cases where a patient is in critical condition and being transfered to another hospital that doesn't speak the language of the hospital or doctor the patient originated from.
Anywho, who else wants to learn another language? What language and why? What do you think the hardest language would be to learn for YOU specifically?
I'll be honest, I'm not linguistically gifted as others here are,though I do admire and appreciate others who are bi (see, two!) or multi lingual,or those who strive and achieve learning other languages besides their native tongue.
I honestly think the best way to learn a new language is to just be plopped into a place that speaks that language. You'll have to sink or swim just to survive, so definitely more pressure and incentive to learn it, so I'd think if that's all you hear day in and day out, you're bound to pick it up rather fast. I'd personally prefer this method versus the alternative of being in a classroom, or even online shit. It's just too easy to just give up, where if you're depending on buying food, a calling card, or need to use the bathroom, you're bound to figure out how to communicate with people to get what you need, figure out directions, or find a public toilet.
Anyone disagree? If so, what learning style do you think is the best way to learn a foreign language? -
