Top Five Friday: Languages

Sorry this is late! Had a busy morning! Learning two languages is time consuming...

Alrighty, here we go! Going 5 to 1 today!

5. Spanish


Ok, before everyone comes at me with torches and pitch forks, yelling that everyone should know Spanish because Mexico is right next to us. This doesn't mean I hate Spanish, it's a good language. It's just the fact that EVERYONE HAS TO LEARN IT AT ONE POINT. And it's EVERYWHERE. Which is great, because they're right next to us. And it also has the same structure as English does when it comes to grammar. But I love Mexican food, I mean, who doesn't?

4. Latin

It's a dead language, but it's very interesting to see where all our root words came from! And even though you might never use it, you can freak out your friends when you start speaking in it. GO ROMANS (and Greeks)

3. Korean



I'm a bit biased, since I love kpop a lot. But I love the way that Korean sounds, all fast and you have to use your vocal cords in ways you didn't have to before. I love the structure of the language as I'm learning. It's simple and to the point. It's all about context, and endings.

2. French



J'aime francais tres bien! My first official learning of a new language taken almost two years of it now, and I love it! It's so pretty, and I'm excited for the day that I can go to France and ask a French person where the train station is. ;)


1. English



Learning a new language is fun, but I'm always happy when I realize that I know how to speak one already, English! It will always be the simpler of all the languages I know. And it will always be the one I come back to!


What's your top five Friday?
