Which language you like most?

[csspostal]

Russian, because it is rich and beautiful, and mournful, and idiosyncratic, and odd and you can sink your teeth into it (as well as anyone standing nearby while you are speaking it.)

+1 for you sir I'd learn it just so I can go to a country that loves Vodka as much as I do. Of course I want to learn Japanese just so I can ask direction to a vending machine that sells Beer in Tokyo

I can see this going very bad places depending on if you ask someone who wants to play practical jokes on you

C'mon Pete. Don't be shy. Spill the beans!

And in the UK as well. Years ago I found a petrol station with a massive vending machine standing in the courtyard. Put your money in and it would deliver you a tin of live worms. Even more puzzling, the garage was in North Herts. North Herts is chalk downland, with not a river in sight.

Local cuisine?

English. Oh, and Fortran 4, maybe basic

From my point of view, among all languages the most beautiful is Spanish, English and French. I speak English, and I'm learning Spanish as well.

Wow! Chu vi parolas esperanto?

I didn't think anyone did any more. I learnt it as a kid. I don't know whether it was stupid, but it was bloody boring. It seems to have ended up being a bridge language used by the Chinese as a stepping stone to teaching English, since it is based on a simplified and regularised European-style grammar. (Not universal then.)

Loved the vending machines, by the way!

I love to Hong Kong or Chinese movies with subtitles- in Mandarin or Cantonese!
