With the exception of Esperanto, German, and Turkish I'm on my own with the others. Japanese at first because I wanted to see uncensored anime and manga but fell in love with the culture so now learning with the knowledge of one day traveling to Japan. French because I like the language and culture. German same as French. Spanish because it is somewhat common in the U.S.. Turkish because I think it's unique. Esperanto because I like the optimism of the hope that one day it will become the world language.
For signifigance, I would say they are very much so since i hope to get into a job dealing with linguistics.

Either of those are good. Something that will earn me good money and allow for travel.

Uhm, well, hrm. That's awfully open ended. :XD
So I'm learning French (CZ is helping me but mostly I study on my own) in my spare time and I spend most of my time watching Spawn, my and CZ's little one. I'm working on getting back into school and I'd like to major in women's studies as an undergrad and library sciences for my master's degree. It's a far off goal but I'd like to teach as a professor someday as well and I'm not sure what I'd get my Ph.D. in - either women's studies or library sciences or both.
I love to game but don't spend nearly as much time with my consoles as I used to. Nowadays we're focusing on tabletops and board games like Settlers of Catan in order to spend more time with our offline friends.
I've also managed to successfully convert a few of my offline friends into online friends here at Menewsha. Although mostly they play the arcade games and dress their avatars. But we RP and that's cool.
Hey there, Zernita!

Thanks for the link!

I esp. like the mini dictionary at the side of the page. In most parts of the site when you click on an esperanto word an english equivelent pops up. if only other language learning sites were more like that...

That is a really neat feature! It has to be great for learning vocabulary.

Mkey, I can speak English but I want to learn America for my USA trip. :drool:
Ok, kidding, I'm not going to USA. I can speak Finnish, Swedish, French (I "can" speak it) and apparently I've studied Japanese. Ehehe,I was bored in school and couldn't get my ass to Russian lessons. :D I'm starting with it soon, tho. But hey I just stalked from the previous posts that you can speak Japanese too! NEEEEEE!!!! *Shivers* Ever used it outside school?

Still working on it. Living in the central u.s. doesn't provide many opportunities to chat with Japanese speakers.

Yeah, and trying to chat via internet is kinda... Meh, didn't even bother to try when I visited one chat! :D
Back in the school, we had these two Japanese teachers. Neither of them talked English well (2nd was teaching English) and I was just laughing when I tried to talk to them. I felt so embarrassed to talk to them! I don't know why I laughed but yey, that's my experience on using the language! :D
