[十] 語言

Realization that I am studying so many languages.  ^__^  Languages are probably my favorite subjects in school.  I also feel that being multi-lingual is a very important skill to have, one that a lot of people in the United States just don't seem to have..  D:  Languages are like keys.  When you first learn to communicate with your mother as a baby, it opens up a sort of door that allows you to communicate with the rest of the family.  As you go through the stages of picking up your first language, it opens a door to a room filled with even more people that it's now possible to communicate with.  Each new language you pick up is like that: another open door to another whole new group people to meet.  And that fascinates me.  Perhaps I should look into linguistics and foreign language more in college?  But Psychology is really fun also.  haha  Who knows where I ultimately end up at..  It will be fun to find out.  Curious? Here's a list of the languages I'm studying:
-Filipino/Tagalog (First Language)
-English/Engrish (Second Language  xD)
-漢語 (Mandarin)
-한국어 (Korean)
-福建話 (Common Chinese Dialect spoken in the Philippines, mutually intelligible with Taiwanese)
-廣東話 (Cantonese)
-日本語 (Japanese, still in the basics)
-French (Still only know a few words but I've started)

These are the languages I will start eventually:
-Italian (always been fascinated by this one)
-German (sounds easy)
-Spanish (only coz a lot of people in the US speak it)
-Vietnamese (the next difficult one after Korean and Japanese)
-Thai, Cambodian, Lao (don't even know where to begin with these.. but it's a dream I'll go for)
-Malay (the roots of the Filipino language)

I wish i could just instantly speak them all..
