6: Your least favourite language to listen to.
Totally cheating, but: Vogon ;-) (I don’t know that there’s any real language I’ve heard that I dislike the sound of.)
9: Your favourite word in a language you don’t really speak.
rudeneja (adj. Lithuanian) describes the way nature and/or the weather begins to feel like autumn - everything the spring gave dies in the most romantic and poetic way; the leaves start to change to warm colors, and the way they slowly and quietly float on air and fall into the ground, and the crunch sounds they make when people step into them are music to the ears; a perfect balance between warmness and coldness of the atmosphere, and the way it gives a cozy and comfortable feeling.
14: A language you like, but wouldn’t put the effort into learning.
I’m fascinated by the sounds of the Hadza, Sandawe, Khoe, and Tuu branches of language, but there are so many individual languages therein, it would probably take more than a lifetime to learn them all… It isn’t even that I wouldn’t put the effort into learning at least one of them…but, rather, that there are other languages I would probably learn first, as I have more practical need of them, and so the amazing languages of Tanzania, Namibia, Botswana, etc. I probably won’t ever have the opportunity to learn.
For that matter, I love the sound of French, but I rather doubt that I’ll ever learn more than a few phrases, despite the fact that my husband has a rudimentary knowledge of the language…just because there are other languages that are a higher priority in the learning queue.
Any and all of that subject to change. Life could conceivably offer an opportunity to move to Botswana, or Québec, or…? Who knows which languages I may end up learning eventually. I wish I could learn them all.
