RE: Preparation: what's your nationality / native language? - Halogene - 10-27-2010
Nationality: German
Native language: German (surprise!)
Other languages: English, Finnish
I strongly recommend everybody to learn Finnish as a foreign language. It is the most beautiful language I ever encountered.
Plus, it is spoken by almost nobody (in relation to the world's population).

Finnish beautiful?
This is kinda odd, because you're not the first non-Finnish who has said that Finnish is beautiful. But to be honest, as a Finn, I think Finnish is kinda graceless and hard language.

And the hardest language to learn in Europe.. and it's not even an Indo-European language! (No relation to any other language in Europe). And since it's only spoken by barely 5 million people, how are you planning on practising it?
I've tried before with Norwegian, but everybody just replies in perfect English, so what's the point?

I know that Finns tend to think of their own language as harsh, but I find the Finnish people have a very sweet way of using their language. Like using "pösö" for "peugeot". Or "Bemu" for "BMW". This does not apply to cars only, but those are examples that came to my head now. Like "mersu" for "Mercedes".
And it is only harsh if foreigners (like Germans
) speak it. They just don't know how to pronounce soft consonants.Oh, I start to get carried away and leading this thread off topic. I should stop.

Basque imo. It's the only language that has absolutely no relation to any other European language. It's definitely unique and very special.
But also, from what I've seen.. BLOOMING HARD!

English (sort of)
Dabbled in Japanese before.
I once ate some shrooms and thought I could speak hindi, but I was wrong.

English. However, if you get me angry I might resort to my "angry New York English" language, which is something altogether different.

What are you waiting for? A "you people?" post? Don't get it.
Anyhow what you seem to be provoking is some kind of statement that skin colours don't have to do anything with nationalities nor languages. So let's all just acknowledge such statement was hereby made by me and get back to the topic of which languages you actually speak and where you're from.
I have learnt some french and latin too, but don't actually speak any of them.

Big thanks for taking part I'am gonna make a list of nationalities/languages soon and place it in the first post, so those who think that something is missing can react I think that this list can be also helpful if this idea comes to life.

Well hungary is sort of on an equally weirdo level with finnish isn't it. Only european languages with "ugrian" roots. Or however they are called.
