Take the Which foreign language should you learn? quiz.

I want to learn a language that is useful.

Absolutely! Somewhat Not necessarily Actually, I prefer relatively obscure languages Actually, I like ancient/dead languages

When it comes to scripts/alphabets...

I want to learn a language that uses the exact same alphabet - not even any slight variations such as accents. I want to learn a language that uses the same alphabet as English, but don't mind if there are slight variations such as accents I don't mind learning another alphabet, as long as it has some similarities to the one we use in English. I don't mind learning an alphabet that's relatively different. The more exotic, the better!

Irregular verb conjugations?

Yes, please! Some are ok, but not too many... Fewer is better No, thank you

Which of these regions/cultures do you find to have a fascinating culture/history? (check all that apply)

Western Europe Central Europe Eastern Europe Middle East East Asia South America Central Africa Northern Europe Acient civilizations

What type of sounds in a foreign language appeal to you? (check all that apply)

Throaty R's and thick "ch" like in "loch" Very 'heavy' consonants such as heavily rolled R's and heavy, stressed, D/Sh/J/B/etc sounds The more vowels, the better! Lots of nasal sounds (m, n) as well as lots of t/d, b/p, and v/f/h Anything that sounds very soft and gentle I'm more interested in literary aspects of a language than speaking

In English, we say "I eat an apple." I is the subject, eat is a verb, and the apple is the object, so the word order in English is Subject-Verb-Object. Would you be ok with learning a language that used a different word order?

No, I want to learn a language that uses the exact same word order as English I would like the language I learn to use a similar order but I don't mind if it's slightly different in some sentences I want a language that's very flexible with word order and lets me say words in almost any order I want A different word order sounds interesting - Subject-Object-Verb (I the apple eat) appeals to me A different word order sounds interesting - Verb-Subject-Object (Eat I the apple) appeals to me

Some languages, instead of using many seperate words to convey ideas, do so by adding suffixes another word. Eg instead of saying "I want to eat" you would have something like "I eatwant." This is called agglutination. Hot or not?

Very hot! Pretty hot =) Kinda hot So so... Not hot

Some languages add endings to some words to show their function in a sentence. For example, if "X hits Y," in such a language you might have something like "X hits Ya" with the extra 'a' added to that word to show that Y is the object (receiving the action

I don't like it, it sounds complicated! It doesn't seem too much like my thing, but I don't mind if there's 1 or 2 different forms for each noun It seems fine, I don't mind learning a language with maybe 4 or so forms for each noun Cool, I wouldn't mind learning a language with 6-7 different forms for each noun! Wow, awesome! That sounds amazing, I'd be willing to learn a language with 10 or more forms for each noun

What about reading/literature/books? (check all that apply)

I love reading and am fascinated by literature - I would want to learn a language that allows me to read a lot of great stuff in I would like to learn a language that would allow me to reading religious scriptures in their original version I'm interested in ancient/classic literature I like poetry I like literature that reveals a lot about a country's history/ethnic identity I'm interested in fairy tales

Music/movies? (check all that apply)

I like fantasy/adventure movies I like pop/dance music I like hard rock/metal I like movies with ironic/surprise endings I like romantic movies I like instrumental music I like Middle Eastern music I like dramatic movies with violence

What do you think of dialects?

They're really cool! I'd like to learn a language with lots of different ones I don't mind them, even if there's a lot of them, as long as they're still more or less understandable I don't like different accents but think its cool if some dialects use different words I don't like it when some dialects have different words, but I'm all for different accents/pronounciation I prefer minimal differences of dialects The less different dialects there are, the better

Different tenses (eg I eat, I am eating, I do eat, I ate, I have eaten, I will eat, I am going to eat, etc)?

Heck yes! One can never have enough tenses in a foreign language A variety is good, possibly more than in English Same number as in English, please Slightly less than in English The fewer, the better!

What about vocabulary?

I want to learn a language that has many words similar to English I want to learn a language that has some words similar to English I want to learn a language that may or may not have words similar to English, but has many words similar to a lot of other langu I don't mind if some words ressemble English but I would prefer if most were different The more exotic the vocabulary, the better!

Should the pronounciation of a word be obvious from its spelling?

Yes - very obvious, 100% of the time Mostly, but I don't mind a few variations as long as they follow a pattern that can be figured out I don't mind variations, even if there isn't always a pattern to help me figure it out The wilder, the better!

People who use big words confuse me - I prefer shorter, simpler words.

Strongly agree Agree Disagree Strongly disagree
