Hey, was curious on how you decided what languages you wanted to learn and since you wanna be a polygot based off what your bio says what other languages you want to learn and why?

hello!! so currently, my main target language is Russian and

honestly. hearing Bucky speak it in The Winter Soldier when i was 8 probably unlocked some weird part of me lol (also Sebastian Stan himself knows Romanian! very cool!)

the more serious reasons:

* i used to be quite 'afraid' of the cyrillic script - i thought that id never be able to learn it, that itd never make sense without lots of help. so i guess im trying to take it on a challenge, to prove something to myself

* Russian is one of those languages that, i feel, a lot of non-Slavic Americans hear and characterize as 'harsh-sounding', like some people do with German. but i dont think they sound harsh - just different, obviously as my native tongue is English. i wanted to break down that belief for myself, because i find Russian to sound very beautiful and smooth

i want to learn Spanish because my mom's grandfather was from Mexico and came to America, and she grew up with only a couple things of her Mexican heritage intact, and me and my sister grew up with none. a way of reconnecting, to open doors we didnt get to have, and for my children in the future

learning Spanish is also a good idea for really any American, because of the large population of Latine people here. i wanna be able to make friends, help people, communicate with coworkers and strangers

those are my top two languages currently but id ultimately love to know French, Japanese (my partner's target language), German (also for heritage reasons), Hebrew/Yiddish, Na'vi and Klingon (im a geek ^w^) as well

thank you for the questions!! i hope the long response is okay ૮꒰◞ ˕ ◟ ྀི꒱ა
