Re: languages are fun. That depends. Palatine Send a noteboard - 12/08/2010 08:03:06 PM
I hope to pick up Greek around my boyfriend and his family. Learning languages broadens your horizons.


"Pick up," you say. But you don't think you're going to learn Greek that way, unless you spend a lot of time speaking and listening to it. And unless you're going to marry your boyfriend, you're not going to take a course in Greek, are you?

The reasons for why not are in the replies above.

Languages can be fun, but not necessarily for everyone. If he wants to learn it because it'll be fun or it'll broaden his horizons, then he probably should.

It shouldn't be too hard to find a book + CD you can learn from. Why is software so important? *NM* Tim - 11/08/2010 05:38:48 PM 357 Views

Yeah, it would be silly to waste your time on Devanagari when you need to learn the Arabic alphabet. Legolas - 11/08/2010 05:48:22 PM 809 Views

I think you're missing the important thing here. Why does she want you to learn it? *NM* Palatine - 11/08/2010 06:32:58 PM 317 Views
Because she speaks to her family/friends in her language and doesnt want me left out Dark Knight - 11/08/2010 06:38:00 PM 709 Views
