1.) What is your favorite language?
2.) Why is it your favorite language?
3.) If you do not speak it, do you plan on learning it?
4.) How old were you when you discovered this was your favorite language?
I will go first!
1.) My favorite language is British English.
2.) It's my favorite language because it sounds utterly sophisticated and, I can't help it, beautiful. Yes, I absolutely love the accent of the British. The American version is comparibly ugly and boring. I mean, I love to use the "F" word as much as the next person, but when you think about it... it's so "ugh..." Saying "bloody" in its place is a much more fun way to say it. It also amuses me that the British to have a distaste for the letter "H" and "Z" because they never say them or, in the case of the letter "Z" they are changed to the letter "S." Now, Im' only joking about that, but if you look at the spelling of such words like realize, organize, apologize, which all have a "Z," which also, to me, makes the word look interrupted because asise for the "L" all the letter are nice and round. But then the "Z" shows up with its jagged edges, shattering the flow.
3.) I want to learn the British spelling for words and I really want to learn the slang. Senshi, being the awesome person that he is and happens to be from Wales, is teaching me British slang and some Welsh.
I actually used knob head (I said knob 'ead) when getting cut off on the highway. I hate that.
4.) And I discovered this as my favorite language when I was ten and going through my Harry Potter phase.
So... who else has a favorite language they would like to share?
