Ancient Greek....I have a few friends taking it. It's hard and labor-intensive and archaic. Some concepts of it are really cool, like having another voice besides active and passive, but it builds quite a few concepts from the ground-up, and you don't have the convenience of knowing a language which is very similar (like Latin, or any romance language, or German even).

Yea that would really be the problem with most ancient languages they sound cool and all but they would be a crazy amount of work and time to learn and really get good at.

Oh to answer your question I've tried to teach myself Italian on multiple occasions but get ADD and lose focus and forget about it for a while.

I would probably do the same if I tried teaching myself a language even if I loved it.

And learning them would be pointless because there's no one to talk to.

Also, this isn't about me.  But today, I learnt that there's a girl at my school who's actually able to speak both English and German.  I don't know why, but I found it pretty surprising.  Though, I wonder if Belgian German is as silly as Swiss German.  n_u

What languages do you speak/what languages are you learning if you can't quite speak it well?
Why did you choose to learn it?
And if you could choose any language that has existed to learn what would it be?
