An artificial language, especially one like Klingon or the language spoken in Lord of the Rings. I imagine that you'd have to spend a lot of time at those freaky Trekkie conventions to learn to speak coherently!

I would not bother to learn a language devoid of a written literary tradition.

On the top of the list is Mandarin; I can't stand the sound of it, have no plans of visiting the places where it's
spoken, and it seems pretty difficult with all of the different characters... Along with that, Spanish, French, Russian, Hebrew... I just have no interest in them, and really don't like the way they sound. *As well as Arabic and Greek Edited by Lindsay19 on 23 November 2009 at 5:26am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I would say Korean because it sounds monotonous (every sentence seems to end in either nida, nika or yo), and seem fiendishly difficult. Difficulty isn't an issue, but studying such a difficult language for something you don't really like the sound of isn't worth it.

Yup, I would have to go with that one. Or some central African dialects? No use for me since I have absolutely no travel plans for that region and probably pronunciation would be awkward. Edited by Aquedita on 23 November 2009 at 6:23pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Interesting thread. I'd probably have to go for one of the Asiatic languages (Thai, Korean, Japanese, Mandarin) since I've never been particularly interested in them sound-wise and learning the different writing system seems like a lot of work even though I do think it looks pretty, particularly Chinese.
