I'm not always the chattiest. I never listen to others convos. I generally have apathy towards personal business unless its directed towards me or about me. But when I hear others speak in a foreign language it draws out a nosey side of me that doesn't normally exsist. I wanna know what they're talking about. Are they talking about me? The person next to me? The person next to them? Their friend's baby shower? How ugly-cute their friend's baby is?
I adore language. Even if its spelt like crapt & spoken like slang..as long as its understandable its awesome.
I study a couple. My main squeeze being German. Japanese my weeby 2nd that I feel to embarrassed by to even continue.
However, as much as I'm inspired to learn them bc of my interest in their cultures & the pure sound of its words, I don't feel I -stay- inspired to learn them. Simply bc I know very little in my community who speak it. As for an example, I use to work around Russians. Out of wanting to learn polite phrases I learned a few Russian phrases & noticed I learned them quicker than I would say, Japanese phrases. I even picked up the accent often on the job bc I heard it soooo much!
So now I desire to invest more time in a language.
