Another of Those What-Am-I-Thinking? Entries

The two languages I want to learn next, Gaelic and Russian, are insane. Not just in their orthography, although they're both private nightmares in that way (seriously, how can you get tahpuh lee from tapadh leat?), but also in things like adding random letter infixes in even more random places. And here I thought Latin was evil

I'm doing Arabic. Now *that's* fun... :) And one of my roommates is taking Russian this semester, so if you ever want to talk to (read: complain with) her about it I'm sure she'd be more than willing...

You are? Huh. You can talk to Emma and the Catnapper now. Oh, and the crazy Scotsman I hassle.

Complain with! Ha! I could start a complainers' club. We'd just add one of my friends who was in Honors Russian. Poor bastid.

Ive wanted to learn Gaelic for years.. (I think Im a bit too interested in my Irish heratige u_u;;) but after living in England and travelling in Scotland...

Gaelic is a bitch. Evil, awkward, and tongue twisting.

I still want to learn it though. ^^

Russian? I want to learn that too.

So good luck! I hope you succeed!

Well, I'm actually going for Scots Gaelic because I started learning it first. I know it's evil, but I want to learn it so bad.

Thanks. ^_^ Good luck with your own linguistic travails.
