Alex: not so cool to me though,
but I appreciate your passion
me: what is your favorite one? if you have any, of course.
Alex: difficult to say, for quite a long time it wasancient Greek...
although this is not a language I SPEAK
me: don't know anything in Greek
Alex: from the spoken ones it was Spanish
til I started studying Icelandic...
but as Icelandic ( or rather the Icelanders have become so boring....
me: really?
Alex: presently I think it´s Estonian
I´ve started recently to learn Estonian...
I had aleady my first guided tours on Estonian here in the museum...
me: i don't have a clue of these languages... don't even know how they sound
Alex: with me as the guide, of course!!
me: it is great that you get to practice the languages you study
Alex: your´re right; regarding the sound, I think it is ancient greek....
if you´re listening to Homer or so in the "original" language (meaning of course a kind of reconstruction, as we don´t have any records from then...
me: been currently taking Chinese and I confess that I am not enjoying much because of they it sounds... written Chinese is exquisite
Alex: greek is like music
at least ancient greek
