So since there is further interest in my language learning here's the thread about it!

So this is basically a goal I've set in my life that may or may not be accomplished but even if I just get to intermediate level in several of them I'll be happy with that. So beyond ASL I'm very much below an advanced level. That's not to say I don't have further things to learn in ASL but I know enough to follow random ASL vids I've seen on the internet. Generally I just need to pay attention to understand. Anyways here's a list of some of the languages I plan to learn.

Hebrew
German
Avestan
Russian
French
Italian
Japanese
Korean
Chinese Mandarin
Chinese Cantonese
Irish Gaelic
Welsh
Thai
Latin
Klingon
Elvish(well if there is an entire language to learn from that)
Portuguese (Brazilian and Portugal)
Greek
Esperanto
Turkish
Eskimo
Konkani
Sanskrit
Arabic
Multani
Persian
Manx
Uriya
Icelandic


As an aside I've also memorized the majority of Narn and some bits of Minbari in Babylon 5. Centauri and Vorlon is just random text so nothing worth memorizing there. But yeah something like "Neh" is "no" in Minbari. "Nefreek" is "mindwalker" or telepath in Narn. They're not complete languages but I tended to remember those terms nonetheless.

Oh yeah and I can recognize some of morse code too.

As for why I'm doing this? Well, I just want to is all. Though with Russian I have a separate motive. It annoys me that I don't fully understand Russian. I can read it now(mostly) but yeah my small vocab annoys me. Until that annoyance goes away I won't stop learning it.

So yeah thread made. Questions, comments?
