What attracts persons who like learning languages? Hello, everyone! I would like to discuss a bit the topic about the attractions of languages. As for me, I truly like learning languages. I have already studied English for a long time at school, and I suppose that English isn't too complicated in grammar and phonetics, but the spelling is really difficult. I like learning languages, because I like to examine its structure, grammar, phonetics etc. Each language has its own specialties: for example, Chinese. Its grammar is rather easy, but the phonetics with its tones, the writing with its hieroglyphs... Oh! Japanese phonetics, on the contrary, isn't complicated (at least, for Russian). But its grammar... I suppose that the Japanese grammar is the most complicated grammar I have ever studied! French and Italian grammars are quite similar and also similar to Russian: each verb has conjugations according to the plural/singular form, first/second/third persons. By the way, I think, that studying verb conjugations is a bit difficult for Englishmen (correct me please, if this piece of information is wrong). I say it, because while studying Italian in Italy I spoke a bit with the old lady who was also studying it. She didn't conjugate the verb "essere", the verb "to be"! She said only the third person's singular form of this verb. So, in my opinion, the thing that attracts me in different languages is to study them and find out their specialties and difficulties.
