Until 9 years, as a kid, I never learnt my mother tongue itself. Just english and trying to understand what everyone talks plus few words of Tamil was what I did. It was something like a language mix. I really don't remember what I used to talk then. That's how it went, since situations demanded. I remember the days later, how my mom made me learn Telugu during summer holidays. Ofcourse, later I scored and learnt well:)). But still, there are many things to know like telugu sahithyam, slokalu, padyalu n what not. Slowly, later came Hindi. But, I am not too much into it.
When I was in Inter, I had options in languages. You can take Sanskrit or French n ....:( hmm..., this is what I remember. I did not choose to learn French since I felt I need to learn an Indian language. So, I took Sanskrit. But now, who talks in Sanskrit(didn't have that thought then, right....no guide too). Now, I feel damn why did not I take French since it was a complete new language to learn and experiment with. :)) Ok...Let that be.... I now feel Spanish is easier than French. So just started to learn few words in it out of curiousity(but not mastering it though). Some words like:
hola for Hello,
buenos dias for Good Morning,
buenas tardes for Good Evening,
buenas noches for Good Night,
adios for Goodbye,
mucho gusto for Pleased To Meet You,(n many more)
are really sweet. Just love the pronunciation since it's different, right. N sush, I remember how we both tried to talk in Spanish a few months back. Really great.
I feel, atleast knowing the basic words in 1 language per country, can be a good hobby. Just got the idea. Now will try to learn something like Japaneese.:))
