Any Port in a Storm :: On the Plaza :: Where Words Collide :: Post MessageTopic Summary Posted by spindrift on Jul 16, 2009, 3:13pm I will check them out, for sure! Posted by rikita on Jul 17, 2009, 7:48pm good... Posted by kerouac2 on Jul 26, 2009, 6:12pm I think I need to learn a non-European language, but it is hard for to decide between 'useful' and 'personal pleasure'. Posted by lagatta on Jul 26, 2009, 6:28pm Yeah, I had been studying Arabic (and do beautiful calligraphy), but I had to concentrate on improving my Spanish in a hurry, so I pretty much dropped it. The problem at this stage of life is the balance between the time it would take to become fluent and the number of working years I can hope for. But learning languages is also important culturally and it is good for the brain.
