Is it normal to study foreign languages for fun?

I can write in anglo saxon and ancient egyptian runes, that's pretty fun ..

NICE!!

I'm currently trying to learn Latin, French, and German. I know Latin is a dead language, but I don't care.

Some people do just like languages... I'm one of those people too (currently learning Spanish and Portuguese, coincidentally).

I do plan to work using them though. I'm a qualified English language teacher and hope to travel and work soon. Once I get fluent in something else I'll be able to find even more work :)

I heard if you master either Arabic or Japanese, all the earth's languages will become a piece of cake for you

Ofcourse it is

Yes! I have tried learning French, Spanish, Mandarin, Korean, Swahili and Greek. It's fun!

I think that is pretty normal, lots of people love languages for the most different reasons. I love them too. I'm currently learning Hebrew, Latin and Greek. I'm thinking of learning Arabic as well, once I'm better at Greek. I even started reading a very good grammar of Quranic Arabic, but I'm having a lot of trouble remembering the vocabulary, since I don't have the time to focus on Arabic right now. It's very interesting, though, and the grammatical system is already becoming familiar to me. I believe I would have found it much more difficult if I were not already advanced in Hebrew once I started reading the book, however. They share some very similar semitic patterns, so I got used to the first difficulties of Arabic much faster than most people from an Indo-European background would be able to.

It’s normal but it doesn’t seem worth the trouble to learn new languages as an adult. Why? Because adults are not like children. Children's minds quickly and easily pick up new languages, adults' minds cannot.

How are they related?

Normal. I went to Quebec. French soaked into my brain.

Absolutely! I do the same! I grew up in a Russian and Mansi speaking household, learned Chinese as a child, and took on Mongolian in my early teens. English is my 5th language and it’s the language I’m worst at speaking (I have a heavy Siberian accent) I’ve been thinking of taking in a new language but haven’t found the time yet

I am a native Arabic speaker, so if you need any help just hit me up buddy ;) I am learning German currently haha

I think studying a foreign language for fun is very normal, but I've only ever studied German and Spanish.

I used to when I was a kid. I'd ask every person I met if they spoke another language and I got any book I could find on the subject...it was the early 90's and I lived in a very small town so there wasn't much available. One library had an Italian course that was on records. My best friend's sister gave me her French book and I still have it almost 30 years later.

Yes it’s awesome!

Learning languages is pretty cool. I myself am fluent in English and Russian. I'm learning Spanish as well.
