          I want to learn Bhutanese.

          This will be valuable in the future, trust me.

            I can't tell if you're being serious or not. I never said learning Arabic would be useful just that I'd like to learn it. It probably will be useful eventually seeing as it has the second most amount of people speaking it.

                Surely that would be Mandarin?

                  No, for that he'd have to have an Indian accent 😆 .

                  Edit: Isn't Mandarin #1? I don't know, it's far up on the list somewhere.

                      Depends whether you're counting people who speak it as a second language…in that case that one called English is pretty popular, I hear.

                                    Here's Wikipedia's list:

                                    1. Mandarin
                                    2. Hindi/Urdu
                                    3. English
                                    4. Spanish
                                    5. Arabic

                                    I think that I was thinking of Islam being the #1 religion instead of Arabic being the #1 language :ermm: .

                                      Christianity is the no.1 religion. Islam is maybe half of that in followers.

                                        It's not half, it almost the same amount of people. I had heard Islam had surpassed Christianity but apparently I was wrong. Again :cwy: .

                                          Islam is a long lonnnnnggg way from overcoming Christianity in population.
                                          One look at global trends in religion should tell you it would be laughable that Islam would have surpassed Christianity at any point in recent history.

                                          Maybe in the 700's it did.

                                                I don't think people here are comprehending of the difference between 1.5 and 2.1 billion.

                                                  my passion is to learn a bunch of useless facts to post on messageboards

                                                    A quick google gives me these approximate stats:

                                                    Chritianty: 2.1 billion
                                                    Islam: 1.5 billion

                                                    that's just identity right?….in this era it's so rare to find a true follower.:wassat:

                                                        Indian is English.

                                                        Maderine has the most Native speakers, English has the most second-language speakers, and Spanish is pretty high up there too.

                                                                      I would totally like to learn Arabic too. Arabic or Russian. Would I have to pick between those two I would probably pick Russian, tho. What I really should do is find my old school books and get my Swedish back to at least moderate level. If it even ever was moderate.

If I took classes it would probably be easier but all I have right now is the internet and a short attention span.

                                                                          aie. i decided that, too, and early. i have dual resumes, and i did/do lots on the side for charity or curiosity. i don't have a plan like you tho, and i certainly want no more of schooling.

                                                                          when i was a tot, i thought i'd study loads of science, but i learn more online than i ever did in class. besides, real eggheads make yolk drip out my ears. sure, the internet tells relative truths, but i don't read the racy shite. i read stuff like the origin of words and how lactic acid breaks down into energy and what-not. (some of my runner friends still see it as the enemy… oi, there's far newer news than those dead frog guess-periments of yore.)

                                                                          when i was a tot, i had this checklist of what i wanted to fix, but other people got to some of those first. yay for us all. fame, infamy, whatever. it's not like there's nothing left for me to do.

                                                                          that's all i got...

                                                                          as hes about ready to cut it up she said wait a minute honey im gonna add it up

                                                                                    Oooh, playing the bassoon!

                                                                                    But unfortunately I don't have the talent for that. Instead I'm aiming towards teaching music.

                                                                                    Dang it, did I really say that?

                                                                                    Not cool. I think completely differently these days. I think, no know, that I could be so much better I just never have worked hard enough. I have always underestimated the amount of work it would take to bring me up to the level of the rest.

                                                                                    Couple that together with the fact that I'm lazy and get too easily frustrated there's a reason I have gone nowhere. I intend to change that and am trying right now.

                                                                                    However I'm still aiming towards teaching music. Just this time it's not because I don't believe I could go for Music Performance, it's because I think I'm better fit as a teacher. I wasn't fit to be a teacher when I was saying stuff like I was in that post, though.

                                                                                      My original plans had been to attend Berklee and I was accepted after audition, but I decided to not go because I felt it was a pointless venture, since I didn't need musical education (I am an autistic music madhouse) and it would've been a worthless degree. I wasn't going to be a teacher and it was un-needed for any kind of musical pursuit to get a degree to begin with.

                                                                                      Music is my passion.

                                                                                      And not what I'm getting a degree in, nor related to the career path I'm going on, which is basically somewhere between bilingual-skills-lead-me-to-a-niche-job and "imma businessperson". Making money is great. I would like to make money. I'm gonna work my ass off in college and work my ass off with the career I pursue.

                                                                                      Having money means I have physical freedom to pursue my musical interests and if I ever feel the need to, I can pursue them more so than my passionate interest/hobby.

                                                                                      It's a life-path I'm pretty satisfied with.

My mother is a music teacher, my brother a succesful jazz trumpet player and I've been playing instruments since I was 6. The only problem is that I don't want to study anything music related because I only like the practical stuff and the freedom of playing what I want whenever I want.

                                                                                            Being in a band and touring around the world would be my dream.
