Being new here, it's really refreshing to see people talking about the things I've felt for quite a long time but haven't found others to dialogue with. This is a point I bring up frequently to people who were educated by their own societies to believe certain languages outrank the others. Appreciation is one thing, direct comparison is another. I'm thankful to have an extremely international and diverse personal friend group where we can discuss these topics and not have our societal conditioning programs activated. Fantastic examples here.

Tanya I tell my wife all the time that Spanish is such a great sounding language. My favorite language, though, is definitely Italian. Italian sounds so damn good. It's also cool that now that I know a little Spanish, Italian sometimes makes sense when I listen to it. I vote Italian as the richest language. Final answer. 😆
