Which language would you like to master overnight?

[Hotteok]

So an angel asks you in your dream that he will make you a master of one foreign language overnight. 

Which language would you choose and why?

 

I'd choose the Biblical Hebrew, because I want to read the words coming from God in Hebrew. 

If he can't make me a master of Hebrew, then maybe French because it sounds so .. French.

Would the angel do that for your benefit or so you could help others?

 

I wouldn't care what language I was given, just like Pentecost,  I would accept any assignment I would be given. 

[Bek]

I would ask him to make me a super master of the pure language.  

[bystander]

Spanish would be the most useful in my territory.

[ChocoBro]

Definitely Arabic.

[Friends just call me Ross]

Brother Nurzat already chose the Pure language, so I'm going with Spanish.  

Creo que el español es el idioma de sonido más hermoso en este sistema de cosas.

I believe Spanish is the most beautiful sounding language in this system of things.

Why definitely Arabic?  

[Dustparticle]

Paleo-Hebrew , that what Moses and before him knew and almost 500 years afterwards too.

Because for one there is a great need in the service field left to handle here and hardly anybody who can speak Arabic or is willing to learn it. Well, with a complete new alphabet as well as reading and writing from right to left, after all.

 

And  as a positive little side-effect, I would also expect it to open some interesting job opportunities.

Um, the English language!

Biblical Hebrew for me too. But I am reminded of this:

Chinese, because it's so difficult that after three years I still barely know anything. And wherever you go there are Chinese people to talk to.

For those in the US, I agree you should ask for English. Maybe then you can learn to spell words such as 😝 colour. 🤐

We have a sister who lives in Germany for a 3 year or so stint in the Arabic language group. Her father is an elder and lives in our building. He speaks English with a Canadjan accent, eh!

I recently took a form  for those interested in attending a language class for Arabic, as

there is a need in our area to preach the good news in Arabic.  We had a return visit on

someone that is Arabic - I express to him about learning Arabic, and he said which one

and told me I could do it!  Good return - we have to turn him over to a brother.   

[Katty]

Do programming languages count?

[A fellow servant]

Hebrew and Spanish

[Dages]

Arabic too. That's a huge field in France
