      Cause of Tinnitus:
      Bars/nightclubs/MRI
      1)Spanish
      2) Italian —it is very easy to rhyme accidentally with Italian and I think that’s why it sounds so pretty

      3) I really want to learn Japanese or Arabic. Not that I would ever use it. I wanted to learn Chinese but i think that would be difficult now with having to distinguish between their four tones.

      English is my second language and I think it's beautiful, I read a lot of old novels (Pride & Prejudice, Sense and Sensibilities, House of Mirth etc) ...the language, prose, and the intimate ways of stringing poetic words together are so beautiful and melodic. English taught me how to fall in love and taught me about romance, about austerity, beauty and the wonders of life. I love my native language too, but nothing beats Robert Frost poems by the campfire <3

      I can think, speak, write, and read Spanish and English fluently.

      My favorite:
      Spanish ~ Absolutely a beautiful language when spoken correctly without a slang or ghetto accent.
      So romantic, with a sensual and passionate sound when spoken clearly and softly not like some people that speak it so fast and almost like screaming at you. They kill it! Ugh..

      Studied Portuguese but kept mixing it up with the Spanish so I gave up.... lol.

      Cause of Tinnitus:
      Noise trauma, hearing loss
      I speak Thai, Laotian, and Spanish. I used to speak Chinese, intermediate level, but post tinnitus, PTSD, my Chinese and Spanish have gotten pretty bad and I mix with other languages. Never studied, learned on the street. My brother is fluent in Dutch, French and Spanish. And of course English. He has no brain damage and subsequently his mental faculties are superb, he has also never learned the lingo or language we used in the military and subsequent institutions where undesirable people deemed a menace to society or themselves are kept.

      I hear this a lot from native Russian speakers, but I don't buy it at all. Many languages are just as rich if not richer.

      Of course, it depends how you define richness.

      Thai, and it's the prettiest writing I've ever seen.

      Burmese and Korean are also some of the best sounding to me.

      I do like the sound of French.

      From what I understood many Russian ethnics in East Estonia wished to become part of Russia.

      I prefer not to discuss politics. It never led to anything good.

      French, my native language, is my favourite, I find it is the most refined of all.

      Some other Romance languages are quite pleasant to my ears, such as Italian and Romanian.

      I also really like English, especially spoken with a British accent, that I find very classy.

      I like Russian, which I started to learn when I was living in Moscow, but I find it is generally spoken in an aggressive manner. That makes it sound a bit… barbaric.

      I really like how Japanese sounds and looks like, but I don't understand a word of it (well, only the famous words and phrases).
