Good question.
Languages I could more easily learn an instrument than another language personally. Speaking of does anyone know a good good way to learn a new language? Like those Rosetta stones do they work? Or is there something better now! --- Water+Fall=Radiation. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Hmm, seeing as I'm already fluent in English and Spanish, having these languages at my disposal would be incredible during my travels:
- Japanese - Arabic - Russian - Cantonese - Portuguese - German - Navajo - Afroasiatic or, OR Since I'm already a pretty good drummer, can shred it at parties playing these bad boys - Guitar - Piano - Sax - Harmonica - Violin - Harp --- S / K / Y / N / E Twitch/YouTube/GT: Adzeta ...

Languages no question. Gonna just assume the 8 include new languages, so I'll exclude my native English and German that I'm somewhat intermediate with in learning and say:
Danish Arabic Italian French Mandarin Spanish Swahili Russian or Japanese --- https://imgur.com/MS5SvzN Take better care of your teeth and f***, a lot more. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Language. I can't think of 6 instruments that I care enough about to want to master.
I'd go with Russian Arabic Mandarin Hindi Portuguese German Spanish Latin --- Forget your lust for the rich man's gold All that you need is in your soul ... Copied to Clipboard!

8 is a lot of languages.
I'm already fluent in french, so if I took: spanish japanese mandarin arabic italian russian german gaelic I'd be pretty well set for traveling. on the other hand, I'm also a professional musician -- I play trumpet, ukulele, and sing at a professional level piano, bass, and drums would be good additions and I'd be able to get way more gigs. after that I'd probably just take french horn, trombone, and tuba to further my brass playing and get more brass-doubling gigs. honestly I think having the languages would be a bigger asset. piano is the only other instrument that I'm really wanting to learn better right now. --- peanut butter and dick ...

Good question.@Mistere_Man Honestly Rosetta Stone is shit, or at least not worth paying any money for. There are plenty of free apps that serve the same purpose. Duolingo, while only one tool in a learners arsenal, is great for starters and beginning to grasp the basics of a language. Something like Babble or Memrise is probably interchangeable. A spaced repetition (ie flashcards) app like Anki is invaluable. If you can make your own deck thats ideal, but also far more time consuming. Buy some basic grammar/verb books and practice by hand. Assimil is EXCELLENT if you can find it in your starting to target language. Engage with the language as often and as deeply as possible. Listen to music in it, read childrens stories in it. Basically, read as much as often and as early as possible; theres no better alternative. Watch Youtube videos about it, movies, tv. Use English subs at first, eventually switch to your targets subs when comfortable enough. What language(s) did you have in mind? --- https://imgur.com/MS5SvzN Take better care of your teeth and f***, a lot more. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Thank you very much! I will look into those ideas. Oops I forgot to list the languages. I was thinking Spanish, French, or Chinese personally. Of those I think I would get the most use out of Spanish.

Language. I love music and learned to play by ear, but the fact is, I just don't have it in me to make up my own songs. And playing the songs I like would be better if more than one person/instrument is involved.

Just remember that ultimately language acquisition for adults who arent immersed and learning out of sheer necessity ultimately boils down to motivation. Youll learn quicker and more efficiently (and enjoy it more) when its a language you enjoy, regardless of utility --- https://imgur.com/MS5SvzN Take better care of your teeth and f***, a lot more. ...

For me the languages would be more far more valuable.
Instruments are pretty easy to learn for me, and I would have little to gain from instant expert skill in any single one. --- The Legend is True! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Instrument for sure. There are tools one can use to bridge language gaps, but the ability to play music is irreplaceable.
