Adash 193 October 20, 2014 Share October 20, 2014 I would choose instruments because I don't talk to people anyways. Also, I don't want to understand if someone would insult me in another language. Sig made by Aeron Quillson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonicwing 57 October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 Language. I'm not particularly musically enclined, if I learned to play any instrument I'd only ever be able to play music someone else has written, music that I can already listen to whenever I want. With language I could read any book without having to wait for a translation (I'm looking at you Witcher novels) also, I enjoy writing and using language elaborately to confuse people or just in general. Plus, it would remove all language barriers, no worries about only being able to hang out with people who can speak your language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsychedelicPony 440 October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 I choose language because a lot of avenues could open up for you, and also you can communicate with literal any person in the world at any given time.

CuriousPony 157 December 18, 2014 Share December 18, 2014 As much as I would LOVE to be able to master every instrument, I have to go with speaking every language. Being able to communicate with everyone would be amazing, and very helpful. Confusing people by speaking languages they don't understand would also be entertaining. 1 Me in a nutshell.

Dsanders 5,747 December 18, 2014 Share December 18, 2014 I would much rather go with on omnilingualism. It would be amazing to able to communicate with any soul on the planet. I would be able to understand all the 5,000 or so languages out there along with numerous nonverbal forms or communication. Hell if music and math are considered languages, then I would be an expert in those areas. I would be also be able to understand computer languages, sign languages, and even body language! The possibilities are endless! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Chaos~ 3,967 December 21, 2014 Share December 21, 2014 I'd say languages. Then I could easily travel to places and have no problem speaking to people, would be handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatOneComrade 1,091 December 21, 2014 Share December 21, 2014 Instruments are great and all, but it's not a skill that I expect I'll need. On the other hand, being fluent in every language would land me some darn good jobs, I'd bet. And when the aliens come, I'd be able to negotiate with them 1 href="/monthly_02_2014/post-8308-0-69609200-1393191794.png"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honk friend 1,978 December 21, 2014 Share December 21, 2014 I've always had a thing for learning new languages. In fact, there are several I want to learn. To list them off, I'd like to learn German, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, Norwegian, Korean, Arabic, Italian, Latin, and Finnish. Of course, a lot of time and effort goes in to learning new languages, especially the easternmost languages like Russian, Arabic, and Chinese. I may, in the long run, not have enough time on my hands to learn all these languages and not even the mental capacity to memorize them all. I mean, I can imagine having to practice and exercise these languages on a regular basis so I don't lose them would be a pain, but to be able to speak any and every language I want right then and there without years of grueling study and practice? I'd take that offer up on the spot over being able to play every instrument. Sure, I'd like to learn how to play the guitar or maybe the piano, and I could surely impress many people with such a skill, but that's like two instruments I actually want to learn how to play, whereas taking option #1 would allow me to speak all 11 of the languages I've mentioned and more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SasQ 1,376 December 21, 2014 Share December 21, 2014 (edited) Languages, of course. It would allow me to understand all those old books written in Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese and who knows what else, without the need of relying on translators who might (deliberately or not) mis-translate something. Knowing every language there is, would open the doors for unlimited knowledge. And this is way more useful than playing every instrument. Also, it is much easier to learn to play a new instrument than to learn a whole new language. I can learn to play instruments myself, but learning all possible languages is a tremendous task, so it would be great to have this knowledge magically implemented into my brain Edited December 21, 2014 by SasQ My best posts list Recent post: Language Exchange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sommar 1,289 December 22, 2014 Share December 22, 2014 (edited) I would prefer to master all the languages. Think about it: you can talk to everyone in the entire world with ease instead of having a translator with you all the time. Being bilingual can get you into many different kinds of jobs in Europe and Asia too. Knowing how to play all the instruments is cool, but I think knowing all the languages is cooler. Hopefully I will get a Rosetta Stone in the near future so I can improve on my Spanish. I also want to learn Swedish, being part Swedish and all. From what I've heard Swedish is easy to learn for English speakers. Edited December 22, 2014 by ThatAwkwardBookworm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tameless 979 December 22, 2014 Share December 22, 2014 Very interesting question. I would love to learn every instrument. Gosh that would be something..

Simcity11100 772 December 22, 2014 Share December 22, 2014 Every instrument, music is something that words could never describe, it brings the imagination out. Close your eyes, listen to music and behold another world to belong in. This world is one that can only be described by the mind and spirit, one can not describe such magnificence is one place. This world that the melody brings could only be seen by you and for you. That is one world that the imagination mixed with the right music could bring. The beat, the beat is something that can take you on adventures that is far from our reaches, it is an adventure only described as epic and can only be seen as so. The vocals, only they could make you feel more relaxed and comfortable in tough times. The bass, the bass is something that can only make you see the depth of your imagination. Finally the ambient, the ambient sounds make the environment come together as one making your imagination complete. This is the music I would want to make.

catnet 9,356 February 22, 2015 Share February 22, 2015 I barely even speak my own language that often so I guess mastering every instrument would be more worthwhile, in the end. Even if I didn't end up sharing it with anyone (out of shyness), it'd be nice to just mess around and see what music I can create, what feelings I can express when words cannot suffice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastel 7,630 February 22, 2015 Share February 22, 2015 (edited) Mastering every instrument. I'd love to create music with the instruments I like, and it just seems more useful than speaking every language. (edit: oh wait, no) Depends on the scope of the languages. Does it include programming language? If so, I would totally pick language Actually I'd pick the languages for the same reason.

Haruhi-chan 486 February 22, 2015 Share February 22, 2015 Speak every language. Can you imagine that? I mean, I'd love to know what some of my artists/bands are saying when they speak their native languages. Most of the the music I like is Japanese as well, so I'd be able to understand the songs they sing too. x Haruhi Suzumiya x goddess of the world twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC_Maud_Pie 6,431 February 22, 2015 Share February 22, 2015 Tough choice but I'll go with learning all languages because it'll help me communicate with everyone around the world. Also, there's some musical instruments I'm not interested in learning how to play. All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention. I believe that someone should become a person like other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon C 229 February 22, 2015 Share February 22, 2015 Languages. Imagine the possibilities for making new friends, relationships, jobs etc. You might know how to play every instrument but if you don't have a musical ear you won't produce anything very decent.

SCS 7,537 March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 I would rather master every instrument. I could put together some sweet one-person album by recording different parts separately and make it exactly what I want it to be, or I could join any kind of band or music group I wanted.

Princess Periwinkle 3,775 April 16, 2015 Share April 16, 2015 I would do languages. I think erasing the language barrier should be an objective of humanity in general. Hell, if nothing else I could get a job as a translator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone~ 614 May 5, 2015 Share May 5, 2015 I would rather speak every language. There are only a few instruments I'd like to be able to play, while there are a bunch of languages I'd like to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Moon 6,341 May 5, 2015 Share May 5, 2015 Languages would be more practical, but mastering every instrument is much more appealing to me.
