Started Spanish classes today !
I am really enjoying them. I have an excellent teacher, Belen - She is from Ecuador. I was amazed by how similar Spanish is to French. My two years of French are proving to be useful ...
I have always been fascinated by similarities in languages - To me that was an excellent indicator as to the influence different civilizations had on each other. English words in regional Indian languages, Indian words in English, similarities between French and Spanish and so on ...
One day, when I was in California, working on a project, I went to a Korean BBQ place with my boss (who is from Iran) - And he told me something amazing - He told me that Korean and Farsi have a lot of similarities - How the hell did that happen ? I have tried researching that, but other than the possibility of some Korean/Chinese traveller going to Iran a long time back, like Fa Hein did in India, I cant think of anything else !
