    Default Learning foreign languages

    Whereas in a few Northern European Nations most people strive for learning several languages, in some countries, such as Spain,Italy or Great Britain only a few "geeks" do it. What is the type of these geeks?

    IMO, Alpha quadra members are much more interested in foreign languages than other quadras...

    I think it's a culture/interest thing. I love languages and I'm a Delta, currently learning Japanese. I was thinking of trying for some sort of Languages degree, but ended up going another manner. I think the more interested in international travel someone is, or, the more multicultural their surroundings are, the more likely they are to learn different languages, as there will eventually be some practical use for it.

    I don't think it's type related.

    But, on a random aside, all the INTps I know are multilingual by choice.
    Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
