Play any instrument or speak any language, which do you choose?
Question submitted by cruftbox.vox.com.
Tough call for me. I’ve always always wanted to play the electric guitar much better than I do. But, to be able to speak any language? In my line of work that’d be a real plus. Travel would be a snap.
So — speak any language wins out for me. If I were limited to one language, I guess I’d make it French. But it’d be a real plus if I could speak any language! Many Arab scholars publish in French, and I am interested in Continental philosophy, so French just makes sense.
