Contest #240 of @Ladiesofhive community questions for this week are :
1οΈβ£ How many languages can you speak? And what language would you want to learn more than anything? πππ / ππ ~2οΈβ£ If you could invite any five people, living or dead, to a dinner party, who would they be?
I have always been in fascination of people who are multilingual, this has been one area for me where I could never pick up different languages. I do know a few languages but they are all local, like Gujarati, Hindi and Marathi, these are all the state languages where I live and apart from that of course English. But when it comes to international languages then I do not know any of them. When I shifted to Muscat, I tried learning Arabic but I could not. Honestly I did not even put any effort and now I do not find a need.
English is a universal language and it has worked well so far everywhere I have travelled, so I have not really felt a dire need of learning a new language and also I do not have any passion for it. The local languages were taught in school so that's how I picked them up. But yes, I do fascinate people who can speak various languages, it's an art.
Me inviting 5 people for a dinner party, it has to be my family. There are so many important people in my life that it is difficult to just pick 5 of them. If it has to be family, then it will be my Mom, Dad who is no more, my sister, brother in law and nephew. I would like to add many more, but then if only 5 then these are the priority. If I have to select randomly then it will be my very close circle of friends.

These days I prefer to have dinner parties with small circles, my first preference is one on one or maximum 3 to 4, because then that's where we can communicate with each other on one on one basis, else in a bigger group there are no real conversations happening. Most of the time in a bigger group we end up debating on social affairs topics.
