What's your favorite language? Do have one that you like to hear or speak the most?
My personal favorite is Portuguese there is something so sexy about this language I can't figure it out.
For me it's Italian. It's a very melodic ot musical language. I don't understand it, but I love hearing it.

My favorite language is Esperanto. It is very flexible, you can make new words as needed. When spoken it sounds quite melodious - in general, except for some people who speak it with heavy accents of some not-so-melodious language.
MY inferiority complex isn't as good as YOURS
For me it's French.I hate to be cliche but the way the words sound when they roll of the tongue is hypnotic to me.I speak very little French,wish I knew more but I don't have time to sit down and learn :-(.
Good post!
Italian!!!
I have learned more than 55 languages, the last one is Chinese Mandarin.
I have been working as a translator for more than ten years and have taught seven languages (living and dead, some of them killed by my own hands.)
If you ask me which one I like most, I would agree with anyone who says the language he likes is the most beautiful. Look at a baby, you will see that any baby is just amazing, if you love babies "a priori", you discover the rich flavor of human nature not only in their diapers, but with their gestures, their body language, the sounds they utter and the smiles they give you. And when they cry, if you have the right ear, you can understand, whether you are their father or their mother, if they are angry, hungry, tired or sick, it's how we listen that makes the language beautiful. Ask good parents to disabled children, they see the beauty within! Every language has beautiful things, sounds, structures, expressions, declensions etc. They are here to be learned and loved
What I love most about Hebrew is its grace and flexibility. A biblical language, still holding on to many biblical expressions and idioms, it nonetheless has adapted to the modern world by coining new words (based on the roots of old words) and by importing from other languages - mostly English. Show me a language that has these gems:
toaster - מצנם
yellow marker/highlighter - מדגש
pancake - חביתית
talkback - תגובית
hard disk - כונן קשיח
plastic sleeve for papers - שמרדף
This is not to say that all Hebrew speakers use these newly-coined terms (and today you could probably be understood in Israel if you use the English terms), but it's still quite beautiful that new words are constantly being formed and discussed.
