As someone who has played multiple musical instruments, but can’t speak a single language well, I’m gonna go with speak every language fluently. Does this include dead languages? Cause that would be awesome 😎

Which dead languages?

I think it would be cool to know Akkadian or Sumerian.

Koine Greek would be great for reading the NT Scriptures; for the OT, a good knowledge of ancient Hebrew pronunciation (spelling is the same as modern Hebrew) would be nice, but not really necessary; the same goes for ancient Aramaic. Latin would also be great because all or nearly all writings of the Early Church Fathers were written in Latin or the aforementioned Koine Greek.

my thoughts exactly

My choice as well. Any language dead or alive!

ok, but how proficient are we talking with the musical instruments?

You would need to be able to play with reasonable confidence, but the real question is, is it musical instruments or language you would prefer.
2 ups, 2y
definitely language, ancient greek and hebrew would be very useful, and obviously modern languages if I ever went to another country
I already play piano at a higher level than reasonable confidence, and I'm decent with trumpet. I sucked at spanish class though.

Musical instruments would be my choice.

Languages, it has real world uses
For the majority of people the joy that comes from playing an instrument comes from working for it

Yes, languages would be of greater benefit.
2 ups, 2y
languages- I want to be able to chant Latin phrases at my teachers, or on a less ironic note effectively communicate with whoever I meet.

Do you already have a good grasp of languages. Which musical instrument would you prefer?
2 ups, 2y
I know a bit of Spanish and a bit of Hawaiian. And I would prefer either violin or piano

Languages. I'd be happy to play just ONE instrument well.
2 ups, 2y
Languages yes. I play clarinet, flute and accordion.

Linguistics ftw

It depends. How well do I play the instruments ? If I just play decently, well it is not as much overpowered as speaking fluently every language. However, prodigy level is far more useful than speaking other languages. You could even make a living out of it if you become an artist !
Nice post!
(I play piano well and as a French learnt English, as well as German)
