South is more influenced by Austronesian and local languages like Cham. It's closer to what Vietnamese originally sounded like

North is strongly influenced by Chinese and sinosphere pronunciation

What is the point of speaking a language if you got nobody to speak too? My own native language usage is already limited to my thoughts...

>>215491929
You don't really need to learn to output. I know some languages purely to read and listen to content. I could not care about ever going to that country or interacting with their people.
>>
>>215491501
>No, but I would really like to visit my TL country. It would be great to do it with somebody / meet new people in my TL.
If you're afraid that something gives an ick, turn it into a dream on some kind of bucket list. People love that shit. At worst, you will come to be a quirky person, but not a weirdo
Also, stop blackpilling, who tf cares what some bunch of losers thinks about you if you really like your hobby

Sometimes, in university, I see a Chinese gall or lad. I try to speak anything but I do not. I feel inadequate. My Chinese is not even HSK4 yet. Perhaps I should just learn to read as only skill... I have this hole in my heart and nobody to fill it. I am a fool to think I can fill with with memorized phrases spoken to foreigners...

You can post, but its just the manner in which you use words comes across very poof like.

I'm still stuck between French or Spanish.
French would enable me to acquire Francophile African gf while Spanish would enable a potential Latina.
So in that regard Spanish would probably win, however when it comes to social esteem among Germans French is probably seen as a bit more sophisticated and romantic.
Also French literature is just better and there's more content like video games in French dub than Spanish.
Also France is more economically relevant in Europe and it's closer to Germany.
But Spanish speaking countries are probably preferable for holiday language use.
I guess I'll just learn both of them at the same time.
>>
>>215491501
this is why I will hide all my languages except for French until I actually need them
>>
>>215491501
just say you're planning to in the future if you're trying to get a girl
>>
You should not work too hard on pronunciation since losing your accent is purely negative in social interactions. As long as you're understandable it's good enough

if i want to name a fancy restaurant Gallery of Food but in Italian, would it be Galleria di Cibo or Galleria del Cibo?

Get some confidence
When I was hsk3-4 I was talking to every Chinese girl I saw, I actually set my dating apps to Chinese only just to practice with people in person, I used tandem as well but pretty useless.
I only got one fuck out of it but it made my 口语 so much better.

Sadly I have a white girlfriend already! Some days I dream of having a Chinese girlfriend and we can go on little dates where she teaches me Mandarin vocab and I her Dutch.
