Why aren’t you learning the second or third most spoken language, the language of a neighboring country or an ancestral language, in your country
>learning languages in 2k26>when even 70-year-old taxi drivers in bumfuck nowhere in Central Asia can speak EnglishLolLmao even
>>219852664I kinda wish I know Arabic but I'm too lazyI barely know English nigga
I'm lazy And don't really know where to start
>>219852664Why would I learn a language
>>219852683The purpose is to immerse yourself in another country/culture And most ESLs speak broken English btw
>>219852664I dont want and i dont need to
>>219852762Take the critical period blackpill, YankYou can't immerse yourself fully in another country/culture unless you spoke their language parallel to your native language since birth
>>219852664Youve made this post before. Most of the people ITT thread are philistines. Me, I definitely have an admiration of foreign cultures and I have interest in foreign languages but the opportunity cost is too high, at this stage of my life at least. I never learned math properly. I dont have technical skills. I want to develop a career and wealth before revisiting languages maybe.
Its just hard. If you study languages, you will have to give up either philosophy and history or technical skills. You cant have wealth, a career, a great deal of knowledge about philosophy and history and on top of that be fluent in several languages. Something has to give.
i trynot my best but i do try>>219852802not reallyt. knower
>>219852721>>219852802>>219852767Disgusting philistines.
>>219853163Eres el Colombiano francofilo que habla frances?
>>219852664>second or third most spoken language,swedish/english I already know both>the language of a neighboring countryalready know swedish(and norwegian automatically)knowing russian might be useful in the future once the current events are but a memory, but I don't want to engage with their culture. I can read estonian, here there is room to learn but I am lazy.>or an ancestral language,Finnish is my ancestral language for at least 2000 years.
>>219852664Enough with mother tong and the English language only, probably.
>>219852664I know a little bit of Arabic. Like yallah...
>>219852664I passed the b2 embassy exam for german also i wish i could unlearn and forget English.
>>219853213I know a little bit of Hebrew , like benzona, Kalev , Melekh , shalom
>HungarianOnly spoken by Hungarians so it's useless>AlbanianOnly spoken by Albanians so it's useless>BulgarianOnly spoken by Bulgarians so it's useless>RomanianOnly spoken by Romanians so it's useless>MacedonianOnly spoken by Macedonians so it's uselessBy being a Serbtard I am automatically capable of communicating with Crorats, Montenegroes and Bosnians so there is nothing to learn there either. There's no reason for me to learn a neighbouring country's language. None of them are particularly rich or prosperous or culturally relevant in the world. If someone wants to learn a language it should be one that has a huge number of speakers and potentially gives you good job prospects along with being used by cultures you wouldn't mind living in
>>219852664English is all you need. When born into monolingualism, you only learn a language if you plan to move there or to satisfy your own curiosity. There is no other reason to learn any language.
>>219852664I come from 4 separate lines of monolingual anglos who colonized different parts of the worlds and never learned any fucking languagesim not going to corrupt my tongue by speaking a shit-fucking JF language
>>219852664>Why aren’t you learning the second or third most spoken languageI’ve never liked Spanish and I have no interest in French.>or an ancestral languageI do this.
