What are the most relevant languages to learn after English considering: • Access to larger consumer market • Volume of cultural production • International relevance • Lower English proficiency from their speakers?
>>221652871Spanish
>>221652909>>221652938Spanish fails in the last point. I can already access your markets, translated media, interact internationally (like I'm doing right now) with just English
>>221652871french
>>221652871Chineseno reason to learn russian, spanish, portugese, arabic, or frenchthose are languages for the poors
>>221652970But the same goes to an even greater extent for Mandarin and Hindu based on your infographic here, which based on your other infographic are the only ones with a greater power. So it's Spanish still.
>>221652871Le français si tu aimes bien les bandes dessinées. Tu parles déjà une langue romane donc ça devrait plus facile à apprendre. Otherwise, I dunno. Mandarin maybe. It’s the Chinese future, after all
>>221652871Why are there no native Arabic speakers
>>221654276Modern standard Arabic is somewhat different from Arabic that is actually spoken in any of those countries. Imagine if someone created a modernized version of latin to unite the romance languages under a single written language
>>221653765Mandarin is good for business. Spanish is only an option if you plan to become a sexpat.
>>221654852these retards who glaze china so much have NO IDEA how much the chinese are scammy. a chinese guy i'd known for years scammed me out of a mere thousand dollars in a deal and then disappeared. seriously i think even hispanics and indians are more trusthorthy
>>221654915It's been like that for a while, actually. They're a nation with a lot of problems and taking them too seriously is a big mistake.
None of this matters. Learn a language if>you need it for workor>you have a personal interest in the culture
>>221654915>indians are more trustworthyhow? we are an extremely low trust society
desu whatever you're interested in. I've studied mandarin and liked it, but east asians are too different than whites. Might try to learn portuguese again since all the brasil hornyposting is reminding me of how much I crave gay sex with brasilian men. Spanish too but it's too retarded and too many syllables.
>>221654962i've met decently trustworthy indians in crypto communities and elsewhere like sites like fiverr. but the chinese are really something else
>>221652871Russian> Best for security> Great music and literatures> Top-tier beautiful women> To avoid spies and scammers> Large volumes of speakers> Kazak people are the kindest and best
>>221655030Plus the Puto regime is about to collapse and the country is likely to briefly spiral out of control, like in the early 90s. That means opportunity.
>>221654934Townsend was a total shill for the Japanese empire. Like there's problems no doubt (like everywhere else) but this is like using race war agitation propaganda from 1910s USA as evidence as to why you shouldn't sell products to African customers in 2026.
>>221655092I'm also considering this languageAnd you guys have beautiful women too
>>221653765What about Arabic?
>>221652970OP, are you retarded? Do you know that this map doesn't actually measure English proficiency of certain populations but just the English proficiency of people paying for this expensive private language school. It isn't representative at all.
>>221658204No idea what you're talking about. This map is just one of the first results if I google english proficiency by country. If you have a better map, please post it
>>221652970How isn't mexico dark blue? LMAO
>>221658524>If you have a better map, please post itHere
>>221652871Mandarin>>221652909>>221652938incorrect
>>221658709YOU WILL LEARN THE LANGUAGE OF YOUR ANCESTORS CONQUERORS AND YOU'LL LIKE IT
>>221658742não.
>>221658759YOU'LL NEVER BE BRAZILIAN, JOSÉ MIGUEL PANCHO LÓPEZ OBREGÓN
>>221652871>Access to larger consumer marketIt doesn't matter how large a market is, what matter is how wealthy it is. So the languages are German and French.
>>221652909>>221652938Actually, the richest Spanish-speaking country is the US so we need to ask mutts whether it's really any useful.
>>221658977When I said larger I meant either wealthy or so full of people it could compensate for their poverty.German and French are made redundant by their knowledge of English, specially German
>>221659019>so full of people it could compensate for their povertyIt doesn't work like that.>their knowledge of EnglishYou're in a wake for a very big dissapointment macaco.
>>221658977The chicanos and cubans in the US are more wealthy than your average frog or germ
>>2216528711. English2. Chinese3. Russian4. Spanish5. PortugueseEverything else is useless because the people are either bilingual (French, German, Dutch, etc.) or they're monolingual but too small/irrelevant (Japanese, Korean, Thai, etc.).
>>221652871None. Google translate has gotten very good. Real time in ear translation ala Star Trek is already starting to come into the market.
>>221659649Japan has a larger consumer market than Brazil*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_consumer_markets* Portuguese is basically just Brazil + Portugal (size of a Brazilian city) and Angola (too poor)
>>221652871MandarinSpanishFrenchPortugueseRussianJapaneseGermanThen there's Arabic and Hindi but I doubt the average /int/oid will be interested in learning them, not to mention most Hindi speakers are ""bilingual"" anyway
Bump
>>221652871>Consumer marketChinese by far.>Cultural productionJapanese, French, or Russian>International relevanceSpanish or Arabic>Lower English proficiency Chinese
Mandarin, Arabic, Spanish, and French
So what is the verdict?Mandarin and Spanish?
>>221652871>standard arabickwab
>>221654396>Imagine if someone created a modernized version of latin to unite the romance languages under a single written languageThey did that it's called Esperanto
polish
>Chinese>Dutch>German>Frenchthats all you need
>>221658155The main issue with arabic is that it isn't persian or that it isn't relevant in turkey
