I’m learning Polish because all the builders I work with are polish and can’t understand a word I’m saying and only know how to say whiskey and problem

AND PROBLEM IS THE SAME IN ENGLISH AS IT IS IN POLISH HOW CAN YOU LIVE IN A COUNTRY AND UNDERSTAND NONE OF ITS LANGUAGE

learned french in high school so i would fit the requirements for a college that i planned on attending

im not fluent, but learning french has helped expand my world view :^) and it made my trip to paris a few years ago a lot easier

i kind of plan on learning something like arabic or chinese, since i quite liked learning french
if anyone knows arabic/chinese, or is learning it, is there a good case for learning it, apart from the enjoyment you get from knowing cool new stuff?

i mean you don't know when u might get kidnapped by arabs, but other than that i think arabic is p hard to learn to be much of a bother since nobody speaks the 'proper' and written arabic, everyone uses slang and things that make no fucking sense

for us 'sitting' can mean 'ing' when placed before a verb, and whoever comes from another city would be confused too.

Learning Korean, easiest of the oriental languages, a bit of a korea-boo, and it's a stepping stone into Mandarin and as such a stepping stone into Japanese. Also ez alphabet.

Duolingo is what made me start learning Japanese, its pretty epic for anyone who wants to learn a language so I recommend it.

i've heard so aswell
how is it going so far?
aren't there a lot of sounds that are pretty alien to people used to germanic languages?

I’m trying to learn some french in high school now, since I already Know and are fluent in Italian, Spanish, and english but universities need me to have 2 years of the same language done. So french it is, also cause everyone is in god damn montreal (looking at you Ubisoft)

Also would want to learn either Japanese (For anime OwO) or Russian so I can understand when hacker hacks me, when I’m at Uni.
