English privilege

I get that spanish opens a lot of countries but they're mostly all south american countries though, spain is the only good one

Well in a few years it'll open the USA too.

Being able to speak Dutch makes English 35% easier and German 60% easier. And pronouncing Spanish and Italian fairly easy.

Es el tercer lenguaje más hablado en el mundo, y por esa razón es un lenguaje que crea muchas posibilidades en varios países.

>86%

Bullshit. It's 98%.

Croats and Sebs have bonus points in Dutch pronunciation. On Jow Forums they seem to be ae to pronounce it fluently without trying. On the text alone.

*serbs
*able
In Croatia I also met someone who was fluent in Dutch without an accent. Which is impossible for almost all foreigners.

>France
>39%

I always had trouble with that
Thank you for the correction

it‘s easy for them because the r is rolled like in serbo-croatian

based
also if you know spanish you can eassily learn portuguese, and viceversa
just avoid learning them at once, since you can become confussed

Less or more?

Nah m8, we are just merchants,
Speaking the lingo of people we scam is quite handy (while we secretly communicate between ourselfs in our language no one else speaks)

Less, waayyyy less

>Try learning another language
>all the smug foreigners just cackle derisively and urge you to just speak English
>said foreigners complain about you not speakin any other languages

Yeah you're all cunts.

i feel bad for anglos. they only speak a single language -- you can see how their jealousy of others is translated into this sort of 'distrust' of people who speak several.

i speak three languages and it's been enormously rewarding.

Sjeez, about everyone here is able to speak English,
Even the lower classes can atleast hold a basic English converstation.

>spend 10 years learning englissh
>Liam comes at you with the 4 spanish phrases he knows from duolingo
>gets mad when i ask him to switch to english
maybe try actually being good at the language, most people get flattered when you learn their language (except english speakers)
but if its obvious first-year textbook phrases with shitty pronunciation it isnt that cool

It says able, not willing

>i speak three languages and it's been enormously rewarding.
yes
I maintain that learning another language (really, no matter what as long as it's not extremely similar to your own) is always useful because it's good for your brain and indeed very rewarding. I don't think it's worthless learning a "useless" language either, I think people are way too hung up on learning "useful" languages

>39%
Among young people in central Paris maybe

people who are born in a bilingual environment like the ones in Spain have an easier time distinguishing languages too, i think its kinda lucky
also people that know Catalan might have an easier time learning french/italian than the average spaniard, and people that know Galician can very easily read and learn portuguese

You have no idea how fucked up our education system is here, we're almost burger tier minus the economic jewing nowadays
They couldn't even if they really wanted to

I think english does fuck with your ability to learn more complicated grammar and some pronunciation a bit but really theres such a little carrot to learning another language. Unless you're going to be living in a country for a long time theres pretty much no direct gain to learning a language except a much smaller parallel media and internet source and abstract shit like it being good for how you think and world view.

I don't see why you're surprised. The Anglosphere is extensive and influential. The average American has practically no need of a second language, unless they plan to work abroad or travel extensively.

I, for one, have spent plenty of time in Latin America and South Asia. In countries like Colombia and even Mexico, many people can't speak any language other than Spanish. After all, why would they? People who don't have any use for another tongue won't pursue proficiency. Learning takes a lot of time and a lot of practice, especially for those who can't immerse themselves in more engaging environments.

I've been taking university-level Hindi classes for a few years and am planning to travel to Colombia for a third time in May to improve my Spanish. But if I were content to sit around in the States, I'd have no reason to do any of that. If I didn't have foreign friends, I could probably go most days without even hearing non-English languages, Mandarin and Arabic aside (because I live near a large university with lots of Saudis and Chinese).

I wonder how they get this info because no one ever asks me anything

So, are you frenchies here on Jow Forums really educated then? Doctors and engineers?

You'd have to leave your room to encounter the survey people.

>Durrrrp try beeing good without practising with people or having every single film in that language

Fuck off you lispy brown mong, there is literally no achievement in learning English when it's rammed in your face 24/7, you're not special.

t. Salty Spaniard his language isn't as big as ours.

This is so annoying because Chinese are becoming academically important and I've already spend my second-language effort with English, but anglos can learn Chinese as a second language and they're not missing out on anything.

Also:

>You have to rely on Anglo media to understand life in China
Literally just a waste of time with all the propaganda.
It's so annoying that I can't figure out what's going on there.

spaniards certainly arent as big as you

mate Mandarin is not taking over. not in our lifetimes anyway

>thinks learning chinese will help him understand what's going on in china
well here's a few starters, tienanmen square massacre never happened, mao did nothing wrong, west is evil

Autistic NEETs and Uni students with an unhealthy interest for the English speaking internet mostly, i think

>Hindu

Well that depends. If Mandarin takes over that means we lost the (financial?) war to China so we're fucked anyways.

But this is more akin to being an academic in the 60s. Each country was publishing in their own language (ie French, German, English) so unless you could afford to get the papers translated or buy them translated, you were going to be left behind.

That's exactly what I meant.
>communism is evil, plz hate China
>all chinese are literal slaves
>communism ruined China, plz don't look at their growth rates
>no they just copying us, nothing important is being done there
>china china china

I dislike china as much as the next guy but come on. It's like learning about Venezuela from fox.com or Ukraine from RT.com

Sorry I don't know anything about poo languages, I meant whatever it's spoken majoritarily in India.

Hindu is not a language you absolute knob

Fala a tua língua. Quase 800 milhões de pessoas percebem.

don't less than half the population speak hindi as well?

dunno about the numbers desu. but it's the lingua franca in the northern states

a lot of words have a slightly different meaning in spanish than portuguese
for example "acho" is "hallo" in spanish, but its almost a medieval word that nobody uses, and it only means "find"
or "percibir" only means "to sense", doesnt mean "to understand" so your phrase wouldnt make sense in spanish

This is mainly an issue of how it's taught, yeah?

Yeah, we just learn poems, simple vocab and how to conjugate our 13 irregular verbs

I was just in Portugal and everyone I meet spoke good English

No it's because the language is useless.

i think english partly has less value because of this, no one will be impressed if you speak it, and in fact most english speakers EXPECT every country in the world to be able to communicate in english
so english is kind of like a low-value, broad language, while learning another language will be much more appreciated BUT will only be useful in a handful of languages

Every language Is useless outside it's spoken territory,
other than Irish yeah, it's pretty useless
