English and Spanish master race.
>actually replying seriously
You are supposed to be either triggered or aroused by the race mixing pic
just three by now
>Spanish for life, English for international communication and Italian for art and because I'm a pretentious snob.
Italian, English, and French. I'm studying Japanese now. I want to try Russian again in a few years after I'll pass the N1.
There's no such thing as pure race sweetie ;)
Pol tier humor pal, go back there or keep being triggered by truly redpilled anons [:
Spanish, Catalan, German and English all fluent. Would certainly love to learn French someday though, it's beautiful
Spanish and English are the ones I fluently speak. I'm learning Japanese but still can't say I speak it on a basic level.
Would like to learn Russian, somehow I don't really learn if I'm not into a presential course.
Why Cantonese as well as Mandarin? Are you actually fluent in all of those?
Forgot to post mine.
English. Mandarin. Japanese. Learning Urdu/Hindi and Thai/Lao.
>Would like to learn Russian, somehow I don't really learn if I'm not into a presential course.
Why?
Procrastination
Just imagine yourself learning Russian, yes russian, that fucking disgusting, nasty, putrid language, fucking inserting it into your brain. Having that goblin speak incripted inside your memory.
Now imagine people doing that deiliberately to themselves.What have the world come to?
Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrin, English, German
how well do you guys actually speak english?
I'm learning it. Beautiful people and a beautiful language. youtu.be
Been in Canada for a month and didn't have problems at all on communicating. The only issues I had was when listening to an Indian employee at some 7Eleven.
My accent is very bad and I hate it but I can talk and keep up a conversation in English
He's an ukie mutt
My English is unironically good, pretty good American accent and barely make any mistakess.
only American
it opens the door to great russian literature
Anyone saying more than 3 or 4 is bullshitting
At what point can I claim that I "speak a language"?
I fluently speak German and English.
I also understand enough French to read the /fr/ threads and understand 75% of the non-meme posts.
I'm not very good at speaking French though.
And then again I also understand 75% of the Dutch posts in /nederdraad/ and I cannot speak Dutch.
I know a little Japanese, but mostly just what I picked up through anime + Hiragana/Katakana and a few dozen basic Kanji .
I also took an Indonesian course and a Russian course once, but dropped out after 2 months, and after 3 weeks, respectively.
I don't like saying "I only speak German and English" because it doesn't convey my enthusiasm for foreign languages adequately.
But the truth is, I really only speak German and English....
I guess you could say I'm a special snowflake haha (:
Macedonian, serbian, croatian, bosnian, slovenian, bulgarian kinda russian and know some basic german with good grammar (need to improve my vocabulary desu)

Fluently : French, English
Okay level, lacking vocabulary : Greek (from my're dad)
Learning : Spanish, Russian
(I'm starting to git gud in Russian I'm really happy)
How do you learn languages ?
SELECT "Hello frend, i speak SQL as well" FROM table;
How many did you make up ?
can you actually speak them fluently ?
Isnt the difference from Belarus to Russian like the difference from us to Brit English at best, with Ukraine being slightly further distanced like maybe Scottish? It all seems pretty similar
Norwegian, English, Spanish and Japanese.
is the best way to learn a language just to write a massive amount of sentence?
Honestly, I don't count em, I just speak it. I'looop kahuuu;'Manechka.
That's why I'm learning Russian desu
Sure, I love Russian, but once I know it I'll be able to learn bulgarian (relatively) easily, then once I know Bulgarian I'll know macedonian, then I'll know serbian, then croatian, then slovenian.
I will be the master of the Balkans since I already speak greek. (I am a Greek)
No. There are four language skills you need to practice: writing, reading, listening and speaking.
You need to practice all four of these, not just one.
I made this mistake when I learned English.
I can read well, and write well, and listen well. But I cannot speak it that well. I have a terrible accent that my peers don't have.
Based on my experience:
Not in the slightest. Most of the learning is going to come from input. Learning the basics and then immersing yourself is the most effective way of a learning the language quickly.
i see. ive been just reading and writing because i want to read as soon as possible
No that will bore you out of your mind and you'll lose interest before getting anywhere. Start with YouTube vids and apps/websites, and make sure you have a purpose or goal for leaning it. Flashcards > writing a shit ton once you get to that point. You'll also eventually probably need real textbooks.
I'm fluent on english, french and I'm learning japanese. My mother ongue is spanish.
Not gonna lie, just Portuguese and English. I'm still studying English so I can claim I myself to be upper-advanced, C2. But I also study Japanese.
Not judging you, but I giggle at who knows more than three or so languages. I have work enough to do with those two languages and wouldn't like to spend more time than I do now with other further study, yet considering I must keep studying them not to forget, for the rest of my life.
how difficult is japanese?
All Asian languages suck dicks to learn as an English speaker. Don't even bother, especially for a meme one like Japanese.
Polish, English, Brazilian
>Third greatest economy in the world
>Meme
Now for a quick insight into the americanus schoolshootus' brain...
only german and english, minimal amount of french, even more minimal amount of chinese
>tfw uneducated
Its hard, you need to study a lot for many years and still wont be fluent. On the other hand, its incredibly satisfying to learn the language, makes me happy as fuck to spend my time on it
>Moldovan
Accents don't count.
Finnish and English
Russian, English, French
Might learn Arabic

Azerbaijani, Turkish, Turkman, Turkmen, Gagauz, Crimean Tatar, Karakalpak, Russian, English
It's a language spoken only in one tiny ass country, and a country you can visit comfortably without knowing any Japanese at all since the US invaded ages ago. They'll also still look down on you as a foreigner even if you do become fluent, so what's the fucking point? Everything worth anything already has translations nearly immediately. At least suffering through learning Chinese you'd pick up a language for a country far more isolated from the western world. Not that I really recommend that either, but I can see the point. Korean and Japanese are worthless for westerners if you aren't going to be a professional interpretor or something business related.
i'm thinking about picking up a programming language but i'm not sure if it's worth it
I don't think I'm able to answer this properly, but my perception till then is that the difficulty with Japanese lies in the fact that the language is unnecessarily archaic. There're many ways to read an ideogram, and even when it is part of an actual word, the pronunciation changes too. This because they imported words from China and kept the Chinese way to pronounce them, but then, created new ones. It is just ridiculous, not to speak of the amount of things you have to decorate.
They had centuries to reform the language as well as Joseon did in Korea.
Their sentence constructions are overturned, the verb is always at the end of the sentence, there're no articles, numbers, and so on. In English, you say: I read a book. In Japanese: book read.
Katakana and Hiragana are not a problem, really. They are just the tip of the iceberg.
Why does he use polite Sie with a girl he is clearly intimate with? This book is trash!
Unless you can use it as a hobby or to work, it is kind of pointless
anyway, which ones are you interested? maybe we can help you
congratulations
Absolutely no idea i guess an all purpose one like C++ from what i've heard
fluent in english
can read and generally understand spanish since i took it for 8 years and occasionally listen to music in spanish and sometimes watch tv and sports in spanish...ask me to speak it and i'll shit the bed though
is there anything out there better than duolingo that isn't literally paying for courses?
Hungarian obviously
English
German
Spanish
Mandarin
I'd also like to learn Russian
I tried to learn French but I just hate those frog and snail eating fucks I couldn't do it.
There's tons of free stuff out there, depends on the language you want. Unironically check the subreddit for the language. Russian has this resource list for example: gratisglobal.com
I agree about Korea. Those fuckers have America's cock so deep inside them, they even adopted the practice of circumcision to please their Jewish masters.
But Japan? You probably won't be able to speak English to anyone outside of big cities like Tokyo.
At least that's how I imagine it based on my own country.
I'm here for almost six years so I think a lot in english. Believe it or not I never had a conversation in english IRL (except bantering with my sister who speaks fluently too)

Stop projecting. If something is not useful for you, it doesn't mean it's for everyone.
is your sister hot?
It's probably pointless to ask since it's your first language, but do you have any recommendations for learning Hungarian? Should I go to a language school? It seems pretty hopeless on my own.
not hot
she's actually a copy of me what's kinda bad
Fluent in German and English, conversational/upper intermediate in French.
Additionally I'm 1k into my 10k Spanish Anki deck.
I've fooled around a bit with Japanese but right now I'm not ready for AJATTing.
>it's always white women who go for non white men
rly makes u think huh
M'key, mr. pragmatist, what kind of language should a native english speaker learn from a practical point of view, then? Economy, science, arts/humanities - there is plenty of everything in English speaking countries combined. I won't advocate learning a lang just for the memes, either, but if your pragmatic standards are of basic level, then there is no reason for you to learn any language.
>what kind of language should a native english speaker learn from a practical point of view, then?
If you live in America: Spanish
If you live in the UK: Arabic
If you live in Australia: Chinese
>I won't advocate learning a lang just for the memes
And btw, Chinese are perfectly capable of English once they get to Western unis
or after 2/3 generations, for that matter
A language that covers areas you can't get by in English and or your native language. Arabic, Spanish, Chinese and Russian are all good options. There's maybe solid historical reason to pick up German or French. Hell, pajeet or asean languages are probably a better investment than Japanese.

The Brazilian you first replied to:
>and a country you can visit comfortably without knowing any Japanese
The rate for english profeciency in Japan is severely low and most Japanese I talked to showed no interest in learnig it..
>They'll also still look down on you as a foreigner even if you do become fluent, so what's the fucking point?
I can already see you typed this comment with your head full of premade-facts.
Not only Japanese people compliment you greatly when you try to speak their language, they encourage you to do so.
TLDR
Don't talk shit if you don't know about the subject in matter
English and German
I'm happy with it
good post
>French. everyone knows they are arrogant
If they weren't this way, I would not like them though.
They get full tsundere mode when you finally get them to like you.
>They get
They go
STFU faggot. Russian is one of the most beautiful languages out there. I say that unironically, just to be clear.
