proof me Why i need to know any other “languages” than English

TRVKE

I'm not paid to lecture retards.
I'm going to learn German and Arabic next.

You can learn Ancient and Complex Analysis at the same time bro. It's ez.

and yet i am rich and you are poor… curious

>>211828499
>I'm richer than you
I honestly doubt that. Maybe if you are an heir or won the lottery, but let's face it, any retard could do that.

>>211828541
you are a monkey you are rich in bananas

I know it's shit post but why does the nigga on the left know optometry

>>211828551
You are a retard that thinks that learning a language is hard. I did learn French while acing my college Physics exams and all that while also self-studying computer science, philosophy and learning how to draw. You just don't have what it takes, face it.

>>211828607
ooh ooh aah aah

J'encule à sec l'anglais américain.

>>211828631
Richer than you, bitch.

I feel like it's better to be elite at one language than good at 2.

>>211828552
Because it's one of the critical skills of life for success

>>211828406 (OP)
I genuinely can't imagine not knowing what thinking in another language feels like. Why would you willingly lobotomize yourself like that?

>>211828690
Not really, you would rather just great at your own native language and decent at understanding every single other language. Because it is not like interpreters aren't a thing.

Based. I'm against education too.

Take another crack at English.

>>211828690
Sure, I'd rather be Shakespeare and just speak English, but for most that is a lot more difficult if not outright impossible. Also, people like Goethe knew like 5 languages and were still "elite" in their mother tongue.

>>211828783

Yes really, mastery of communication is notoriously key to success in business

>>211828690
Jack of all trades and master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.

>>211828406 (OP)
Chaque langue est une expérience de pensée, et tu fermes des portes à ta perception du monde en refusant d'apprendre une autre langue. Tu prends l'hégémonie de l'anglais pour acquise mais quand ton monde s'effondrera tu seras content de pouvoir penser "out of the box"...

>>211829139
You aren't that great in your own native language if learning another language isn't a trivial matter, anon. You can cope, you can squirm and scream, but that is how things roll. I did learn French by myself in 9 months.

>>211829241

I bet you sound like shit too. You're just a narcissist retard that doesn't understand what I'm getting at. Just because people politely tolerate your 3 year old hold on language doesn't mean it's effective for anything serious.

>>211829227
>Chaque langue est une expérience de pensée,
absolument surcoté

>>211829292
I didn't bother learning how to speak French, this is why you are a retard, you are thinking that what you say is so fucking important. I learn languages so that I can hear people better.

>>211829292
He's the same guy who doesn't know what a sunburn looks like. This is his version of a pastime.

>Monolingual
>God
By your own definition, God is omniscient at Omnifluent in ALL languages

I mean in America you obviously don't need anything other than English. But if you're a person who travels instead of sitting in one country all the time wasting your life you'd obviously benefit from learning a language

>>211829690
>you’re wasting your life if you don’t travel
what retarded shit is that?
also yes i do travel, and all the places i’ve gone to speak English or have a high degree of English speakers (UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Korea)

Americans aren't good at literally anything.

Compare US with Switzerland, this is perhaps the best proof of monoligual underdeveloped brains

>>211828406 (OP)
this isn't how it works. your brain has 100 trillion connnections and 100 billion neurons. knowing 6 languages, AKA 6 different vocabulary words for "apple" doesn't really tax that.

this is also why people with multiple langauges have lower incidence of cognitive impairment. They have many backup connections

monolingual
>apple --- this connection/neuron dies
Now they have no way to describe an apple and they're fucked.

polyglot
>apple --- this connection/neuron dies
>der Apfel
>la mela
>la pomme
>jablko
>ringo
They still have 5 different ways to describe an apple.

>proof me
Not even properly monolingual

>>211828406 (OP)
Monolingualism is only based if you have your own language. If you're monolingual and speak someone else's language, you're royalty among cuckolds.

>>211828406 (OP)
it's useless unless you're some autist with a fascination for languages or like the media behind a certain language. Like English or japanese have tons of video games, music, or literature to thrive from.

what the fuck does portugese have? books from centuries ago and pardo retards?

or maybe you want to deal with insufferable aspies like this?
>>211828607

all polygots lie about their actual proficiency in another language, btw

>>211829357
>I didn't bother learning how to speak French
you didn't learn it then

>>211837365
I don't care about what you think. I did stop studying it when I though that is was sufficient for my own practical purposes for learning it. It is not like I did learn to prove some shit to internet retards.
>>211837247
Dude, I could go through those Michel Thomas courses and speak French. I did read Descartes' Discourse de la Methode in French. I also did read Rimbaud poems, that is proficient enough for my own wants and needs.

>tfw I learned portuguese only to realize how retarded the natives are
Why did I do this to myself?

The Chinese guy who speaks English?
Yeah, he speaks english well enough to know "Proof me" only works if you're made of dough.

>>211828406 (OP)
I don't need to prove anything to you. Infact, i like being more knowledgeable than an american, although to be fair that's quite a low bar.

>>211828406 (OP)
So, what's your math level? What do you know about nuclear physics? What art have you created or do you know any artists? What philosophy books have you read?

Arabic has medieval texts and a literary tradition. Japanese is interesting because they have great artists, most still alive.

I heard academics often have to translate works from other languages, not to mention knowing languages well can get you a job as a translator (AI still can't do it lol)

monoglots unironically think this is how the brain works
