Okay I'm saying it:
Why are people here still so bad at english if they have to learn it every year in school?

Because they don't apply what they're taught in any meaningful way.

High school english is one of the biggest meme itc

>>211924822
Because you guys have stuff like this

Literally no one that only studied it in school ever got good at it. After learning the basics, which you should have down by the age of like 10 or 11 if you had it since first grade, you just have to use it. English class was a bigger joke than German as it's just as basic but they expect you to not even be able to fully use it. It's like German class but for retards/kids; how is one supposed to learn a language this way?

Why are they teaching French schoolchildren how to speak like roadmen?

>>211924890
This guy has an english accent when speaking french, and his english accent seems native to me
That's way better than the vast majority of professors out there
We could've done student exchange and shit but you literally left europe

we study swedish here for many years too but cant speak it :D
the moment you get out of school it all slips out of your memory.

>>211925038
aren't Finnish and Swedish very similar?

>>211924983
You're studying the german language in the german class?
We do literature in french class here, you should have finished grammar and conjugation by 12yo

>>211924652 (OP)
You only get to scratch the surface in school

>>211925086
We don't study English grammar in English class after like grade 6. Especially in grade 10 and later you just read books and write essays like in German. That's what I'm comparing to each other. And the writing standards are just way lower in English class, even later on.

Shallow.

Yeah, why are Americans so bad at English?

>>211925063
as similar as japanese and korean yellow nigga

>>211924652 (OP)
Do you remember any subjects other than English that you studied at school?
In the first place, the subjects taught up to high school level, not just English, are superficial.
Your mistake is thinking that you have sufficient understanding of subjects other than English.

>>211924822
J'ai entendu parler que les classes d'anglais en France enseignent plus de la culture et de l'histoire anglophone que de la grammaire. C'est vrai ?

>the subjects taught up to high school level, not just English, are superficial
If I remembered all of the math I learnt in school I'd know quite a lot. Who needs more than high school level math irl outside of STEM fields?

>>211925350
I think the important thing about any subject at school, but certainly about math, is that you need to learn about it to a higher level than the level you plan to fall back on. I studied university level math, so this means I don't use it much and I'll be rusty when I return to it, but everything below that level is incredibly well understood. I don't think that's the same for people who stop at high school level math since you often fall back to a level of your lowest understanding and most people aren't even top of their classes during those periods either and can demonstrate great understanding.

On lit des extraits de livre ou des actualités
J'étais au lycée pendant le premier mandat de drumpf, on nous parlait des épicés et de blm

because they don't give a fuck, they already surrendered in life so learning usefull skills especially for the outside world is something that they are gonna do, on the other hand look at jeets they may be a invasive species of insects but they are very in tune with their survival instincts and if that means resource and opportunity to thrive then they would take it

>>211925063
they aren't even in the same macro family of languages

>>211924652 (OP)
Why are most people bad at math? I mean it's not like everyone has to study math since grade 1.
Most people study because they have to not because they want to learn that subject.
Also English wasn't mandatory at our school wwwww

>>211924652 (OP)
Do you talk about Japanese? That's because we only memorize grammar, words, and syntax in school, and don't practice in actual conversations.

i really dont care, you can still understand it anyways

>>211924652 (OP)
Because English is as hard for Japs as Japanese is for us, the languages are as different as you can get.

>>211924652 (OP)
what's the point of learning it if you will never use it outside of some travel and maaaybe shitposting?

>>211924652 (OP)
Because English is completely useless/irrelevant in Japan. The average Japanese can go their whole life without having to speak English. Wondering why Japs don't speak English is like wondering why Americans don't speak Japanese.

>>211924822
The point of HS English classes is simply to teach the basics of the language. It's up to you to build upon those basics to reach higher levels of fluency.

>>211924652 (OP)
You learn something, you forget them next week. Every subject ia treated as a hurdle and not a lession.

Les cours de langues en France/Wallonie = full propagande progressiste

>>211929294
Alors, l’anglais est-il obligatoire au lycée? Les étudiants peuvent-ils suivre d’autres classes comme l’espagnol ou l’italien?

Aux États Unis, on doit apprendre soit le français, l’espagnol, et l’allemand au lycée. J’ai pris l’espagnol pendant 2 ans. Malheureusement, j’ai oublié tout

>>211930574
Je suis tres desole pour toi, je ne me souviens pas de beaucoup parce que je connaissais déjà assez d'anglais pour bien le parler.

>>211930909
Je suis très jaloux des étrangers. Je déteste être monolingue. Je déteste aussi que presque tout le monde connaît l’anglais maintenant.

Mais ce n'était pas progressiste... Tout ce que je me rappelle, c'est de faire ce que je veux... 90-95% de temps?
