I've learned 2 languages but nobody wants to talk to me or thinks I'm cool because of it so they're useless. Did you waste time learning languages in your country?

Only option is to kys Anon

I spent $5,000 in community college to learn Old Church Slavonic and I don't remember but one or two words.

>>212981528 (OP)
What language?

I think you're cool

>>212981599

Holy autistic! Even Luke Smith would see this and make fun of you

I learned Japanese just so I could watch anime without using subs (and dubs is out of the question) and Japanese vtubers.

>>212981670
Anime is shit and gay though; watch some real Japanese movies.

>>212981717
I watch both.

>>212981605
Spanish and Portuguese

>>212981528 (OP)
I can eavesdrop in French, and know enough of a handful of languages to tell when people are talking to me, or when they're talking shit. I've never really had any opportunity for immersion.

>>212981599
Fucking kek did you want to be a priest doing funerals or some shit? Why else would you learn it

>>212981742
Just vacation to latam.

>>212981742
if you are white and blonde you will have a blast fucking white latinas here
if you are not then don't come we are full

>>212982280
Well... shit.
I guess I'll just keep fucking brown latinas here.

>>212981742
Hey! You learn French and you can pretty much travel to any country in North and South America and be able to communicate with pretty much anyone

>>212981528 (OP)
Learned English (the language of videogames)

>>212982547
You can travel to Quebec, speak three words of French, and realize that they'd rather speak English and treat you like shit than allow you to speak with an accent or idioms that aren't local, regardless of your command of the language.

>>212982704
Not all Quebeckers speak English.

Gaijin is so lucky cuz you can learn English as second language as if ABCD

I have been learning English but my English seems like alienglish

I study 3 languages
I haven't spoken to anyone in any of them, never intend to and never planned to before I started studying them
I spend about 1 hour reading in one of them and try to get about 40 minutes total with the others each day but it can sometimes be difficult

>>212983809
The most important thing, once you have a certain basic level, isn't studying English, it's using English- read books you like and watch movies you enjoy in English, chat with people in English, set your OS's interface to English, etc.

>>212982280
I am white and blond but I'm fat so it doesn't matter.

>>212982574
I actually learned a lot of Spanish and Portuguese by switching games to the Spanish/Portuguese dub. And watching translated cartoons, anime, TV shows, movies, etc.
The LatAm Spanish dub for The Simpsons is really good.

If English is your first language there is literally no reason to learn another one. Absolutely 0.
>but muh travel!
The world operates in English to a degree that is shocking if you’ve never traversed it. You can pretty much always find someone that speaks it. Your half assed attempt at the local language won’t do shit for you, the shopkeeper or whoever is just gonna switch to English. And you can’t be fluent in 20 languages to know the local language everywhere anyway.
>what about for work!
The only 2 languages that make sense for this is Spanish and Mandarin Chinese. In both those cases, this means your job will most likely involve dealing with either native Spanish speakers or, god forbid, Chinese people. This is not a good life decision, unless you hate yourself.
>ok but I’m a weeb and I want to larp as a jap!
You will never be Japanese, you aren’t even going to go to Japan. And if you ever make it there you won’t be getting a Japanese girlfriend no matter if you speak wapanese or not. Kys.

So anyway just be glad you speak the only globally relevant language.

>>212984588
English is fine for traveling if you don't want to leave the touristy beaten path, but there are man parts of the world where fluent English speakers are not common.
Also you left out the best reason to learn Japanese: all the untranslated hentai.

>>212983616
They'll limp through it just to avoid hearing an auslander speak French... even if that French is a combination of Ontarois and Parisien.

>>212984620
Ok so let’s say you are one of the few people that regularly travel internationally. And let’s say you are one of the few people among those few people that regularly go far enough off the beaten bath you can’t find any English speakers. Which language do you learn? You need an insane amount of time for it to be functionally useful, and you don’t need just one. The only one that makes any kind of sense at all is Spanish, because there’s so many countries that use it. But generally speaking, Spanish speaking countries aren’t that great to visit compared to much of the rest of the world. I actually do take back my original point though. There is one reason to learn another language, if you move somewhere. It’s miserable not being fluent in the local language where you live. And anyone who doesn’t do it is a giant retard.

>>212981528 (OP)
of course no one talks to you in the USA, they barely know just one lang and culture and keep smelling their asses for it, just imagine being proud of that, tho, you're an exception anon

real question is, do you really think monolinguals are interesting?
try to meet people in your target language, I'm sure they'll appreciate you more

>>212984620
>all the untranslated hentai
AI will fix this soon if not already.
The point of learning languages in the modern day is to connect deeper with people and challenge yourself.

>>212984588
The Lithuanian internet has close to zero nons which is enough reason to learn it

i learned spanish for the sole purpose of hitting on latinas in my state. las abuelas tambien. les encanto

>>212984588
>the shopkeeper or whoever is just gonna switch to English
Clearly you haven't gone much outside of tourist spots. Most people around the world are not, in fact, reddit zoomers who speak English
>And you can’t be fluent in 20 languages to know the local language everywhere anyway
You can be fluent in one or two of them and use it to talk to hundreds of millions of people
>The only 2 languages that make sense for this is Spanish and Mandarin Chinese.
Neither of these will ever be valuable for work. If a Chinese person wants to hire a guy who speaks Chimese he's gonna hire a fucking Chinese person who's familiar with the mentality and work culture. If a Chinese company wants to hire internationally they'll use English since that's the language of business. Spanish is great for travelling and watching TV series, but if you explicitly want to work or move to a Spanish speaking country then aside from Spain I don't see why anyone would do that since those countries are a downgrade compared to America. The actual valuable business language is German since it opens up Germany Switzerland and Austria which are all rich developed nations with a strong industry. A lot remote tech jobs ask for Russian too.
Not to mention that plenty of languages like Spanish, Russian, German, Portuguese, French, Japanese etc. have their own sections of the internet that are basically worlds of their own full of interesting online communities, articles, books, art, music, research papers and so on that are only waiting to be discovered by outsiders
Anyway you're dumb. Enjoy living in your bubble

>>212983616
why would you want to speak to a quebecois redneck who doesn't speak english

>>212981742
>brown and brown
Grim

>>212981670
Vtubers are shit and gay though; watch some real Japanese idols.

>>212985979
>real Japanese idols
Boring corpa shit.

>>212981528 (OP)
I'm curently learning mandarin and I will use it, because there is no way I'm staying in shitrope.
