Are German or Russian worth learning? What uses can you give to those languages nowadays?

>>215866632 (OP)
How do you not know German while living in Austria?

>>215866686
They speak Austrian.

Russian is probably only useful for literature if you want the intended experience and to talk to people in Russian speaking countries.

>>215866632 (OP)
why would you learn the language of people who keep losing massive wars?

>>215866632 (OP)
>Russian
>German
>Worth learning
Do you live in Germany or Russia? Do you plan to move there? No? Then it's worthless, learn a global language like french

>>215866872
only Africans speak it apart from French though

>>215866632 (OP)
Do you want to live in one of these countries then yes.
Are you a scholar on one of these countries then yes
Are you a language learning autist who would have fun learning then yes
Else no

>>215866886
Beats talking to Russians and Germans

>>215866632 (OP)
if you are enthusiastic about learning new languages, want to read German/Russian literature and/or plan to live in a German- or Russian-speaking country, yes it's worth it

otherwise, no.

>>215866632 (OP)
Learn Chinese. You already speak Spanish

>>215866928
Anime is better in German than english. That makes it worth

>>215866935
How is knowing Spanish related to learning Chinese?

>>215867753
I should have added what I meant by that kek. What I was trying to say is that if you speak Spanish and Chinese (and English) the world is yours. You can move to anywhere

>>215866632 (OP)
Only English, Spanish and Chinese are gonna be relevant as 2nd languages to learn, maybe arabic to a lower extent

>>215866632 (OP)
pretend to learn russian/get basic knowledge of it in order to attract russian language exchange women

>>215870481
We don't get Russian language exchange women though.

>>215868773
>Arabic
Good luck learning this many conjugations for one single verb as a non-native. That's saying nothing for the rest of the grammar system which goes much much deeper and is hell even for natives. Did i mention all the dialects are different?

>>215872323
Also multiply all of these by every one of the forms in picrel (there are more dw). Also consider that any of these could change depending on what pronoun is attached to them and what kind of article is in front of the verb even if it's separated from it by multiple words. Did i mention that this is the most basic verb i could think of and that there are irregular verbs with their own conjugations and loanwords and that you need to figure these out just to make adjectives or comparative adjectives because everything is derived from a root verb? Have fun lol
