I started shitposting in a mexican video game forum back in 2005 or something, and there was these super cool clique always talking about "4chan" and posting image macros. They used a lot of english lingo and teenager me thought It was really cool.

Basically, I put a big effort on learning english so I could understand and shitpost properly here in 4chan.

It must be easier to learn English when the world's most popular media - films, TV, music, vidya - are all in English.

It's really hard to find good stuff to watch or listen to in Spanish. I know it's out there it's just not as easily accessible
>>
>>51490541
That ain't Finnish nigga (except for perkeleen which is an inflected form of perkele)
>>
>>51481773
School.
Interwebz.
Video games - when I was a kid there were almost no video games in Polish.
A bit from songs.

>>51490597
I knew I was dominating Finnish but I didn't know it was that superior.
Thank finn bro :3

Less "Permitted" and more "Accepted". We were 22 peoples and languages when the Spaniards arrived. Instead of conquering a thousand warring tribes in a land with no Gold or Roads, the Spaniards just played them off of each other. The interior of the country is still hard to reach, and so...well...if we can't feed, count, or educate our own people, I think language is the least concern.
>>
Because it's an easy language and most of the stuff I like is on English.

American imperialism, I was taught it in school, the majority of the material on the internet is in English. In addition to English & Norwegian I speak German.

Even those who created english understood it was complete shit. Thats why they borrowed so much from superior romance languages.
But it kinda backfired and english is a bastardized mutt of a language.
>>
>>51488044
that's some damn fine english my son, congrats
>>
>>51481773
Because I used to browse lots of American forums as a kid. They talked about stuff that interested me, so it just felt necessary to learn it. I didn't do it consciously, it just happened.
>>
>>51492886
It was called the British Empire you idiot.

If Britain hadn't conquered 1/3 of the world do you seriously believe English would currently be the world language?

If it weren't for the British Empire we'd all be speaking Spanish or French right now you stupid stary-stripped flag motherfucker.
>>
>>51481773
It is the lingua franca. I want to be able to communicate with people from other countries and I don't have time to learn a hundred languages, and sadly they don't know Finnish.
If I didn't know English I wouldn't be able to enjoy most video games, because we don't dub or translate that stuff here. I wouldn't be able to get a kick out of English literature either.

Where did I learn it? School and internet.

Incidentally, I also started learning Hebrew. I can speak and write it hardly though.
