In 2012, there were about 48,000 registered Muslims in Oslo, making up about 8% of the population, and about 33,000 registered Roman Catholics.[108] Life stance communities, mainly the Norwegian Humanist Association, had about 18,000 members in 2011.

How? Well, I live in Schleswig-Holstein, Northern Germany. My mum is Italian, she thaught me Italian and German. I've earnt English and Danish at school and Spanish is easy as fuck if you know Italian. Maybe I'll start to learn Norwegian too.

It used to bother me and i wanted to learn a second language. So i spent time researching different languages to try and figure out which one i should try to learn. I got pretty in to learning 'about' different languages, their histories and structures and relationship to other languages.

Being a useless NEET i didn't really consider 'usefulness' of the language, i wanted to learn one just to know one, and if anything was looking for the one that i could most use to express myself.

After reading a lot, i came to the conclusion that english is actually the best language, and my time would be better spent just learning more about english.

If i could just instantly know any language though id pick greek, its the second best language, and its alphabet is actually better than the latin alphabet. English should use it i think.
>>
>>52613381
I didn't say that it's a shit language. English is not a bad language by any means. It's just really tripped of grammatical complexity.

There's literally nothing bad about speaking multiple languages. Quite the opposite actually.

The only places I'd ever want to live have English as an official language or have so many English speakers that it doesn't matter.
When you're just visiting, who gives a fuck?
It seems like the only reason an Anglo would learn a new language is to try to get laid or watch anime or some shit.
Both are pretty pathetic.

Best case, I can get by reading and writing, but listening comprehension is my Achilles heel. Languages are German and Japanese. Need more immersion I guess.

Es ist eigentlich nicht so schwierig, sich in einer jeweiligen Sprache zu vertiefen. Mann muss einfach die Sprache so oft wie möglich nutzen. Das heißt, man muss sie schreiben, lesen und sprechen.

Tust du das? Ich erwarte eine Beantwortung auf Deutsch.

Can you think anyway why you would need to speak Italian? Me neither.
>>
>>52615609
>How can I practice my French.
Find some natives that you can write to/speak to frequently. Assuming your French is somewhat decent they'll correct you when you make mistakes. If your French is terrible and you make mistakes constantly no one will bother to correct you so you should improve a bit more in that case.
