What are the benefits of learning French?
knowing french

1. You can speak to 3rd world niggers
2. You can also speak to the people from the former colonies of france
None. Don't fall for the "romantic" meme. Unless you want to get married to a big black guy called Marcel.

My qt high school oneitis took french so I took it for 3 years and eventually in college we banged a bunch.

C'est bon, chef.
you can watch Habs games and order poutine
Learning languages is always useful. I know burgers dont seem to grasp this but think a bit
We can pick up French girls.
>>59578534
Conversely, you might want to learn about a little thing called "opportunity cost".
you can pretend to be french and pick up american girls
visit quebec.
>>59578592
>pick up american girls
You'd also need a crane for that.

My dream
French waked up and becoming a little bit brave.
So I like French now.

If you wanna learn a new language, try German, Norwegian or any Germanic for that matter. They are similar to English.
>>59578417
The only language where doing that will actually enhance your pronunciation

What are the opportunity cost of learning a language

Kek
>>59578608
never again
>>59578441
>>59578448
Like clockwork
>>59578390
None, retarded language
>>59578390
It's a blast to learn. Also you can read French literature.
>>59581620
Why spend 1000 hours learning the language just to read a book when you can read its English translation in 5 hours?
>>59578571
>talking about opportunity costs
>on 4chan
this place has cost you about a million opportunities to change your life for the better already
learning languages isn't nearly as much of a waste, in fact it's mostly a valuable skill
>>59581513
It wastes precious time you could spend shitposting.
>>59581692
It's not the same. I'm not a snob about translations, like most of the fags on /lit/, but it's just not.
It's more patrician than Spanish and English desu
also french ye-ye is best and serge gainsbourg
>>59581692
Because you lose a lot in translations
>>59581746
Why not shitpost in the language you are learning
>>59581692
Dont you want to read 4 20 leagues under the seas in the origional text
>>59578390
You can speak to Frenchmen
So basically, none
>>59581883
>4 20 leagues
Ayy
>>59581883
Of course, but there a gorilion other things I want to do just as much. Like learn financial jewjitsu, general relativity, and how to make the perfect porno.
>>59581844
It's not as fun as you may believe
literally none
french movies sucks
french series sucks
french literature is meh
french people will rather speak to you in english if you don't speak french perfectly
>>59581693
Like it or not, Jean-Pierre here has a thoroughly unassailable point.
>>59581692
Ever translated texts ? Not school stuff, actual complex texts
I'm the only one who speaks English in this country so I did it for work even though it's not my job.
And I guarantee you have to change things, a lot. Many words and expressions don't translate, you have to always rephrase everything. Slang is almost impossible to translate too.
As a result all style gets lost. Substance without style isn't something you want to read.
Some authors you shouldn't even bother with. Céline comes to mind, can't imagine anyone reading it not in French and actually getting it. Or even just enjoying it.
>>59581989
pretty much this
>>59578448
If I was a white woman, I would.
