Used to think learning another language was pointless but I think I'm going to give it a go anyhow, it's supposed to be good for your brain and all that jazz and will be interesting.

At the minute I'm thinking the only ones worth learning are French, Spanish and German. Which of these 3 do you think I should learn?

Sidenote: I did do French for 3 years at school but only ever got to a basic level and can only remember about 10 words at best now

Pic not really related but didn't have anything relevant to attach

>I can only remember about 10 words at best now

Since your mother tongue is English, I think you can understand hundreds and hundreds and thousands and thousands of French words

All useless because French and Germans speak English and no spic country is worth visiting save Spain.

Learn Chinese for the job opportunities, seriously. That and China is awesome to visit.

Translation: All the German and French people that I met in America spoke English.

>>60411701
That's a fair point, would French be considerably easier than the others though? I'm sure there's also similarities with German and Spanish too

'no'
I have no plans to visit or work in China and I hate all chinkies
Not to mention it's going to be 10x harder than the others

>>60411893
And then there's Quebecois who speak neither.

Well, your language is Germanic (in theory) after all

Currently learning both Spanish and French, and Spanish seems much easier to me. I like literal translations, and French seems to fuck around too much and it confuses me. For example, the translation for 'What is this?' (Qu'est-ce que c'est?) literally translates to something like 'What is this that it is?'. Sort it out Frenchies, get rid of all those pointless words.

You can also say "Qu'est-ce ?" (more formal), though.

>mfw aujourd'hui (today) literally means "at the day of today"
>uncultured Frenchmen even say "au jour d'aujourd'hui", i.e. "at the day of at the day of today"

>>60412278
nah

if you don't have a reason to learn a language, you won't learn.

>>60411547

Get the Duolingo app.
