Why did you chose your 2nd language /int/
>>60592969
Weil Französisch und Spanisch blöd sind.
>>60593016
Oh okay
>>60592969
I didn't, i needed it to post memes in the darkest corner of the internet.
I chose French because it was the closest language to English and I think it has good prospects to become one of the most spoken languages in the future because of Africa's population boom. And because it's so damn beautiful.
just wish I had a french qt though ;_;
Because I need them welfare checks, ese
>>60592969
4chan was in English, so I had to learn it to shitpost.
>>60593089

I chose Norwegian because I want to move to Norway

You need English to get a good job in this country. Funny because I won an award for best English at my high school graduation and here I sit unemployed.
>>60593160
Thats super fucked up man sorry
I chose Esperanto to play out conversations with my make-believe girlfriend. I'd say a joke and Ayn(my air girlfriend's name) would laugh and in my feminine voice, she'd tell me "Mi amas vin <3"
Because it was the right thing to do.
It was chosen for me by Finnish school system. English. And it was good that way,

It's my own fault, long story. I live in a really small town in Northern Québec, had an opportunity to get out but didn't. I'm going to college in the fall though.

>Why did you chose your 2nd language
I didn't.
>thread on /int/ for a german group
>decide to join because i've wanted to pick up a language and german looked like a good one
>start studying german but then slow down at the grammar because i'm too lazy to read about that noise
>couple of norwegians in the german group keep speaking norwegian to each other
>look into norwegian, helluva lot easier than german so i get into that
>canadian bro in the group talks about french most of the time
>look into french
>not that easy but wanted a romantic language so i start studying it
>one of the norwegians starts learning russian
>try to be a special snowflake and i'm now studying polish
Moral of the story - Don't be like me and know less than half of 4 languages because you have the attention span of a gnat and you can't commit to one thing.
>2nd language
the only people worth talking to already speak american buddy
>>60593376

You mean Spanish, yeah?
>>60592969
the tower of babel looks curiously similar to the eu parliament building

At least Spanish is a white european language. Enjoy your Somali and Arabic.

That's deliberate, The EU doesn't hide its globalist intentions at all.
>>60593443
>Spanish is a white european language
Oh I'm sure it is, too bad the people speaking it aren't
>>60592969
I grew up with 2 languages.... Afrikaans and English, mostly because we have 11 fucking "official" languages even though everyone who lives in integrated society speaks English
>>60592969
I chose Spanish (Amerifag) because I went to a small high school and it was either that or French. Had little interest in either. German was not on offer, or I would have taken that.
In college I chose Ancient Greek, Sanskrit, Mandarin, and a wee bit of Latin. Because classical studies and linguistics... and general interest.

Hungarian dubbing is both inaccurate and 99% of the actors' voices made me cringe hard.
Thus I needed a way to enjoy American cinema - and I only needed to learn a bit of Engish for it.

>>60598008
Lovely. What did you do back there? How was it like living there?
>>60592969
more like it chose me
>>60598091
In college I majored in Mandarin and software engineering. For a few years I did programming in Beijing. I found a tourism company in Xinjiang that wanted a person with fluent Mandarin and English to be an interpreter on tours. I got that job, and over the course of my time in Xinjiang, I made Uyghur friends and decided to study Uyghur.
>>60598091
>How was it like living there?
Forgot to answer this part. It was nice, Uyghurs are very welcoming, especially to foreigners who take an interest in Uyghur culture and speak Uyghur. It definitely was tense during times of crackdowns, though.
>>60592969
It's obligatory to learn a 2nd language here, so my parents picked German (I was 7, I had no saying in it).
I chose English in high school because I can practically use it in every country.
>>60594076
what if the EU considers themselves a higher power
>>60593376
>the only people worth talking to already speak american buddy
No.
My parents shoved me into an english speaking kindergarten when I was 3 so I didn't have much of a say in the matter. Kinda wish they had put me into a swedish speaking one instead since they gave me a swedish name and I can't speak swedish for shit and essentially dropped out of high school due to that.
In addition I was supposed to start studying German at age 11 but no one else was interested in it so the class got cancelled.
>>60598892
why didnt you learn korean
>muh opportunities
>>60598909
Don't know, maybe I should have so I could woo those plastic k-pop chicks.

Don't you guys (bar americans) have a second and third language in your schools? I had English and Russian. Some schools have other languages. Nobody asks whether you want it or not.
