4 chan is in my daily life.

i met buildiers from Turkey at MD and used English and helped them to buy food (as intepriter)

>do you speak English in your daily life?

Not at all. I never spoke english outside of the internet and english classes at school.
>>
Yes, every day

What a silly question, nippon
>>
>>60812119
Yes, although I like learning languages so I practice speaking them too at least once or twice a week.
>>
Only when talking to tourists.
>>
Only when playing some vidya

Yes, but only because I'm participating in international volunteer programs.

>>60812119
that's wrong isn't it?
we cannot speak...
>>
>>60812309
>Are you a weeb?
No, last time I watched anime was Dragon Ball Z when I was a kid.
>I hope you aren't trying to learn yapanese
I am, amongst other languages.
>>
I think in English but almost never speak it.
>>
Yes almost everyday. Because the Malaysian Chinese here can't speak Malay even to save their lives. Even if they only ever lived in Malaysia. This is to show how retarded they is.
>>
>>60812355
what is english ?
have you ever heard English?
no ,i haven't .

>>60812292
Me too, mate. Which ones are you learning currently?

Also I try not to if I can avoid it.
>>
>>60812551
Not that I give a fuck, but it's one of the world's largest economies and at the cutting edge of many areas of technology/science. I don't learn languages because of that though, I learn them for enjoyment and to better understand/communicate with cultures that interest me. Chinese culture doesn't interest me and I think it's an ugly language, so no matter how "useful" it is I'd never learn it.

Try learning malay/indo. It's close to home, you can do business in Singapore too. Both malay and indo are similar in their ways

IMO just let Japan rot tbqhfamalam

but you can speak to me :3
>>
>>60812697
French, Spanish and Japanese. You?
>>60812767
I'd never want to live/visit a sterile Orwellian dump like Singapore. I've considered learning Indo Bahasa before, but I want to master my current languages before that. Also there are so many others on my list I'll probably never get around to it.
>>
>>60812852
At the moment: German, Italian, French, Dutch, Japanese (kind of)
>>
>>60812767
Why would you want to learn Malay? Almost all Malaysians understand English. Infact in most professional settings, especially private sectors, we communicate mostly in English. You can live here for years and not need to learn more than a few words.

>>60812119

No, only on the internet. I almost never verbally speak English, my pronounciation is probably horrible.
>>
>>60812925
Why do you guys still write in Latin script and not go back to Chinese characters? It hurts to try and read your words.

>>60812942
Good thing the Dutch accents are cool.
>>
>>60812119
I'm on this webpage on my daily life so I speak english everyday.

Since I not socialize, I even speak more english than German....

Serbia.
Yeah i usually speak English while I'm alone, most people think it's creepy. I also speak with internet friends over skype.

>>60812976
It's not comfortable speaking Vietnamese but writing Chinese you know. And chữ Nôm was written like Chinese if they were even more complex.
>>
>>60812891
Ya oke pak
Terima kasih ya

>>60813141
chữ Nôm was what I meant, my bad. Is that still used, or is it just Latin script now?
>>
>>60812119

France
Never, even when tourists ask me something, the answer is in french, because we are in France.

I love you Dutchies. I've never med a bad Dutch person.

You guys sound like you're speaking German with a stroke, though. Sorry.
>>
>>60813460
Not entirely wrong tbqh.
At its roots, English is a Germanic language, but lots of words come from French/Latin and Greek.
>>

I do with some friends.
>>
>>60812119
Yes.

It's kind of required nowadays if you want half-decent work.

But don't be too good at speaking it now. Else, other people will apparently think you're too good for them now.
>>
>>60813181
Just the Latin script.

yes,because Iread 4chan.

It was the Portuguese missionaries who went there before the French and brought Latin script iirc

>>60813387

Thanks. You're great too, I would love to visit sometime. I planted eucalyptus trees in my backyard to get a bit of that Aussie feel.

I went in June/July, during the European heat wave. My goodness that was hot. I'll keep that in mind next time I go. Thanks for the tip mijn vriend

I speak English on 4chan, this place is regretably part of my daily life, wish it could be different.
>>
>>60814544

Over here it's only hot a few weeks per year, but when it's hot it's also very humid which makes it unbearable.
>>
>>60814853
When is that? I guess it'd be July/August, right?
>>
>>60814941

Yeah, mostly.
However, this month we also had a lot of rain and a couple of sunny days reaching 28 Celsius which made it very humid. Even the rainy days were 20+C which is pretty uncommon this time of year.

>>
>>60812119
Never.
I can't even remember the last time i did.

I speak more German because i live close to the border.
>>
>>60815227

The east near German border (Gelderland). We have the best weather. Summer temps average 24 C. Mild climate, but not too mild like the west, which has no real summer. It's perfect.
>>
I only speak American
>>
>>60815707
That sounds amazing. I'm from Victoria, where we have four seasons in one day.

I talk to myself in English

>>60816057

>four seasons in one day

Living between the coldest desert (Antarctica) and the second hottest desert in the world will do that I guess.

>>60816134
Yeah, that's true.

If I was an English teacher, I would try to talk to myself in Korean, in order to practice the language.

When playing vidya and when talking to friends.
Of course also when talking to tourist and foreigners.

The daily life of a dane is very americanised, we use tools and shops that has a lot of english words.

Someties I fear that we are a little too english, I hope that people still remember their roots.

I saw it on a couple, though I don't really understand what it was about. Usually it's like "We're very sorry but no foreigners are allowed". Like, fuck, are japanese polite even when they are flat out racist?
>>
>>60826285
You mean, why they have the best manners in real life, or why it reminds me of that comic?
The fact you guys are overly polite is a well known and commonly accepted fact, innit?
Social rules like no loud talking, no phone call in the train, waiting in lines for everything, no food on-the-go, no littering and so on aren't that developped elsewhere. I mean the language itself requires you to be polite to remain socially correct.
>>
>>60825528
Your willingness to cover these things up is disgusting.
