I learned French in school, because we had to learn a second language. I ended up going on a trip to France and trying to use my French, and the response I got 95% of the time was "Your french is terrible, please just speak english." I gave up on it, and haven't spoken it since.

Why don't Americans or parents in general just make their kids learn more languages as a child?

Kids learn shit so easily. My parents put me in an English language playschool without me knowing a word of English and I honestly cannot remember a time when I wasn't able to understand English. Similarly, kids who grow up in bilingual homes basically become fluent in two languages without ever having to study them properly. Sure you might have to "refine" your skills a bit if you want to be able to produce academic-level text but it's not particularly difficult once you have a fluent grasp of the language. I've even known a guy who was fluent in Finnish, Chinese and English by first grade (Chinese immigrant parents, born in Finland, attending English language school). It would take an adult or even teenager years to get fluent in a language, yet children can do it in like 2-3 years and never forget it if they have an opportunity to use the language consistently.

It might be a bit of effort but I really don't get why parents don't "make" their kids bi- or even tri-lingual at a pre-school age? Such a golden opportunity IMO.

Sure.

Like other romance languages, there are grammar situations and other stuff not used in English that could be tricky, like noun genders, more types of verb conjugations, etc. In general it's great language for expression, tho most here would reccommend German for expression before many other languages, and I don't really disagree.

Because English is the lingua franca of the world. All global communication in trade and politics operates in English, all your video games and movies and television shows are in English, the vast majority of international communication on the internet is in English. You would have to be an idiot to not learn it. It helps that English is a relatively simple language.

If English is your first language, there really is no point in learning another language, unless you move to another country.

No seriously, English is ridiculously easy, at least compared to most European languages. I do not know how it goes up against Asian or African languages. If you're really interested read up on French grammar rules, German grammar rules or God forbid Dutch grammar rules. The rules themselves are generally pretty simple but an absolute shit ton of words are 'exceptions' to the rules. To a point where the rules feel almost obsolete. English has a few weird grammar rules, but not even close to as much weird and annoying grammar rules and exceptions as most European languages. I have no clue where your teachers got the idea from English is one of the hardest languages, it's one of the simplest ones I have seen. But most Europeans speak about 3-4 languages (2-3 fluently) so maybe it just comes easier to us.

Its because most western European languages share an alphabet a common root in latin, lots of the words and even some of the grammar and sentence structures are similar, which makes it relatively easy to match patterns from one language to the other if you can correlate the text to some context that you understand, like the pokemon game.

german isn't so good, not maintained since school. was going to improve it, as they needed engineers and tons of cool shit down there... but then they just flooded the country with niggers and shitskins, so I'm staying home

i cheated on all 5 swedish exams in high school, paid a friend to do papers for me, used google translate to make sentences, took a failed grade on almost every courses test just to find out what the exam questions were and wrote them down because the teacher used the same papers every time. probably silent, good corruption because the school staff realizes nobody gives a fuck about the language and the school gets govt money from every graduated student

Don't they often teach the American dialect in Nordic countries?

Or maybe they just want to to speak the language that both parties know the best to optimize the conversational experience for both parties. And maybe Americans are idiots for not agreeing with this option. Just a thought.

tv shows usually are in german here in Germany and i dont get what you mean with "much of the literature you want to read".
It is either your own taste or you live in a country which once was called "the country of poets and thinkers" ;)
>muh proud feelings
>inb4 sucking "refugee" cock
Seriously though...i don't think everyone was learning german back then just because it was the scientific language in the 18th (or 19th century? - cant remember)

>when all the games you play are in English
No? I mean you can play them in english to get better at english but no you dont have to play in english

>when most of the sites you want to visit and videos you want to see online are in English
I disagree again. If you make videos and want a big audience then yes you should make it in english
Also japanese is the second largest internet language - just as an example.


What you say is kinda true but you say it like its literally forced on you and thats not true.
I know tons of young people who speak english so bad that even my grandfather speaks more of it and he never learned it.

It comes from entertainment

Music, Movies, Video games, Tv shows

Literally the best entertainment is made in English. It's like weaboo's who pick up on Japanese, read the visual novels and slowly the language but on a much grander scale.

English is basically the worlds official language.

So far this is the only anon that gets it. I'll explain this the same way I did go the British when I lived there.

In the USA you can go up to 3,000 miles in one direction and about 1,200 in the other direction and everybody still speaks the same language.

In Europe if you do that you've just gone through 30 different countries with 30 different languages.

Learning different languages is for fun in the USA not because it's a need.

Now that i re-read it i think he tried to make fun of the german language.
There is a (german) saying:
"Wie der Vater, so der Sohn."
>Like father, like son.

The female version would be probably, though i never have heard it:
"Wie die Mutter, so die Tochter"
>Like mother, like daughter

The "joke" is that he translates every word literally, making it weird
