I would love to learn something like Mandarin, but I'm a dumb dumb monolingual with caveman brain to learn it (Not stopping me from eventually attempting it >:D)

english is my third lang which I have been learning since my childhood, still don't get it. I wish I could master this lang as my first and second languages, because it has lots of useful informations. the global language though

>>158 Good luck in continuing to master the English language. It was my 2nd language too because I moved to America when I was in middle school. Before that I knew Russian. The best way to learn is just to simply be immersed in it by living in English dominant places, which goes for any language. Enjoy the media with it and such.

Just like every non-English internet user i know my native(Latvian) language and English. Is there even any point to learning another language if i'm not gonna move anywhere?

I wasted my time learning Spanish for years just to somehow know barely any of the language. Now I'm learning Indonesian/Malaysian since they're a lot closer and realistically there's a chance I'll be visiting Malaysia in the future.

Aside from my native language and my parents' language (they're immigrants), I know English (obviously), and I'm learning Japanese.

>>160 I see learning languages as a fun activity. I'd love to learn random languages in my free time. Latvian looks really beautiful written, I'd like to one day have the strength and time to learn it. I guess to most people learning languages can be boring.

I know some Persian and Arabic. I might start Syriac or Greek soon. I tried Japanese and liked it but dropped it because I didn't have the time.

Italian is my mother language and I know english from years of internet usage. Apart from that, I studied spanish in school and know some russian. I'm also trying to learn japanese like everyone else, but at this rate I will be long dead before I manage to formulate a full sentence

>>114 Currently I only know Portuguese (Brazil) and english. I tried Japanese these days but I thought it was overwhelming for a smol brain like me. The good thing about being a native portuguese speaker is that I can understand spanish without much hassle English I literally learnt with Comprehensive Input, simply by watching tons of videos, listening to music and watching TV series. It worked surprisingly well!! I will try this with Japanese, later.

learning Japanese vocabulary is the worst part of learning any language.
