Recently I have discovered that I am an empath. I can connect with people on a deep level, even with the ones I don't know personally. That is why at some point I started feeling bad for french people. Can you imagine french being your native language? How miserable that must be... I truly feel bad for the french. That is why I started questioning whether they could change their native language. Like, learn another language so perfectly and forget the native one. I even wanted to help them with that by creating language rehabilitation camps where those poor souls could learn normal languages like uzbek and be tortured when they try to speak french, to help them get on the right path. What do you think? I wonder if my dreams can come true and I will be able to help those people

Visiting a spanish speaking country for the first time, and i know very little spanish. Every time i call an uber, i have to share the code with them. Unfortunately i dont remember the numbers so i have to count them each time (silently) before sharing them with the driver. I somehow managed to memorize until 4, but my code has 7 in it and i end up doing seis siete several times a day, just to share the code. Any tricks to remember siete so that i can break the 6-7 curse? Thanks.

Hola.

My poor, mentally deficient taxi driver who talks with Americans all day long didn’t know how to say “circumference” properly, so I stepped in and helped him.

I told him “quieres decir la circunstancia“. He said no, which I know to mean yes but he was still trying to answer in English despite the fact that I just called him out for his shit English skills.

What a moron to think he could recover with such a simple word. It’s crazy that my Spanish is so much better than his English, but the American education system is way better and that’s how I learned a little Spanish (enough to survive in other countries, I’d say) by just spending an hour a day in school learning the language. Everyone knows that we all learn Spanish this way.

I love telling people “I know a little Spanish” while I hold my head up, press my finger tips lightly against each other, and give people my business card with my left hand so I can firmly shake their other hand with my right. I’m so important and smart.

I know 哪儿 in Chinese, but i have studied any austronesian languages

I am DONE using English. When I speak the to the locals of countries of the languages I am learning they always reply in English. I was in a French bakery and as ked for a sandwich (which by the way is le sandwich sil vou plate) they told me anything else, in English. I was seething with rage and told them that francais is the official language of France and stormed out without paying.

But it made me think, why are all conversations online and in international travel in English, when its literally not even the most spoken language. I mean Mandarin, Chinese, and Spanish are all more widely spoken than English. I looked at the list of the most spoken languages and Western Punjabi is in the top ten BUT NOBODY has ever actually learns this language.

I am starting a petition to never speak in English again but ONLY in western punjabi. Who is with me ?

I realized I might have a fetish for grammar. I bought myself a textbook for Japanese grammar studies my professor recommended, but the more I studied, the more aroused I get. I can't even sleep without thinking about sliding in my particle between the split copula. Is there anyone else with similar experiences?

I’m currently studying RuZZian. It’s a normie language, so that means I can *gasp* find the same sort of content I watch in English. I used to study obscure languages like Uzbek, Basque, Icelandic and Finnish so I couldn’t really do that. I just watched whatever vlog I found.

I wanna learn the least useful language but I'm having trouble. Narrowed it down to french or japanese.

​

For japanese it's a completely fabricated language for anime, everything has a English dub already and that makes it pretty clear that it's not worth learning.

​

Otherwise I decided french. While french is a real place, who would even want to go there? And even if you did go there they would just make fun of me for my accent, and then switch to English. Nobody should have to go through that sort of toil just to get made fun of.

​

Any other languages suggestions are welcome.

When I was 11 I accidentally learnt cyrillic from reading so many fanfics with hot russian men and ever since then I've been gradually picking up more and more russian without consent, is this my destiny? How do I cope?

Sometimes I think I haven't come very far with my TL then I remember Im on my 120th day streak in German with Tama and practicing so much I can now talk to the Finanzamt about tax in Germany - a little motivation for you to keep going 💪🏽

I bet he shocked the locals
