Why would anyone learn Hindi? English is the language of business in Pajeetland.

>>70352414
>mandarin
>b-but china is MOST SPOKEN language in the world

newsflash, m8: there are a lot of fucking people in china, that's why lots of people speak it, you make it sound like they're gonna take over the world or something. By that logic I might as well start learning Russian.

Chinese people are the majority ethnicity on earth. If a non-Chinese speaks mandarin, they treat you like GOD

Why Mandarin last? Yeah, they've got many people, but most of them aren't worth talking to, and you really don't want to be dealing with Chinese.

Wrong. But even if that were remotely true, there is no practical reason to learn it because regardless of their mother tongue,Pajeets use English when conducting business.

Top Tier for Westerners NOT inc English

French/Spanish/German

(Depends on if you are an American in which case Spanish or if you are European in which case French or German)

-
These languages for westerners are objectively the most powerful in terms of usefulness versus difficulty. There is no debate here.
-

Others, smart choices. More difficult than the above

Russian - If you like Russian stuff sorta good.
Japanese - If you are a weeb or think Japan is cool
Italian - Nice place

Meme Choices

Mandarin - China meme and idiots who think language learning is based around "business worth"
Portuguese - Just move to Brazil idiot if you think its so cool

Idiotic Choices.

Arabic - don't need to explain
Hindi - people who think indians don't just speak english


TLDR, Objective power list

1-2) Spanish/French
3) Mandarin
4,5,6) Russian, German, Japanese
7) Portuguese

if you study some latin, the romance languages will make much more sense and might be considerably easier. on the other hand, french has the "most different" pronunciation of romance languages so keep that in mind
just like nowadays a lot refuse to speak english, back in the roman conquest a lot of them refused to speak correct latin and used gaellic sounds innit, thats how the french pronunciation was originated

Why would you learn Portuguese AND Spanish?

They are useful in the exact same circumstances, but there are more Spanish speakers and it is a simpler language to speak.

If you learn Portuguese you can pretty much half-ass a Spanish sentence.

The main reason to learn Portuguese would be to study our literature and poetry, which is frankly quite amazing and unnoticed.

>>70358106
I've known Spanish from an early age (mom is from Peru) so picking up Portuguese was easy as fuck. Doesn't hurt to know both, especially if you want some Brazilian diaspora bunda here in the US

Keep in mind that a Finn would more likely learn Euro PT than Brazilian PT.

Which might actually be easier for them, a fair few phonemes are similar.3

>>70354906
>back in the roman conquest a lot of them refused to speak correct latin and used gaellic sounds innit, thats how the french pronunciation was originated
Some differences between French and the other Romance languages (like ca>che) are due to the Franks, not the Gauls. But most are far more recent, such as the diphthongs (for example "roi" in 1100 still sounded like in Spanish, with /oi/ instead of /wa/) and the "throat R" (1800?).

apparently indonesian is a very easy language to learn, there's 250 million of them

Learning languages from other countries that are less friendly to whites is a bad move. It might cause you to believe you can travel there without getting raped to death.

>>70354644
why german? I don't get (there are only 90mil native speakers)

Is there any reason to learn Cantonese? I notice everyone chooses Mandarin for Chinese.

They have some of the best engineers there

>>70352414
If you already speak English the next language becomes more a matter of where do you want to travel extensively or live, as immersing yourself in that culture is pretty much the point.

Spanish would be the better choice for someone in the West as having the second largest number of ative speakers in the world, covering a large area and arguably being the second most useful in the US labor market which someone career minded would consider. French is close or about the same in terms of usefulness and after that German although very distant, and after that close or about the same Portuguese and Italian.

Why not Mandarin, Russian or Arabic? Only if you plan to live in those countries or are making a career out of dealing primarily with people from those cultures/regions.

If you plan to profit as an actual translator then it's about choosing a language that has demand and pays well, Japanese would be a good choice in that respect provided you[re also willing to learn the ettiquete and immerse in that culture, it's high investment tho so you need to be committed.

Lots of good reads in German scientific/observations essays
Arthur Schopenhauer is an easy example

Why learn a language to read books when you can find translations? If you experience something in the original language you experience that movie/book or whatever in the original vision the author intended, also you can't translate cultural expressions, sayings or intonations

>>70354072
Why Irish ? totally irrelevant

1. Spanish (because it's easier for me to pick up)
2. Japanese (technical manuals / tourist guides in japan)
3. German (also technical manuals)
4. Mandarin (Business)

Mandarin is more important than everything except English. Japanese is completely useless as is French, how do you justify them?

>>70359043
It depends on your reason for learning said language. The german speaking world has a rich literary and philosophical tradition

>>70352414
literally none outside of English, lads

>>70358238
CHI

>>70366569
The Chinese live in a cultural bubble on the other side of the world. Unless you have business dealings with them or want to go there then Mandarin is useless. Even if China continues growing economically the West will still be Indo-European territory. There's too much cultural and historical inertia there for the chinks to make any impact for the time being.

I would go with Spanish before Mandarin.

>Esperanto
why? nobody speaks it natively and only 1000 or less even bothered to learn it
>French
why? even if you learn it you'll just end up sounding like a retard and French faggots will simply scold you for committing the tiniest mistakes and they'll know your foreign simply cause you'll have that shitty accent for life
>Maori
an actual good choice, especially if you like the sea and being badass
>English
another meme language, not even the 2nd most spoken language natively
>Swedish
why? most cucks learn Finnish at school and that's the main language spoken in europe, rendering every other European language useless. which leads me to:
>Finnish
this right here is the only language you have to learn, a Finn can live his entire life traveling around the world without uttering a single non Finnish word, and yet most of them know at least 6 languages by the time they're 15 since they are so intellectual, they truly are the master race, also you can read and understand every single meme in this amazing language.
anyway, let's keep going
>german
this is not even a language, idk why people think German is a language, German is more of a subgenre of indie rock, alternative rock, and neo-psychedelia that emerged in the United Kingdom in the late 1980s. The style is typified by the blurring of component musical parts—typically significant guitar distortion, feedback, and obscured vocals—into indistinguishable mixture of sound.
>shoegaze
another useless fucking Europoor language, this one actually has 90 mil native speakers so it's kinda good for poetry and stuff but not much of value is added communication wise
>spanish
only good if your gonna order a lot of foreign food from places that speak it like India, or China. this is by far the most spoken language in the united States so it's very useful for speaking with people in the united States

1. Maltese
2. Cherokee

Romanian is one of the most if not the most beautiful language I've ever heard.

It depends on what you want to achieve by learning a language. If you're interested in Basque culture and would like to live there some day, then Basque would be more useful for you than French or Spanish.

arabic
mandarin

speaking any of the top 3 (especially spanish) and fluent english is a very big advantage when applying for jobs in america, assuming you have another specialty of course

If you want to travel to certain areas in the US there is a reason to. Otherwise even without a reason it would still be easier than French or German because of the closeness of Spanish speakers for most Americans.

Still the easiest language to learn is the one you actually want to learn in my opinion, difficulty only matters if there's two languages someone wants to learn equally, they should do the easier one first.

Only 12% of them speak it, same goes for Pakistan

>>70354644

I really don't see how hindi is much more of a meme than the others really.

Indians don't speak English better than Italians, it still allows you to connect with a big part of the population that hasn't been educated enough to master English well. + you get to consume media in its original language which is a good incentive to learn any language.

If you shouldn't learn a language because the rather educated portion of the population speaks it then there would be no reason to learn any European language whatsoever except for French cause French people are retarded with languages, but I digress.
