What language are you learning and why? I'm learning Japanese because I like the language, culture, and entertainment/media.

Being able to understand Japanese erotic porn is an important ability to have as well.

I'm learning Chinese because I'm autistic.

>>74820059
I studied Mandarin for a few years, and decided to take a break from it because Chinese media is dumb and there's nothing worthwhile in Chinese to practice with.

I've switched to Japanese since then, and I've been making decent progress. Good thing that studying all those Hanzi didn't go to waste.

I had "erotic doujinshi" in mind

How do you even manage to post here, given that Google Captchas are blocked in China, and most VPNs are blocked by 4chan?

I'm learning English cuz it's cool and amazing language which give you an opportunity to consume tons of quality content. Plus English is a modern Lingua Franka.
My goal is C2 or even native speaker level of proficiency.
>>
>>74820059
I got pretty far in Japanese but ended up switching to Chinese because I just wanted to draw hanzi. I'm trying not to worry about practicality and just have fun but the fact that Chinese is so much more practical than Japanese doesn't hurt.
>>
>>74820647
C2? How does English proficiency get graded? I guess as a native I've never looked into it.

Farsi. I'm a bit of a persia/iranboo. Also going to Iran next year and want to be able to do at least basic talking with people.

French because it's a beautiful language and I want to visit France one day. Same with Italian.

I'm highly fluent in English, and confident enough to take TOEFL and get a high score. (Though I'd prefer a better certification like Cambridge.)
I plan on becoming an English teacher in the future, as well as Spanish.

I'm learning Japanese, too. Just a beginner for now, though.
I might, just might, learn a 4th language in the future, after I'm done with Japanese, and only if I have time. But for now, I'm good.
>>
Putting good effort:
* Spanish, obvious benefits for where I live

Putting casual effort:
* Japanese, fascinated by the culture in general
* Mandarin, might be as important as Spanish in large sections of SoCal one of these days
* Arabic, I started learning this a few years ago and I feel compelled to make some progress still
* French, thanks to knowledge in Spanish I've learned basic reading proficiency with comparatively little work

Just public VPNs. You can get a $5/month Linode and set up an OpenVPN server on that.
>>
>>74820059
I'm learning Japanese too, I've tried learning many languages in the past but since I didn't really have anything to use it on I ended up quitting. With Japanese I at least have the media to fall back on if I never get the opportunity to visit there.

My native language is Spanish, and I know a bit of French. I'd also say my English is nice but I don't want to overestimate myself.

Japanese, at first because I was foolish, and currently because I invested too much time and it'd be a waste to stop.

Reading untranslated porn is fun but learning German/Russian would be more productive.

Chinese is nice but I'm kind of in doubt about the people desu

Been relearning German, I did it at GCSE but I'd like to get to grips with it on my own terms, it's been 8 years since I learned it and I've been quite consistent these past few months.

I quite like Germany, I quite like Europe, and I felt like I'd be better off learning a language that I have some grounding in rather than starting on another one. So once I'm at a proficient level I'll probably move on to another language. My list of languages I would like to learn is pretty ambitious, it includes Japanese, Arabic, Farsi and Tagalog.
>>
French. Many countries have French as an official language so I would be able to live there. I also learn about French culture and a bit of their history as well.
>>
>>74820059
Danish.
Because my family is from Denmark.
>>
Is it correct to say "I was wondering if is it possible to do this?"?
>>
>>74828880
>Many countries have French as an official language so I would be able to live there.

I don't know if this question makes sense. So considering that like half of Africa speaks French does it feel to you like a relevant or sought after language for business and political reasons? Or is francophone Africa too distant?
>>
>>74829435
Yes
>>
I tried to learn mandarin but it was too tough so I settled in learning the pleb chinese which is japanese.
>>
Learning french and japanese, the former because of the literature and the latter because of the culture.

After that I plan to learn russian to be able to read the great russian literature in the original and latin to study the great theological works.

Patrician here.
