Yeah, everything is accurately translated to their language there is not a single loss of cultural aspects or information haha. Hence why we should do like Brave New World and make all languages but English extinct

>>75433363

yeah... i agree... it is painful and boring learning other languages
i know the retarded version of Portuguese and English
and now, i'm learning French - i don't know why
by the way, fuck your grammar - why so hard?

>>75437451
Yeah, I know you have been fooled all around. I mean most anglos think that by knowing english they know everything since they have access to it, but in the end you guys just get a scraped superficial rendition of it

>>75432836
I've studied several other languages and I did well at all of them. The problem for us in America is that since nobody around us speaks other languages (except maybe Spanish, but many of us are not around Spanish speakers either) it's just hard to stay in practice. The "American education" meme is not entirely without a solid foundation, but the geography and demographics of Europe lend itself a lot better to its citizens being multilingual.

>>75437033
The subtitles for City of God fucking suck dude, watching it as a portuguese speaker is way better than reading them. You miss out on so many slang, jokes, references, so much content you will never appreciate

2bqf, England does the same, it's just that you guys think in practical terms and not really in knowledge or cultural terms, most protestant countries think this way. Hence why most of you use this excuse of "why should I learn a new language". Catholic countries usually value experience over practicality hence the difference

That's where you're wrong

>not enjoying a great movie because the story is about crime and gang wars
Does the violence hurts your feelings?

I already know spanish, english, japanese. What other language should i learn now?

I was interested in french or german but they will soon be dead tongues so there's no point.

>>75437784
Well I need to lower down to your level so you can understand, but yeah I could always talk in portuguese when I want
>>75437847

There's plenty of people in Africa that will keep French alive.

>>75437909
do french if you like beautiful literature and poetry and modernist/postmod + renaissance philosophy
do german if you like realist literature and hardcore philosophy that changed the status quo forever

>>75437909
>they will soon be dead tongues so there's no point.
People will always study them for literature. they might becom dead like Ancient greek and latin not dead like Irish and Welsh

>他不会说汉语
呵呵呵。 在大学我学习汉语,和明年我学习汉语和德语或者法语。

Jokes aside, people rarely know second languages because most of the time the language tuition you receive in school is shit compared to the rest of the world unless you go to a school that specialises in languages, or they just went to a REALLY good (private or grammar) school. The reason language tuition in your average English school is shit is because there really isn't any need to learn anything besides English in a world where anyone worth doing business with knows English at a good enough level to conduct business in.

I'm learning French and I post on /fr/ very occasionally

>>75441392
French is a really cool language but all of the different identical sounds made it really hard for me. I took three years in high school and made great grades. I was at the point where my reading and writing was kind of almost fluent, but the speaking and listening was always very hard for me for that reason. Too many silent letters and shit.

I know Latin and Spanish.

Would like to hop into the world of France but their grammar scares me.

>>75441474
I've just really had trouble with when to use the subjontif it being something we don't have in English but other than that I'm nearly fluent at this point

I only vaguely remember that one. Like I remember it being "a thing" but it's been a very long time. All of a sudden I sort of want to get on Duolingo and brush up on my French.

>>75441673
Basically after "que" in certain phrases you have to conjugate the verb differently like "Il faut que", "Je pense que", etc

I am though

>>75441743
Yeah that does kinda ring a bell... Do you have any particular plans to use your French, out of curiosity? For travel, business/work in the future, whatever? I'd fucking love to have work over there. It's a great cunt and a lovely people, France-hate memes notwithstanding.

>>75432836
You're addicted to refreshing pages full of disgusting, socially unacceptable, mentally unstable, repetitive nonsense. You're probably also addicted to porn.

You're compensating for your inability to be happy and fulfilled in real life. You're just too fucking stupid to understand that. Which is probably because of your African genes. Which is fine. I will refrain from judging you. Live your silly monkey life, my little monkey. Go, be free.

>>75442130
I dunno I am visiting France this summer but I just have a real love for the language

French is one of the more babby-tier languages. One of the easiest for English speakers to learn.

>>75442167
Fuck yeah man, where are you going? Make sure you get out of Paris. Paris is cool and you should see it too, but don't let it be your only impression of the country.
>>75442178
I disagree. I've taken French, Spanish, German, and Japanese, and I've fucked around with Norwegian on Duolingo, and I think French was harder than any of them with the exception of Japanese. And Japanese was only really so hard because of the moon runes and general lack of cognates. It's a really simple and pragmatic language aside from that. Which others have you studied?

>>75442321
I'll only have the chance to see Paris for this trip because I'm going to a couple other countries in Europe but I also wanna see Nice and Lyon in the future

>LONDON, June 25— Peter Singh, an Indian whose Sikh religion requires him to wear a turban, recalled how Elvis Presley came to him in a dream in 1980 to say, ''You're the next one.''
>Mr. Singh has also composed ''Turbans Over Memphis,'' ''Rocking With the Sikh,'' ''My Popadum Told Me,'' ''Who's Sari Now?'' and the memorable ''Elvis, I'm on the Phone.''

Yeah, if you're into /lit/erature, learning several languages is a must. Mainly just German and French (in addition to English). But also lots of old/dead languages and plenty of others. For example, Japanese is needed if you want to get into the heart of Japanese literature (you won't find proper translations of most things and you properly grasp the weight and meaning of anything by reading a translation).

Otherwise you're reading from the narrow lens of English and you will never truly appreciate the real value of given literary works, or the culture that underpins them.
