>>76675647
It's pretty ironic you're the one calling me a "salty jungle monkey" when you're the yellow teethed subhuman who doesn't know shit about language learning. Before commenting on a topic make sure you actually know what you're talking about, retard.

that's an english teacher
>>
>>76675751
Posting a smug anime girl won't make your argument any less retarded. Come back to me when you get some experience on language learning.
>>
I don't think the pronunciation is hard at all. If you're talking about why the spelling is so fucked though that's a result of English spelling not being able to catch up with English evolving out of its Germanic roots i.e. the great vowel shift

>>76675924
why do you learn french faggot
You can literally just speak one language your entire life and you chose to speak fucking french
>>
>>76676015
French, German and Spanish are the three main languages taught
Also what's wrong with French?
>>
>>76676033
Why learn french
>>
>>76675924
>>76675967
You act like I didn't have to study French in high school, too. In the end I didn't learn jack shit, because I didn't care about it. Being forced to learn a language by the education system doesn't actually make you fluent at it. You're not an exception.
>>
>>76676015
you have to learn a second language at school
>>76676056
because it's better than spanish/german

this is stupid

>because it's better than spanish/german
spanish is spoken in many more places
german is way more relevant

>You act like I didn't have to study French in high school, too
In what way are we acting like that? You said we had no language learning experience, we proved you wrong.

>>76676056
Cause you're our neighbours
>>
>>76676140
yes it is stupid but it's hardly like we had a choice is it
>>
>>76676147
>Cause you're our neighbours
Do you really think you'll ever have to use it in your entire life?
>>
>>76676147
Knowing how to say a few stock phrases in French isn't language learning experience, bitch. You already fucked up from your first reply, admit that you're wrong before it gets worse.

fuck learning anything besides english tbqh
>>
>>76676230
You're the one who thinks it's possible to speak a foreign language without an accent lmao you clearly have no idea how language acquisition works
>>
>>76676272
The whole reason this retarded discussion started is because you're too dumb to recognise the fact that anyone can speak a language without an obvious accent if they try hard enough. If you're still willing to stand up for that statement then your ignorance is beyond saving.
>>
>>76676344
I'm not the same anon you mug
>>
>>76676336
I could just send you multiple videos of people speaking foreign languages with a perfectly fine accent and your stupid argument would be over. Come up for a better excuse to be retarded.
>>
>>76676390
"Perfectly fine" is not the same as native level proficiency. Sure I hear plenty of Europeans with incredibly good English accents, but there is always a trace of their native phonology if you know what to look for. You will always have an accent unless you're exposed to the language as a child and are bilingual. Learning English as a foreign language means you will always sound foreign. Look up the critical period theory hypothesis of language acquisition
>>
>>76676475
both of you are misunderstanding each other or one of you don't accept the fact that you are wrong. the brazilian guy is saying that it is possible to sound very, very similar to a native speaker even if you still have some mispronunciation while the american guy is saying that no foreigner can speak a language perfectly like a native, even if he sounds very close. you already came to an agreement, stop.
>>
>>76676596
Well this all started because the bong implied you cant speak a foreign language without an accent (which is true) and the hue started sperging so idk
>>
>>76676742
Your reading comprehension is fucking garbage. Kill yourself.
>>
>>76676791
not them but why are you so butthurt my friend?
>>
>>76676791
No need to be mad because your intellectual posturing didn't work out my jungle dwelling friend. But the next time you try to pose as some sort of language aficionado and claim that others "don't know shit about learning languages", you yourself should probably have a basic understanding of the subject of language acquisition.
>>
>>76676967
Maybe next time you try to enter a discussion you should make sure you have at least decent reading comprehension and half of a fly's brain.
