I can't decide is the main problem

Do you know what language you want to learn? I believe there is a guide made my /int/ users that may help you if you don't.

>>77543745
do you have some finalists?

>>77543745
>I can't decide is the main problem

You could just get your feet wet for a while in one or another language, just flip a coin. One or two lost weeks are nothing compared to the years you might spend studying a particular language. Do one or two weeks in Spanish then in French or whatever you are considering an then decide.

>started learning Japanese
>realize it's a useless language to learn for any practical use and that it's socially unacceptable to say you are learning it

>>77543778
French is the leader but there are some meme languages I like too such as Norwegian and Hebrew

>>77543745
Start off with French or German.

>>77543939
Just do French, man. It's a little bit strange because of all the silent letters but if that doesn't bother you then it's as good a place to start as any, and it's a good language that's widely spoken in the first world.

>>77543571
Why learn a second language when you can just conquer the world and make it learn English.

>>77543939
So try to learn french, don't wait too much. But french is a bit difficult and I recommand you to better learn Spanish if you want to try some romance language. Or esperanto. Because it's too easy.

>>77544096
True. Esperanto was made to be very simple.

>>77543933
A language is only as useful as you personally decide it to be. If you never plan to leave your room then neither language will be useful to you. You have to stop being passive and consciously decide 'yes, I'm going to use this language for this reason.' be it media, travelling meeting the people of the affiliated culture or some very obscure shit.

For example, right now I'm studying French and I decided that last year, this year and during the next year I will almost exclusively travel to Francophone countries. I might do an erasmus semester in France in the future. I watching French documentaries on arte, etc.

>it's socially unacceptable to say you are learning it
Who gives a shit? The overwhelming majority of people agrees that being able to speak another language would be a goal or a cool thing but most people also give up when they realize that a little bit of effort is needed. People always expect that language study needs to have some fuzzy return of usefulness. Strangely, there are a lot of other perfectly acceptable hobbies that could be considered way less useful than language study, I mean at it has potentially a certain value. Compare it to playing an instrument, or sewing or knitting. Rarely people doing these will become professional sewers, knitters or even musicians but for some reason language skills are automatically expected to give a professional pay-off in some way.

>>77544096
I agree Spanish is easier than French, but not by much. If French appeals to OP more than Spanish does, he shouldn't hesitate to study French first IMO. It was my first foreign language back in high school. Pronouncing things is tough, as is listening comprehension, but the rules are easy enough.

I don't like the way Spanish sounds sorry, I know it's more useful to me but I don't care

Traveling to Japan costs too much and I hate traveling anyways

just learn the language of the biggest or favorite immigrant demographic of your location

>>77544316
Hey, I'm not a Romance language native like you.

I thought about doing C1 straight away but I'm pussying out due to the writing part and for fear of barely faling and wasting my money(>100€ per exam)

B2 is already useful and if I'm doing well on it I might do C1 later.

>>77544380
It's okay man, just do French. Go to Duolingo, right now, and start the first exercise. I'm too lazy to find a pic of Shia LaBoeuf but JUST DO IT!

If you decide to learn Spanish later, it'll be easier if you've already studied French, or vise versa. Grammar and syntax are quite similar and there's a decent bit of common vocabulary as well.

I hate those jerks who only think about making money.

>>77544738
No, somewhere irrelevant in the Midwest, but we have a shit ton of Indians, so much so that there's an embassy for them here. They're all very friendly imo

>>77544380
So learn french, it's not that different from english instead of pronounciation wich can be hard for an englishspeaker.

>>77543571
Just start Spanish or French on duolinguo, the only person stopping you from doing it is you

>>77544682
I'm sure you do....you fucking leaf cuck.

>>77543745
Spanish
LOS

Okay OP. Have you started your French Duolingo yet? Or did you start this thread just to bitch, with no intention to actually start learning?

I'm doing memrise but yes I did the first lesson so far

>>77545850
Duolingo is a lot better imo but either way, good job. I think you'll enjoy it.

>>77545850
Duolingo is better it has grammar explanations

French is a great language, stick with it there are so many great French books and films. Don't learn meme languages they won't motivate you enough

Learn German if you wanna sound like a REAL man. Otherwise go for French :^)

I tried learning a second language, but i was literally too retarded to actually learn it

I started learning a third

I'm on the same boat Luis. The problem here is that I can speak one romance language and a germanic language but the rest are uninteresting to me except for Romanian and Dutch, which are pretty fucking useless to be honest.
The only option for me is to learn either Russian or Japanese which are by themselves pretty fucking hard and different from the two languages that I can speak already.

>>77543599
>>77543745

French or German.

>>77543571
Learn Norwegian because it sounds cool.
