What's the point of learning other languages when you already

>>78051583
To read the literature of other languages and speak the lingua francas of various regions you b*lingual dummy.

knowing 2 indoeuropean languages hardly counts as knowing 2 languages

>>78051626
Then it's just spanish, chinese and arabic.

>>78051802
If you're referring to my lingua franca statement, it's Spanish, Russian, Mandarin, Urdu/Hindi, Arabic, and sort of German. And if you're referring to my literature statement, that applies to almost all languages.

>German
The EU speaks english

>literature
Almost all interesting books are translated in english, so what's the point?

>>78051647
That doesn't answer my question

>>78051897
You're just being stubborn. Learn the other 6 languages I listed then. And not every book is translated to English, and furthermore you can't always appreciate a book unless you read it in its original language.

You don't even deserve a (You) or a bump for that, there's a reason why people study the Quran in Arabic and the original Bible scriptures in Aramaic and original Latin scriptures in Latin. But there's mo reason to reason with you clearly. Carry on with you're two languages and just being plain dumb and jaded.

This, and particularly in front of your significant other who has no clue of what you're saying.

>implying french isn't useless nowadays

The only somewhat useful Romance language nowadays is Spanish and, maybe, just maybe, Portuguese.

Also, knowing English can't even be considered that much of an achievement, knowing the International language should a priori be one of your basic skills

I didn't say it was useful

What if English is my mother tongue?!

wish i spent more time learning french and german back in elementary and high school. i could be reading kant or rousseau in german and french. a book is always best in its original language, translations often are not that good.

Oh, sorry then, I thought by context that was the case.
Well. it's a nice language, especially if you're fine with France and want to live there.

Speaking two Indo-European languages does not mean he is a bilingual

>>78056620
Yet these languages aren't mutually intelligible, I understand if the case was Catalan and Spanish, or Czech and Polish, but it's French and English. Anglos can't understand spoken French and barely understand it written, so I wouldn't say these two don't give you "bilingual points"
