Why did you start learning English?

>>79161860
idk for some reason they were teaching it in school

I never started

needed it to communicate

>>79161860
eerily young lookin barb

>>79161860
It was forced on me in school

>>79161896

That's cool that you learn english in school though, do you also learn arabic?

>>79161896

>>79162037

>>79161860

>>79162420
Why did you learn english?
I think westerners are genuinely interested in why people who are exotic to us do things like learn a new language.

>>79162541
erdoggo wants to arabize people so he pushed for elective arabic lectures in high schools but there arent any arabic teachers in turkey so no one is able to take such classes.

To shitpost on /int/

>>79162541

it's not the fucking 19th century. everyone is the world has english everywhere, and even with the new fags, most of the people in 4chan are basement dwelling neckbeards so they played videogames and watched movies and fansubbed animes, so they eventually learnt english.

also, I'm going to bet that all developed countries have english in school, so if you grab all the pre-teen nerds and throw them into the school they most of the time perfecting or just learning technicalities instead of really learning the language from scratch.

>>79161860
Because your fucking country pooped all over the world

>>79162705
Oh wow that's very frightening, do you still know portuguese well?
What happens when everybody speaks english? What's the point of having different languages if it takes a lot of time and effort to teach?
>>79162623
I remember seeing a turkish anon on /mu/ tell me that the turkish people are very proud of their culture, do you think erdogan could ever succeed with his plans?
How compatible do turks see their culture and arts with arabs? Does erdogan just want to do it because of islam? Or political purposes?

Everyone one on 4chan who speaks English without a uk, American or Aussie/nz or Canadian flag

Is a proxy or one of those 5 on holiday

The school meme isn't real

I wasn't forfed to learn German and French in school and I didn't retain a single bit of it

>>79162822
what the fuck.

we speak in portuguese and have portuguese media and portuguese subtitles (we aren't like fucking spaniards and the french who dub every single shit and for movies you have to go to a seperate session if you want the proper language).

>>79162938
THIS
I learnt japanese in primary school, high school and first year uni and all I can do is read hiragana/katakana/~100 kanji and that's it.
I seriously don't understand why non english speakers are so good with language acquisition.

Come on, son. English isn't a particularly hard language to learn (at least for non-verbal communication).
>>79162973
Literally every country offers separate subbed/dubbed sessions, what are you talking about?

>>79163036
>t. Bong on holiday

>>79163002
It's because they aren't
It takes years of dedication and practice for work reasons

No one would learn it to use it on 4chan

>>79163116
no, they don't, except in children's movies.

>>79163116
>t. American on holiday

>>79161860
My father had this old English dictionary, so when I was a kid I started to look into it out of curiosity.

>>79163152
Being exposed to it is enough to be able to communicate, at least non verbally

>>79161860
We're taught the language as soon as we start school. You might have an idea why.

>>79161860
Didn't want to wait for the Harry Potter books to be translated in French

>>79161860

Knowing the language of your enemies is always useful.

I remember learning words on my own before I was old enough to go to school, after that it was obviously English classes. My mum got me a computer when I was 8, and I started playing lots of video games then, so I picked up a lot from that, especially from games like Morrowind and Gothic series. When I was 14 or 15 I started reading books in English, so that solidified my grasp of the language.

>>79163509
Oh shit tunisia is francophone right?
So awesome and interesting, do personally you feel any connection to the language/france itself?

>>79163669
Imagine that we're fed French media as much as you are fed American ones, should give you an idea.

Also we study "scientific" subjects in French starting high school and everything at uni

>>79163687
>France
>anglo'd

lmoa

>>79163755
Oh wow I thought tunisia being arab would be too conservative for french media?
Do you have old hardcore muslims decrying french media as being degenerate/corrupting?
Do you eat french food at all?

In school they teach it.

>>79163775

he says, speaking English, fully cognisant of the fact that no one speaks French.

Mainly because of memes

>>79163890
Wouldn't you have tons of memes from south america + spain though?
More than english I'd imagine?

>>79163374
I like Malta

>>79163909
south american memes are the dankest.

>>79163834
Nah, our governments always were pro French and we have good relationship with France.

Most people who are annoyed by it are just people screaming muh colonialism but they're a very tiny minority, our islamistes are too busy with our own degeneracy to care about that.

As for French food, not really, we'd be closer to Italians it that regard (pasta every fucking day)

>>79161860
I don't know listening to music I guess??

I love music and 90% of the stuff I listen to is in English so slowly some words were staying in my head.

Then I started to watch movies in their original language no subs, I believe that's what has helped me the most.

No teachers or school, here english teachers are the worst shit you could imagine desu.

>>79162822
turks arent compatible with arabs at all. majority of turks both in rural and city really dont like arabs in general, especially syrians.

turks have a little bit hard on for only Palestinians among all arabs. its true that common turk is extremely proud of his culture and its not limited to ottomans but also expands to seljuks and goktürk khaganate and even huns and atilla. erdoggo is actually an islamist but lately its not working as it used to as a populist propoganda tool so he calmed down on the islam thing and started to go for a bit more nationalistic way. like 2 weeks ago we celebrated the 900th something year of Battle of Manzikert for the first time in erdoggo's reign past 15 years. though erdoggo is an opportunist, he will do anything to get votes.

Nice one.

7th grade you start learning english, that was when I was going to school.

Today it's the 3rd grade.

Learned it in school and played a lot of video games/watched series in English. It just came naturally like for many Norwegians.

>>79167626
The Germans are watching Russian porn, the Russians are watching German porn.

Always it was.

>>79161860
When I was 9 years old, my parents forced me to start going to English classes on Saturdays (I didn't live in Canada at the time). I remember grumbling about it every Saturday, telling them that I really didn't want to go. They did it because of future better job opportunities; little did we know we'd move to Canada seven years later.

Japanese is one of the hardest languages to learn.

English is one of the easiest.

Japanese will rarely be used by an average person beyond work and business travels or the most dedicated weaboo.

English is the lingua fraca of the world.

You have to actively seek out Japanese sources to find the langauge being used.

English is used in nearly everything on this planet.

Draw your own conclusions

It just came naturally... All movies and video games are in English, so you just end up learning it. When I was really young and came across an English word I didn't understand, I'd ask my parents... and when I got older I started looking up the translations online instead.

>>79161860
all the other cool kids were doing it
literally, in the town i lived in all the mothers would compete over their kids so they would force us to excel at extracurricular shit: guitar, piano, swimming, taekwondo, and yeah foreign languages

You merely adopted the English. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see shitspeak until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but babbling

>>79161860
I didn’t have a choice, it was forced into my brain i spent countless hours playing games in english, watching movies/shows in english and reading online stuff since i was a kid.
