        I’ve always had a thing for languages. I can also understand and read Spanish, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Italian.

        Part of it is just me easily learning new languages. Part of it is travel.

        But also, Dutch school system has a big focus on German and some focus on French as they are big trading partners and many business opportunities come frome these countries. So besides mandatory English for six years you also get mandatory French and German for two and an optional extra four years if you want to. I chose to learn German and drop French but ever since I moved to Belgium two years ago I picked up French again. I now am the go to guy for German speaking people at my place of work and half the country speaks French so I use it a lot as well.

    Mandarin because if I ever get a real chance I’d do whatever I could to try and move to China and get out of the cesspit that is the West.

        Wie läuft es bisher?

        Es ist erst ein Monat vergangen, ich weiß nichts

        Und warum Deutsch?

        To prepare for Russian, and later Mandarin

        Klingt nach einer interessanten Kombination mit Englisch und Portugiesisch lol

        The more the merrier! To know a language is to know a whole universe. If you know French, you may have more access to literature and information on several African countries, and you’ll have even deeper information if you know Swahili

    Indonesian, which is actually close to my native language Tagalog. Which means I’m already bilingual lol.

        From what I know, pinyin is pretty standard for input nowadays so you don’t need a special keyboard. With pinyin you also don’t have to remember how to draw the characters. However, even just learning to recognize the characters takes some time. I find it’s a lot more challenging than other languages I’ve tried learning.

    I speak Polish, German and English. Languages that I may want to learn in the future include Russian, Mandarin, Swedish and Spanish. I will probably learn Spanish for school, I have the choice between Latin, French (🤮) and Spanish. Wish I could learn Russian instead but I would have to go to another, more expensive school.

    I read/speak English/Spanish fluently, one of my goals this year is to start with either Chinese or Arabic.
