Thread: if you were to learn a language what one would it be?
As an American in a state that borders Mexico, I of course (barely) speak broken Spanish. Always think about how great it would be if I was fluent.
BUT if I were to tackle a new language it would definitely be Japanese. It would be a game changer. Even just being able to watch classic Japanese films without subtitles. Doubt I ever will though.

Probably a coding language, everyone I talk to knows English and I'm not going anywhere
I've been using Duolingo for Spanish for the past 3 years or so. Around last year I started watching Spanish stuff (TV, movies) and I can usually get about a third of what they are saying, enough to understand what's going on. I'm bad with grammar though so past/present/future tense stuff I'm always using the wrong one. I doubt I'll ever speak it fluently though.
I tried Korean earlier this year but Duolingo is terrible and doesn't really explain it at all, so I think I'll have to look online to get a base understanding of sentence structure and what not.
Yiddish would be fun even though completely useless.

i'm seeing you john xina.
i'll content with just english and a bit of japanese to understand my japanese games as a secondary and tertiary languages.
learning, reading and speaking a new language is so cumbersome. i'm too old for this shit.
Japanese for sure. Then I could play all those imports without the need of a translation patch or guide. Also, no more subtitles on my animu.

My wife has imported me to Romania so I definitely need to learn Romanian. I freaking suck at learning languages though, just not how my brain works, way easier to learn C for me 
If that doesn't count, 500+ million people in the world speak Spanish, and once you speak the language the other Latin languages are easier to understand so I guess that.

I've always wanted to become a horse lord and learn Dothraki. Every man dreams of having their own khaleesi, right?
I took French for the bullshit class that I had to take that took up time I could have spent on important subjects in college.
I picked it up strangely easily. I settled for Bs by just not showing up to class and losing 10% of my grade (they grade attendance for the bullshit classes) and then just acing all the homework/exams. If I had given even the tiniest shit about learning French, I'd probably be speaking it fluently today.
And imagine how useful that'd be! I could go to France and go to order something and some snooty frog-faced fuck could just start speaking English out of annoyance because someone dared to speak his previous retard language.

Mandarin Chinese for its usefulness, but man, I am not a fan of how it sounds.
I'd also love to learn German and French and have lightly studied both on and off, but just not enough time to dedicate to it.
