Je puis parler Francais aussi, mais ca fait longtemps depuis j'ai eu la chance pour bien practiquer.

I can't spell in French to save my life

But I can speak it well, I lived in Montreal for a while when I was a kid

@Alexander Pechorin too bad there aren't a lot of maoists among them

Geez all these polyglots

I took years of French

can't speak it for shit

@Grossly Incandescent you're in deep autism territory friend

To hablo español

@Jacob A lot of language pedagogy in the US is just terrible

Goddamn

LOPF 2019 will be held entirely in reconstructed Proto-Indo-European

Right?

YES

Obvi

Can confirm

ya it's pretty bad

Are you even white if you can't speak Sindarin?

I’m pretty good at Spanish, just because I loved the idea of learning a second language as a kid and it was kind of the default in the US. I’ve learned some Latin, German, and Greek for fun more recently.

you'll never learn by filling in blanks

you have to learn to think in sentences

Cratos, Reks!

That's why even Duolingo is better than the crap they use in school

Took three years of Spanish in high school and learned a little, then I moved to California and learned a lot

@Jacob you don't learn if you don't practice! Also 1000000000% of American foreign language education is learning vocabulary words and never really stringing thoughts together

Duolingo is actually a pretty decent resource to get familiar with sentence structure and vocabulary.

it's much more important to know how to make a sentence than knowing how to say "ostrich" in spanish

Yeah, exactly.

Ostricho

probably not even wrong

Lol

ya I agree with all that

@YourFundamentalTheorum Unfortunately you are right. I think at some point they will eclipse the Jews in cultural power. We often forget their ascendancy.

the only word I know in Polish is usta

Because of veggie tales

The Vietnamese guy who runs our machine shop said the Chinese are taking over Vietnam by offering people free power, water and cellular in exchange for speaking Chinese instead of Vietnamese

I know a few words for miscellaneous objects in Polish, just from a grandfather who would slip in and out of using it.

@ophiuchus Dzien dobry
