Third Language Woes

[Firmador]

Delu, you're Swedish! Tell me more!

And you're right, they do speak English ubiquitously in Sweden. It's just... coffee culture is so attractive.

I guess I should pick German, but French is so lovely :'(.

Gigaverse where do you go for practice/beginning?

Dictionary. All Dictionary and a little bit of interest with the suddenly-awesome-just-add-Nazis language got me do it.

The same motivation applied for the Russians got me able to decipher 75% of the Cyrillic alphabet on my own.

All dictionary?

That seems counter-productive imo. You never used the Idiot or CliffNotes language books? I remember when I was like 12 scanning a German one, all I remember is Der and Die, lol. (And the whole, two words make one thing isa p. awesome construction)

don't learn a language based on women and tits.

Why don't you just get the fuck out, you're not being helpful, most others are.

Well, half of Africa uses French... And most of it is still open to foreign investment. The other half... English will get you through most of it, except for Arabic up North.

It may sound racist, but I have absolutely no interest in Africa. At all.

Outside Kicking out the genocidal IMF and destruction of the U.S. global agricultural suppression against the Continent (and others).

In that case, if you want to do business, Russian or Arabic.

Though I'd say Russian would be the easier than Arabic.

Globally Russian would be a contender as a Business language ?

More people speak Arabic, though.

well i would say, unfortunately, americans talking about different languages and dribbling over foreign women like there's some production line pumping them out into the the grasp of their greasy bilingual hands which is the norm, which is why i'm mocking you for acting like a 13 year old.

I'm not considering Arabic tbh, call it Bad-man syndrome but ever since 2001 I don't really like Muslems too much.

Although your motivational letter is very interesting, exspecially for whatever concerns Swedish, I'll pick German. In my country everyone learns english from elementary school on, but when competing against someone else with your same qualification, knowing a second foreign language can make you win, and German wins over French. It is a matter of taste, but I'll go with German.

On secon thought here is a top four of prioritues, because why not learning all of them?

1 - German
2 - Russian (Outer space primary language)
3 - French
4 - Swedish (probably a nice language to speak, but Sweden is so international I could go there speaking my mother toungue and find someone who answer me)

Delu, you're Swedish! Tell me more!

I'm not Swedish, to tell you a hint look closely at my Nation's flag. 2nd hint: mine is indeed a dirty language, I tried to help an US friend of mine who alredy knew spanish and still had a lot of issues with "if" or "whether" constructs. 3rd hint: we own the entire coffee culture.

What?

The Production Line is called a Bar. Genius.

Have you ever even been to one? Practically all the women there are lascivious.

That's pretty stupid.

If you're interested in business Arabic is a good language to go. That's all I can say.

i guess only sots would go with someone so sleazy.

hey baby i speak ur language how bout them fuckin muslems ;-)

I see what you're saying. I lost a dear friend of mine and his father, so I don't fuck with them.

Practically though, you're spot on.

[Hornesia]

Anything BUT French. It was hard as hell for me to learn, and I don't even remember any of it.

[Romberg]

In that case, it's back to square one, except Swedish is probably not your first option. Now for the next diagnostic question:

Beer, red wine or vodka?

Seriously though, it depends on what you actually WANT to learn your third language for.

Business, and for easy communication around the world, Russian (English and Spanish can get you really far, and Russian will probably fill up the need for most else since you're not interested in Arabia or Africa)

Ease of learning, German

A bit of both, French.

this probably isn't the right thread but have you considered that maybe your position of not really liking 1.57 billion people too much based on the actions of about 30 or so is not very well thought out

[Firmador]

But when you speak it did it sound nice, did it feel good rolling off your tongue? Or is that just a fantasy I have xP

@Romberg,

Red wine and Vodka xP.

And wow, this is actually moving me a lot farther from French than I thought it was going to. Russian and German are growing on me from this thread, but Russian will probably be a forth since I feel like with each language you learn the next becomes easier (because you know what to look for, most common verbs, etc)

See, it's not about logic. That's the fundamental break, it's about emotion. We're not automatons.

I don't like them, that's not going to change.

Nope. It actually felt a lot like German, for some reason. Also, the reason it was hard might've had something to do with the public school district deciding someone with a thick Jamaican accent would be the perfect French teacher. Also, English was her 4th Language.

Oh god, that just ruins the dream, hahaha

[Kottonian Noblemen]

I'd go for german.
1) Germany is economacly(hope I spelled it right) extremly powerfull, so with English, Spanish, German you would be pretty much alright in the hard world of business
2) You may not believe it, but we germans also have humour! It's an awesome place to be in, (except for the fucked up wether) especially at the northern coasts or in Bavaria(little patriot over here)
3) I am german so it just has to be good

BTW: I learn french for 2 years now, and it feels horrible to speak it!

Economically* extremely* powerful*

Very good English, my friend. Yes, I think it's going to be German if one other person tells me French feels like German rolling off the tongue (I had this video in my head of me just hitting on a chick, and then just spewing some random as French to loosen the gates, but eh. Life's a bitch )
