Learning another language

[dntsdad]

Why would you choose to learn some random language ? Seems odd.

Why not something that you can use and practice. Spanish seems the most likely to be practical.

I speak, read and write French. I think it is to everyones benefit to speak a foreign language, because it helps you understand your native language better.

Yeah, maybe I am just different.

I don't much care to understand English better in that sense and I wouldnt want to learn a new language unless I had an application for it.

Be like learning computer coding and then never write any programs or do anything with it.

To each his own though.

I would love to learn Spanish and have tried many times. It just doesn't click with my brain. Never have been able to

To go with you saying Mexican isn't Spanish, I've found that in Great Britain they speak English and here we speak American. Britain and America are two nations divided by a common language.

I spent a couple weeks in and around London a few years ago for “spring break”

I was in a pub enjoying a pint of Guinness when the person I was talking to asked if “I’d care for a fag?”

I have been half-assing Swedish with an app called Duolingo on my phone. I can't speak it, and definitely wouldn't understand someone speaking it fluently to me, but I could probably get the most basic points across if I needed to with what I have learned.

Snakker du Norsk?

I know what that means. He wanted a cigarette. One of the funniest I've heard is a young lady made an arrangement for an American to pick her up at her house the next morning so she could take him on a private tour. She told the American to come to her house at 8am and "knock me up".

No, I am intending to try that one next after I get done half-assing Swedish, then maybe old Norse. I am hoping it will improve my understanding of the Eddas.

Most of Norwegian and Swedish is the same. I go from Norway to Sweden when I snowmobile, and I seem to get along just fine at the liquor store.

Spanish makes the most sense. I am learning German. Slowly.
