>Understand three languages fluently in spoken and written word

Which three?

Mandarin
Arabic
French

Does it include keeping my native language?

Because I'd like Chinese, and then maybe Russian and Arabic.

But I like English more.

Classical Chinese
Classical Greek
Classical Latin.

Boom.

jap
msa
russian

I'd go for the full Axis Powers experience.

>Italian: The beautiful language of the trio. Get to understand opera, comfy resort by the sea in a country with God-tier history.

>German: The brutal language to swear at people. Also a little bit of Opera. Get to go to the best places in Central Europe. Be Germanophile.

>Japanese: Consume most culture from there, most people don't speak English so it makes practical sense, immense bragging rights

Don't chose a language that'll send you to a third world shithole by your employer (Arabic, Mandarin, etc). Don't chose a language that'll make you sound like a pretentious cunt (Latin, Sanskrit, etc) and don't chose an irrelevant one spoken by less than ten million people (Irish, Finnish, etc)

japanese
mandarin
arabic

Japanese would definitely be worth it for doujinshi alone.

? ? ?

Latin
Arabic
Japanese

German
Arabic
Chinese

Russian would be an option too

He'd this man's warning.

Latin - I'd start the practice regular Latinposting
Japanese - Allows me to pursue some of my interests more easily
Spanish - Regional utility

Russian, Farsi, and mandarin.

German and Gaelic for heritage. Latin

French
Japanese
Old English

Finnish
Arabic
Russian

>people actually saying Russian
I will never understand the fascination of Western autists with that language of subhumans.
inb4 muh literature
Literally a dozen books worth reading, which you can read in translation without losing anything.

I'd learn Spanish, Russian, and Arabic

Spanish for the proximity and practicality, Arabic for business deals, and Russian because it's a cool factor

>Classical Greek (for Plato)
>German (for Goethe)
>Japanese (for waifus)

good post, I was considering learning mandarin. My uncle also does business in China and this post has supported everything he has said about the Chinese. Better learn Japanese instead.

Can they be dead languages?

Goth
Whatever pre indo Europeans spoke
Proto indo european

Latin, German, French

You know PIE was most probably never one language, right?

I'd be like Charles V
>I speak Spanish to God, French to women, Italian to men and German to my horse
I'm functionally literate in Spanish so I just need work on the other three.

you're really going to let a greentext post on a mongolian frottage board change your mind on this?

Either way, I already speak the languages I want to, but I wish I could speak chinese like a native or read it at the level of an elite scholar. that would be useful.

Japanese
Mandarin
Korean

Other western languages can be learned on the hard way.

the proto-indo-european people were at one point a series of tribes of no more than a few hundred people. language itself in that age was probably so basic that all of the tribes regularly learned new varieties of PIE and the transition wouldn't take more than a few hours.

when you only count to 100 it's probably not hard.

that said, having a functional example of what PIE looked/sounded like would be so useful it isn't funny.

Veeky Forums is serious business

Classical Latin.
Modern Standard Arabic.
Farsi.

>Latin
So I can easily learn romance languages

>Arabic
So I can understand the Quran in it's original language

>Japanese
You know why

>You know why
I-I'm not sure.

baka!

>Jap
>English
>Russian

All three has a universal share. They each produce unique culture thats almost inaccessible without some understanding, and interesting too. Jap cause anime/manga/hentai, no brainer here on Veeky Forums. English because lingua franca and almost everything I know is in English nowadays. Russian because although they're European, they are culturally very different and insular as well. I would've chosen Chinese, but with Japanese, I figured the culture is close enough and the Kanji/Chinese characters share some similarities. So its bit redundant. I also would've chosen Spanish but I really don't see anything useful at all from the spanish speaking countries, honestly speaking. German is redundant given its basically Western culture/world translated into German language.

Go speak with westerns who deal with the chinese in business, never met someone who didn't share the same experiences as that greentext

>tfw fluent in english, french and spanish

life is beautiful lads

German, French, and Chinese (Mandarin or Cantonese, whatever's more popular)

shit /int/ thread

Japanese cause I'm a weeb

Mandarin because there are lots of chinks where I live and the sheer amount of Chinese people in the world, I also want to travel asia eventually

Arabic because of the current geopolitical climate and general direction the world seems to be heading. Translators for Arabic are going to continue to be in high demand for a long time.

>you're really going to let a greentext post on a mongolian frottage board change your mind on this?

It's confirmed everything I've ever read about doing business in China/heard from family friends who do business with the Chinese desu.

Latin

German
Japanese
Latin

Latin
Binary
Sanskrit

Any three as of yet undeciphered languages.

Indo-European
Common/Proto-Germanic
Gothic

God DAMN it people, this is the Veeky Forums board
I'm about to solve some linguistic bullshit.

Nice.

What. The. Fuck.

Among the reasons the NWO wants a purge.

I find myself not disagreeing with that reasoning.

Aztec
Mayan
Mississippian

I'll start writing some historical culture books after that and make some bux.

Being able to speak PIE or Proto-Germanic would be useless unless you can actually analyse them.

There are several dozen Mayan languages and I assume the same is true of Mississippian.

french
russian
german

yep, doesn't matter which one though. knowing the languages allows me to know the dead cultures, and infer vast amounts of information about them previously unknown to the world.
