>languages you can speak
English, Belarusian, Russian, Ukrainian
>languages you would like to speak/currently learning
Polish, Lithuanian, Finnish, Japanese, Portugese
>your favorite language
all Slavic languages
>the shittiest language
every language is beautiful, but French is a little bit less

>Speak
American(native), English(Fluent), Australian(Can understand 50% of conversational australian)

>Currently Learning
Latin(Very far along, good vocab/reading/grammar knowledge, still struggle through Cicero level but can read Vulgate easily.) Greek(Can read it as if it was using Latin Alphabet, bad vocab, good grammar)
German(Just started on new year, easy, ugly, probably will only use as a resume builder cuz fuck Germcuckistan, might visit in a few years if the caliph allows me)

>Would like to speak
Russian, Mandarin, Romance(Spanish/French/Italian in that order)
Plan to get to intermediate levels with all these over the next 10 years.

>Favorite Language
Latin looks/sounds/flows beautifully. Romance languages are nice but I hear Spanish spoken by filthy spics all the time and it ruins my language boner.

>Shittest language
Chinese because it is cancerous hieroglyphics and is spoken by savages.
Sounds horrible, their music is shit, and they are too easily overshadowed by based nippons.

>languages you can speak
English and German fluently

>languages you would like to speak/currently learning
I am learning Japanese (not a weeb)

>your favorite language
English probably

>the shittiest language
Arabic probably. Sounds like grunting and snorting.

>>languages you can speak
English and Russian fluently, Latvian on practical level.

>>languages you would like to speak/currently learning
Currently learning Latin at uni. I wish I did not sleep at German classes in high school and also I want to learn French and Spanish. Ancient Greek and Italian would be splendid to learn too but I will probably not going to try to learn them in my lifetime.

>>your favorite language
English, because it's useful
.
>>the shittiest language
That's stupid. All languages are very beautiful and interesting, there is no such this as a "shitty" language, let alone the "shittiest" one.

>Speak
English, Polish, Russian
>Would like to speak/learning
Would be nice to speak Mandarin, Latin, and Ancient Greek but realistically I'll probably start learning Spanish at some point
>your favorite language
In terms of the way it sounds, probably Japanese. Not even a weeb.
>the shittiest language
Dutch, Arabic, Hebrew (I really hate the throat-clearing sounds), a few SE Asian languages that sound like parrots squawking - Thai, Vietnamese, probably some others

>Belarusian, Ukrainian
Thats cheating, бpaтюня, these aren't real languages

>korean
How did you learn Korean? I was planning on learning it before but it never happened. Pretty much the only reason I want to learn it is because of Korean cinema but I suppose not planning on going there and there not being any Koreans where I live means I had not enough drive that one needs to learn a completely new language. I want to give it another try though.

Well, you can try to read something in these languages without learning. Your Russian won't help you. I understand Ukrainian because it's similar to Belarusian, but I still have to learn a lot of vocabulary to not mix words from other East-Slavic languages while speaking. Also Polish is quite easy for Belarusians too. We are cheating nation

>Polish
>a language

Anyway:
>Speak
English; read Latin fluently; conversational Mandarin enough to talk to GF's Taiwanese parents about my life, goals, values, etc.
>Would like to speak/learning
Better Chinese, Ancient Greek, Russian, Armenian (because its relationship to PIE is very weird and interesting)
>your favorite language
I am obsessed with Hong Kong cinema, so I have a weird and extreme affection for the hideous sound of Cantonese
>the shittiest language
Arabic - it literally doesn't even have a semi-regular system of pluralizing, which is total insanity

>speak

>would like to speak/currently learning

>favorite language

>shittiest language

>no pluralizing
>it weren't 72 virgins but a 72 year old virgin

>Speak

>Would like to speak
Korean (for cinema and Go) and German (books)
>Favourite language
Japanese sounds nice but I'm not a weeaboo
>Shittest language
Finnish is the most disgusting language

They can make plurals, there are just no consistent paradigms, so you can't tell how to pluralize a word just by seeing it in the singular (usually).

america is strong with this one

>mouse
>mice
WHAT THE HECK ENGLISH

Yes, but in English, irregular plurals are rare. In Arabic they are more common than not. Huge difference.

Probably English, since native speakers are least likely to learn any other languages. You need to have struggled explaining yourself in a foreign language to know the struggle non-natives go through when talking to you.

>Finnish is the most disgusting language
Can you elaborate?

>I want to learn Cantonese because I have a crush that can speak it.

Think of how many dicks she'll have taken by the time you even get *conversational* in Cantonese.

You're never gonna make it, brah. Just say "Ni hao" and ask her out.

Why?

I can't thing on a language as shitty, as long as it lets people comunicate properly. I choosed esperante because it's not widely used, so if I have to say one, I'd say this one for the reason that nobody talks it.

*I can't think.
*esperanto

I really have to check my typos.

Yes Hebrew, not Jewish or even religious though.

Native spanish, fluent in english, and moderately good on italian (though just by speaking spanish you already know some italian) also, can read a bit of french.
I'd like to better my italian and french (the latter just for reading purposes), i love the sound of german but it's hideously difficult to learn. Also would like to russian. And, maybe, sanskrit, greek or latin.
My favorite language is italian and i absolutely despise the way french and portuguese sound

>languages you can speak
Italian and English pretty well, German so-so (I've spent the last year learning it but I focused my efforts on learning to read, so I'm still very weak on active use), and I can usually decode Latin inscription from what I remember from high school Latin.

>languages you would like to speak/currently learning
I have still a few months to go before my "year of learning German" ends, and I'd like to be able to read Kant by then (at the moment I'm able to read modern books *about* Kant). After that I would like to learn Russian, Japanese, and Polish. I have a feeling I could learn a pretty decent French in a few months, given the similarities with Italian and with my local dialect, and maybe I will make an experiment out of it. I could also (re)learn Latin to a pretty good level easily, but I wouldn't know what to do with it.

>your favorite language
I don't have one. I'm not into how beautiful a language sounds or stuff like that, so I only judge them by how many interesting things I can read in them.

>the shittiest language
I guess modern Chinese. It looks like there is nothing worth reading in it, and it is unbelievably difficult.

>languages you can speak
English, Russian (I can mostly only read, I've focused very heavily on it at the expense of other skills, though I don't care very much about them), Irish (learned in school though I've forgotten most of it)

>languages you would like to speak/currently learning
Would like to learn my local dialect of Irish, and brush up on my Irish. I'm going to pick up a romance language pretty soon as well. Probably french for the litrtr

>your favorite language

So far I really like Russian. It sounds good and there's a lot of good stuff written in it. French i hold in a similar regard.

>the shittiest language
German. It sounds terrible and outside of philosophy there's little reason to learn it in my eyes. I could be persuaded otherwise.

>speak
English
>like to speak/learning
I wont' list them all but basically am interested in the entire Indo-European family tree
>favorite language
German
>shittiest language
IDK, probably some abo language that I've never heard of

>Speak

>languages you would like to speak/currently learning
Currently French. Would like to learn Italian, German and possibly Dutch. Ancient Greek and Latin would be nice too.
>your favourite language
English master race. If used properly it can be exquisite.
>shittiest language
Mandarin. Disgusting.

>speak
Swedish (native), English (fluent), German (somewhat, needs work before it can be considered fluent)
>would like to learn
French, Korean, Mandarin, Japanese, Latin
>currently learning
Japanese
>shittiest language
Mandarin (writing), Arabic (sounding)

>Dutch, English, some French and German
>Italian, Spanish, and I'd like to be a lot better at French
>French and Italian
>chinese sounds like dogshit

So after looking over these responses I've concluded that these are the most disliked languages:
1. Mandarin (11x)
2. Arabic (7x)
3.French (5x)
4. German (4x)
5. English (3x)

So it's harsh, guttural languages and languages with (seemingly) little pronunciation that are disliked the most.

>languages you can speak
Spanish (native), english (Veeky Forums-tier fluency)
>languages you would like to speak/currently learning
I want to learn how to read weebrunes.
Also, some retarded micronesian language like tokelauan for the keks.
>your favorite language

Do the same but with favourite languages.
I would do it myself but I am very lazy.

where are you from? do you already know where you are moving to in brazil?

>speak

>learning/would like to learn
currently learning spanish, mainly for quixote but also for bolaño, garcía marquez, borges. Next I want to learn italian and more ahead french and latin.

>favorite
latin, love how its written, love how it looks, love how it sounds. also some languages have similarities that come from latin and I am a retard fetishist for religion/church, so latin it is

>shittiest language
do not want to cause a shitstorm here, just MY opinion: not shitty, but I do not think english is as beautiful as some other languages, but then again, some of the best books are written in english and I enjoyed a lot reading them in the original, also, it is the ""official international language"" so its useful too

>speak

>want to learn/learning

>favorite
Hungarian, we are irrelevant as fuck but our language is one of the most beautiful and expressive.

>shittiest
if I go by sound it's mandarin or some other chinese dialect, maybe the african native clicks or whatever

>So it's harsh, guttural languages and languages with (seemingly) little pronunciation that are disliked the most.

This conclusion is completely arbitrary. You may find endless sets of different criteria, and different people may hate a language for different causes. For example I hate Mandarin because, despite the huge number of speakers, there is basically no one I would like to speak to.

>>Hungarian

>Ugly language desu.

kys my friend

>languages you can speak
Portuguese (native), English, German (very basic conversations and simple texts) and Spanish (I haven't spoken it in a long time, but that's what Portunhol is for)
>languages you would like to speak/currently learning
Currently learning German, want to learn French, Latin, Greek and a distant one just for keks, maybe Hungarian or Japanese.
>your favorite language

SE asian languages are shittiest tier

>languages you can speak
English (native), Cantonese (native), Japanese (haltingly), Mandarin (bad)

>languages you would like to speak/currently learning
Japanese. Would like to learn Ancient Greek but don't see much use for it. Also want to learn Arabic just because it's everywhere in the Middle East.

>your favorite language
English for breadth of vocabulary and expression. Probably just biased toward my native tongue.

Japanese for sound: most words are made up of syllables comprising 1 consonant + 1 vowel, so the syllables sound very clean and orderly.

>the shittiest language
To learn: Chinese. Even native Chinese people forget how to write the characters. However once you do know the characters you can put a lot of meaning into very few words.

To speak: SE languages. Their sounds come off as either guttural or mentally deficient.

>SE languages
I mean SE Asian languages

Same except shittiest language is Dutch.

>would like to learn Farsi, Russia, German

It's ok to hate French people, but don't take it on the language itself

>It's ok to hate French people, but don't take it on the language itself
Not that guy, but for me it's the reverse. I love french culture (not the current year one) and french history, but their language is fucking shit.

Can speak: English (fluent), Arabic (semi-fluent, illiterate).
Learning: Spanish (lazily), Arabic (literacy)
Want to learn: French

Favorite language would be French.
I don't understand the hate for the language ITT. It's more pleasant than German or English to hear.
Top Tier: French, Spanish
Good Tier: Russian, Arabic, Japanese
Meh Tier: Dutch, Mandarin, English
Shit Tier: German, Swedish/Scandinavian languages

>your favorite language

>the shittiest language
I have a bit of resentment for Portuguese, if only because it seems like a mistake that it exists in the first place. They developed so close and are so similar, but they had to split off.
>(con distinción por supuesto)
Quick question, what do you mean by this? "With distinction, for example?" Not sure if I'm understanding it wrong in Spanish or I'm just missing the meaning in English.

>speak
English (Native, fluent)

>languages you would like to speak/currently learning
Russian (one day)

>your favorite language
English: the language of Shakespeare.

>the shittiest language
English, the most convoluted vomit language. It's a blessing and a curse.
But really it's Japanese, at least for me, just because it's so damn nuanced.

"distinción" has both that meaning and class, elegance. I guess that's what he means, but I'm a native speaker and it doesn't really make much sense to me either

>can speak
Dutch (native), English (basically bilingual), Italian (C1), Afrikaans (lel)
>currently learning
German. I can probably read not-too-complex books, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
>Favourite
Italian, brothers, by far.
>shittiest
I don't dislike any of them, but the Afrikaners should really just give up and relearn Dutch.

Any tips on how to start learning another language (other than "just do it"). I'm getting into the TESL field, and even though it's not necessary I think it would be beneficial to know at least one other language. I'm interested in Russian culture/history/literature, so I've been trying to learn the language. I used Duolingo for a few weeks over winter break, but dropped it because I got busy.

- Portuguese(native,fluent)/ english(intermediate/ basic)
- I'm Iearning japonese and I'd like to learn french.
- portuguese
- I think spanish is annoying to hear, but i dont think its a shit language.

How do you get by on this board with intermediate/basic level English skills?
