Take a class doofus, or ask for lessons!
too late now, damage is done and I would never use my skills outside of this limited scenario my friend
A thread died for this you faggot. Not your blog.
...
>I don't know how to be responsible for myself and make my own choices
Wow

/r9k/ is down the hall and to the left
thanks senpai
this is r9k shit not ck shit
but it has to do with the act of eating with senpai senpai
Yes, it literally does: TEACH YOURSELF you absolute mongrel.
If you can't speak a language that widely used by people around you, it is no one's fault but yours. You are your own responsibility.
this is a food and cooking board, not an eating board.
we don't give a shit if you eat your own vomit but your faggotass has to at least describe the flavor and how you prepared it.
You're missing the point.
1) At this point everyone is old as fuck. I would never achieve the fluency needed to truly converse with them. Once they die, I will barely ever use my skills.
Secondly, the only reason I'm upset is bc growing up in this way, I believe, has hindered my ability to socialize with others well. I could barely just care less of a fuck about conversing with them in their native tongue because it wouldn't fix my subconscious inability to have good conversations with ppl that was a result of the aforementioned not being able to speak at the dinner table as a child. Plus these dinners are so few and far between that the ROI wouldn't be worth it, but I still get triggered like a lil bitch.
Third, I have other responsibilities and interests that take up my time. Learning a language would just detract from that. I literally don't have the time.
the flavor of the main course was salty. I prepared it by having a shit childhood.
What language?
a difficult language located somewhere in Asia
Laotian?
Thai?
Vietnamese?
>Implying that wouldn't be useful outside of family interaction
chinese
it wouldn't be, because I know for a fact I wouldn't go out of my way to use it.
wrong, learn it for revenge and self actualization
lol nah, i have more efficient tools at my disposal for self-actualization
I pity hapas so much
Learning a language you can't apply daily is fucking waste of time, honestly. Your mind will slowly purge all you have learned and after 10 years only the most basic shit remains.
>t. years of mandatory french lessons
This is a waste of dubs and belongs in /int/ or Veeky Forums
t. post
That's the most Canadian thing I've ever read
kinda true
Actually German. We had to take 3 mandatory foreign languages classes in HS. It was retarded.
when i was in hs in murica it was the same deal. i've forgotten all but the basics of chinese.
