Me too, know some of the words and they intersperse English so sometimes can make out the gist.
Would love to see the Phila Eagles learn some to use as hard counts, could you imagine!
Would like to be fluent in Japanese so I can understand my wife and kids
Some kind of Chinese might be good but I’ve met numerous expats and lots of them communicate with other Chinese in English because it’s not so often they know the same dialect.
I’ve heard Spanish is a good language to learn but I have no use for it.
Esperanto, the 1960s hope for the universal language of the future, I’m probably the only person on earth who doesn’t know it yet which is why none on you mentioned it.
I have English, French, and Spanish. English because that is my native tongue. French because it was taught in school and there was a french speaking town across the river and the girls were pretty. Spanish because it has been handy to know here in New Mexico. I don’t have any strong desire to learn any other language at present.
Do you count versions of the same language? Like, English = Canadian, UK, US, Australian
It’s awsome that you know a lot of Chinese local languages. But actually, for foreigner, there’s only one language to learn, Mandarin, and will be enough to communicate with other local languages speaker, cause nearly all the chinese could speak and understand Mandarin.
As a matter of fact, not every chinese could understand all the chinese local languages, for example, I could only understand Cantonese, Hakka, and Mandarin.
I grew up with English, Swiss-German, German and some Dutch. Currently learning Swedish and Spanish and would like to include French and something more exotic later. Japanese is tricky, so is Mandarin. But I already speak/understand another Asian language, so maybe Russian?
