RFC2324 posted:P sure thats less Poirot and more I am Belgian so I wasn't trying to be pedantic (let alone weirdly defensive of our weapons industry, which, ugh, yeah), it's just a specific Belgian annoyance at Belgian things being mislabeled as French, like Tintin, Jacques Brel, fries or Stromae. Even if anglophones do get the country right, they will often portray it as uniformly French-speaking, while only about 35% of the population has it as its native language.

Meanwhile Belgians speak like 74 languages because they border 200 countries despite being smaller than a Chicago suburb.

Hell, I'd have taken Russian, it would certainly have been more use than the Spanish they offered (and I refused to take because I and most of the other students hated the teacher). Also thank you for informing me Tintin is Belgian, I will try to remember that.

One year from now everybody is gonna be much better or worse off. And frankly I'm here for it.

If you’re wondering where the first indigenous language places, it’s Nahuatl. At under two million speakers, it’s less spoken in North America than Tagalog.

Shut the gently caress up about polyglots and monoglots. If you think people from the US all are monolingual and that the US is the only country where that does and could ever happen, you haven't seen enough of the world to say poo poo.

The "Europeans all know do many languages" thing quickly falls apart once you visit the beautiful country of France, where absolutely loving nobody speaks anything other than french. I had trouble ordering a big mac at McDonald's, my monster of a sentence "one. big Mac menu. sil vous plait" just got a panicked "....Le big Mac??" Back. On the other side each and every Dane could probably write a full length English novel at the drop oh a hat, they are all ridiculously good at it. Also most Austria and swiss people can speak German up a certain degree, that's impressive too!

Honestly in my experience going to Germany/Austria to practice your German is a terrible idea. Because once there and you try to speak German and they realize you can speak English, they'll get excited to practice their English with you.
