If you only speak 1 language, why? You can better yourself for free and learn cool things about other cultures. I can speak English & French, and I'm learning German.

Learning languages is lots of fun. I think I might learn Spanish or Korean next, depending on which country has better racist oi punk bands.

Homophobia is really mean and wrong, so I reported you to the mods.

I took 4 years of Latin in high school, so I'm fluent with other people who took 4 years of Latin in high school.

I think it takes a lot more work to become fluent than take some highschool courses. You have to go out and meet people and immerse yourself in other cultures.

Maybe you should use capital letters and punctuation while oversharing about your life instead of trying to make jokes

The only reason why 99% of Americans ever study a foreign language at all is to half-rear end it and lord it over or compete with their countrymen and not to effectively communicate with foreigners HOPE THAT loving HELPS, BITCH rear end OP.

I like having friends from all over the world, and I believe we have a lot to share with eachother culturally and personally.

I just really wish I had started taking Spanish instead of French. Spanish I could have actually used. French just lets me watch foreign movies and critique the translations of the subtitles.

They're similar languages, and I believe you can learn Spanish if you decide to try :)

Same but it's not really a thing you can talk about with other Americans without being utterly shat upon and having the most disgusting motivations ascribed to you because of it (see the first person to mention Japanese in this thread talking about weeaboos). German: Nazi. French: Snob. Any Asian language: Sex tourist or weeaboo. I suspect that's precisely what you were trying to demonstrate with your retarded GBS honeypot thread. It also doesn't help that study abroad is often a means for Americans to virtue signal or demonstrate that they are a member of a privileged class of enlightened worldly people.

Actually, I wanted to know what languages GBS posters like to speak.

There are people in your life who love you, imagine what they would think if they saw your mean-spirited posts.

Your anki flashcard deck consists of several variations of "GBS déteste les femmes"

Be kind to those around you, and accept kindness from others too.

There's a really nice German language megathread in the educational forum. Go there and you too can be called a nazi repeatedly by people who should know better.

I don't think they would do that.

Keg is a dumbass sadbrain and is therefore a drain on society which is what the original term meant before it was applied to good and cool homosexuals, many of whom make real contributions to society, unlike Keg who should just kill himself because he is like a heavy bundle of sticks on the back of humanity.

Actually, I'm happy.

This would have, potentially, been an OK thread with interesting discussion if someone other than you posted it.

GBS hates happiness.
