Thank you for making your life revolve around mine🥰
Halt die Fresse, Bruder.
Nåh, det var da ikke noget problem. Nu skal du bare lære at tale dansk, tak.
Funny but English as a Lingua Franca is a thing. English has become a widely understood international language so its not just used to talk to native English speakers but also as a common language between non-native speakers.
Erm. English is the world language. In science and all international bodies. Why wouldn't we use English to communicate with people from other countries when not at least one person speaks the native language of the other (yes, that happens, and then we don't speak English)?
There are 10 types of people in the world.
Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
And those who understand that this joke works in any base.
...and those who didn't expect a ternary joke!
That's only 2 types of people, IDIOT!
Well we know which type you are. 🤭
And I deeply appreciate it.
I learned Spanish in high school, but I never really had the opportunity to use it (grew up in a very insulated community where minorities weren’t exactly celebrated and ‘you’re in America speak English was a common sentiment) and lost it. I can still say ‘your mom smells like cheese when it’su see water’ and a few other things, but any semblance of conversational Spanish is gone.
In my country I speak my language because others doesn't speak my dialect.
I envy native english speakers. They don't have to waste time learning english.
I write simple explanations in english because developers can only write simple instructions in code.
I speak (well, mostly write) English because it's the only language that the vast majority of the world knows, including my girlfriend.
Also, I'm a linguaphile and it has more words for me to play with than any other language 😁
Gringo momento xd
Dude, I get it, but I don't have anything against you and I'm not demanding you learn English to cater to me.
Please stop assuming I'm racist or selfish for only knowing the language my parents spoke most when I was a baby, I probably could have picked up Spanish from my mom's family but sending a teenager with Asperger's like me to stay with relatives in South America in 2007 like my normal-brained brother did as a foreign exchange student would have been infeasible.
I just want to write speculative fiction in my own language and in return be grateful to people who are willing to learn a trade language, not be told I'm a monster just for speaking only a language that's commonplace, is that too much to ask?
Sprich Deutsch, du elendiger Englisch sprechender Hurensohn!
It's not about you personally, more about the education system in some countries versus others.
And then the Anglos complain that they don't get the professional opportunities that those who know multiple languages get.
Cause no one uses pig latin anymore. Uckfay hetay olicepay
in many cases, it's the only language that all participants in the conversation understand, not the only one for each.
but to be honest, if I could exchange my knowledge of my native language with the same amount of experience with something else (e.g. programming, math, etc.) I might take that deal (after moving to a primarily english speaking country of course).
En dit is waarom VS-Standaardisme zo'n groot probleem is op het internet. Iedereen spreekt Engels, en de Verenigde Staten zijn de grootsten wat betreft het aantal Engelssprekers. En daardoor ontstaat een situatie waardoor de meeste gebruikers worden gezien als Amerikaans tenzij anders vernomen.
That's not true; I also speak Dutch!
Anyone want to speak Dutch with me? ...... That's what I thought.
Well I'm currently learning Japanese but I don't yet know enough words to make a funny comment here
Oh god the thought of only communicating to someone with code would drive me insane.
I know romanian, moldovan, british english, american english, python, c#, gdscript and c++
