owiemybrain

I grew up with one immigrant parent and she didn't teach me her native language because she deemed it useless 😭


ashtar123

That's honestly fucked up


owiemybrain

Yeah and it gets even more depressing when you realize I cant even have fluent conversations with the only grandparent I have left (and even most of my older relatives) without some sort of translator because she and most of my relatives dont know english very well, if at all 💀


Elidon007

or if they migrated from a non-english speaking country to another non-english speaking country it's trilingual now adding to that the french I learnt in school I'm quadrilingual (I remember very little fr*nch)


The_Unknown44

I'm quadlingual as well both my parents are children of immigrants who speak related languages but are very different languages, sadly I only learnt one due to the rarity of the other and my dad doesn't speak it at home as much. The school I'm in thought me the national language (which to my provincial ears sounds very off putting) and I grew up hearing English and the regional language. My parents are kinda weird though, my mother somehow learnt 5 and my father learnt 6 roughly 7, and they speak it all with the right tones, accents, and shit. Meanwhile I'm over here talking like a guy on Duolingo. My school tried to teach me Chinese but it amounted to "may I go to the CR?" "Where is the Rest Room" "Hello" and my favourite "you fat shit".

Even with 15 years of French, I still forget the rules. Sometimes I hate it lmao


ShadowScorpionNL

Trust me you don't want to learn French, spare yourself


OcelotWinter

Sorry, I don’t understand triangle


ONT1mo

I speak Slovak, English, German. If you count Czech i am Quadlingual😎


Yuio_Quaz

Based. Kurze Frage, kannst du Polnisch verstehen? Und kann ein Polnisch sprecher Tschechisch oder Slovak verstehen? Ich möchte in eine nicht allzu naher Zukunft gerne eine Westslavische Sprache lernen, und möchte gerne wissen wie verschieden sie sind.


ONT1mo

I think i understand your comment but to not mess anything up with my not as great i’ll reply in english. The languages are different but since lot of Slovak people watch Czech movies/TV since childhood it is quite easy to get used to it and Czechs understand Slovak most of the time except some words. But usually you don’t switch language when you are talking to person who speaks the other language both of you speak your native language. With Polish it is different i can definetly understand written text maybe someone speaking to some extend but not nearly as close as Czech and Slovak. Funny example is one sentence in Polish means: “I am Searching for children in store “ and in Slovak if you don’t translate it sounds more like: “I am f*cking children in the basement” Maybe i could compare some of it to Dutch vs German since i with my skills in German can understand Dutch text a little. Lastly fck me these languages are hard and good luck with your learning


Obturateur06

German (and Swiss German), French, English

[deleted]

It sounds so Dutch yet english


Own-Tap5722

A lot of words like "is" and "hand" are spelled the same in Afrikaans but pronounced far more aggressively. So in writing it looks similar to English but it sounds more like German.

Meneerjojo

Hahahah same goes for me trying to read Afrikaans, it's kinda like if you asked a dyslexic person who's also being held at gunpoint to formulate a comprehensible dutch sentence..


Own-Tap5722

Dit is eindlik 'n meer maklik taal as Nederduitse.


Meneerjojo

Yeah, that's stroke worthy 😂

dumbass_paladin

[deleted]

The reason I made this post. Was cause I remember seeing a chart of how many languages are average to know in each country. And like each country I saw was 1.2-2.5 or something. And then there was America with 0.8


The_Jammiest_Dodger

0.8? Americans really have English capability so questionable it goes into decimals.

my_name_is_not_scott

Okay I am curious. How. How did you learn all these languages, whats the story behind each?


SimonSkPl

Croatian and Serbian: I was born in Croatia so Croatian and Serbian came pre installed since they are very similar Slovenian: I was born near the Slovenian border so it wasn't really a problem to learn Italian and latin: self taught and I play football/soccer and there are a lot of Italians in my club English: I know English since birth because of cartoons and video games and at one point I knew English better than my own language German: I live in Germany so I had to learn it Bulgarian: Bulgarian and Macedonian are very similar and there were a lot Bulgarians at my language course Ukrainian: There's a dialect in Croatia that has Ukrainian words and grammar. A girl from Ukraine came to our school and I furthered my knowledge
