Ive wrked with ? from overseas that know 4 or 5 languages
I've been trying to learn Spanish, to bump my game up and be more well rounded

I learned Klingon to impress a nerd chick in high school. I forgot most of it and she had saggy ? so it was a waste of time

I used to want to take classes and all but it don't matter no more. America will always be a English language country first. You interview with Corporate America in English. Anything else is just a luxury on ya own time. White folks ain't gonna tolerate that Spanish especially for too much longer. Jobs will have Spanish speaking zones and it will be grounds for termination. Labeled: UnAmerican. If u ain't white ya self, get a pipeline to em so u can see how deep the supremacy goes. I know Spanish but don't really care. Jobs will use your ass and pay a few pennies extra for bilingual. Not worth it.

Fluent in Dutch, Moroccan, Indonesian, English n German.
Studied putonghua/Mandarin for years in College n even lived in Beijing for a min but been posted up here in Indo for the past 5 years so I'm not as fluent as I once was...
Teaching my son English n Indo...we're trying to do it the Belgium way: we consequently -try- to speak one language to the boy...so the wife speaks Indo to him and I English... -
Ppl only knowing English is really just an American problem. Even a good number Canadians and Mexicans are bi and trilingual but the US don't push that ? .
I was learning Spanish with duolingo earlier this year but I fell off with it cuz of school and ? . Ima get back tho. Working in healthcare in cali, you gotta at least be able to understand Spanish if you can't speak it cuz it's too many of them ? over here lol

main reason why Im fluent in multiple languages is cause I'm from Holland and no one outside our small azz country speaks Dutch lol. So we have to adapt to our surroundings. -
Muricans the only fuckboys out there that travel to England and tell em their English accent is weird.
English folk the only mofos out there that travel all over the world and say: 'what? You don't speak English?' -

Forget to ad that many larger nations - Japan, Indonesia, Spain, Italy etc etc - most people can't speak English/a 2nd language. Cause just like in The states, it isn't a necessity (sans the area you're at for example). -
Here in Indo people do speak multiple languages but it's the island languages/local language. The wife is fluent in Bahasa Indo, Bali and Jawa for example. It's just that they don't speak Chinese, English or another world language.

How different is Arabic from Moroccan? Ive always heard Moroccan is basically Arabic and French mixed together. Is that true? -

Many Moroccans in Morocco are fluent in French and Arabic but Moroccan itself is closer to Arabic - sans the Berber languages which are completely different - but Egyptians, Libyans etc can't understand what were talking about when we speak Moroccan...if that makes any sense to you. I can understand Arabic but my French sucks. -

Here in Indo we all speak Bahasa Indo, I live in Jawa though so the min a ? starts talking Javanese Im like: que? -
English, Spanish...know how to hop between Panamanian, Puerto Rican, and Dominican spanish mainly from having Dominican and PR friends. Know some El Salvadorian slang too because there's so many in DC and PG County, MD. Spanish can sound very different if you don't know what certain words in each culture mean.
