I mean I was planning to visit in the next couple of years anyway I guess…

    I find it hard to imagine learning a language that I don’t foresee myself using at least once a week IRL

    I’ve tried learning French and German but honestly I very rarely encounter speakers of those languages and can count on one hand the number that didn’t also speak English.

    I’ve been learning Spanish though for nearly a year to great success.

      This is why I struggle with the languages I want to learn. No use for them in the fay to day though I am sure I could find more German speakers than Scottish Gaelic

      Now get this. I live in Montreal and three years in I can still barely understand français québécois, despite being immersed in it.

      Latin languages seem to be my nemesis.
