I think they would have been in more modern French (if I understand correctly), but I don't plan on going to France and I know, like, 2 French people, so it seems excessive to learn it only to read some books. I have thought about just learning to read it, but that's hard to do bc you can't find apps that are like, "we teach you to read a language! Don't worry about speaking", usually they're the opposite way.
Yeah, because most people want to communicate.
(I am shy, reading and listening is enough, right?)
ASL is such a fun language to learn I just want to let you know about the YouTube channel ASL Rochelle, she has a series called Sequestered Signing if I recall correctly. It was incredibly useful! I hope you have a good time learning it if you decide to anytime soon
I don’t really want to learn anything else after Japanese, but if I had the time I would learn Korean. I heard that there are more English speakers in Korea, but is that really true? I’d only want to *visit* South Korea, while living in Japan is my dream! if I forgot English maybe my brain would be able to learn Korean too…
Being bilingual seems to help with learning additional languages, hence all the polyglots who know 3 or more languages and switch between them with ease. Knowing English is actually very useful for learning Korean because a lot of learning materials are written in English, too. (Also, I assume most of the English speakers in South Korea are probably folks who live in the most populous cities, sort of like Japan's population. You'll find more English-speaking people in Japan if you travel to 東京, but good luck finding English speakers in the rural countryside.)
I want to read Tintin in it's original format, which is only in French sadly. Also there is a book that has to do with ancestry that's only in French, but I already found a French person who looked through it for me so it's not as big of a deal anymore. (French is really difficult that's why I don't want to.) The only reason to learn Spanish is that there are a lot of Spanish speakers around where I live (sort of), but I don't know any really well, so in reality that makes no more sense that learning Hmong would for me.
Sadly, I don't really know the German people that well. Although I might just learn that anyway, bc I know people who are learning German. I'm only N5 level really, so I wouldn't be quite yet
oh my god tintin is so good, and also it is Belgian, and so am I, so ye :)

Yes Tintin is my favorite Also かぜさん you are from Belgium? Belgium is so cool (mostly bc Tintin is from there ) I know Belgium has Dutch French and German for official languages, even though only 1% of Belgians speak German I would have thought more would, since it's right next to Germany.
Spanish (I took two Spanish classes in HS), German, Latin maybe (I'm going to personally fistfight Gaius Julius Caesar)? I considered Korean because my boyfriend is gonna learn it but idk.

hmm, I guess that is a good point I sort of am sad that English is my first language because I’d rather be better at Japanese than English in the first place and get exposed to more of all that kanji and grammar. Yeahhhh I’m kinda weird, I know, but it’s true
Ukrainian or Russian, maybe. I like how they sound, and I would know another writing sytem. Also, it could be useful for me, because there are a lot of people from those countries (and some others) where I live
I'm very interested in giving Spanish a try! I ve dabbed my feet into it a bit and since i m fluent in German and English I find Spanish quite intuitive most of the time!
i d also be potentially interested in Swahili (though cursed be the lack of resources), or Indonesian. But those are Projects for much, much later ^^
At the moment, I'm learning Spanish, French, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Armenian, Russian, and I also know some Welsh since I live in Wales so they teach us it at school, but to be honest, I don't have any passion for learning it for the sake of becoming fluent, and if school didn't exist I wouldn't feel the need to learn a word. I'm nowhere near fluent in any of them, but I'm best at Japanese. I choose which ones to focus on every day based on what I'm getting bored of and what I feel interested in.
French. Actually I‘m learning French at the same time kind of. If I ever manage to become as good as I am at English I would gladly learn Chinese and Spanish as well but…And Slavic languages are also interesting to me but I‘d only attempt it if I were one of those cool and successful polyglots
I would like to learn Italian after I learn Japanese, after that, I would like to learn Russian! I'm thinking of learning Korean, Hebrew and maybe Vietnamese!
I heard about Okinawan. It sounds like a completely different language! So cool I really like the Japanese dialects because they all sound so unique in their own way. I also want to learn the Kansai dialect in a few months. I found a website which teaches the grammar and the vocabulary used in the Kansai dialect: http://www.kansaiben.com/
