This butthurt is glorious.
>starts speaking French instead of English
>"see, the importance of English in the EU is degrading"
>everyone around him still speaking English
Holy fuck, how can one man be so self-centered?
>...in Europe
>language losing importance within union that already has no importance
>french becomes the major language in EU now
>English is losing importance
Meanwhile, in the real world, the importance of English through global trade, entertainment and science is increasing every day. Fuck off butthurt EU globalist.
he's just butthurt lmao
everyone still speaks english
The Americans and East Asians who make your technology use English to talk to each other. That won't change any time soon.
Your age is over anglos. Without you pesky anglos slowing us Germans down we will start an age of new hegemony in Europe. German is now the most important language.
Good riddance.
>this much delusion
Look, I love my language and all, but this drunkard is seriously mistaken if he thinks anyone but French people speak French massively
It's over, English speakers, French won.
>speaking in French
Im no muslim.
i read it as sub-human Africa
still the same thing
Hahahahaha this fucker is so delusional, what a baby. Barley any young people know French here but all of em know English. Guess what true for the rest of the eu too!
Germans trying to take over Europe again nobody wants to speak your monkey talk
Once again, fuck off.
These EU heads are fucking retards.
They said they would support a Texas and Ohio secession from the US if Trump kept saying nice things about Brexit.
I only wish I was making this up
Germans are Anglos, you retard.
Wait, Germans WERE Anglos, at least till WW2.
has been like 40 years of english as lingua franca vs the +500 of the french, but I'll try latin instead, would be great
this faggot looks like Hollande with a wig
That's absurd. If there's one thing I've learned from the intertubes over the past decade it's that people from other countries have become astonishingly proficient with English.
Can't wait till based Macron wins and he and base Juncker and based Merkel make French the official language of Europe
Shouldn't he be speaking Arabic then?
He should go work for the Académie française after he loses his job.
I bet they're actually going to try to make poorer nations learn german and french, pretty amazing
Would be a shame.... if English wasn't the International Language of Trade
>MFW Brexit makes Europe more nationalistic.
Isn't this what we wanted? Except why are they doing it out of spite?
this, latin must make a comeback
I suppose it's a good thing the EU doesn't have any international trade deals then, isn't it?
This. Also English is the global language of business AND international flight.
Who the fuck knows they are literal caricatures of themselves.
ah yes, destroying nation states and culture, we all wanted that NOT
True. I'd still rather have German though.
No no, Germans are Saxon. The Angles were a particular tribe, I think originating in Denmark who ended up in Bongland.
Ahahaha ohhh..... they're fucked once the EU explodes
نعم إنه كذلك
Is this, dare I say, the end of the Eternal Anglo once and for all?
You EU lads best start learning arabic then.
latin is a joke language i have to study it and at the oend of this month i need to pass exam REEEEEE fuck latin REEEE
Who gives a fuck what the pavement apes speak to each other in.
the language of business and popular culture will remain ENGLISH.
Well Both moved over, we were Anglo-Saxon Mixed with Celtic for a while then the French and Scandinavians Invaded
the germans were a shitload of tribes, those big tribes were a mix of several smaller tribbes
not a joke. languages are easy to learn when you are constantly exposed to them, hard to get exposed with latin on a daily basis.
>latin is a joke language
Digusting.
t. we wuz romans n sheit
How could someone from fucking Luxembourg end up being the voice of Europe? It's the shadiest shit ever.
learning french is hard.
you need like 5 letters to spell an o
I am fine with English
Why do they have to be so offended and change the EU language?
Don't care, gives us an excuse to learn a second language now.
>Everyone around him is speaking English
LOL Thanks for the lel.
English is obviously the best language. English is the first global lingua franca. English is the language of the future. English is the only language in the world that is an official language in countries on all six permanently inhabited continents. The English language has the most books, the most films, the most songs, the most science publications, the most web-sites, arguably the most speakers (ahead of even Mandarin if people who know only a few words of English are counted), it is the official language of both the sea (i.e. Seaspeak) and the sky (i.e. Airspeak) and it will someday become humanity's universal language of space (de jure or otherwise). English was also the first language spoken by humans on another world besides Earth (i.e. the Moon). Arabic, French, Russian, Spanish and Mandarin cannot compete with the linguistic leadership of English.
Salty salty Juncker tried for a 4th reich
Then came Brexit
And put an end to all that shite
Then came Le Pen
And France left as well
Salty Salty Juncker hanged himself in jail
the age of the latin is over, its time for german to rule now
Let's try catalan
its even hard to somehow use latin in real life. All we do during class is reading works of ancient romans lile Cicero or some texts from middle ages. There's no point in this but "muh prestige"
This.
Pls no froq.
The reason English is relevant to begin with is because of America. Let's be real.
if uk won't be part of the EU there is no point in having english has an official language
i love it when juncker is asshurt.
The only reason people still speak English world wide, not accounting for the American influence, is because it's a bastard language with no brain. I reckon that only Esperanto's easier.
>I Jump
>You jump
>He/She jumps

Top lel.
Excited for Eurovision this year, when they'll all be singing in English.
How did Juncker get into a position of importance in the EU? He's from an irrelevant country, and he seems to have the social graces of an /r9k/ aspie. He's done nothing but damage its credibility.
I always find these boasts funny. Like when they say kids should learn Mandarin because there's a billion speakers. Yeah, but how many of them do you wanna talk to? What's that? Approximately zero? Exactly.
>Who gives a fuck what the pavement apes speak to each other in.
>implying africa has pavement
oh man i gotta get out of europe real fast. this shits going down. Hans is at the helm again.
>another world
Moon
kek
Italy here
French is the second most taught language in Italy, still won't make it any more official than english
I'd rather keep speaking english, and if junker can't speak a language that can be understood by the most people then he better stock up on translators, because nobody fucking wants to learn french past elementary school here
>the single biggest mediator language is losing importance because we say so
This is literally what the aristocracy did.
he wishes
ive been to europe and everyone knew english
>starts speaking French instead of English
>The most valuable French-speaking colony is Quebec, which is only one part of Canada.
>Second most valuable French-speaking colony? I dunno, either Haiti or some African shithole.
The most valuable English-speaking colony is the US.
>Second most valuable English-speaking colony? I dunno, either Canada or Austrailia (maybe even India?)
It's not even fucking close. Napoleon shouldn't have sold the Louisiana Purchase if he didn't want French to become irrelevant.
and they will all try to move to france haha
English is a dumbed-down bastard *language* but at least better than French. French is actually the worst part of English.
We should all learn Latin and go back to our roots. Make the Holy Roman Empire great again. If we can't do that, then at least we should speak French. If you're European and can't speak French you should honestly kys you're self.
The biggest irony of this is his father-in-law of 35 years was a nazi collaborator and helped enforce German instead of French in Luxembourg during ww2
>Luxemburgian faggot wants to implement French as European language over the British leaving the EU
>Better blame Germany
>mfw when flags appeared on Sup Forums it changed my global perspective for me
>I literally thought the rest of the world was a sea of Johnny Foreigners speaking broken English while only UK/US/NZ/Aus/Canda/Ireland and a few dedicated bilinguists would be able to speak English well enough to understand and participate in the subtlety of memes
>mfw literally everyone is fluent
In a few decades it's going to be Arabic anyways.
English is the whore of languages
Mate, you should have got that already
DIE ALLEIN SCHULD DEUTSCHLANDS!
its allways you, since the barbaric tribes that overran Rome
By being French?
>simplicity and elegance is bad
>wasting 5 years learning german might actually pay off
Es lebe die (deutschsprachige) EU!
>because nobody fucking wants to learn french past elementary school here
THIS
Anglo /ˈanɡləʊ/:a prefix indicating a relation to the Angles, England, the English people, or the English language, such as in the term Anglo-Saxon language.
Retard.
are you retarded, literally any civilized country nowadays teaches english as second or third language not to mention all the popular media is in english
funny story, I went to international school where UK pupils had to take a second language and do multiple classes in those languages while everyone else had their native language classes and then did the same classes as the UK students (math, sciences and some other stuff). The end result was that EVERYONE but the UK student spoke, wrote and communicated better in english than the fucking english because they had to do chemistry in german or some stupid shit like that.
Also piss off, english is an easy language to both learn and use no matter how much you try to put it on a pedestal.
FUCK YOU JUNCKER I'M NOT LEARNING FRENCH OR REICHSPEAK
Ah ah ah...
Nobody, in their right mind, either East or West of Germany will learn German as a second language.
Ich lehre Deutsch, aber sie fragen mir fur mein Franzeusisch...
therefore I don't remind proper German any more...
And those sub saharans speak such a good "french"...
Please God, end the E.U., please! Please!
Without the Brits, there's no one there to moderate this cucks, weather French, German or their house niggers like the Dutch and Scandis
>implying it will be optional
Are these people retarded?
What language will be accepted in Europe, then? The french aren't gonna give up french, the spanish won't give up spanish, the portuguese won't give up neo-spanish, the germans won't give up german, ect. ect.
Do they think they can impose german upon us? No one will accept it.
I cried, mate.
>are you retarded, literally any civilized country nowadays teaches english as second or third language not to mention all the popular media is in english
And you all sound like gormless retards when you speak it because of your accents.
>Also piss off, english is an easy language to both learn and use no matter how much you try to put it on a pedestal.
I never said it wasn't, just didn't know/care that so many foreign people could write in it well enough for popular culture and slang rather than just a bland school-driven formal English.
Yes
because the super aglutinating German is so much better.
How do you say "convertible car in german"?
WHEELSMOVINGROOFOUT
And shit like that...
He kisses and hugs people in public.
I can't even imagine what he does in private...
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS ALL SPEAK IN BONG
French is an absolutely useless language though.
Btfo Lol.
Since the internet and IT will become irrelevant in the upcoming century of muslim immigration and the west going back 1500 years of civilization we have no more need for your stupid shitlanguage.
Also people are going back to the roots, from problems like traveling the galaxy to counting genders.
The english reign is finally over!
Soon, air traffic people will replace "north" and "south" for "uhhhh uhhh uhhh" and "haaa haa haaaa".
French. Sub saharan style.
english is a shit tier language. good ridance
Arabic will be the main language of Europe soon anyway.
I'd laugh at that, but it just hurts.
This guy is such an ass. And the media loves it.
Of COURSE the EU will use less English if an english speaking country isn't in it.
As long as the US exists as a cultural power the English language won't lose any significance.
But why French? Why not Arabic?
