Aren't all scandinavian-region language pretty much the same? Why learn Finnish as opposed to Norwegian or Swedish?
Every language is a meme language
Japanese
Swahili.
>non-meme
Finnish is way different than the Scandinavian languanges. Also don't learn it because it's extremely difficult and useless
Finnish is entirely different to Norwegian/Swedish/Danish
yeah, Finnish is dialect of Swedish, totally same langauge, no point to it
How should I learn Finnish then? It's not on Duolingo yet
Japanese
...
>American education
Finland isn't Scandinavian but it is Nordic
The 4 other Nordic languages (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and Icelandic) are all similar to each other but Finnish is completely different and not even in the same language family

holy shit this is a joke right?
How about Dutch?
There's no point, everyone here speaks English.
There would be a slight point if you want to live here permanently, but it's very hard.
We use many sayings that are hard to remember, and our grammar is a mess.
Nope
Finnish is a synthetic language so when in English you use many words to describe something we attach letters to a word
For example juoksentelisinkohan=I wonder if I should run around aimlessly
no. You wont learn it because 1) no good sources 2) too difficult

Has the meaning of the word meme changed?
Does it mean something good or bad now?
bad, in this context
It's something that should not be taken seriously.
Examples:
Women
Justin Trudeau
Australian flags
Is Cantonese a meme?
Yes. It sounds absolutely gay, young people in China will know basic Mandarin, people in HK will know English. There's no reason to learn it.

German has become a cuck language.
The only correct answer is Slovene.
literally never heard of that language
>and our grammar is a mess
in what way
Italian or french if you want to score some bitches, trust me.
Sell me on Slovene. Why should I learn it over another language?
Don't learn a foreign language. You'll give up after 1 month like 99% of Anglos do, and even if you persisted you'd never get good at it unless you really tried.
I guess you could learn Spanish since there are so many Spanish speakers in the US.
>burger education
Because it's one of the last Indo-European languages to retain dual. It's one of the Slavic languages that have retained many elements of the old Slavic langauge as well as many from Indo-European. Its history goes back to the 10th century.
recorded history*
It already had dialects back then, as it has been determined from the first text in Slovene, the Freising Manuscript.

Some of the Asian languages may sound like memes, but there are plenty of good jobs available for someone who speaks both English and Indonesian well.
Portuguese because Brazil
Spanish because the rest of Latin America
German because it's EU's best
Chinese because China
I'm no expert in Dutch, but the grammar looks like no big deal to me. Looks simpler than German anyway.
I think spanish is a pretty good choice.
First of all, because it's the second most spoken language, so you will be able to interact with a huge number of people.
Besides, spanish is a romance language and knowing it will make it easier to you easier to learn french or italian in the future.
I really can't figure out any better option if you are not trying to learn a specific language because you want to move somewhere or something like that.
