>in japan the multilingual command is regarded as a special, splendid ability
which gifted and highly-educated elites.
what do you think of the thought?
And what's your own situation? I mean, what languages can you use?
>I'm Jap
>I can only speak Japanese fluently and writing and reading English is maybe better than the banal but listening and speaking are shit.
4
what kind of languages?
one is your own mother tangue, one is Hindi, one is English and the final one is…what?
English and moon
Good thread :)
Marathi and konkani. 70 million and 1.7 million speakers
>moon
you live in the satellite?
so you live in the western central of india?
Mumbai
I see.
I read an article about the languages you said on the wikipedia and it says that the speakers of konkani tend to immigrate and thus they have to study the languages of the place where they moved.
I assume you are the typical case.
Nah, I mean, most of us lived on west coast. During the independence, 3 states were formed along the west coast. All 3 states got significant ( 500k+) konkani speakers.
The education depends on state. My state's main language Is Marathi. The other state's Kannada and Malayalam. We had to learn main language of state, two official languages( Hindu and English) and konkani at home.
Its the same everywhere.
One state has one language spoken by majority of the people and 2-4 minority languages. It was always like that.
Google the "konkan" coast
えーマジ月語知らないの?
キモーい
知らないのが許されるのは小学生までだよねー
gotcha.
and when I take what you said above into consideration, I find it out that the speakers of konkani, which is now regarded as just a spoken language (in Goa this seems to be an offical language, but in Munbai not so as you say.), decrease recently(once 500k but now 170k).
How do you feel this?cannot it be helped?
月語ってなんだよあのかぐや姫のクソニートとその一味が話す言葉かよ帰れ東方厨のweeabooめ
Got Dutch, German, English and French in highschool because of "muh tradepartners". Did have a month of Latin and Old Greek but I can't remember anything from that except that I know when something is either Old Greek or Latin based in science names and shit.
It's not that special here, but we all have shitty accents. Even the lowest educated speak somewhat English because of tourism.
500k in the state of Maharashtra.
170 in Mumbai.
>I mean, what languages can you use?
Russian and broken English. I'm always pretending that I know some Jap and French, but not really, except very easy conversations.
>moon
>you live in the satellite?
It's not cool to show how new you are, not even for you, my japanese friend.
with regard to tourism, even in Japan, the poorest nation in command of English, they can more or less make themselves understood.
I heard that the educational system in Europe is different than the one in Japan, for the former is communication-oriented and the latter is interpretation-oriented.
Yes what I said at OP is derived from this system I guess.
Ah I see, that makes sense.
However I still wonder why you used the past tense in the sentence "All three states~speakers" which evoked my conception that the number of the speakers decrease.
wait m8, is it a meme?
oh shit I exposed my newfagness.
Russian is my native language, I surely know English, I also know German. I tried to learn Sanskrit, Finnish and Latin while I was in school, but bailed out (switched to German as it was more useful)
My IQ is above average, I participated in various school contents, my best results are: got #3rd place in Chemistry, 2nd in math, 2nd in phyisics, 1st in computer science. I also participated in city contents (math & physics) and was in top5, and even in region contests in phyisics.
I think I have no issues with languages thanks to good memory & high IQ.
oh and sorry for the typos
マジ知らないのwwwww
うっけるーwww超受けるーwwwwww
もう無理wwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Eбaть ты yмник.
I envy you m8 for your competence.
in Japan(more technically in Japanese mind) what you say sounds too arrogant to hear cos Japanese values modesty, but in this global era it is such persons as you who have the ability and show it to the others propely that matter more.
I haven't talked to a lot of Japanese tourists here as they're afraid of everything. But the ones I talked to are good enough in English. But that's a small sample size from personal experience.
I'am fluent in German, English and Dutch. I can read/write and speak Spanish, but listening is quite hard. Since i know Spanish i also have some knowlege of French, Portugese and Italian.
I can also write and read Greek, Kyrillic, Hangul, Hiragana/Katakana, elder futhark and Arabic - But i can't understand the meaning of the language they are written in.
yep, I am one of nip people afraid to talk with foreigners, and I guess from my own experiences that those who are willing to speak foreign languages are the great persons in that they are educated enough and have the courage to speak without fearing failure.
in this way we may call them the elites who lead the nation.

The key to success is hard work. I don't play video games now and I didn't play back then. I spent 60%-80% of free time either in school's library or I were reading books / journals at home. While I was in school / uni I attended extra courses for subjects that I was interested in.

>inb4 meme languages
true but i like them alot, so i got a degree in "ancient languages and cultures". also i can't use greek infront of greeks because i only know the reconstructed pronunciation and you never know if they get offended by it
English is my native language. I can kind of speak Chinese. I'm learning Spanish and want to learn Italian and Japanese next
Apart from Portuguese and English, I can manage a little bit of Japanese but that's it. I'd like to learn German and French eventually.
>the greek language
>one of the most miserable languages in the world because while about most languages attention is paid to the current one as for this language people never focus on the current but the ancient one.

I've studyed French for 1 year after entering the University of Tokyo but I think that when I can't so much as use English properly how can I succeed in having a command of French.

I guess for sure you use proxy…

Nigger, children can do it, like, just use your brain lol
>entering the University of Tokyo
You would be 0.1% from the top in Japanese in terms of IQ.

I don't think that I'm on the top.
if so, then why can I not use English better?
You're too modest.
Fuck off English teacher.
This case is too special...I cannot be so impertinent.
I'm not and just being an English teacher is shit.

What do you mean by that m8?
It's not worth it. Really.
>are you really fun in such a life without any distractions that looks to the Banal too tiring?
Once you get a job and got decent $$$ it's worth it. You can have fun, lots of fun. For the record, I have JZA80 MT & Z33 MT cars, and sport-tourer bike with FI (yep that stands for forced-induction, I had lots of bikes, including 600cc and 1000cc Japanese sport bikes, I did lots of track days). Two years ago I bought a TIG welder and learnt how to weld. This year I had some practice on a lathe. My next plan is to build DDC/DUC HF transceiver. Does that sound fun?
>well, I think since you are in Sup Forums you are as well weeaboo so in this way you have a distraction to comfort yourself.
I'm not a weeabo (I had to google what does that mean). I'm just bored and decided to learn something new and improve my English by learning new stuff. I'm here for like 2 days and I'm already fed up.
>well, have you studyed abroad?
Nope.
I'm here for the second day and I'm kind of fed up. Same recurring topics and lots of local memes.
Уeбывaй, плaкaть нe бyдeм.
>I'm here for the second day
>Car is fun
OK I understand that you are fond of cars and you like your job to the extent that you regard it as worthy hobby.
your attitude toward permanent improvement is nice.
A user of Sup Forums does not equal to weeaboo.
My eyes are tired and you are mostly right. ;)
>your attitude toward permanent improvement is nice.
It's the only option to keep yourself fit, both mentally and physically.
>Уeбывaй, плaкaть нe бyдeм.

then what's your job?
Since you said your job is so exciting that you think of it as fun, I'm interested in your job.

I wish the intellectual russian comrade would appear again and answer my question.
お前ポルトガル語を勉強した日本人でしょう。
ポルトガル語は流石に知らないわ
日系ポルトガル人の知り合いもいないしな

I have questions for native Japanese citizen as a French-Canadian living in Montreal.
How do you like it where you live? Could you describe the surrounding area?
What do you do to occupy your free time? What do you do to entertain yourself and how do you work on improving yourself?
How is the quality of the food that you're eating? Do you consider it healthy and tasty?
Bitterness aside, how are people bounding together in Japan? Pub? Club?
Do you consider the Japanese youth to be spiritual in any sense? (religious, practice meditation, have a meaning to life other than making money)
If you have any questions you would like to ask back it would be a pleasure of mine to answer so.

How is Finland seen in Japan? Or do you haven an opinion on Finland at all?
I'm asking because we get a lot of Japanese tourists and because of moomin
The Dutch language is very close to English and German. So you aren't exactly a genius if you know them.
Hi Saudade
貴方ご機嫌は如何?
I was born in Hiroshima and now live in Tokyo as a student as I said above.
I like the place, even though there are too much crowd.
My area is the suburban residence land and this is in a way typical scenery of Japanese urban life.
In my case I spend my time in fapping, wasting in sleeping, and playing games and watching anime.
Because of my poverty I cannot enjoy my hobby fully(I love trains and I wish I could enjoy traveling by it).
As for improvement of myself, ah...maybe it is regarded as one method to go to university.
I love Japanese style of cuisine, I fine it tasty.
WHO said once that Japanese traditional dishes are in almost all way healthy and tasty except for excessive amount of salt.
We often gather together and go to some amusement places like "game-center", "karaoke", "Izakaya", casual restaurants and so on.
The Japanese youth make little of religion or other spiritual things seriously.
the so-called JK and Jap girls often look upon prophecies as important(you may have heard ”血液型占い”), but in Japan now religion doesn't have any meaning but the mother of conventions(custom).
As for french-Canadian, I'll ask you whether you have a will to beg for independence of quebec.
For the progressive your institutions seem ideal and a model which should be introduced to Japan asap.
As for Finland, your nation is now being talked about because in the context of comparison of culture in Scandinavia, Moomin is adopted in the National Center Test(this is the primary entrance exam for National University and this is also used for application to private/non-national public universities).
Albanian, English,Spanish,Italian and learning German.
Learned them by TV accidentally.
Never been outside of my country.
>Learned them by TV accidentally.
>accidentally
What do you mean by that?
bien, mon ami. I just wanted to say some greetings to you, that's it. Have some conversation again. bye
Good thread, OP :)
>How do you like it where you live? Could you describe the surrounding area?
1hour from Shinjuku, the center of the Tokyo, by train. Bleak, boring suburban area where buildings are rarely higher than 3 story.
>What do you do to occupy your free time? What do you do to entertain yourself and how do you work on improving yourself?
Posting here or reading books, mainly about history or others. To know we have kept being same idiot animals for centuries and centuries.
>How is the quality of the food that you're eating? Do you consider it healthy and tasty?
Maybe more than most of other countries, but price is not so reasonable. Most inexpensive stuff here would be alcohol, I assure.
>Bitterness aside, how are people bounding together in Japan? Pub? Club?
Unfortunately, I am not a specialist of that category.
>Do you consider the Japanese youth to be spiritual in any sense? (religious, practice meditation, have a meaning to life other than making money)
Never, other than Netouyos or Lefties who devote their lives to subverting their intangible enemies.
>If you have any questions you would like to ask back it would be a pleasure of mine to answer so.
Are you a women?
Oops

We knew it, and in my opinion the language which is closest to ours would be Korean, but most people here, including me, wouldn't learn it somehow.
>application to
>application for
I modified it.
>As for french-Canadian, I'll ask you whether you have a will to beg for independence of quebec.
I believe that we're stronger as a country and should work toward unifying all provincec rather than working on out division.
No I am not.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions!
Seems we have vague sense of affinity to your country. Couldn't explain the reason.
Even the posts here, opinions of Finnish posters would often resonate with our senses somehow, I suppose.
Maybe trains runs faster and Kanto area is larger than you presume.
How is Quebec like?
Are people really good in french there?
so...you live along Tokaido line or Utusunomiya/Takasaki line?
I mean, you live in Odawara-city or some cities in northern saitama or Tochigi, or the secret district of GUNMA?
A place like those ones.
And I don't think Gunma is such a rural area as folks say. It's practically a downtown according to my opinion.
何だあの看板?中国語か
>fucking rural suburban area
to take into consideration the scenery which looks like the residence for lefties, I presume that you live in Suginami-ku(It's joke lol)
It provoke bizarre feelings in my mind to talk with Jap who at least can understand Japanese in English

Only Romanian and English at a native level. I can kinda (but not really) understand spoken Japanese and, with the help of a dictionary, read it too. In school I'd studied French, but it never stuck with me; I can read it though and understand it in written form.
Wish I could learn languages for a living, but I will most likely end up a teacher or something like that.
What do the Japanese think of Romania, other than "muh Dracula", that is if we're even talked about there at all. I heard Shinto Abe's been here recently, dunno the specifics though.
>muh Dracula
