[Teri-Teri]

I want to trash talk someone in Tagalog. I mean, it's a colorful language!

Like for example: @Reynard ang bobo mo!

[Webby's Boyfriend]

Besides English, I also read a lot in French and German. I even speak Esperanto and my favourite tongue is Ancient Greek.

Do ye sometimes read or watch something in another language?

 

[rocknrollmartian]

I technically can read in French but very rarely do due to laziness.

 

[Koresh]

Inb4 all the weebs show up and ask if their imported doujinshis count.

German and Russian movies are fucking whack though, and Russian streamers are batshit insane. Even if you don't understand commie, it's worth seeing the highlight reels of them being psychotic dumbasses.

 

[Red Hood]

Speak English or die.

 

[The Cunting Death]

I read in French every once in a while

 

[YourMommasBackstory]

Well i read in Ukrainian sometimes. Doesn't count as foreign tbh since it very simular to my native language.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

Reading a National Geographic article out loud may as well be in another language with all those goofy foreign names.

 

[wylfım]

Struggling through kids books in Chinese is a lot of fun. Technically can also read Romanian but I don't find much gypsy stuff to read in so I'm pretty awful at it. But yeah knowing more languages is a lot of fun.

 

[Papa Adolfo's Take'n'Bake]

I read poetry and sing in Gaelic on occasion.

 

[Mightykiwi]

Speak English or die.

To answer the op, I've picked up Japanese as a hobby. It's a pain in the ass, but it's fun in its own way.

 

[Crichax]

I play games in Korean on occasion. I've picked up a few words from the Korean version of Zelda: BOTW.

 

[a feel]

All the time.

 

[Underestimated Nutria]

parallel texts is the easiest way to learn a foreign language, at least one with some similarity to one's own.

i am basically trying to exclusively read in my weak languages so I can say I'm doing something with my free time other than just whiling away time with sci fi or whatever.

i can give a brief description of the method to anyone interested but it's pretty simple; unfortunately I have no speaking ability in languages learned this way.

 

[LobotomizedFerret]

Doing it right now.
