Force everyone to learn all languages ez

#14939

Do you ever think in English btw?

#14940

You can’t just merge like 1000 languages into one and have something coherent.

#14941

It’s for relativising the statement even more

#14942

More so than in Dutch presently. We have a bigger anglicized culture.

#14943

Fine let’s just make a new language that works and everyone can pronounce and stuff and force everyone to learn that language

#14944

Oh so did you learn Dutch when you was growing up but now you know more English?

#14945

Also you can talk dutch and I’ll understand it, only with my german (+english) knowledges. These languages are too close.

Okay, but it’s based on Dutch.

They tried that, it’s Esperanto.

#14949

Then why didn’t they actually try to get goverments to force people to learn it

#14950

I prefer Interlingua

let me guess

I knew English from quite a young age from video games mostly. Dutch is just my native language, but I’m basically equally skilled as a native in English presently.

Don’t mind me, just waiting to snatch the cookie

It’s strange what video games motivate you to do
Like learning my aunts phone number on heart for a Pokémon game

I was always a huge enemy of the english language, so don’t mind my crude grammar ^^

#14956

Can we talk about how confusing other languages are to us English speakers?
