Just English. I feel like it's a waste of time to learn a language I'm never going to use, and if you don't speak it all the time you just forget anyway.
@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays I studied French years ago and kind of just dropped it. Recently I studied it again and was surprised how much I remembered.
I must admit though, reading and writing and to a lesser extent, speaking are way easier than trying to decipher when I hear it.
Awesome. Learning Japanese has been way more fun than initially thought it would be. I plan on learning another after it, but not specific ones in mind atm. @HannibalAteMeOut
I speak several European languages, and I would [u]love[/u] to learn the Arabic language. I was in Tunisia several times, and my French was very helpful; it would be so great to speak to those incredibly friendly people in their own native language.
@Jacko1971 Yes. When people say they speak German, they really mean they speak Standard German, which is taught in schools. But there are also regional German dialects, which are totally different from the standard form. In Switzerland, dialect is so common that it's even in media.
That’s unfortunate. I’ve read that immersion helps a lot, so like watching shows or reading books exclusively in the language you’re learning, even when you don’t fully understand it. If you ever decide to learn again maybe that method could help you. @Jacko1971
