I arrived in Munich a few hours ago, it's like 6pm now. I got in at like 1:30.
Also, man Smaz or like anyone else; I know you want to learn some new languages over the next few years and stuff, so if you want to learn one of these outside Uni; I have 5 that I want to start learning before I am finished my degree in order to maximise my job opportunities in the Civil Engineering sector.
The 4/5 I want to learn are chosen to maximise my career experience so they may not sound like the most common chosen languages but knowing these 6/7 languages is like a massive help in the world of international business which is what I will be doing if I do Project Management work for an international company.
SO I already have English and almost fluent German, on top of these, I want to learn Arabic, Mandarin, Spanish or Portuguese depending on , Hindi and then the 5th one, I am trying to chose between Japanese and French.
haha awesome! languages are a really good way to get ahead but only in large-enough scale projects (ie international). but I heard somewhere once that speaking foreign languages really helps you get into things like that.
ReplyDeleteI also wanna learn a tonne of languages but idk which ones to pick or how to find time to learn them.
over university I'm gonna do italian*, spanish and chinese, but it was hard picking between chinese and japanese. I want to know both at some point, maybe, but then again japanese is like white-man's asian so idk. I already know italian at a conversational level and I'm getting pretty close to fluent as well but I want to keep it up a bit I guess
so basically:
I already have english and italian,
I'm gonna do italian, spanish and chinese in uni
on top of that I want to learn dutch/afrikaans, japanese, portugese, russian
plus I can already read and understand most of french, romanian and portugese
I guess I have a weird thing for the IE languages but whatever
I would like to know japanese eventually but I think particularly in terms of infrastructure, the chinese will have a more lucrative industry there.
ReplyDeleteI have done 8 years of french so that's like partially ok, if 1 if fuck all and 10 is fluent, I could pull off a 7 with a bit of work.
ReplyDeleteomg guys it would be so funny if like in 5 years we got together and had chinese conversations. like how funny would that be.
ReplyDeleteThat would be hirarious
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking, it would be fun to randomly change language, although I can do that now with some people...
