Why do they make fun of people online (and irl) who try to learn their language?

Clean up your backyard first, poor cunt.

I just like it and the culture and history of France. But it's just hard to actually practice with them either meme-ing me to my face (in a non joking way) or talking shit behind my back.

Because languages can be divided into 3 separate categories depending on the reaction learning them evokes in their native speakers.

>Category 1:
Obscure and more minor languages with speakers who don't tend to learn foreign languages themselves. (Example: Italian, Yoruba, Burmese)
Reaction: Enthusiasm

>Category 2:
Major world and auxiliary language where speakers expect nothing less than fluency (French, English)
Reaction: Arrogance and strong irritation

>Category 3:
Minor languages with speakers who tend to learn foreign languages themselves. (Example: Dutch, German, Scandinavian languages)
Reaction: Indifference to mild annoyance.

This is so fucking true you can't believe. Though there are exceptions. I've met Frenchmen who were more than happy to speak French with me and I'm personally glad to help foreigners wanting to learn Swedish.

>I've met Frenchmen who were more than happy to speak French with me and I'm personally glad to help foreigners wanting to learn Swedish.

The reason for this is that you are an active language learner right now. Those people usually tend to appreciate any effort since they are in the same boat.

>No yoooooouuu
You have to be 18 to post here.

Because it makes them feel like they're at the centre of their little universe when in reality no one gives a shit.

Are you talking about the English?

Thanks for the perspective. It makes a lot of sense

according to them, If you ain't african you ain't got no business in learning their language. Bunch of smug tards they are

There is however light at the end of the tunnel my fellow French learners. If you are currently studying one of those major auxiliary language that sometimes evoke negative reactions you should know that this is just a temporary phenomenon. The moment you have mastered one of those languages (high C levels) then it's like you have flipped a switch and you will induce a sense of inferiority because suddenly you are a multilingual person while they are just monolingual plebs which puts you instantly above them.

You're congolombian, you'd fit right in

>If you ain't african you ain't got no business in learning their language.
Are you memeing or is this true? I would thing a lot of the French don't like Africans learning their language. Maybe I've just been on Yas Forums too much though.

>The reason for this is that you are an active language learner right now. Those people usually tend to appreciate any effort since they are in the same boat.
True.

>then it's like you have flipped a switch and you will induce a sense of inferiority because suddenly you are a multilingual person while they are just monolingual plebs which puts you instantly above them.
Based. I'd say I'm high A/borderline B at this point. But I won't stop learning

>houga bouga
I kek'd
thinkgen of learning french in the coming years, not sure what for but I feel like it can't hurt

You will never actually learn the language without having someone to speak to and practice with tho.

we put a lot of money into the welsh language desu, we even run a tv channel that no one watches

scots gaelic was killed by other scots

I'll find someone. I just have to use one of those language exchange apps maybe

Ok. I had the luck of having a french speaking relative to practice with on a weekly basis. But a language exchange app is always something. Just make sure to be consistent and practice on actually speaking the language. Making your own sentences.

You'll never get fluent if you've only practiced reading, listening and writing. You need to speak it. Regularily.

we put a lot of money into the Corsican language desu, we even run a tv channel that no one watches, Corsica Sera.

i feel like it also depends on culture

i mean spanish is a major world auxilliary language but when i was learning it, all the spanish speakers i met (i should note that i'm referring to exchange students from mexico, uruguay and chile) were very enthusiastic to talk with me in it despite them speaking almost perfect english. maybe it's also cause i'm in a country where it's less common to be multilingual though

that's pretty comfy, but isn't corsican just an italian dialect?

you, of all people, would know why. foreigners sound fucking awful
except russians. they can speak proper portuguese

>Corsica Sera
Huh, is that funded by la collectivité territoriale?

Anglos inventing things on France, what's new?

/fr/ is very nice. I always post there though to learn french. I don't understand what you mean

You need to calm down with the freedom fries user.

as ironic as this sounds given the context of this thread, damn you niggas really can't speak english for shit lmao

>i mean spanish is a major world auxilliary language

Not true. Spanish is not a major auxiliary language. Check the native/non-native ratio for Spanish.

Because living around Africans make you feel like the good old colonial times.

Indeed, just like Spain, Italy or even Japan. At least we have historical excuses.

>Because living around Africans make you feel like the good old colonial times.
Except this time, the Algerians are colonizing you :)

French are easily the most open people to others learning their language and are surprisingly okay with someone making grammatical (but not pronunciation) mistakes
Germans flip out and get really nasty if you make a very mild grammatical error, especially if you're American

What is this all about "inventing". Is this supposed to be broken English?

it's quite sweet

I don't think they know that it's broken.

French are very polite. I have no idea where the rude French stereotype comes from.

Where did you go in Germany?

Making up stuff.

Tell that to boomers,they are the deluded ones.

Hola Julian

>""Make stuff up" what does this means? It >means to invent or create things. If you say >something that you made up, it's a lie and it's >not real. Children might make up a play, a >story or a game, and that just means they are >creating stuff."
Borken but not that broken.

fuck french, honestly. they are very scummy people. take up Spanish. believe me Spanish speakers are usually happy when someone tries to learn their language

Inventing something is not quite the same thing as making something up. Making something up implies you're lying or fantasizing. Inventing something means that you've created an invention, such as a car or a theory.

Just because you have a similar word in French doesn't mean that inventer = inventing

I associate french with bad body odour
Same goes with the dutch

It literally says it means to invent or create things, includign lies. So yes maybe it's not used but it seems valid enough.

France is the only truly european country.

not for english

We don't think about you at all

i associate german with nazism and scat porn

It is not used that way. "Stop inventing things!" sounds like you're mad at someone for being a scientist.

still, "invent" in english usually means that you create something entirely new like a type of machine, and "on" would only be used in this context when referring to the day on which you said it, you meant to use "about"

i have to admit that i didn't understand what you meant at all when i first read it

Ok sorry, I thought it was close enough. The problem is there's many common words but sometimes it's not used in the same way.

lol hahaha tu t'es tapé la honte mongolo lmaoooo
retourne sur le 18-25 sucer la bite à Soral fils de viol, apprend l'anglais au passage pédé tarlouze bouffeur de noeud hahahahaha

This sounds gay as fuck. That being said French is one of the ugliest languages of Europe.

Pourquoi être si méchant? Pourquoi pas apprendre l'Anglais? Je ne comprends pas...

bah, tu es un cretin.

Très bien mon kp1, tu as appris un peu plus! Je sais que c'est difficile à apprendre des langues étrangères. Bonne nuit, dors bien.
