I fucking hate learning languages.

I know a lot of people can't get enough of language learning; they speak like 10 languages and it is their life passion. I don't understand. That's a lot of fucking words to memorize. A lot of grammatical rules, and a shitload of exceptions and special cases. I don't see how it is challenging or enlightening; it just seems tedious to me.

The reward of opening the door to the true unedited culture of another people is the main drive behind mosts linguists that know more then one other language, translations always fail to capture the real essence of a languages own special words and meanings.

I suppose that is true. The reason I started studying was because there are so many opps for multilingualism. But I just don't think it's my thang.

I'm learning my fourth language now. After that i'm finished, it's just so I can get around in the world. Dutch, French, English, bit of german and Spanish.
Other then that, screw languages yes

I really wish I learnt a 2nd language when I was a child when my mind was a sponge.
Learning French as an adult is quite challenging, especially when I'm vaping daily 
The chicks really love it
