Guys I'm so bored, so I'm thinking about learning a new language. Every single time I start listening to a new band or just hyperfixate on a song, I instantly want to learn that language... but they are usually so difficult 😭

For context: my native language is Polish, I obviously speak English, a little bit of Italian (I understand way more than I speak, but I'm still learning so hopefully that'll change), and I have German at school (but the system is so messed up and they don't teach us anything at all, so I mostly just know how to swear).

Knowing all this, please vote on which language I should actually try to learn next! To help you choose, I looked up how long it theoretically takes to learn each of them according to Google, so choose wisely:

↓

Finnish 🇫🇮 (~1100 hours / around 3 years of daily study)

Lithuanian 🇱🇹 (~1100 hours / around 3 years)

Hungarian 🇭🇺 (~1100 hours / around 3 years)

Albanian 🇦🇱 (~1100 hours / around 3 years)

German 🇩🇪 (~750 hours / around 2 years - maybe time to actually learn it fr?)

Slovak 🇸🇰 (~600 hours / around 1.5 years - closest to Polish)

Voting ended onJun 10

Tade knows polish since he lives near borders

Dasha’s parents are Ukrainian and Russian that moved abroad, but she understands all slavic languages pretty well

And Honza can only speak in german, but really badly

*I cannot speak ukrainian, I translated it w google hsjsjss ‎+ I’ve learned azbuka just on my own so I’m not sure if it’s written well

(My third lenguage was spanish, si si, amigo, mi casa, hermano!)

I feel like dark academia is so focused on Americans that there are stuff that have no sense to a European, what do I mean? Easy, for example I just say a pin that is a repost from here, Tumblr, it said "study the history of the ancient Rome", here in Europe or at least in the countries that have been under that rule that is something so basic, you start learning it at age 7 or 8, it's nothing grand.

"Try learning latin" girl that was a subject at school, and has been compulsory in my country for YEARS, like all my teachers had studied latin, nothing big you know?

These things seem so foreign and stranger and exotic, so cult and majestic to the American eye, that has been cultivated in such a strange way, so isolated historically, I may not be very knowledgeable of all the presidents and so on, but I know more about America and it's history than most Americans on European history.

"Learn about classical composers and their lives", girl, that's how I learned to make PowerPoints, you start learning that in music class in 4th grade or earlier and they make you write about them and color pictures of them in your notebook.

Stuff that seems so basic to me is the nurture of Dark Academia, which at the same time is eurocentric in it's aesthetic mostly, in the buildings, in the art, in the music but is curious about the European culture in an unequivocally American eye.

This is exactly why the aesthetic is tiring to some extent, it looks the same, it's really homogeneous which is kind of what you seek in an aesthetic but that makes it loose the magic and spark that comes with nuance, that is one of the reasons why I love Desi Dark Academia, or Dark Academia focused east Asia or Africa ( I haven't seen much African Dark Academia but it's really interesting, look it up). They are so culturally different and bring so much value to Dark academia as a whole and are often overlooked because the aesthetic "isn't about them" which is so wrong, Dark Academia is for learning and feeling cool while you are at it.

friendly reminder, the hollow knight canonically uses they/them pronouns exclusively

I know anon

But i in fact do not speak English as a first lenguage

I speak italian

Which you should know it's a very gendered lenguage

So i default to he because that's how my brain was trained to work

As you would also know i do use they/them for the vessels

Have a good day

Is English easy to learn?

English grammar is usually easier to conjugate than other languages; It is this simplicity that often confuses speakers of more complex languages, such as Spanish. However, vocabulary is quite a challenge, as English incorporates and modifies words all the time. Did you know that, on average every two hours, a new word is added to English?
