Which languages do you speak? (lemmy-mormonsatan-u23030.vm.elestio.app)

I am a native English speaker and recently started learning Esperanto a few weeks ago. I was inspired by a TED Talk that explained how Esperanto is an excellent first choice for those interested in acquiring multiple languages.

Due to its relative simplicity, learning Esperanto effectively prepares your brain for learning additional languages, making the process quicker and smoother.

So how many here speak different languages and what are they?

Native German, fluent English. I struggled, however, with French, Italian, Spanish, as I just can't wrap my head around it. Languages are super hard for me.

Programming languages, though? I can write about 20 of those. Easy... 🙄

I am jealous fo your programming knowledge. I'd have a lot more money today if I had that skillset!

Yes, that wasn't the worst decision for my career. My family wanted me to concentrate on languages because they are easy for them, but I always struggled, and struggled hard. It took me a long time to realize I was more of a logical thinker than one of the emotional communicators like the rest of them.
