Tired of all this pumpkin and plastic skeleton crap everywhere. Thanks, marketing ghouls rage-cry

What, are we going to start celebrating the 4th of July next? Might as well with the NATO membership I guess

This is why learning additional European languages other than english should be banned in the third world

If everyone just agrees to use ESL as a global language of communication, every single language can be preserved, since being bilingual is pretty easy

Pretty easy for most people, maybe

I think it's easy for everyone if they're actually raised bilingual. I'm comfortably bilingual despite never being taught, and picking up on what my parents were saying, I think with how widespread english is it would be hard not to be bilingual in it tbh.

it's actually famously difficult to learn a language. A lot of people do not come from multi language households

which is why they'd be brought up in bilingual households (everybody speaks english)

do you want to take kids away from their parents based on which language they speak because that actually might be genocide

[-] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

obviously not, I'd just make english a mandatory second language taught in schools

I don't know about you but my language schooling was basically a joke
