i guess someone should tell all the asian immigrants i know who came here at 10yo-ish that their english is not flawless
doesn't matter, i'm raising babby trilingual (thought about 4, but i don't really want to speak different languages inside and outside the home when wife is gone) from birth so no skin off my back if i'm wrong
also your summary of the article is nonresponsive

Are you seriously considering Chinese? It should be Spanish.
Get a Spanish nanny, but not a low class shitty one. Just a Colombian student who speaks nice, clean Spanish and ask her to talk to him in Spanish all the time. Avoid Dominican and Puerto Ricans, their Spanish is fucked up.

Okay, was just told that it's culture beyond that and communicating with her parents in the meantime.
She doesn't disagree with you otherwise, although she's skeptical with how shitty Google Translate is now.
Sometimes I'll type sexual things into Google Translate and have it read them back to her in Mandarin and she just laughs. Last time she was asking me what I typed in about the "King of France" when there was nothing about that in the English.

This is extremely easy French, but you wouldn't be able to answer basic questions about it.

For a Better Brain, Learn Another Language
The cognitive benefits of multilingualism
There’s a certain sinking feeling one gets when thinking of the perfect thing to say just a moment too late. Perhaps a witty parting word could have made all the difference. There is no English word to express this feeling, but the French have the term l’esprit de l’escalier—translated, “stairwell wit”—for this very phenomenon.
Nor is there an English word to describe the binge eating that follows an emotional blow, but the Germans have kummerspeck—“grief-bacon”—to do just that. If we had the Swedish word lagom—which means something is just right—the English explanation of Goldilocks’ perfectly temperate soup could have been a lot more succinct. Or the term koi no yokan, a poetic Japanese turn of phrase that expresses the feeling of knowing that you will soon fall in love with the person you have just met. It’s not love at first sight so much as an understanding that love is inevitable. Keats and Byron could have really used a word like that.
There are many words that English speakers don’t have. Sometimes Anglophones take from other languages, but often, we have to explain our way around a specific feeling or emotion that doesn’t have its own word, never quite touching on it exactly.
“The reason why we borrow words like savoir faire from French is because it’s not part of the culture [in the United States] and therefore that word did not evolve as part of our language,” says George Lakoff, a professor of cognitive science and linguistics at the University of California at Berkeley.
Multi-linguals are more perceptive to their surroundings and better at focusing in on important information. It’s no surprise Sherlock Holmes was a skilled polyglot.
“Speaking different languages means you get different frames, different metaphors, and also you’re learning the culture of the language so you get not only different words, but different types of words,” Lakoff told me.
But the benefits of speaking multiple languages extend past just having access to different words, concepts, metaphors, and frames.
Multilingualism has a whole slew of incredible side effects: Multi-linguals tend to score better on standardized tests, especially in math, reading, and vocabulary; they are better at remembering lists or sequences, likely from learning grammatical rules and vocabulary; they are more perceptive to their surroundings and therefore better at focusing in on important information while weeding out misleading information (it’s no surprise Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot are skilled polyglots). And there’s certainly something to be said for the cultural pleasure of reading The Odyssey in ancient Greek or Proust’s In Search of Lost Time in French.

grew up with three languages from different families then learned a fourth from a different family when i lived abroad
just really grinds my gears when ppl are like "i know a romance language so i guess i speak five of them" bc it's the most bizarre, niche type of striverdom, trying to up your language tally artificially
if that's not the case w/you, i'm sorry bro - we are FRIENDS
xo is poison :/

I was at high A2/low B1. I spent every spare moment there systematically engaging myself with Italian, and I have an excellent short to intermediate term memory. Plus, as I said, I had a high level of Latin, French, and to a lesser extent, Spanish, under my belt that gave me a good scaffolding.

This guy, who speaks and reads more languages than I ever will, had the same experience with Italian and Danish after studying other Romance and Germanic languages.

"Oh hai, I speak Latin, hire me?"
"No, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, French, German or Japanese. None? Ding fag."
"Ok I will write a blog in Latin that only "scholars" will read."
TY dad.

If you can tell us the purpose of learning Greek and Latin, we can talk. Otherwise, you might as well teach him any other useless discipline for the sake of "learning".
People learn languages to be able to communicate with people, and largely to communicate for commercial purposes, unless you're going as a tourist to a place where most people speak English and you won't even use your skills.
But then again, you're the expert here, so enlighten us.

"Yeah, Greek and Latin are for old money people who will never need a language in a job or to network with foreigners."
Nope. Just for people lucky enough to grow up in countries where they defecate in toilets instead of the street and can live comfortably without having to move to another hemisphere. Again, you are thinking of things in excruciatingly pragmatic terms. About a fifth to a quarter of the population of Wales can speak Welsh--a share that has increased--despite the fact that it's only spoken in that part of the world, but I doubt a fifth of the population are "old money" that don't have to worry about jobs.
And as the poaster below me said, there's still a desire to keep languages--particularly ones that serve as the basis of or are at least relevant to your culture--alive, and even if it is impractical it's certainly not valueless.

"Yeah that's great I already addressed the fact that some people don't give a fuck about networking..."
You said you didn't care about talking to the brown person who mows your lawn, that's different, so don't be retarded here.
We get it, you'll never network with foreigners in the US. When you say "some people" are you speaking for the majority of Americans? If so, that's quite interesting, lol.
Why don't you just tell us what second language you speak, how much and how often you use it (whether to read plays, or for whatever purpose), how good you speak it (you have to practice it a lot to be able to speak it well, so how do you practice it) and what benefits has it brought to your life?

Actually, I won the argument. See, you can't even back yourself up, you're speechless. Pathetic and very lulzy, so ty.
I found the article below very interesting. Maybe you can address the article instead of addressing a poster so you don't end up so maf you can barely take your next breath. Here, there are 5 reasons for learning a language that you have not even considered: 1. Student Interest, 2. Career Plans, 3. Cultural Awareness, 4. Cultural Heritage, 5. World Travel.
The fact that you cannot calmly discuss the subject and have to have a BF (bitch fit) about it, says a lot about you. Sorry about your 10,000 hrs spent learning Latin, which you barely have time to keep up with today, LJL.
Article starts here:
Although it is true that many people speak Spanish in our country, Spanish may not be the most suitable language to study if the student does not choose a career in which he/she will interact with Spanish-speaking people, does not yet know what career to pursue, or does not expect to reside in an area with a large Hispanic presence. Consequently, the following should also be kept in mind:
1. Student Interest
If a student is interested in taking one language, for whatever reason, that is probably the best language for him/her to take. Students who are made to take a language other than their “preferred” language tend to do less well in the language chosen for them.
2. Career Plans
All four languages are good for the global economy in which we live. For example, France, Germany and Mexico rank among the top importers of American goods and services. Banking and telecommunications companies are most likely to expect prospective employees to understand international affairs; investment banking and agricultural enterprises most often indicate an interest in second-language abilities.
French and German are also important in such fields as medicine, science, psychology, and the arts. Latin continues to serve as a basis for a common international legal and scientific language. Spanish is also important if career plans include working in healthcare, banking, law enforcement, manufacturing, etc., in vicinities with a large Spanish-speaking population.
3. Cultural Awareness
Although all four languages provide students with a broader cultural perspective, French language/culture has probably had a bigger influence on art and cuisine, while German language/culture has probably had a bigger influence on music. Since English is a Germanic language, German helps with the study of Shakespeare and older English works.
In contrast, there is a higher probability of finding French words used in contemporary English-language writings. The study of Latin is the study of Roman and Greek Civilization – the foundations on which all Western societies are based.
4. Cultural Heritage
Many students choose a foreign language based on their ethnic background. Students who live in homes where a language other than English is spoken or whose grandparents or other relatives speak a foreign language should certainly consider studying that language. It should be noted that simply being able to speak or understand the language does not necessarily mean that one is able to read or write it.
5. World Travel
Of course, travel to French-, German- and Spanish-speaking lands is greatly facilitated by knowing the respective languages of these countries. But what if one goes to a country where these languages are not spoken? Latin students have found that they can read their way through many Romance language countries, and any second language knowledge increases likelihood of communicating with non-English speakers.
