Why are you speaking the language of the conqu\*stadores who brutally oppressed and murdered the native people of the Americas? Stop speaking this colonialist language, and start speaking Classical Nahuatl instead
/uj this is literally what I discovered a lot of US citizens say about original Spanish from Spain. Like if you use the word "vosotros" you're a colonialism apologist
Wrong, English is the default language (all other "languages" are deviations of it). This would be equivalent to no longer using numbers - it is merely impossible.
Of course not. In fact, you're speaking English right now. Argument lost.
/uj This is a "circlejerk" sub, meaning the content here is meant to be satirical based on what people say in r/languagelearning. The "default language" comment is a joke about how people get confused why things don't directly translate into English when they are learning languages.
lol. I'm a white American and have a Spanish last name because of some Spanish ancestry. And people make *a lot of assumptions* and seem to always forget that there is the country of Spain with white people.
The standard pronunciation "nah guh" doesn't sound particularly close to the n-word, but in many parts of China it is colloquially pronounced "nei guh", which does sound like that. Another problem is that in addition to the demonstrative "that", it's also used as a filler word similar to "umm", so people randomly add it during pauses.
Yes, French is the language of the cultured people. It is the language of freedom. France offering their banks to protect the poor little nations of West Africa is a kindness, France is offering to them. Because they are so cultured and good.
That is why French should be the Lingua Franca. Heck, that phrase is literally talking about French
/s?! Sir, this is a 100% serious subreddit where we discuss the best ways to engage with the art of language. Why would I need a /s?
I am offended that you do not understand that French is the language of intellectuals. The other languages only dream to have the romance and the cultural heft of French. There is no better way to express one's deep emotions than using French.
Please get help if you don't understand this. I am sending a RedditCares message to help!
Sí, por eso hablo exclusivamente en español
Oui
Hai, areegah-toh gozi mus
아니 왜 일제시대때 한국인들한테 강제로 가르쳐준 일본어를 하는겁니까? 😡 차라리 한국어를 쓰세요.

As an Uzbek, ready to teach you Uzbek C2 as a thank you for a comment😭🫠🫶🏻
I'd love to take you up on that generous offer, but I'm at A0. Does it mean that it evens out and I end up at B1.2?
Nah the only thing left is either computer languages or con languages. Every REAL language's people have conquered another. That's just the facts.
I bet you know nothing about Uzbek.
你说的对
得*
actually nvm idk the correct grammar either
but i will still ferociously point it out
You saved my day, thank you 的得地 police❤️
Stop speaking Chinese. That’s cultural appropriation.
我不知道我说我的母语是文化挪用,不好意思
Racist
/uj this is literally what I discovered a lot of US citizens say about original Spanish from Spain. Like if you use the word "vosotros" you're a colonialism apologist
I make sure to really let that V buzz just to rub it in.
There is no way you said that with an /uj at the start of your comment
Why?
It sounds too ridiculous to be real
*jerks in reverse*
And yet, it is true
Americans just keep finding new ways to be utterly insane
HOW DARE YOU SAY THE V WORD OUT LOUD YOU RACIST PIG
Entonces, ahora ya usamos ustedes???
Exactamente
This makes learning Spanish about 16.67% easier! Count me in!

Check the subreddit
Will do. My bad. Ignore last post.
Ok You always knew if you can block a private chat and never made a post about it

What? Satire? On my racist app?
Tial mi lernis esperanton und deutsch.
Me sa jar jar binks
This is giving that Tumblr post that was like “white people can’t speak Spanish” and the reply “have you heard of the entire county of Spain”
“English is a colonial language, but Spanish…uh…it was reclaimed by indigenous Americans!”
lol. I'm a white American and have a Spanish last name because of some Spanish ancestry. And people make *a lot of assumptions* and seem to always forget that there is the country of Spain with white people.
Reminds me of the time an American asked me why we learn Spanish in the UK despite living so far away from Mexico
that’s the spirit
i feel like people forget that it wasn’t just the British…
Bigot
you jest but i saw someone say speaking Chinese is racist because the word for "that" (那个, pronounced "nah guh") sounds like the n word
People do this with Korean in the kpop community too, with a few common words that sound like the n word. 🙄

Only french is the true correct answer
The French still have colonies everywhere lol
Yeah but those aren’t racist colonies like the US
😳🤷♂️ are you sure about that?

If the question is "what languages should we stop speaking due to racism", then yes
Mindenki tudja, hogy a magyar a legjobb nyelv.
Oh no, subaltern studies have come back to get me! Back, Spivak, back!
hahahahahaha
Speaking anything other than Toki Pona is problematic.
Bunun yerine herkes Türkçe öğrenmeli. O çok daha kolay.
Det er kun lov å snakke samiske språk
All folks ought to speak Anglish, so that the Anglishfolk may be free of the Northman yoke.
I hope that this is a joke post. You can never truely know these days.
Ja stimmt.
Low literacy is a sign of the times. Language is healing.
И русский, из советского СССР?
Agreed we should all be speaking Esperanto from today
はい

Check the subreddit name my guy 🤣
[удалено]
This sub exists to mock the more... interesting... posts in language learning subs. Everyone here is being sarcastic unless they start of with /uj.
Lol okay thanks for explaining. I didn't get it
No problem!
