YonicBoom 12/02/18 2:22:18 PM #67:	Language education is miserable business because people think that taking classes is the golden ticket to it. Which isn't true at all, a good language class should technically be enabling you to grow out of going to those classes, but a learner also must enable themselves by seeking out stuff to read/listen to in that language. It's not always fun, and you do have to pay quite a bit up front to get to the "good" parts of most languages, but that initial grind is cheap considering how much media opens up depending on which language you learn. And, speaking will eventually come on its own once you're dealing with it/listening to it/reading it every day. To the point of this thread though, knowing only 1 language sucks if you've ever lived in an environment where 90% of people do know 2+ languages. <cite>YonicBoom posted [p:913416112] in C/D if som...
