Negative fricks.
If you are going to go to the effort of learning something like a new language, I don’t see the benefit of choosing one that the native speaker can speak your language better than you could ever speak theirs. That is, a waste of time.
And as almost anyone that has learned a second language can attest, the only way you can truly learn to be conversant is to, you know, have conversations. You got to go to both of those places in order to do that.
I’m Finnished with this foolishness

If I go with either, it'd be my fourth language. I'm quite good at Russian and German and have managed to find native speakers to talk to. I've been back and forth with Mandarin, as soon as I make progress I lose interest and back off. Yes it's a bad habit. Neither Welsh or Finnish would be useful in Texas, but they're both truly unique. People here hear that you know something like Finnish or Russian they're like "wow"... if you tell them you speak Spanish, you're just like everyone else. Hope this makes sense.
And thank you very much for taking the time to give me some pointers on this subject. Kiitos! Diolch! Vielen Dank!
