Most of the European countries teach English as a second language.

Start with Esperanto. It's easy to learn and makes other languages easier to learn. Also it's rumored that Esperanto is the preferred language of the Globalist. That is just a rumor, of course.

Very! They are not linguistically related to any other major languages. Best thing, like with any language, is to go for immersion by living in the country for a year or so and avoiding speaking English for the majority of the time there.

Esperanto is about as dead in the water as the Titanic. It was a 'thing' 40 years ago or so but the movement has died out.

But it's worth it.

The best way to learn a language is through pillow lessons.

Thank God the rest of the civilized world still has a decent educational system, as opposed to preaching about 47 different genders.



PS - I apologize for utilizing the term "preaching; that's such an incendiary term to some.

Same here, but Italian is a Latin-rooted language (Romance language), phonetic, and relatively easy to pick up even for an English speaker. Polish and Hungarian, on the other hand, are about as difficult as they look. How do you even begin to pronounce all of those consonants in a row in Polish words?!?!

Category I: 23-24 weeks (575-600 hours)
Languages closely related to English


Spanish

Category IV: 44 weeks (1100 hours)
Languages with significant linguistic and/or cultural differences from English

Hungarian
Polish

Hungarian is more difficult than Polish though.

When I studied Russian, which is another catagory IV, it all felt fairly intuitive. It’s much easier when you have to speak the language in your daily life though.

And in Russian you have to learn your ABCs all over again, this time as the Cyrillic alphabet. A lot harder when you're not 4-5 years old.

Thinking how Poland should perhaps be a real world power. Gonna do a Hearts Of Iron 4 run where Poland wins WWII.

Already did one for Estonia in deference to this guy.

Maybe you can find a hot eastern euro chick willing to overlook your personality disorder for the green card when you inevitably come back

Yes :)

I think I learned it the way I taught myself to read? If that makes sense? I would recognize whole words, and understand what they meant, before anything else.
