Am I making a mistake if I stop studying Chinese right now?
It's been two long years of studying until I have an A2/B1 level. Honestly, I don't care anymore. I'm tired of it and I'm not motivated either. I did it for the money. I'm switching to German instead. More opportunities long term. I can study and live in Germany. I can't do that in China.
I wish you the best of luck user
You sound underage
ching chong ching chong eat dog nigga cat
I'm 22. I studied Chinese because my parents paid the course. But I want to stop.
Wtf?
>More opportunities long term.
Really?
Yeah, Germany offers free education, and it's a developed first world country.

Laughed so fucking hard. Thank you. Saved.
I believe that studying one language, increases your ability to learn languages in general, as whole skill on it's own.
So, don't be tricked into thinking that you've wasted your time user. The past led you up to this moment, and gave you the accumulated knowledge you needed now to be able to make necessary changes.
No
You best keep studying Chinese.
This is true. I never really understood my native language properly until I studied foreign languages.
If you're tired of it and unmotivated, you probably wouldn't succeed even if you kept trying. It's a horrible situation when you feel committed to learning some subject that you really don't care for, and can't see any use for.
Another good point. Very insightful. The more points of reference there are, the more complexly interconnected the system becomes.
Why the fuck would anyone put energy into learning to speak to insects?
It might help for user to learn other Asiatic languages but will only help a very small amount for German. Something about Germans and their culture makes them the only people who can be fluent without ever being immersed in a language. Their English literacy is ridiculously high so that's probably the most useless language to learn as far as opening doors.
I wanted to go to New Zealand as an exchange student but figured it would be a bit of a waste not learning a language so I chose France. I met my now wife there so I guess I chose well.
But you're not thinking about the parts of the brain and mind that are responsible for associating meaning with new forms. The more practice they get, the better they get. There is also such a thing as being "worldly".
LOL
If Germans are so good at learning, I would try learning their language to try and get into their mind and understand the way they think so that it could be applied to other languages.
mach was du willst schwuchtel
die asiatinen würden dich mehr wollen wenn du eh eine echte sprache kennen
habe mich selbst deutsch beigebracht innerhalb eines jahr wegen coron-scheiß
Yes I am I did admit that it would help a little but it's not like learning one romantic language then learning another. Sure any sort of learning helps learning anything else but the closer they are the more it helps.
I'd take a guess that's it's mostly discipline and adherence to order but there's no science to that just cultural observances. If it's a culture that interests you go for it. As the other user said being worldly is a good thing. Unfortunately for me I moved back to the USA to a small town shithole and just couldn't relate to people there who had never even left the state in their lives.
Do what you want fag
The Asians...
Coronashit
Well, at least I understood something lol
>the closer they are the more it helps.
I agree.

Being reminded of this truly makes me thankful for the internet. Though, isolation is sometimes necessary. After all you are only as good as what you tolerate.
