      That is so cool you got Portuguese as a number one favorite! I never would’ve taken you for a Portuguese speaker never would’ve guessed but man it’s such a strong language much like it’s older sibling, Spanish. But despite their similarities I always viewed them as their own separate nation and not solely for their indifference to Spain but as an independent. Just a remarkable language absolutely love hearing it when it’s spoken.

      Lots of forums on quora cover the language. Lots of people talk about it want to know it and so forth. Just so inspiring to see this video thanks 🙋🏽‍♂️for sharing! 😎

    Olly , you’re so right. Learning languages is definitely an eye opener. I practice 30-60 minutes daily on many Western European languages. It’s so much fun plus when I travel there the connections one makes with locals is so much more authentic. In May I will be riding my bicycle in the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Germany. So excited to be able to practice the languages there.

      Everyone already knows about Spanish

    • @Sonicstillpoint83 says:

      You’re confusing something that will allow you to speak to numerically more people with something that has résumé utility, and therefore will increase your pay. Because there are so many native speakers coming to the United States, there’s no reason that an employer who needed it would choose someone who has been trying to learn a language for a year over someone, who just moved here and speaks it as their native language. Spanish is 100% useless vocationally in the United States. I minored in Spanish 20 years ago and it doesn’t peak anyone’s interest as much as my German major because it’s just not as common. German has never been absolutely necessary, but the International German speakers always smile and appreciated, even though they all can speak English. If you want to enjoy Spanish, cultural content, then you should really learn Portuguese, because Portuguese speakers can understand Spanish, but not the other way around. Once you know, Portuguese, I’ve been told that there is a three step process to convert your Portuguese to intelligible Spanish, which I’d like to figure out someday for fun. Stretching your brain with any foreign language is better than nothing, so find something that makes you feel excited rather than something you hope will give you a Pay bump down the road. Find a way to seamlessly use any language in your everyday life in a way that she wouldn’t consider studying. In the early 2000s, I changed my voicemail box to Spanish and then used the German installer for computer programs that I already knew how to use so that I would passively be exposed to the language as I did things. MySpace and Facebook both had interface settings that would allow you to change the language. Even though the Internet isn’t really coded like that anymore, you could still try looking around specific site settings.

      I’m Brazilian and I’m saying that BRAZIL listed as “to boost your career” is a joke. Since 2012 we can’t grow anymore. Almost ALL other emergent countries are growing and ALL other ASIAN emergent countries are growing. In the third quarter of 2022 Brazil’s GDP “grew” at a rate of 0.4%. Vietnam’s GDP in the same period grew at 13,67%. In the year of 2022 Vietnam grew at 8.2%. Brazil only 2.9%. In 2023 Vietnam grew at 5.05% and Brazil also at 2.9%. And even those 2 and so percent are misleading. Mostly due to the agrobusiness. Industry in Brazil in fact CONTRACTED in this period.

      ​ @andybliss5965 According to a quick Google search, 3 billion people speak more than one language and there are only 600k translators, the question is how AI will affect learning and using languages for the 99% of people who aren’t translators.

      Ai is rapidly getting better at coding (Devin, AlphaCode2) so even coding might not be as future-proof as many people think.

      Combining a variety of skills might work best. Like becoming a dog trainer who can teach commands in 20 languages and uses prompt engineering, content creation and e-commerce skills to find clients and sell products.

    I’m from Indonesia, but I spoke English more fluently as a kid than I was in my mother tongue; I can speak it now but people point out that I sound stiff or like a foreigner😅

    I began studying in the Netherlands back in 2020, during corona times which means most lectures and practicals were online, and in my spare time I began learning Dutch, since it’s the language of our colonizers and that most of the vocabulary in the Indonesian language is Dutch-based (e.g. “kamar” from “kamer”, “kulkas” from “koelkast”, “pensiun” from “pensioen”, etc. ); I’m also learning German and French afterwards cause I’m planning on a road trip after my studies. I never knew learning Dutch could be so helpful, since I initially believed Dutch is commonly spoken in the Netherlands and Flanders in Belgium, and that it could open up job markets in countries where it’s not commonly spoken. You really open my eyes to a world of possibilities.

    P.S. at 10:24 he mentioned how Dutch is also spoken in Asia, and I immediately thought of Indonesia, which is funny because even though we were under Dutch colonial rule for 350 years we don’t even speak the language.
