Anyone learn a language from being in a NW regiment?
See Video games are USEFUL
Take that parents
Template: For Czech I joined 56e and got to a basic 10 minute conversation level of very basic ideas. Barely A1
For french joined 45e and was a huge game changer in being able to practice and gain motivation for learning french. As well as a lot of funny conversations.
Learning Czech I also found out my love for eastern europe and slovaks as well
.
One of my best friends "Shout out to achless" is a ceske kluci (Czech boy). And it was a awesome experience being in that group of awesome people.
Learning french was a whole different experience in the IVe. For sure a few rude people when I attempted to speak french, and I found them to be overall less enthusiastic and friendly. However, ive come to learn this is most likely because the french in general have a high respect for their language and while some are very happy you decide to learn, other can be quite harsh.
Though my boi aurde and syrcium as well as others in the 45e and IVe were the main reason why my french is about a A2 level now.
At the moment my next adventure is off learning Russian (For school reasons) but leading a regiment ive been lucky and got myself a wonderful rusky named GongL. Leading for my first awful attempt speaking Russian, but he was very kind and supportive of my feeble attempts.
Overall who would have thought NW helped lead me to become a more openminded person, interested in a variety of cultures and languages. When I was in Highschool I barely passed my Spanish class with a D- and I thought it was impossible to pick up any ability to converse with another person in a different language.
Im curious to hear your stories of how NW gave you the chance to learn another language and how that affected you.
