I learned how to insult someone for speaking French like a Spanish Cow in the 6e? With various other French insults

Turkish and basic Russian.

Turkish because from when I was 12 year old, I mostly had Turkish friends and they were always speaking Turkish even at our schools in Belgium. I picked a lot of words up and later on they began to teach me. After a while I joined the 88th from Gatts and later on when it disbanded the 98e. They improved my Turkish a lot and now I’m able to have full on conversations in Turkish.

I discovered Russian myself. I saw that everyone thinks it is the most difficult language to learn (or one of the most difficult). I managed to be able to read the whole alphabet in just a few hours as Im very into languages. But in Russian my knowledge is very basic. I use the app duolingo and some learning books for studying.

Those are the two from except Dutch, English. French I had on school because we have to learn it in Belgium, but the language itself is not really my cup of tea.
Yeah I am at the point where I am pretty good at reading how it sounds. But its still hard to look at a word and recognize what it means right away.

True, even though I know the alphabet, knowing what a word means is still a very different thing. I can read like everything because I know the cyrillic alphabet, but understanding what it says is is a different story.
I mean, if you have a language you truly love and you're going after it will become automatically more easy than an easier language to learn like for let's say Spanish whilst you maybe don't have interest for.
Practice is the key.

Can I just say that I’m really impressed with the cav community, 10x more mature than the inf community and a lot less tolerant of the cancerous players

True. My grammar is still not what it should be like, but I learned a lot as well by just chatting a lot with people on Steam and talking on Teamspeak. Thanks to this I had very good grades in English lessons, whilst some other people in my class lacked some English knowledge.

Not a language but being in the 75e/93rd (Heinrich regs) helped expose me to more Europeans and learn about how they interacted and stuff. I played another game that had a smallish community like this called atwar and that taught me a bit about other cultures and geography too. Kinda crazy that I learned everything I know about other cultures through games and not school.
nah windflower just tries to act cultured and edgy but hes actually just a 21yo lonely canadian who wastes all his time serving donuts to fat american tourists and trying to date underaged video game girls

Same here if not for NW and EU4 id never be as open minded and educated as i am now due to all the exposure I got to different ways of thinking and peoples.
