Hebrew - "ZOMG you're a Zionist/ZOG!!"
Any Native American language - "Dude, they're all a bunch of drunkards on welfare, why on earth would you want to learn their PRIMITIVE languages anyway?" Dutch - "Isn't that just another word for German?" Any non-Russian Slavonic language - "Why not learn Russian instead?" Basque - "Isn't that a Neanderthal language?" Most Bantu/Khoisan languages - "Why would you want to learn those languages? They're all so poor." Any sign language - "Dude - it's not even a language!" Hmm... great wisdom unleashed! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

The one I heard is towards languages in general not known to the person who says this. "They talk behind my back in front of my face." 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

In Japan,
I am learning Mandarin Chinese... Why? Chinese speak English. I want to learn Korean... Why? Koreans must speak English How about German? You are a doctor. But, I heard doctors are now using English. French? Why don't you learn English? OK, I will learn English. Very good, but, unfortunately, it is impossible to master English. Too hard. 4 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||
