8 languages. 8. Wtf. I cant get my head aroubd that. You are super super intelligent. I admire you loads

Posted using Partiko Android

If you had followed my blog, you would have read of a way to put associate a language to each post about 19 months ago.

Basically, there is a meta data part of a post. With that I would put a language key to a vector of standard two-character language codes, for each post may contain more than one language.

While this looks like a good idea at first, I find it messy to mix content and pure meta into the same field.
Moreover, the json_metadata is already cluttered with so many information.
But the idea of having the different languages in a separate field is a good one.

Learning languages often makes you gain a greater culture, that language is the basis of knowledge, it is the only tool to communicate with all the people of the world and to learn new cultures. I think that English is the most important language at present, but you must learn other languages. My friend, @arcange

When it comes to most spoken language in the world, English is only ranked #2

  • Mandarin Chinese (1.1 billion speakers)
  • English (983 million speakers)
  • Hindustani (544 million speakers)
  • Spanish (527 million speakers)
  • Arabic (422 million speakers)
  • Malay (281 million speakers)
  • Russian (267 million speakers)
  • Bengali (261 million speakers)

Most English speaking people think they will have no problem when traveling abroad thanks to English. Try China or Russia, and you will learn the hard way that it's not always so obvious ;)

Yes, I agree with you, but do you know what standards have put English in second place globally, and Chinese is ranked first in the world? Simply because of China's over 1.5 billion people. About one-fifth of the world's population, while English is spoken in more than one country such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. In the first place in my opinion. Because the Chinese language, even if you learn it, you will not need it in Europe, Africa, South America and America Shamali, so you need it when you go to China only.

Because the Chinese language, even if you learn it, you will not need it in Europe

I was on a beach in Spain when Chinese girls came to us for "massage? massage?". They were really surprised when I continued the conversation in Chinese (as other tourist around me). And when it came to negotiate the price, it added weight in my favor ;)

So, you never know where you're going to speak which language ;)

Mandarin Chinese is the most spoken language but English is the most spoken as a second language and also most spoken online.

Ankaŭ mi tre ŝatas lingvojn. Kutime mi komencas mian blogon per malgranda enkonduko en la angla kaj mia ĉefa kontribuo estas verkita en Esperanto.
