Speaking fluent English is such a privilege in the present day. King of languages.

I speak a few other languages but I can’t say any of them are nearly as useful. Persian would’ve been useful 200 years ago but now it’s basically something to impress people at parties.

The fact that almost everyone in Europe seems to speak English has also demotivated me from learning other European languages even though some are beautiful on their own terms. I can understand French I just don’t feel a pressing need to finish studying it.

I wish I'd learned English sooner so I could speak it fluently.
I had German and English at school and Spanish at university.
As a result, I don't speak any of them fluently, except russian and Ukrainian.
