I always try to decipher their memes because they look funny.

That means you should start /c/moi_dlvv

Fr fr these guys look like some top tier shit posters.

I'm legit considering getting back to learning German to understand their memes, they look so juicy

I studied German in high school but I don't remember any of it. I like to pretend that ich_iel is just using made up nonsense words, like the Swedish Chef muppet.

I took French in high school and barely scraped by. My wife took German and went on an exchange program for six weeks after high school and had a terrific time.

Close to 30 years later and I remember a lot of the French but she's forgotten most of the German.

So who's laughing now, huh?

Oh right, you got to have those six weeks in Germany. Merde.

Comme by !rance@jlai.lu !

Je pense qu'on est moins nombreux mais on s'y amuse quand même.

Learning French in the US is such a let down. Spanish is the unofficial second national language and German has the best memes.

German jokes are the wurst.

What even is ich_iel?

You miss all of it. Learn German instead. Drop the French.

In case you're learning French to be able to work at a bigger French company - don't. You will be very unhappy. The basic reason is, French companies, even those who think they're "modern", are still run like Louis XIV's is the CEO. Like an extremely rigid, top-down, feudalistic little empire full of screaming bosses and servile employees.

As a German who speaks french: French is probably the easier language since you don't need to declinate words and only really use 3 forms for time.

For me it’s Dutch. The Dutch own late night Lemmy for me and I want to know what I’m missing.

I’ve picked up on Overleden though :(

C'est la merde

~~Never too late to learn!~~

Es ist nie zu spät zu lernen!

Pro tip, you can use Google lens to translate (if you're like me and don't care as much about my privacy/have an android phone).
