Is speaking a different language cultural appropriation? - General Discussion Discussion

[–] WandererFromYs (2328) a year ago

No it’s the highest form of cultural appreciation. Go to YouTube and watch any of of the expert language learners conversing with people in their native language. People are always impressed to see an outsider speak their language. Especially when it’s a lesser known language.

No.

I legit saw on twitter once some idiot claiming it's cultural appropriation if the motivation behind learning the language is to sleep with women from other countries...

What is the appropriate reason to learn another language?

reply

[–] VinceD (9887) a year ago

Talk to people? Communication? Enjoyment of the learning process??

Sleep with foreign women????

Those are all good reasons to me.

Agreed. Is this website editing me? It keeps saying "uh-oh looks like you're doing this too much" when my answer falls in the "culturally inappropriation" category.
