This is a genuine question. I’ve always had an interest in learning languages and I have a list I want to learn. I am already somewhat decent in Spanish, so I’m picking up that, practicing my Portuguese, going to learn French and Italian, maybe German, learning Polish, and possibly Russian.
I already canceled the idea of living in Russia due to obvious reasons, but will I have any need to learn the language? Will it be useful? Will that be offensive? Many people HATE Russia and the language.
I’m going OG and learning Latin.
I’m Canadian so I wouldn’t know firsthand, but is there any remaining bad blood in Europe about the Romans conquering so much of it? Might want to be careful busting out the Latin in some neighbourhoods, just in case someone’s great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather got killed by Roman soldiers or sold into slavery or something and they’re still sore about that.
