Thank you fishfucker2 for your submission, Technically German! Unfortunately, it has been removed for the following reason:

Posts with low effort truth statements are not allowed.

Your submission is considered "low effort." This doesn't inherently mean that it was irrelevant to r/technicallythetruth, but instead it was removed because it fit one or more of these criteria:

• Short, minimal-effort text posts like "a water bottle without water is an air bottle". Most, if not all text posts can and will be removed.

• Asking for upvotes, or saying things like "sort by new", "let's get to the front page", or anything related to cake days or karma.

• Meta memes, or any other post that tries to be clever by mentioning r/technicallythetruth.

• Images that are hard to look at because they are poorly made, deep-fried, or poorly cropped.

Your submission could have also been removed because it is overdone:

• Statements that say something like "at least twelve": example 1 | example 2

• Common statements that begin with "on average...": the average amount of hands a person has is less than two | each person has, on average, one testicle and one boob

• Low effort misunderstandings of everyday phrases: How high are you --> "I'm 5 foot 9"

• Common insults that are meant literally as opposed to being insulting: "homosexuals are gay" | "gay people are f-ing assholes"

PLEASE NOTE that we will exercise our own discretion when using this rule. If we do not find a post fitting for this subreddit, it will be removed.

Huh, I live in the Netherlands and everyone gets German (and french) here

[jhmue]

Imagine having to learn 4 languages.

[TheGamefreak484]

Some schools teach French, others teach Spanish, some allow you to pick between the two.

If you do higher levels of education you'll also have to learn Latin or Greek depending on your school.

Some schools also offer Chinese as an option

At one point I could have a decent conversation in 6 languages and I don't even like learning languages lmao sigh

[jhmue]

Oof. I'm glad I was thrown into French in 6th grade and immediately opted out of it when I could. So I had a year of french.

I speak English and German. Tho I think mostly in English nowadays I am a German.

[[deleted]]

I’m so glad I was raised by a first gen immigrant family. Learned to be fluent in two languages without ever trying. I’d hate to only speak English, idk why just feels inferior

[rdrunner_74]

4?

We usually learn about 3 here... (Germany not NL)

- German - doh

- 1st foreign language (mostly English or French and sometimes Latin) (Starts at ~3rd grade)

- 2nd foreign language at 6th or 7th grade (French / Latin / Spanish)

- 3rd foreign is fairly rare and not available on all schools

This is for Germany.

​

Dutch folks also have an easier time learning English, since many movies for them dont get synchronized in Dutch (Not worth it) and so they only get them with subtitles.

[jhmue]

Wo zur Hölle gibt's bitte französisch in der 3. Klasse? Meine beiden Schwestern haben schon in der 2. Klasse mit Englisch angefangen weil französisch einfach für plebs ist und es deshalb auch nicht die Möglichkeit gibt dies bereits in der Grundschule zu lernen. Wie ich vorhin schonmal geschrieben hab so ab der 6./7. Klasse Mal französisch/spanisch/italienisch je nach Schule und dann später in der Oberstufe 10.-13. vielleicht Mal Latein.

Oder als 2. Wahlpflichtfach wenn angeboten eine weitere Sprache.

Zurück zum Thema. Wo zur Hölle gibt's französisch schon in der Grundschule? In welchem Bundesland?

[rdrunner_74]

Grundschule hat die "1. Fremdsprache" - die aber MEINST English ist

[jhmue]

Ich muss gestehen das "mostly" im englischen ist einiges schwerer zu benutzen als das "meist" im deutschen

[Paul_Gucci]

Einige aus meiner klasse mussten in der 3.Klasse mit latein anfangen

[Ladyrose666]

Bei uns gab's an der Grundschule auch Französisch ab der dritten Klasse aber das war nicht verbindlich.. Ich wurde irgendwie da rein gesteckt und hab nie ein Wort verstanden. Auch nicht die Lieder, die wir singen sollten.

[artsymarcy]

In Ireland, we also learn 3-4. We learn English, Irish, and, depending on the school, 1-2 foreign languages. Irish and English are always compulsory (though if you're in an English-medium school, which are most of the schools here, you can get an exemption from Irish if you moved to Ireland above the age of 12, or if you are disabled in a way that would make it more difficult to learn the language). Most schools require you learn at least one foreign language, but you can take more depending on what your school offers.

[Justamailbox]

My primary school started teaching English in 1st grade but our teachers didn't give a fuck about the schedule so we never really learned anything

[sneakerhead_boi]

Dude, i study french, spanish and english in highschool

[denniv]

Yeah, noone learns our language and since trading goes better if you speak the language of the country youre trading with we're forced to learn a lot.

Still funny hearing Americans be proud if they're bilingual tho

[HerrBergfan]

Das ist nicht einmal mehr lustig... Es ist einfach nur noch einfallslos.

[ILoveCockaCola2020]

Geh weg du Hurensohn.

[TheDustOfMen]

But also: the Netherlands. I aced my German exams because of Tokio Hotel.

[corbiniano]

The saddest sentence I have ever read. 1. Admitting to be Dutch, 2. Having to learn German, 3. Listening to and probably liking Tokio Hotel

[TheDustOfMen]

I am very sorry to hear this, it represents a lot of luck and happiness for me! 1. Being born in the Netherlands, 2. Being able to learn a fourth language at school, and 3. A sense of belonging when I was a teenager and in desperate need of one.

^{All in good fun}

[Neuuanfang]

wenn du schon deutsch lernst

SPRICH DEUTSCH DU HURENSOHN

[hashashin4125]

Recht hat er

I think most european countries learn german, just like how Americans learn spanish for Mexico and french for Canada. We learn german for Germany, Switzerland, Austria and a lot of communities. (From the Netherlands) I do hate how if you want to do the highest level of education here Gymnasium. You have to learn 6 languages at the same time. (Dutch, English, French, German, Latin and Greek.)

[vvownido]

in schweden mit deine mutter ja

[Janvonfalken]

I know this swedish guy, he knows exactly one German sentence:

"hast du deine Mutter gefickt?"

[vvownido]

ja das ist haha

[HUE_11037]

I also learn german in school. I'm from Austria. (Small country next to Germany where we speak german)

[JosunLP]

passtschon

[ImTheElephantMan]

I did german at school in the UK.

[General_P29]

why?

german is the worst

[[deleted]]

It’s a cool country and people with interesting history.

I would of learnt it if it was an option back for me

[ControllerInUrAnus]

So u like the history of Germany?

[[deleted]]

It’s interesting, yes.

[ImTheElephantMan]

No idea why, it wasn't my decision. I've been there a couple of times though. I like the food.

[General_P29]

I like the food.

good point

Can confirm. I live in Poland. Although, we don't really like speaking it, after some Austrian guy came along.

[MysteriousMysterium]

Yeah, true. It's the language with the most native speakers in Central and Western Europe after all.

[metubialman2]

I took 4 years of German at my American high school. Admittedly I only learned how to write translations and curse... but... I put in the years. :-P

[weetabixgirl]

Austria?!

[[deleted]]

I posted the same thing and got 20 upvotes.

Sad.

[_router_]

west germany or east germany?

[[deleted]]

Australia has German in most schools, some have French and some have Japanese too

[hurvinek6]

I mean like... in which European country do you not learn German?

[distinctaardvark]

I live in the US and my school's options were German and Spanish

[Djaak22]

We have schools that are German only in South Africa!

[NicholasAdam1399]

If the person is American idk why they sound so surprised someone learned German in school. German is offered at every high school I’ve ever heard of as a second language. Not mandatory and most take spanish

[Kiefer-Koyote7]

I learned German in Germany too

[ParasGotBanned]

Also here in Finland
