I’ve observed a connection between lovers of computer languages, and lovers of human languages.
If you are interested in coding or linguistics, are you interested in both or just one of of the two? If only one interests you, which one and why? If both interest you, do they seem related to one another?
See I’ve never had a problem understanding the basics of multiple programming languages (though I do need to get more general experience with some of them, such as Rust) - but spoken languages? I had a hell of a hard time with even Spanish in high school. My teacher had recommended me for AP Spanish 2, because I was “far better than everyone else in the class” but in reality I just actually turned in my assignments and put in effort, whereas most of the others didn’t… that didn’t mean I was actually good at Spanish though.
I’ve always loved the idea of learning other languages, but its just never worked out for me. That being said, learning ASL has been on my todo list for a very long time. I was in my middle school’s sign language club, but it was sadly cancelled after a few weeks due to lack of participation, and never opened up again which was a shame. I feel I have some chance of learning sign language, and I can still sign the alphabet pretty fluently. I think I even remember a few words!
