    Say that a magical thing happened and you were asked to make a choice on which language you would want to learn fluently in just one day either for the purpose of reading all the books on NU raw or for your own personal interest, which language would it be and why?

    (PS. All options are among the more popular languages to learn. If you have a language that's not available in the options, comment below and share)

    Can I learn the literal language of the gods and demons? Yeah, the one where I can actually evoke spiritual phenomena with my words alone? That tongue which resonates with the world's yoke? That which is dead shall immortally return back to the dawn of ages? Indeed, may that dead language resurrect my childish craving for magic and forevermore in the coming of shadows.

    Okay, I think I would learn JP, because visual novel, web novel, light novel, manga, and anime. I would prefer Chinese if I wanted to succeed efficiently in business. Russian in certain careers... Arabic if I go full zealot. Art of bullshitting can't help me, because I don't have the looks to bullshit convincingly.

    I want to learn the language of this new place I am in cause it's really difficult to communicate with some people with no common language :facepalm: (That's Kannada) other than that I am not specifically interested. I just wanna increase my stock of known languages and communicate better with the people here (Especially cursing!) But I guess it's fine. If I ask someone to teach me I technically can start learning...

    I wanna learn Japanese in a day as I like how it sounds... :cookie:

    This my friend. I can't agree more. When I was in my first year, shy and bambi like, I thought my friends were extremely smart. They were confident and outspoken and I admired them for it but as eventually as I grew, I learned that underneath their proud and courageous exterior, their words completely lack substance and were basically repeating the same idea over and over again. They didn't know how to be concise and just dragged ON and ON. It was a nightmare to realize I once admired them.

    Are you kink shaming me? It seems potato Santa is being naughty~ Punishment time! Let's deep fry it's insides again, but no oil this time. Just ravage it raw.

    On a serious note, where do you get all those customized potato icons?
