    Other countries speak English... so if you're in the US you still know British English and vice versa.

      Uh... no, you won't. You missed the "English" part, which coincidentally appears in both British and American English.

      Actually Vesk they are considered separate languages. Much like north and south Korea are considered separate countries. Anyway move once, be happy where you are, learn the god damn language in a few moths to a year cos you're surrounded by it.

    I would rather be able to flirt on my home turf and know it works than guess with a foreign woman. Or rely on the luck that she knew a language I did.

      Or be able to do anything where you are. You'd basically still need someone to translate with the blue.

    "...only the language of the country you're in." clearly this is an easy choice because if you switch countries, so does your language. no less you'll use the language perfectly

    Speak every other language. And then move to Japan. WIN!

      If you move to Japan, you would suddenly not know Japanese though. The choice was "Speak every language except for the country you are CURRENTLY in." That means moving to Japan would make you suck at Japanese.

      Actually, on second thought, that would make both choices good wouldn't it? Otherwise the choice would be overwhelmingly Red.

      It says when you go to another country your knowledge resets. So if you went to Japan then you could speak any language EXCEPT Japanese.

    Can you imagine how easy an English major would be if you knew what every single word in the language meant? I don't know other languages anyway, sign me up!

    If I live somewhere like Portugal but don't know Portuguese, I can get around just fine with my knowledge of Spanish, French, English, Italian, and Latin.

    When ever you go to another country, you would speak only that language. You dont really need all the languages of the world.

    Just move to Switzerland. The spoken languages there are so far removed from the original languages that they count as their own. And everyone still understands the original languages (like, a German wouldn't understand a Swiss person from the German part of Switzerland, but they'd be perfectly able to understand and even speak German as it's spoken in Germany).

      Wow you're an idiot. I'm pretty sure they would give up their native tongue for your "weird" American language.
