How do you cope with the fact that nearly everything worthwhile on the internet is in English? Everything I read on the internet is in English, the posts I make on KC, the shows and movies I watch (or have English subtitles), the music I may listen to. Sometimes I realize its detrimental effect on my German language skills as I forget certain words and only can think of the English way of saying it. Have you noticed similar effects and if so, how do you deal with them? I think we already discussed this a bit a while ago in another thread, but maybe you got new insights.
English or Japanese anyway. As an English speaker it's very convenient but I do worry about the effects it has on the culture of the world.
It will soon change as AI translatipns get really good and all language barriers disappear, and the downfall of English as a lingua franca will begin from there
Every time I see Hungarian content it’s horribly cringe/out of date/low production value. There is zero fucking reason to pick it over the equivalent English equivalent unless you’re an IQ89 prole who can’t into English.
French is holding up in an acceptable bubble of online spectacle and language specific academic discourse. Probably both being of better quality and higher quantity than any other european country. But that's not enough and the tendency goes more towards a decrease, just at a slower pace than other euros
>>19809 You belong to the Magyar alien race who is distinct from everyone else in language, you should cherish that
>>19809 I concur. All the Hungarian content is a copypaste of some shitty western crap made even more cringier than the original. But we started to import crap before internet was popular. Like we had fun comedy stuff on telly and radio, but in the 90s German media companies set up their private channels and made horrible German style comedy shows in Hungarian. Today it's similar, except with platforms we can produce crap as grassroot. Or by our dear political parties. I do believe things could be done well, original thought built with original creativity. But those who could do it are most likely busy with life making a living from what they do now, or has the thought and information, but doesn't have the knowhow. Or the worthwhile things are copyright protected and impossible to make creative online content out of them due to the shortsightedness of the IP holders. Or some such unfortunate combination of things. And the end product should get to the users/consumers somehow. Brilliant things with work and thought put into are often pushed out by inferior products. People often don't pick the quality. So why bother doing it if there is no return. No I don't really mind English. My suggestion to OP: he should do stuff in his own language. Start researching and writing. For the drawer, but it's better if he has someone to mail his stuff. Just ask permission, don't bother people unsolicited.
>>19835 >All the Hungarian content is a copypaste of some shitty western crap made even more cringier than the original. We have sames. Thankfully I learned English early so I could escape the plantation and roam greener anglophone pastures.

>>19809 >>19835 >Hungarian content it’s horribly cringe/out of date/low production value not so fast, Hungary boys
>>20841 I also figured I can create my own cringe content. >>20842 Heh, I'm glad you know such gold nuggets. However the discussion was more about current online content. And that reminded me to the times when things started to go sideways. We have some quality cultural products. Here's Hungarian folk tales, translated to English: https://yewtu.be/channel/UC4IHjMTbstJlt5vO181UWEQ https://youtube.com/channel/UC4IHjMTbstJlt5vO181UWEQ The visuals are fairly characteristic and unique, can be trippy sometimes. Each episode is about 10 mins long. These apparently were broadcasted in some Eastern Euro countries - such as Romania, which was highly surprising for me - too.
>>19805 Also means everything will be melted into the same slop crucible though.
>>19802 >forget certain words and only can think of the English way of saying it This is starting to happen to me, even my dreams are in English now.
I dislike it because i want to learn other languages and there's nothing
