I'm really embarrassed being a communist and not knowing a second language. (lemmygrad.ml)

I dropped Spanish which was the only language offered during my high school years. I regret it, and now I'm embarrassed to start learning as a uni-aged guy. I want to learn Mandarin because then I would know English and Mandarin which would cover like 50% of the populations speaking abilities.

Basically I just feel like a dumb American and being a Marxist I need to know another language.

Strongly agree. The accent has to be just right for me, though. Otherwise I can't put my ears through it. That's why I like listening-reading. I go by content and accent, and get 7–35+ hours with a voice that I can listen endlessly to.
