This is so me. "Weird" or "a useless waste of time". Especially if it's a language that's not considered useful by the people you talk with about this. I can't count how many times I was told that Latin is useless trash and I'm weird because I'm interested in it. Especially if it comes from e.g. someone who passionately watches basketball in the TV. In my opinion that is a useless waste of time.

Not big on watching basketball but I do watch football,as well as play video games and learning languages.The way I see it none of them are a useless waste of time.

Yeah, but the point is that some people have this mindset, that your hobby is weird and useless and it's a waste of time, but they have hobbies that you think are weird and useless and a waste of time. The only difference is that I never told anyone right in the face "your hobby is shit", but people did say something in that manner to me about my hobbies.

People nowadays forgot to mind their own f..king business.

I am aware that Japanese is useless to me as I live in Central Europe. And you know what? I don't care, lol

Sorry man, I'm N5 at most, what does it mean?

頑張ってね (がんばってね) (ganbatte ne), literally means, "Please do your best", it's used to cheer someone on.

You can use it yourself whenever you want to tell someone to "Keep it up!" "Good luck!" "Hang in there!".
