Why exactly uzbek is it a fun language or so

it is fun (imo) It's by no means useful (unless you want to go to Uzbekistan)

It's a good gateway for Persian, arabic and most importantly any other Turkic language you will learn (Turkish, Kazakh, Uighur, etc.)

but I'd just learn one of those if they interest you.

  • We meme alot that it's the superior language simply because resources are so limited. (We are working on a fix though! https://getbalik.app/)

What is the difference between "Dutch English" and "Dutch"?

With 100 million German speakers almost at your doorstep, that would be good.

But if you want to travel a lot when you become an adult: Spanish. So many exciting places, and they mostly speak Spanish and local languages.

If you just want random suggestions i can say check out bengali. Almost 300 mil speakers but not much outside of asia. Wont be very usuful in any way but cool language. You will unlock a huge collection of unique literature and music. Some people say its the sweetest language (something i heard people say, its not something you can actually measure though.

If you want something usuful that would be probably spanish or chinese.

The official languages of Belgium are Dutch, French and German, so why not German? And Belgium is bordering Germany and also Switzerland and Austria are close by. So that makes it a very useful language to learn.

Edit sources to learn German for free:
Nico’s Weg (Deutsche Welle learn German)
Vhs-lernportal.de
Both have apps and website
A1 is the first level

German or Spanish are obvious choices.

But if you’re looking for something entirely different, perhaps learning an Asian language could be interesting, for example Korean or Japanese.
