It's not hard to fake being decent at a language online when translators are relatively accurate and easily accessible. Make a youtube video talking shit to her in Mandarin.

i considered arabic but chinese seems more interesting to me

the only benefit to speaking arabic for me would be being able to read the quran and converse with bearded thugs

I have this theory that there is no Arabic and people just make that throaty ch-sound a lot.
Just like there's no Russian and people are just drunk and add -ski to words and sound angry doing that.
And of course there's no German, people are just trying to sound hitlery, while Adi in turn just babbled nonsense himself, rolling the R a lot.

it does

but chinese is funny sounding which makes it fun to learn. cause of the tonal nature of the language, it's impossible to try to speak it without sounding like a kung fu parody

plus chinese just looks cooler in written form, which is one of my main priorities

plus it has over a billion soulless chinese native speakers, making china the world's largest ant colony
