I'm Looking to learn Asian languages.

Pittsburgh PA

Description

There really must be a social stigmatism when, as a 31 year old white male, I've never had an Asian friend. Not because I don't want to but rather because I don't know how to properly go about mingling with Asian ethnicities. I attempt to make myself inviting by being courteous and attentive but nothing of substance proliferates from modesty. I'm not an intrusive person so I don't like to bother people in general, Yet with ethnical groups that appear to self segregate themselves it's even more difficult to develop meaningful transitive relationships. I mean I 'never' saw a non Asian work at an Asian owned business as opposed to for example Italian business' that implore multi ethnical staffing. So clearly there's some kind of social divide influenced by how Asians choose to operate. It's not just my quaint peaceful nature preventing me from more than an introduction towards Asian culture. I've attempted to learn Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, arabic and other languages but it seems rather pointless being that there's no one to speak the languages with. I mean there's plenty loads of different ethnicities out there. Substantially enough that I would think I would be a multi lingual American by now in the 21st century. It's not that there's no one to speak with it's that there's so many to speak with that honestly there hasn't been anyone I've been able to familiarize with to have an in depth realistic relative conversation that goes beyond greetings and salutations. I think being there's so many people, people subconsciously take people for granted. Also, being there's different dialects it's even more rigorous to study a particular language then go try to pinpoint speakers of the language.
