I've just picked up Arabic and am learning the script.
Adrian Williams
What are you using to learn the script?
David Wright
The official Memrise course. I probably should pick up a book but dunno what.

Joshua Baker
I really want to learn Russian. What about it do you think is hard? I'm pretty sure I could get down cyrillic if I wanted, haven't looked into grammar much though
Alexander Morales
Learning Cyrillic is the easy part
The grammar is definitely kys level, everything being gendered and the like 6 different cases is confusing as fuck
I want to learn a new language. Why? For the heck of it.
These are the top four I want to learn (1 the most, 4 the least). Please help me order them most practical/useful to least as well.
1- Persian (Dari, family speaks it and I never bothered with it until recently) 2- Polish- latin alphabet/slavic sounding language seems super badass 3- Russian- sounds cool, learning Cyrillic would help with other languages 4- Swedish- literally just for Sabaton songs
I know Swedish will be the easiest. Will Polish or Russian be harder? Yes the former uses a Latin alphabet versus Russian's Cyrillic, but that shouldn't be such a problem as it only takes a few hours to learn a new alphabet from what I've heard.
Background: native English speaker with three years of high school French experience.
Jordan Hall
Given that you are a native english speaker with rather poor theoretical knowledge of linguistics, polish might fairly quickly become an incredibly flustrating experience for you, mostly because of its completely chaotic grammar, lots of irregularities and honestly fucked up phonetics. Good luck in case if you decide to learn it though.
Nathan Stewart
It seems kinda useless as I've already decided to never visit Poland after reading about the gun laws there, but nevertheless it sounds beautiful.
I'll probably go with Dari, dad speaks it so I'll have it down fluently in a year or two if I work hard
Chase Adams
working on chinese. I bought some flashcards and I also started making my own.
still only have a few basic words and their respective symbols down.
I fin working with the flashcards and writing them down very helpful. writing only the characters and pinyin (roman alphabet version of the word) without english so i can use my notes to challenge myself later.
I have watched a quite a bit of tutorials, and they are helpful, but I enjoy working at my own pace and direction a lot more. constantly rewinding and pausing is a bit tiresome, to take notes or make sure i got it.
I'm worried I'm focusing a little too much on the written stuff and not enough on recognizing words when spoken.
I would learn Persian since your family already speaks it won't be hard for you to find someone to practice, which is the best way to learn a language imo.

i messed with doulingo some years ago before traveling to mexico. i dont think apps and touchscreens work that well for me.
as i mentioned here writing, drawing and reading to the best of my abilities, the words and meanings i want to learn works best for me. not an anrbitrary set of words an app wants me to learn my means of virtual flashcards.
with real flashcards and can sort decks of different "difficulties" and even combine them for more complex problems. i really think there is an advantage to having a physical medium, at least for me.
i bought 100 blank cards on ebay for 4-5£. not exactly expensive.
the process of making them helps me remember as well.
Nathaniel Nelson
All links to this deck are dead because the creator is now being a jew and is selling it on his website Could you upload it by any chance?
Grayson Brooks
That's a bit expensive. Try looking for system cards at your newsagents. I get a pack of 100 for a third of that price

A method I've used to learn new sounds is to compare their Wikipedia descriptions with sounds I can already make. If you compare the 'Features' section in the following
you'll see that the only major difference between the English-style r and the trilled r is that instead of constricting the mouth, the tongue goes up to the alveolar ridge. Develop a good physical sense of what you're doing when you pronounce an English r, then try to do the same thing, but changing that one aspect.
Though I reckon some native trilled-r speaker is going to reply that I'm retarded and it's actually much more complicated than that.

you're retarded, it's actually much more simple than that
