Keeping up my French and learning a bit more, restoring my Latin, and starting Yiddish.
Juan Foster
French I don't like all the exceptions and irregularities in verb conjugation and adjective/noun masculine/feminine/plural forms. It feels like I have to memorize hundreds of different patterns. But other than that, I think I'm making progress in understanding grammar. I can't wait until I can actually read books or listen to French songs
Brody Gutierrez
When was the last time this happened to you, /lang/?
>yet another American learning French I was maintaining a pace that would bring me to 4000 words by the end of the year for a while but somewhere along the line I messed up and started getting lazy, so I have only reached around 2500 now.
>tfw that happens but then a little later you see the exact thing giving you trouble again and it clicks, leaving you half satisfied and half feeling like an idiot for being so frustrated at something simple

You'll get used to it, French is pretty logical 2bh. But yeah, memorizing gender pronouns fucking sucks.
On another note, is there any reason to learn the past historic tense, which AFAIK is only used in literature? It's kinda fucking with me cause sometimes I'll read a book and see "fut" (third-person singular past historic form of "être") or something similar but I feel like it'd be useless.
Nolan Ortiz
English, Russian and German. I probably like german best because english fucking bores me to death and russian is so incomprehensibly retarded I stopped giving a shit about it a few years ago
Carter Williams

James Williams
Oh yeah, I was learning Korean last year and I advanced faster in there than in russian. Makes you think huh

I've talked with french teachers and they usually say that it's irrelevant/usuless to learn passé simple. Basically you can pretty much understand/presume when it's written and there is no use outside of the classical french literature. Fun fact: Lebanon has a pretty large francophone community and they use this tense in everyday conversations. Even french people sometimes can't understand them
Benjamin Mitchell
What the fuck? Why would they do such a thing?
Daniel Davis
They used to be a french colony. I guess it was at a time where passé simple was still at use and they kept it.
Julian Myers
Korean.
몇일 전에 한국친구들이랑 술 많이 마셨어
나 너무 취했으니까 한친구가 비디오 찍었어..나쁜 거 아니였는데 그냥 나 한국어로 얘기해보는거였어 비디오에
그래서 와..취할때 한국어 개못하더라고 발음도 넘 어색하고 말 잘 안나와 이런 생각을 했어 비디오 보면서 ㅎㅎㅎㅎ
아 창피해 ㅎㅎㅎ 한국인들이 다 좋다고 하고 내 발음..
흠...그냥 취해서 그런가봐

I am a chicano that wants to learn spanish because of family, but I'm so lazy and negative that I'll never be able to learn when I'm in this state. I've "started" learning and stopped so many times. The last time was trying to read the bible with a copy in english and spanish. I didn't even finish reading the first chapter of Genesis. I have a deep insecurity about it.
John Moore
No idea how ppl do it without going to a Spanish country. Once you do that it's mucho facil though.
Camden Young
good you'll have an easier time paying your jizya tax
Nicholas Myers
>Once you do that it's mucho facil though I think it's "muy facil"
Well, you can just live in the Southwestern US like I do, plenty of spanish speakers here
Ayden Green
You should really have read something good instead of the bible (Genesis is one of the worst stories in that book too).
Thomas Kelly
One time I tried reading Don Quixote in spanish with just a spanish dictionary
Henry Evans
Not him, but the Spanish speakers where I live are all maids and gangsters with terrible speaking habits (slang)
Seems like it would be counter productive, Imo
Daniel Kelly

I guess you don't have any spanish speaking co-workers It's generally true though that spanish speakers along the border of the US-Mexico line are ghetto Mexicans that actually live in Mexico like Mexico City and Monterrey are good people
Ryder Barnes
Nah, I like it enough to be studying it. It's just a pic from a thread some time ago, where we parodied an itchy feet comic.
Camden Sanchez
Are you a bit daft?

Japanese = Perfect Engrish = still English French = still Furench Spanish = still Esupanoru I wanna learn useless languages, something like croatian,arabic.............
Adam Powell
*engrish *esupanyoru
Cooper Peterson
Surely
Dylan Gray
Record yourself speaking those languages pls.
Matthew Wilson
How do I maintain motivation to learn Japanese? It's the one I'm the most interested in but I keep thinking about how difficult it is compared to others
Christian Sanchez
If you don't enjoy what you're doing, then move on, OR just take a break, that does help The brain works on repetition but also novelty, so getting out and then back into something can help you
Justin Cox
meet Japanese most japanese talk slowly so it maybe easier than you think ;D
Hunter Myers
How to meet Japanese who will speak to someone still learning the language though?
Aiden Nelson
I wanna meet weebs if i live in foreign cunts. use Meetup
Joseph Brown
Can anyone clarify that the fastest and best way to learn a language is to find some way to make it fun and enjoyable? I hate studying and don't want to work hard at anything because I am n33t
Jaxson Ward
Cool. I will try that. Of course it is. >clarify I hope you meant "confirm".

Eh, still the same word to me, a dictionary is not as important as people make it out to be
Able to speak simple Japanese and French. Able to follow dialogue in simple television shows without subtitles. Finish Kanji and acquire ~6000 words in each language. First year, just started a month ago.
Caleb Baker
Pass in my DELF exam and start learning another language (Spanish)
Jayden Bailey
What is your method of studying vocabulary?
Ian Hughes
I'm actually using memrise, and so far it has worked pretty well. I also like reading, so I write down every word I haven't seen before or that I don't know its exact meaning.
Colton Myers

Without context it could either be.

I was trying to learn a third language for a whole week now, more like finding out which I want to learn. (English and German of course being the two I speak already) I ended up with wanting to learn Swedish. Does anybody here know where and how to start? I never actively tried to learn a language. ENglish was more picking up piece by piece over the course of pretty much my entire childhood + teeens.
Liam Price
OK how am i wrong?
Owen Wilson
What language should I learn? I don't know which one to choose. I tried learning Swedish and other Scandinavian languages, but they don't REALLY interest me. I thought about learning another Latin language, but they all sound like Spanish to me (no offense). I have no interest on learning Asian languages also. Now, I want to learn a Slavic language, but I'm afraid I'll get bored again or that I won't find good entertainment to "consume". Should I learn a Slavic language? Which one? Do (a lot of) people actually produce (good) entertainment in that language? Sorry to bother you with these questions, but your opinions would really help me out.

Anyone here play Learn Harigana to Survive? I got it for 3 bucks on steam, even though I have no sincere desire to learn Japanese, I managed to have some fun with it where it was worth what I paid for it.
I feel playing through it then running through the Japanese Duolingo would be pretty good to get you through to conversational level Japanese.
Adam Sullivan
You're in the same boat as me, man.
Ethan Martinez
Hah
James James
If you're in the Americas, learning Spanish is probably your best bet to be honest. I don't care for Spanish but it's definitely the most useful second language in this hemisphere. It is though, Hans. Sorry we're #1.
James Long
>Sorry we're #1. Were #1, you were
I see, just read your post, I guess it was this one here Anyway, I think you're right, one has to be passionate about learning a language, and Swedish might be the wrong choice for me as well. Actually what I would like to learn is Persian (Farsi), but learning another alphabet frightens me a little 2bh
Jackson Perez
S-so i'll j-just wait here until someone wants to learn luxembourgish
Nathan Ramirez
Give me an example of it.
Hudson Moore
ech geing gearen letzeboieg leieren wann ech gelift it's like a weird medieval version of german with some french and dutch words , it combines the hard parts of all these languages
Blake Martin
>Actually what I would like to learn is Persian (Farsi), but learning another alphabet frightens me a little 2bh If you're really into it, then you're probably going to overcome this. If you're not, then probably you're going to get bored and stop learning it (like happened to me). Just give it a try... maybe It'll work out for out.
Eli Rivera
for you*
Asher Moore
Again gets me to the point where I have no idea where and how to start
Oliver Martin
if you are larning swedish , start with the alphabet , how swedish people prononounce the different sounds , then start studying some vocabulary and afterwards some regular and modal verbs
Jackson Rodriguez
I want to learn a new language next year, but I don't know what to study, nor do I have any real motivation to learn anything now.
John Robinson
I want to learn Arabic, but I have no clue where to start.
Also, I want to learn Korean eventually. I have already learned Hangul, but I have no clue where to start with learning words.
Wyatt Parker
Also, I like listening to Dutch Hip Hop, so Dutch seems interesting.
Ryan Moore
iktf.
Want to learn a bunch of languages but never have the motivation to stick with them more than a couple of months.
Chinese for the characters and a small interest in the history. No interest in visiting the country, the women, or politics
Russian for the politics, history and how it opens up central asia and the Caucasus' (wouldnt mind spending a few years living there either).. Find the language disgusting.
Arabic for the wars, religion and potential employment opportunities in 10+ years time. Disappointing how few people each 'dialect' buys you.
Italian for family. Everything else about the language and country is 'meh'.
