who learning through vidya games here. im too lazy to study german, but this sort of works for understanding the language.
Alexander Williams
Have recently been going on a campaign to brainwash all the cute Chinese girls I have been meeting into hating foreigners.
Been doing this through using Pavlov's Dog psychology experimental methods.
Whenever they sense a foreigner, I introduce negative reinforcement such as electrical shocks to their vagina. I am hoping that this will slowly cause them to form an aversion habit to anything that is not Chinese. But the few masochistic ones that I will surely come across, I am going to have to reverse the positive and negative reinforcements since their neurological wiring is different.
Then, when anything Chinese is introduced to their sensory perception, I provide positive reinforcement like giving them food, vaginal massage, and buttplugging.
I am hoping that all this psychological trauma will do what I intend it do. Will post the results of my science experiment here on Sup Forums later.

I need to overcome depression otherwise I won't learn anything, help

I'm trying to decide between Russian and Spanish. I know Spanish is much easier but I really want to learn Russian and I'm pretty fluent in languages so it's not a problem. What I want to know is whether Russian will be beneficial to me. I think eastern languages such as arabic, russian and chinese will be getting more beneficial in the future but I would love if anyone can give me some advice.
Also anyone here learning/having learned Russian?
The new wolfenstein games were great with all the notes, newspapers and letters in both english and german. I'm not studying it through games though. I'm at B2 now.
Carson Martinez
learn to overcome depression, reading help me alot to focus and push aways the bad thought. Also learning, even vocabulary is rewarding, the brain release dopamine when you learn something.

Jackson Evans
Anyone who has done DELE please tell me how it was and what did you use.
Hudson Cook
Judging by your location, I would say Russian, but it really depends on why do you want to learn such languages.
Xavier Williams
If you're learning it for fun, pick the one that seems most fun to you.
Benjamin Davis
Just started learning Italian, since I'm visiting it this summer. Anyone have any films/books/music they recommend?

Any Finns ever hear a foreigner use proper Finnish grammar? I can't imagine anybody getting Suomi grammar right unless they grew up speaking/reading it.
Asher Sullivan
after i finish the introduction what's next? should i watch some sort of news or media?

duolingo German club we just created: pls only regulars and certified retards: EJ3VNS
Owen Fisher
Any Russian clubs? :^)
William Hall
You probably can make sentences that sound unnatural but are grammatically correct and easy to make.
Ayden Mitchell
kanji 2000 of them
Hunter James
What do you do in those clubs, just chatting?
Cameron Walker
actually the chatting is pretty limited. There's a leaderboard and you can see everyone's progress in real time. I guess it's meant to increase a sense of competition or accomplishment through negative and positive reinforcement?
I'm only on a German and a Welsh club, but there are club codes for most languages on the duolingo forums and reddit. I thought there'd be some here too
Chase Allen
what's the deal with french eh?
Lucas Morgan
Eh, what do I even do with that EJ3VNS
Jonathan Hernandez
Is Duolingo grading painfully slow for anyone else?
I dropped it and started using Lingvist instead about a month ago. I'd like to use both now but it's practically unusable.
By the way, I highly recommend Lingvist if your desired language is available.
Jace Bell
Yeah, I've given up on duolingo because of this. Tell me more about this Lingvist, user.
Jaxon Mitchell
Yes, but only for the last couple of days
Slow as all hell
John Wood
Apparently it's from all the new years resolution plebs using it
Ryder Garcia
In my experiences it's like Duolingo but less 'basic'. It teaches much more useful vocab in my opinion. Also it tells you exactly how much time you've spent studying and how many cards you answered which is a nice motivator. It's a nice replacement to Duolingo but as I said, it only offers a few languages, which are French, Spanish, German and Russian off the top of my head.
Joseph Brooks
Luckily enough I want to learn German, French and improve my Spanish. Although I think it would be better to learn French and Spanish from Portuguese instead of English, but I'll give it a try with German
Jordan Ortiz
That's interesting!
Yeah they're having a traffic crisis as of late
Clubs are only on mobile apps so far, so not on the web app. You'd go to the clubs tab and enter the code
Jayden Collins
Do you think you're gonna learn all these languages simultaneously? Do you think you're gonna reach an intermediary level in one of them even? My son, if you wanna go past knowing how to say hi and goodbye you've gotta stick with one language at a time. Unless you're learning Esperanto. You know, people like you are extremely annoying. And for some reason the usual thing around these language related environments is to encounter folks like you. Unbelievable.
>heh, just got back from my german course, now i'm gonna learn some french and then, during evening, some spanish XD >who knows, even improve my engrish a little bit too XDDDD teee heee
Not that I want to discourage anyone here, but people with an absolute lack of focus and methodology make me mad. I'm mad now.
Leo Brown
When did I say the word "simultaneously"? These are languages I intend to learn/improve. Haven't said when.
Zachary Smith
Nah I think two is possible. Three might be too much.
This lingvist thing is pretty fuckin' good
Adrian Roberts
Great being a NEET and schedule Duolingo during the day and then switch to Lingvist/Memerise in the afternoon when all the new year wagies crash the site
Anthony Wright
I think it's perfectly reasonable to be learning two if they're in different families. Personally I'd have trouble finding sufficient time to learn any more than that though.
Glad you like it.
Nicholas Rodriguez
Yeah, it would be like English->German and Portuguese->Spanish. I've been studying German for a year now, and I haven't studied Spanish since high school (> 6 years)
Jaxson Sullivan
great stuff thanks for sharing
Brody Lopez
>Lingvist Oh wow, just tried it and it's amazing. Thanks for sharing my friend, I love it.
James Ross
Does anyone have trouble keeping their streak on Duolingo today ?
I'm past my goal yet no day was added to the counter, and I don't have the checkmark.
Jason Brooks
Glad you like it. Pic related is my progress in French after about 10 hours of learning over the past 3 weeks. Since so many English and French words are similar, and I've studied French in the past, my total vocab is probably larger but it's a nice tool to keep track with.
Nathan Gutierrez
Nice. I'm actually starting French too. Really enjoying their system, Duolingo always felt boring and somewhat finicky to me, I just love how simple and direct Lingvist is.
Jordan Edwards
Lingvist looks really nice but has very limited languages right now.
Carter Campbell
me too
Lucas Turner
But surely they will eventually expand it, right? Which language are you interested in and that they don't have yet?
Caleb Jones
Italian, and Russian from French
Adrian Wright
Possible to learn French and German at the same time? they're different families as everyone says they need to be, but is there anything between them two in particular that could cause problems?
Also my french is coming along nicely but German would be from scratch if that matters.
Levi Mitchell
I don't see any problem
Brandon Morris
The site is probably just under heavy load. All the "my New Year resolution is to learn a new language" plebs are clogging up the site something fierce.
Jordan Ward
I'm learning French, Japanese, Russian, German, Spanish, and Portuguese. Focusing on Jap. atm though. Figure if I can get the hardest language down first I should be able to comprehend the rest easier.
Tyler Hughes
Why do you consider Japanese harder than Russian? Not saying otherwise, just genuinely curious.
Angel Murphy
How long did it take you to get to B2 and how did you do it?
Aiden Robinson
I've heard that they are each the hardest languages of each other from just information on other guide site and such but I expect Russian to be hard as well though not as hard because the characters seem not as foreign from English as japan's are.
Jack Garcia
¿Te gusta spen? ¿Te es fácil o difícil ?
Austin Rogers
Japan is only "difficult" in how much time you need to dedicate to learning at least the jouyou kanji.
Grammar is straightforward, it has very few exceptions to rules, no genders, and a fairly easy system for modifying words where you tack on the appropriate stem to the dictionary/plain form of a word. Speaking is pretty easy, too, since you don't have to fuck around with kanji and shitty handwriting.
Finally, you also have the benefit of there being a ton of resources out there to help you study.
With Russian you can figure out the characters in a few hours if you're slow, but the grammar rules and exceptions will take you longer to work out and perfect.
Grayson Ramirez
I see. the main thing I'm trying to do atm is find someone that's fluent or a native speaker that also knows English at least enough to where either I or we could both learn. It's difficult to find someone like that and be able to speak with them. I've realized that'd it's be easier to just learn how to speak it instead on learning to read and write it should make it a lot easier like you said. Grammar in any language is probably going to be the biggest bitch.
Cooper Thomas
As you mentioned, Japanese is much easier in speaking than writing because of kanji. There should be someone who's willing to do language exchange. Good luck for both of you :^) Ganbatte!

What do you guys use to learn new vocabulary?
Jace Taylor
Memrise isn't too bad. It isn't that great either but one thing it does have is ample variety and coverage
Landon Evans
Italian, don't mind if it's from English
Owen Turner
What is this application? Also seconding learning all the common-use kanji. That shit is invaluable and there is no reason aside from cowardice not to start early.
Daniel Rivera
That's Memrise.

William Gray
Was thinking of learning Vietnamese. Is it worth it?
Jeremiah Turner
Depends on how interested and motivated you are.
Gotta have some sort of drive or determination to stick with it once you hit a rough patch and have to slog through it.
Levi Allen
I'd shoot myself in the face before making myself listen to that language.
Mason Davis
yes helo yes yes i lik
William Cook
How do you guys actively practice the languages you're learning?
Right now I don't have time for for weekly tandem meetups and most of the online courses don't really seem to do it for me.
Kayden Flores
chat with sluts on hellotalk
Juan Miller
You need to build a routine and discipline. I usually do my flashcards and duolingo 2-3 times a day, at different times when I know I'll be free.
Joseph Bell
Hey is it just me or are Germans dickheads about other people trying to learn their language?
Brody Martinez
Guess why Captcha: steel sage
Cameron Evans
All my online friends are German, really useful for practice.
Bentley Green
Strange, my friends haven't been. They just sort of seem disgusted that somebody is speaking their language in a less than absolutely perfect and native level.
Christian Parker
Find better friends then. All this will only make you feel insecure and self-conscious and will limit your learning process
Luke Jones
Third declension best declension
Jaxon Miller
Fetti was geht?
Carson Diaz
Just crappy people, stay away from generalizations and keep looking.
Chrome extension which changes a few words on every page you load online to a different language, and you translate it correctly to earn points. I've been using it with French for a few months. It's good for vocabulary but not much else. The quizzes in particular are good. Supports quite a few languages.
Josiah Smith
ho w to russian cases? this stupid language is so hard but i want to learn it ;_;
