Share some nice German movies lads, no boring Nazi propaganda films, give me some good kino that teaches me some words. I'm a beginner in language learning.
Noah Murphy
Yes, German learner, tell me how you practice, what you learn, how you learned it, what's your level now and how long did it take you to get there. Thanks.

Letztes Jahr hatte ich in Deutschland gelebt. Ich hatte an einer Akademie Deutsch studiert aber nur für ein paar Monate. Jetzt lerne ich nicht so oft mit meinem Computer, zum Bespiel mit Duolingo, und geht mein Niveau runter, weil ich jetzt kaum Deutsch spreche. Als ich an der Akademie war, war ich in einer B2 Klasse. Jetzt denke ich, dass ich vielleicht B1 oder so bin. Ich finde es viel besser, wenn man mit Muttersprachler spricht. Im Moment kenne ich keine Muttersprachler, also kann ich nicht so gut üben.
Wie lange lernst du Deutsch und wie gut kennst du die Sprache?

You are a native English speaker. You are the most valuable asset of any language exchange website, fucking act like it and just message various people you like and ignore and delete those that you don't like.
Ethan Scott
The babby steps are: saying hello/how are you, ask about for how long they have been learning/ their reasons for learning, whether they've been to your country and abroad in general and all the other generic personal stuff.
Bentley Roberts
Is it a waste of time to learn German? Seems so many Germans already know English, but I find the language interesting.
Maybe Russian would be better for the future?
Tyler Wood
It's not a waste if your heart is in it and you plan on using it. The choice is yours.
Isaiah Howard
What do you guys think about making a group for students of a particular language? I've seen that there are several learners of Russian and French who post here, what if we made a group on telegram/discord and invited some native speakers to practise together. If I'm not mistaken Telegram can even maintain anonimity. Thoughts?
Easton Rogers
bum
Robert Thompson
I'm already a member of a few language learning groups. But the group is from Tumblr (I got invited by a friend, I don't actually use it). But the group is autistic as fuck. About 33% are random arabs and Iranians sharing links to various extremist groups, and if you question why there are so many muslims in the group, you get banned.
Telegram is good. You can remain anonymous. You do have to sign up via your phone number, but no one can actually see it.
Parker Jackson
Might be a dumb question but is it worth it to read a dictionary like a book? Just read through a French-English, German-English, etc dictionary all the way just so to start sewing the seeds of vocabulary in my brain? My biggest problem with language learning has always been in building vocab, my vocab sucks big time and I never understood how people can develop a strong vocabulary because when I would actively study I'd almost always run into a string of words that I just don't know.
Zachary Kelly
Not a good idea IMO. A dictionary is good for expanding vocab and searching terms you don't understand, but I thinki trying to read an actual book in a foreign language is better. Just read, try to piece things together with what you already know. I also think keeping in contact and using your vocab regularly, doing flashcards, will help (I've picked up quite a bit just by loitering around foreigners.)
Best of luck, user.

Started to learn Russian with Duolingo recently. Doesn't seem that hard. It's similar to Lithuanian and has similar words. Started to learn it because it'd be really useful. There's a bunch of information in Russian. Also it'd be good to be able to read and understand placards in Russian armored vehicles and such if the need arises

Sanskrit here.

Christian Jackson
The third floor, accents, double meanings of words, many exceptions from the rules, and a combo of negations. For example, yes no maybe - frequently used phrase that is difficult to understand learners. But I never studied lithuanian, so it can at its base is really not that difficult.

Anyone willing to help me with Greek, or willing to tolerate my broken French? I have good "roots" and a grasp of general Romance language concepts (solid Latin knowledge) so I pick them up fast, pronunciation and grammar wise. It would be a speed course, basically (just can't be arsed all alone). Someone to whip me everyday, relentlessly pushing onwards in conversation, occasional check-ups and such. A pedagogue-type of person, essentially
Also willing to help folk here improve their spoken English/English in general, and/or learn Serbo-Croatian and Latin
