500 years old texts are quite easy, 1000 back individual words or the approximate meaning of some sentences from the context.
Zachary Stewart
To those who speak a language that's not spoken by a majority of people, only spoken in a country that gets little to no tourism, or by your small ethnic group, how do feel about people who want to learn it with their only reason being that it'll be fun to learn or out of curiosity?
Jordan Flores
Quite appreciative of their behavior , always nice when someone makes an effort

Il serait magnifique si quelqu'un posterait quelques choses qui pourrait m'aider à améliorer mon français. Au fait, quelle language, qui est similaire au français, devrais-je étudier après que je reçois un niveau C1?
Spanish is probably the easiest followed by italian

to be conscious of yourself in a negative way.

How long before I get to the unconscious competence part of learning a language?
Also, I'd like to learn more than a few languages. Say I learn French/German/Italian, does all the grammar and words get all fucky and confusing in your head? Or is it pretty natural to separate them when speaking/writing?
Henry Cook
>How long before I get to the unconscious competence part of learning a language? many hundreds of hours
>Say I learn French/German/Italian, does all the grammar and words get all fucky and confusing in your head? no not at all but it might if you start learning 2 languages at the same time from nothing
Daniel Moore
I can speak english and french, besides spanish and i want to improve, but for some unknown reason idk i'm stuck. I mean, i feel like learning new vocabulary it's useless because it doesn't stay in my head for long. I have tried making sentences but it just doesn't work. Any advice my friends?
Christopher Green
For the Ukrainian word "Cхoвaйcя": Does it translate to "Hide" or "Hidden"? And is the proper romanization Shovaysia?
Juan Cook
Memelingo-ing through some Turkish; came across this sentence:
Ördekler ekmek yer.
Is this correct? Isn't it supposed to be "yerler"?
Also, how is ğ pronounced
Kevin Robinson
it is correct you don't need ler/lar but you can if you want
ğ is pretty much silent but it sounds like the transition between the o and i in "doing" where the middle of your tongue is in the position to make a "k" sound but never touches the top of your mouth

I experience this with Spanish However I feel like it's not exactly as bad as it seems. When I first learned Spanish, if I learned 10 new verbs to add to my vocabulary of 350 words, that was massive However once you get to a point where you can hold a normal conversation, the only words left to learn are more obscure. And it's for that reason I think we don't feel like we're making progress. For example I learned the word "paliar" today. But honestly, how often do we use the word "alleviate" in standard conversation. In a few days I'll probably forget that I consciously know it (albeit I'll likely subconciously know it)
Blake Hernandez
It is really really appreciated. Read Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts.

Easton White
Ethnic Croat here. I'm not sure if I count because Croatia has lots of tourism. However, I do love it when I see non-croats speaking our language. Even when they make mistakes, I think it's so qt because it's pretty rare. However, I cringe when I hear people say shit like "I'm going to learn X language because X women are sooo hot!" Of course, this only occurs on Sup Forums and a few other places, but my point stands.

If you'd like, I have a few pdfs that might be of use to you. just let me know and I'll drop them on 8ch
Josiah Torres
It's "cхoвaтиcя" and it means "to hide (self)", a reflexive verb due to the "cя" part
Its proper Romanisation is: "shovatisya"
Jaxson Nelson

When learning hangul, should I concentrate on learning the readings of the already composed ones or just memorize the reading of each compound instead
Cooper Howard
There is a rule for this but before that let me tell you no one would care if you said it the other way instead since it's really insignificant for someone to notice.If the subjects are human then you can say "yerler" or "yer" and both will be correct, but if the subjects are not human then rule says you can't add "-ler" "-lar" to the verb.For example:
>Kızlar ekmek yer. >Kızlar ekmek yerler. Both are correct
>Ördekler ekmek yer. >Ördekler ekmek yerler. First is correct, second is not.
Robert Gonzalez
Yeah, same here.
Cameron Williams
Guys, how do you expand your vocabulary? Because this thing is essential in learning languages.
Adrian Richardson
read a kids book in that language. or just a novel.

Everyone should check out /r/languagelearning's wiki.
It has an insane collection of resources.
Sebastian King
I speak portuguese, italian and english and when talking to myself (which happens quite a lot) my ideads flow freely between all the languages that I know because I feel like one language have a better way of saying something, or one have a better specific word for what I am trying to say, so in my mind its all mixed up, then when I am actually speaking to someone I get confused really quickly and need to stop and think. Things get awkward really fast.
I feel this way too. The way I see it there are two types of memorization: the one where you retain the words in your memory, and the one where you can actually bring the words you need from your memory to your tongue during conversations (active recall). Many times when having (trying to have) conversations I cannot recall the word I, need even though I know that I know it, it is frustrating. What I try to do to mitigate this situation is speak outloud the words I know, having conversations with myself, repeating phrases from movies, series, etc...
Sebastian Scott

So you speak Upper-Hungarian, English and German?
Nice

Jacob Jones
I don't understand your implication, steppe Slav.
Justin Robinson
Not that guy you're replying to. There is a big difference between understanding a bastardized, misspelled and mispronounced "language" and to be able to consistently know all the variations to then be able to say that you can speak it.
Brandon Nelson
you are useless
Owen Brooks
Is there a difference in meaning having or not having -ler/-lar on verbs for human subjects or is the difference just trivial

Carter Perez
>learning Esperanto because it's easy and I'm bored >everyone in the community is a massive faggot
Joseph Roberts
No difference in meaning at all, most people don't even know this is part of the grammar since it's a really arbitrary one.
Dylan Price
Wow, it's almost like the community is filled with people like you :^)
Benjamin Powell
>because it's easy and I'm bored I can tell you won't learn it. Not one bit.
Sebastian White
That was a bit of an oversimplification. I'm enjoying learning it. After a few weeks I can already listen to music and understand a good bit. I will say it has been much simpler than Turkish though. So far at least.
Now that you put it like that I guess it's a match made in heaven.
Oliver Stewart
Guys I'm learning Russian, do you know some good Russian movies/series? I'm talking Sopranos/Breaking Bad tier if possible, or even something like Friends

>Cymraeg whenever i read this I always see cumrag.
Sebastian Russell
Okay so you're defending your language as being as proper as Swedish but how well would you defend other dialects in Scandinavian countries. In other words, would you defend Jysk or would you be like the Swede and call everything that's not Rigsdansk a bastardization.
(Not assuming anything of you personally, just curious of how Scandinavians think.)
