I think Rosetta Stone may have something like that but I'm not sure.

How do I learn German? I've downloaded the German Learning Package, but I don't know where to start. Seems really impractical to study from those PDF files.
What would you lads recommend, what should I do and where to start? I know of that cool book Assimil Deutsch, but it's kind of expensive.
Dominic Ramirez
anyone here happen to know kanji?
Lucas Ramirez
Start with Pimsleur, listen to that on your commute or while playing vidya or watching sports or whenever.
Lincoln Torres
Should I torrent that or something, seems to be a resource you pay for.
Any other tips, some good websiter perhaps?
Nolan Hernandez
Yes you should definitely torrent everything. Especially Pimsleur which is ridiculously expensive.
Christopher King
Also, Pimsleur seems similar to Rosetta Stone and it seems to be only for listening comprehension and for improving speech. Not a lot about grammar and such.
Jeremiah Brown
I think piratebay has the first 3 units for German which should be more than enough for you before you advance to a textbook.You can check out lingvist, memelingo and memrise for some free stuff try and use all of them if you can, sticking to a single resource is not a good idea.
Kinda, it's to give you a good understanding of basic stuff before you go deep.

Apparently, we have a Serbian translation of the Assimil German book, which is fucking awesome because it's like 35$ unlike the English version which is around 100$.

...what do you mean? like...ALL the kanji?
I know ~500 or so subconsciously (as in, I can read that many) Probably 350-400 conciously
anything you need to know/need help with?
Luke Evans
...do I know you? If you'd like, I can give you a couple of resources that have helped me for SerboCro
me neither what would you like to know? Memorise the 120 words And then the grammar is pretty simple
"e" before the direct object. "li" after a subject that isn't 'mi' (I/me) or 'sina' (you) "la" after setting a context. e.g "tenpo kama la, sina kama sona e toki pona" ("In the future, you will learn Toki Pona. Lit. time come *la*, you come to know toki pona) Adjectives come after the nouns.
That's about it. Congratulations. You've learned a new language

What verb tenses are used in Spain but not used in Latin America?
Isaiah Hernandez
I not too sure if there are any which are used in one but not the other, however I believe some are used in different ways
For example, for something occured in the recent past, Spaniards tend to use haber + verb (e.g, Lo he enseñado) Whereas a Latino might say Lo enseñé.
However this is only talking about the "recent past". If it occured 12 hours ago, it doesn't apply. There are more examples but I can't quite remember them off the top of my head
Grayson Richardson
>Lo enseñé >Lo he enseñado Could you give a example in a sentence?
Blake Williams
>listen to that on your commute or while playing vidya or watching sports or whenever.
I must have a learning disability or something. I've been using Pimsleur for about 2 months and tried using it when I'm walking to work or when playing vidya and I CAN'T. It's impossible to pay attention or remember what is being said. The only way I can use Pimsleur is sat down at my computer with my complete focus on it.
Charles Cook
Spain: "¿Qué has enseñado a ese chico hace unos minutos?" "He enseñado mi nuevo reloj" (What did you show to that guy a few minutes ago? I showed him my new watch)
Latin America: "¿Qué enseñaste a ese chico hace unos minutos?" "Enseñé mi nuevo reloj"
So here the Latino speakers have used the preterito, and the Spaniard has used the present perfect tense (Not sure what this is called in Spanish).
Some native speakers will need to correct me, but I believe this is correct. Of course though, it all comes down to individual choice. Both are grammatically correct. >with my complete focus on it. I'm not sure what they advertise but this is the only way to learn a language. It's a massive mental task. It can't be done half-assed or subconsciously as some people claim
Ian Cook
Thanks

Yea obviously walking and driving it takes away from your focus, but metro, bus, ferry in shit like that it's a nice way.For vidya I guess it depends on how much you have to focus on the game.I can't focus on the thing if it's fps or whatever.But in chill mmos or rct it's easy to focus since you are not actively doing something most of the time.
Dominic Hill
Can some hungarian correct these sentences for me?
>talnulok nyevleket szabadidöban I learn languages as a hobby. >gondolom hogy magyar nyevl érdekes van I think Hungarian is an interesting language
Grayson Kelly
you'd probably wanna add le. "Le he enseñado", "Le enseñé"
Easton Green
From my understand the duplication of the indirect object pronoun isn't required
Eli Reyes
Not required but sounds more natural
Dylan Foster
>nyelveket tanulok a szabadidőmben that literally means I study languages in my free time, if you specifically want to say as a hobby then you can say "hobbiból or hobbiként"
>Úgy gondolom (hogy) a magyar nyelv érdekes >Szerintem a magyar nyelv érdekes
There's no copula (van) for third person subjects, except when expressing location or time
>Ez nagy. This is big >Ez itt van. This is here >A koncert ma van. The concert is today
Also it's nyelv not nyevl, don't know if typo, thought I'd mention it.

What do you do when you have those 2-3 days when, for whatever reason, you just feel mentally exhausted and know studying your language won't be as beneficial? In the last 2 days I have crawled through my textbook and exercises at snails pace and it was painful. Thinking about the language became very frustrating.
So I ended up studying nothing today at all and now I feel like I've made mistake. But what's the point of studying if you know you feel like shit and you would take anything in? I don't even feel burnt out, but just mentally unprepared.
Please help

People also use the present perfect here, but only for things that happened in the past that have a direct influence on the present situation. But yeah you can still usually get away with preterito. but like if you want to ask a question like "have you seen that movie", you need to say "has visto" and not "viste"
Cooper Butler
Ok Sup Forums I need your help with something. I'm an English teacher here and I'm planning to do a presentation at a teachers' conference about how it's possible to start from day one speaking in the target language. Here's the think though, I only speak English and Spanish. What language would you recommend that I learn in order to give this presentation? It needs to be relatively easy for me, but sufficiently different so that native Spanish speakers will not be able to easily guess at words because they are cognates (some cognates are fine, just not like a shitload of them). I have like 10ish months to learn it, but I don't have a ton of time to dedicate to it daily. I also have really shitty internet access, so ideally something with good resources I can download and do offline.
Juan Gray
kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Jose Collins
italian probably
Josiah Jackson
I mean it doesn't have to be the easiest possible option. I want to prove that even without cognates you can teach it. If I teach a romance language then I'm afraid the teachers I give this to will just use the excuse "well it's easier to start then English, so that why you were able to do it"
Lincoln Gray
you could do german (or any germanic language really) which should be somewhat easy because you know english already but the spanish speakers won't recognize the cognates
Aiden Clark
yeah but again, sort of the same problem. These teachers also speak English and will also recognize the cognates.

Hey guys,
I'm an American studying abroad in Spain (ignore the flag, Im visiting switzerland for the weekend). Anyway, Ive took about 6 years of spanish in high school, and I feel quite adept at Spanish; by the end of my semester I think my spanish skills will be pretty good.
Anyway, I was thinking about learning another language. What would you guys suggest trying to learn? I want to learn something a little different from spanish, but not like, say, mandarin. Any suggestions?
Jordan Parker
i want quick tips about pronouncing turkish names. for example, how do you pronounce the g in erdogan?
James Carter

you dont. but seeing how you're a foreigner, you can go with hard G. or make it softer and more.... ephemeral
Josiah Russell
How do you think European countries will respond to a lack of English language teachers post-Brexit? Although I don't do it now, when I taught in the past a large majority of the teachers were British. Plus the fact that many of these jobs are badly paid but desirable for parents in the European countries means that it may be harder to fill them through usual migration. Do you think they will offer sector specific free movement for jobs like this?
Jayden Barnes
At what tier are we talking? I None of the high schools I went to had actual british people teaching english for example. (Or germans for german. We had this one french woman for french, but she quit after a year)
I think the whole "native speaker teaching" shtick holds up more for a language that isn't much spoken/taught there anyway, so they need to "rely" on native speakers to train the first few generations. (When I left highschool for example, they were just starting a russian course which had two native ruskis)
