Classical vs Church Latin? I think Classical, most of the things sound way cooler and original. What do y'all think?

Anyone have some decent Bulgarian audiobooks? By decent I mean spoken in a natural way and without shitty musical interludes taking up half the time.

Another aids "what language" user here. Been wanting to learn a language for ages and was one point learning spanish, eventually lost interest (wasnt really my choice to choose). Can someone point me towards a language that has its own distinct culture. But on the plus side not too rock had in difficulty and at least useful. I just want to be bilingual and invest into a different culture to my own. A long list and probably asking for a miracle but any answers or advice is welcome, thanks.
Brayden Bailey
Since your native tongue is English, you would have an easier time learning some European language.Below is a site which may be helpful if you want to compare difficulties, it's for English speakers.
>Can someone point me towards a language that has its own distinct culture. But all languages have that, do you mean someting more exotic then what you are accustomed to?
Michael Flores
desu classical, mostly because if you learn that it'll be easier to adapt to other forms.
the Sinai bible is in greek.
Jackson Hughes
Yeah something more exotic and thanks for the reply appreciate it.

I'm doing it for the literature and poetry. I have no idea which language has the most. Japan? China?
Luke Sanchez
I don't really understand why Chinese is considered so hard. The grammar rules are basically non existent. If you really want to be good at writing them, it might take a while longer, but getting to the point where you can recognize a character is pretty quick. Only thing that's really hard with the language is tones, but I think that people will really know what you mean whatever way you say a character in a conversation, like people will hear what they want to/should hear.

25 fucking dollars for a single app. Anything free?
Benjamin Perry
use the desktop version, it's free.
Jeremiah Hill
Is there any way to improve my English pronunciation alone? Honestly I have no idea what I'm even supposed to do. Should I start with learning the sounds of the English alphabet first?
Dominic Brooks
english pronunciation makes little sense when you look at the spelling of words so you probably need to learn how everything is pronounced by speaking with people
Connor Jenkins
Oh phuck, I was hoping that wasn't the case. I'm too socially retarded to speak with people. Thanks anyways.

Daniel Long
how long does it take a japanese person to write easily?
Tyler Brown
Learn Turkish. It's exotic but not a grammar cluster fuck like Slavic languages and it won't take you 10 years like Chinese and Arabic would.
Thomas Young
I had a drunken night of debauchery and actually spoke intelligible Spanish with some top Mexican dudes
No matter how shit it really was, my confidence is boosted.
Tyler Mitchell
My understanding is that Chinese's difficulty really ramps up in the mid to late intermediate phase which most westerners never get to.
Jose Green
handwrite kanji or like write a paper?
Wyatt Cook
It's probably all the proverbs, abbreviatio s, and wordplay that absolutely saturate Chinese.
I'm reading a book about how poetic sort-of language influences everyday life and it's like discovering your house is already half-eaten with termites. I can see the disaster ahead of me despite not being there yet.

Eli Morales
Japanese and Chinese are fairly equal in this regard. Only issue being that their classical literature and poetry are quite different to the modern language you'll learn
Nicholas Ortiz
which is "easier?" I'm not necessarily looking for a huge challenge. I think Japanese is linguistically, correct?
I don't even know if I could from the looks of it. There's so many alphabets an shit
Tyler Peterson
Grammatically speaking, Chinese is like learning how to play tic-tac-toe. Whereas Japanese is like learning how to play Chess on a 3d hologram board while upside down.
Learning either Hanzi (Chinese) or Kanji (Japanese) is a fucking pain in the ass. It takes a lot of time. But Japanese is better in this respect because at least you can fall back on the other alphabets if you don't know the kanji. Don't stress about learning hiragana and katakana in Japanese. They both take like 2 weeks each to learn.
Japanese pronounciation is quite easy. Whereas Chinese is quite hard for foreigners, especially those who aren't used to tones.
All in all, they're both very hard and I wouldn't recommend either of them to anyone as a hobby unless they have 10 years of their life they don't want back.
Josiah Diaz
Korean writing is extremely easy if that's what you want
Benjamin Morgan
This desu
Vietnamese is also relatively easy. But the tones are annoying
Nicholas Moore
First point, you're using Tanz, so a noun, which translates more to "I've learned dance". Also, singular nouns always have an article in German.
Second, I'm not 100% sure as my German is a bit rusty, but "als" means "as" yes, but more in the sense of "as in the manner of" or "like". Also, Kinder is plural, so what you said is more "I've learned Dance like children". My gut says the translation ought to be more like >Ich habe gelernt zu tanzen weil ich ein Kind war/weil ich erwachsen war.
Ryder Thomas
Weil means because m8, als war richtig >Als Kind habe ich gelernt zu tanzen >Als Erwachsener habe ich das Tanzen gelernt
Angel Thompson
Rip, german too rusty and mixed up weil and while.

in italy we study it with church pronunciation in high school, but I know that at university they prefer classical one still medieval pronunciation is closer to italian so way easier
