It's suffering these past few weeks, but that's expected, how much can you talk about learning a language anyway.Are you learning a language?
Justin Stewart
I think you should remove duolingo, it is worth nothing. After(if) you finish you wont know any more than the first two or three chapters of any book and it will take you much more time. Not only that you are working for free for them.
Gabriel Lewis
Hmm.Well I don't think it's as useless as you say it is, it can be if you treat it like a game and just look at the answers and go through the thing.But you can learn a lot from it if you practice daily and the only reason it's on OP is because it's completely free, there are much better resources out there for sure but they are not as easily accesible and/or free.I also don't mind being a shill for duolingo as a side effect of these threads as it helped me quite a lot I have to say.

Why is Hebrew so fucking difficult?
Gabriel Green
>5 more days to brush up on my german to at least B2 level after not speaking it for 20 years
I've skimmed through 2 books and it's a hopeless endeavour. Speaking a language is definitely not like learning to drive a bike.
Cameron Torres
I started learning Russian just a few days ago. Hopefully I can stick with it. I've been pretty interested in it for a few years now.
Eli Roberts
I'm just learning Swedish for now.What language are you learning?
Ryder Brooks
HelloTalk is full of normies
Michael Carter
Well, if you have any quastions about the grammar, vocabulary or anything related to Russian ask me. I will help you.

Damn, the french subjunctive is hard.

Tips for consolidating vocabulary.

Adrian Taylor
Learning English. To be more specific, I have to learn more vocabulary. Although I know how to make sentences, I sometimes feel like I don't have enough words for expressing what I've got in my mind.

Justin Bennett
Does Hebrew have weird gender rules for verbs?
Well you can try these but I imagine they are also full of normies
Listen to radios, watch movies/TV programs and read a lot. Don't forget to practice pronunciation. HelloTalk is a great app for learning languages. You cam chat with people around the world and have calls. Besides you can know qt's
Jose Price
who learning italian hier ?
Alexander Thompson
I use forvo, but I can not consolidate it well.
Me.
Camden Kelly
These are correct but no one uses imperfect subjunctive in everyday speech. Even in written language it's rare.

What level are you at Esperanto, and how many hours did it take for you to get there?
Matthew Hughes
I'm not sure what my level is, but I can read and write Esperanto at an intermediate level, and hear and speak Esperanto at a beginner level. I became confident in Esperanto after about a year.
Connor Taylor
That shit looks like Finnspañol. Who can you find to speak that with anyway?
Ian Howard
What's the go to book for Persian?
Daniel Moore
...
Zachary Wright
ok spanish bros, pls help me out. I understand the basic concepts/ rules of using the subjunctive (i.e. verbs with influence, uncertainty), but I've been watching El Internado recently and it seems like a bunch of the time they'll use subjective when I would have expected indicative.
Is it more or less up to the speaker sometimes (like a sentence could possibly use either???)
Also how the fuck can anyone understand Cubans
Brandon Perez
If you come across examples, write them down and post them here, otherwise it's hard to know what you mean.
But it's one of the things foreigners usually consider the hardest.
Bentley Long
Knowing when to use the subjunctive is definately the most difficult aspect of Spanish. Are Cubans the ones that drop their s' at the end of words?
Lincoln Nguyen
Anyone else get bummed out when they think where they'd be if they stuck to a language they gave up?
I first started Italian ~8 years ago but i rarely stuck to it for more than a couple of months and after a period of months/year i'd start again spend 2 weeks catching up 1 month learning and then give up again for 6 months.
Fuck i'd be fluent now instead of barely able to understand simply conversations and read basic native materials :(
Leo Cooper
Why subjunctive for these 2?
Lincoln Wright

why do we only use the prepositional for just a few of the prepositions? in в, o and нa we have to use it but not for the rest..need an explanation or rule for this one
Grayson Lopez
Any Rusbro or Russian-speaking user mind sharing his learning material?
Evan Butler
I don't think it's possible to become fluent in anything without complete immersion desu. maybe take an extended vacation to Italy to make up for lost time
Andrew Scott
Nigga there's thousands of perfectly fluent English speakers who never set foot in the UK/US here.
git gud
Brandon Russell
that's a false comparison because English is omnipresent in all parts of Europe throughout childhood.
Jordan Baker
You vastly over estimate the presence of English in Europe.
The EU is not a US colony senpai.
Robert Wright
It doesn't matter who's a colony of who; the fact remains that someone born in France will be exposed to English from cradle to grave, especially in childhood, in the form of things like video games and television shows. The opposite is not true for Italian, especially in Great Britain.
Joseph Torres
All video games, movies and tv programs are dubbed here, you dummy
>let me tell you how your country works
top kek
Brody Roberts
Buddy, the French government can't go through and dub everything on the internet which is the primary mode of consumption for young people.
>top kek
not an argument
Jose Baker
>video games dubbed by default >tv dubbed by default >netflix dubbed by default >facebook all in French because they normies are monolingual
need I go on?
How about I don't teach you about burgers and you don't tell me how English is taught in France.
Kayden Evans
Don't speak Spanish, but I imagine it's similar to Italian, where the subjunctive can be used with a restrictive function.
So, the places THAT you have discovered (and not the other places).
Bentley Bell
i look at my phone a lot since we're in 21st century. so i just decided to change my language settings in x language.
it's pretty effective imo
Jose Morales
phones are bad for you
Jason Gomez
and so is eating a girls bootyhole but we all do it anyway.
Gavin Evans
yeah what the italian said. Also Native-ish (I stopped speaking it as my primairy language of conversation some years ago, as a result my Spanish is perfect) but it also seems to have an air of meaning as "places that you may have discovered" "places that you may have heard of". It definitely also gives an air of fanciness.
Jose Martinez
I haven't :((((
Jonathan Murphy
does your mom's pussy give an air too?
Hunter Richardson
Spain spanish is retarded. Just replace hayas for has.
Dominic King
No, it's authentic and you version of Spanish is retarded.
Asher Sullivan
says the guy speaking retarded Russian
Jackson Sullivan
I know that Russian is retarded without you telling me.
Joseph Jenkins
American delusions concerning the use of English in non-speaking English countries are hilarious. They probably use it to justify their own incompetence when it comes to learning languages. >t-they can only speak English because they've been exposed to it since childhood >i-it's the only way to become fluent, I-I'm not retarded/lazy

Benjamin Garcia
Starting with the Turkish TeaTime podcast. Lesson 1 was Hello how are you Lesson 2 way harder with sentences, too steep curve. See pic.
William Carter
Well this is just showing you simple stuff one uses all the time while constructing a sentence.If you think this is boring or too early try doing Pimsleur before you get into grammar rules, you will progress faster that way.
Jaxson Rodriguez
who /íslenska/ here? im studying because i want my own norwegian to be less influenced by latin/greek. for example i would rather say "saga" than "historie", or "allmennt" instead of "generellt"
Zachary Perez
But saga is also used in other languages like Dutch and German.
Eli Gonzalez
yes, because those are all Germanic. the word "historie" (in both Norse and Dutch) comes from Latin "historia", whereas "saga" is a Germanic word.
I don't see why one would make that big of a fuss of which words to use though. being against plopping English words down in every non-English sentence is a sentiment I share, but words that have been taken from other languages hundreds of years ago don't bother me.
Carter Brooks

Any good grammar books for german that fellow learners could recommend?

There are a lot of people who speak it, and a lot of websites/forums/messaging groups for people who speak it.

Spanish, like most Americans. I'm actually getting pretty good. I know basic grammar and my vocabulary isn't bad
