What have you done today for your language studies friends?
Didn't do much, barely 10 minutes of memrise.
Jackson Nelson
I am trying to start learning Japanese again. I spent a few years learning it in the past on the side, then switched to Russian for a while in College. Now since I have some free time I am trying to come back to it. Mostly just going over old notes and working on re-familiarizing myself with the basics.
I only ever learned language with Assimil, is Duolingo anygood?
Elijah Jenkins
I can't pick a language and nobody around me speaks another one. The curse of being British.
What do?
David Lee
I want to learn a Finno-Ugric language, should I go for Sami or Finnish?
Bentley Peterson
Jag har börjat lara mig svenska sen 6 manader.But I'm like really rusty right now with other stuff I had to do, I can understand B1 but speak maybe A2.Sen nar har ni studerat svenska?Do you also speak other languages?Also added in your resource.
If you already know a bit, then it's not that helpful.
Jackson Robinson
Just pick one, get a solid base in your target language and then start looking for native speakers on the internet. That's my plan with Finnish at least.
Ayden Bell
I've done that before but I get bored of not really having a use for them. The languages I'm closest to in terms of heart are people whose cultures I'm not interested in. I end up stopping halfway.
Jose Morgan
Själv blev jag intresserad av svenska för ganska länge sedan (i mina tonår). För det mesta har jag lärt mig själv, men har också tagit 2 halvårs kurser på universitetet. Sedan dess har jag inte "pluggat" svenska ordentligt, men jag har läst svenska böcker nästan varje dag de senaste åren. På universitetet tog jag till och med 4 kurser i finska, men sanningen att säga har jag tappat motivationen (för tillfället :^)) och förstår väldigt lite. Grekiska är det språket som fascinerar mig nuförtiden.
Fuck learning a language based on how "useful" it is.
Easton Smith
Du lernst auch Finnisch?
Dylan Gutierrez
None of them really. Unless I learn a poo-in-loo language, Arabic or Somali - but I don't want to hang out with those.
Charles Williams
Sami has several distinct dialects. There is no single sami language.
Finnish has most speakers (if we don't count Hungarian) and it is closest so Sweden.
Jordan Howard
Sami languages Pros: Spoken in northern Sweden (I plan on moving there in the future), the people that speak it has a cool culture, it has few speakers so by learning it I help preserve the languages Cons: Few speakers so not much use, Samis all speak Swedish anyway, harder to find a teacher
Finnish Pros: Sounds cool, lots of speakers, useful if I visit Finland, will allow me to participate in Finnish memes Cons: None
I really wish I could learn both but that's too much for my brain to handle
Eli Davis
pretty sure they speak some kind of swe-fin pidgin in northern sweden close to the border
Bentley Roberts
In Tornedalen they speak Meänkieli which is like Finnish with Swedish words thrown in here and there
Oliver Cox
Would they bitch about you learning "their" language like some American Indians do?
John Gomez
Probably not. I think the situation is different because Samis and Swedes are both white amd we haven't treated them as badly as the Americans did with their natives
Noah Fisher
How were they treated?
And hey, at least they weren't treated as bad as the Ainu were by the Japs.
Jose Cooper
Ignored for most of history. Then during WW2 and slightly into the 60s our government went slightly nazi and decided to try eugenics. Finns and Samis classified as subhuman and so a bunch of their women were forcefully sterilized. Samis were also not allowed to speak their language
Today it's the opposite, Samis are treated very well by our government who gives them lots of money and privileges to preserve their culture and language. The only Swedes who still hate Samis are some autists here on Sup Forums
Asher Walker
Hi Seb
James Gutierrez
>but you something something that is! I'm sure I'll get to it eventually, cпacибo!
Henry Roberts
Also learning Finnish, how are you getting your 'solid base' friend?
Easton Smith
I feel that drinking energy drinks (specifically Monster) really helps my language studies. Try it sometime
Carson Hernandez
I finished the skill tree and didn't get that Do you have to get to level 25 too?
