Check the first few replies ITT for plenty of language resources as well as some nice image guides. /lang/ is currently short on those image guides, so if you can pitch in to help create one for a given language, don't hesitate to do so!

Been studying Finnish for about 2 months now, I can have very basic conversations and can understand somewhat what people tell me if it remains in simple vocabulary. Of course writing without mistakes remains difficult with all the cases and stuff but it's getting there.
if so many people are studying nipponese, why are so many animes still untranslated into English? Get working, you weeaboos!
Can anyone recommend me resources for Arabic? What dialect should I learn?
Is there an Sup Forums duolingo club?
blump since old thread is probably close to bump limit
best way to learn German words? there is so many of them.
>tfw halfway through learning German
>hope it doesn't become obsolete in the next 20 years
Do you guys know any resources for reading simple chinese texts? I just finished the HSK3 vocabularies, so it would be great if any of knew a website or a book, which has texts on this level.
>try to learn russian
>give up before I even get started
Clubs are only visible for specific languages, there's no duolingo-wide club. There would need to be a club for every language Sup Forums's studying on the app.
I'm sure theres people here that wouldnt mind if there was a club for each language.
(I'd join a German one if i wasnt using my real name on duolingo :^))
also, does Pimsleur German use polite speech for the entire damn time? I wanna hear "du" once in a while, i've had enough of "Sie"
...
Learning Portuguese right now, but having trouble finding good sources. This thread is the fucking mortherlode though, thanks cunt
Anyone here studied Esperanto? How was it?
Pimsleur doesn't leave enough time to talk. I can't even fit it in my own language sometimes let alone a new one.
I find myself pausing quite often. Im still too new to come up with sentences as fast as they want me to ;_;
Same. Michel Thomas tells you to pause it, Pimsleur I think we aren't supposed to. I think that's part of the idea, but, newer stuff I need more time (a pause). I've tried a few times to just roll with it but then I end up speaking over half the answer, or at the same time, as that isn't very helpful.
Egyptian is apparently the one to go for if you don't have a preference for any particular dialect.
Can someone explain if there is a difference between a Swedish ö and a German ö, for ex. in a word bög. Is it the same sound (ignoring the "ah" part that follows böahg)

How accurate is this chart and how long will it take me to get to russian a1 and a2
>What language are you learning?
Lithuanian and Polish
>Share language learning experiences!
Having fun with both; increased confidence with Lithuanian is improving my Polish learning as a result. No idea why it took me a decade to actually sit down and learn a language or two.
I read Der Spiegel or /deutsch/ and just copy down words I don't know and then make flashcards. It's been somewhat successful, wish I was speaking it somewhere
Why don't you post the imgur links anymore
Your health is more important
Been studying English for the GRE test.
Fucking hell, why is English vocabulary so confusing?
This chart is shit. Learning a language isn't about learning words.
How are you supposed to learn a language without knowing the words? The only way you learn is by understanding and creating meaning, thus words or rather word-stems is essential.
Of course learning words is a part of the process, but it's not essential enough to be used as a way to determinate the language level of a person.
Some people can have a quite reduced pool of vocabulary and still come up as fluent because they saw lots of people speaking the language and learnt how to imitate them so when they speak they always manage to answer. Meanwhile, some people will have an extended pool of vocabulary but will have a poor capacity to express themselves of to understand what a native speaker is saying because they lack the grammatical automatism of the language, it's usually true for university students who have to learn lists of vocabulary, do grammar exercise, but get less occasions to practice the speaking.
Anybody here learning/struggling with English?
I like talking to people from around the world and learning about different countries and culture. If you would like, I'd be glad to add you on Skype (text or voice) and help you practice your English. I've made ~10 friends from Sup Forums doing this before and still keep up with them after years of contact. (Besides, there are people who charge $35+/hour for Skype sessions and I'm offering it to you for free)
I don't care where you are from or if you're basically fluent; the only things I ask for is that you be able to speak more than like 4 words of English and are not a 50 year old pedo
Any takers hmu and I'll respond

Do you watch or read things in the language that you are learning ? also stop being autistic and find a cutie to practice texting in the language. Cause if you are trying that hard and still failing your method is lacking something.
I don't know whether to learn Japanese or Arabic. Japanese culture is interesting (muh anime) but something about Arabic is just neat. Keep in mind I speak English as a native language and speak Mandarin as well.
Does someone maybe know a way to make one start liking a language?
Specifically, I'm asking about spanish, I don't like the sound of the language, and I find no appeal in spanish or latin american culture. I have a reason to learn the language, but if I don't like it it's hard for me to get motivated.
wow, rude
I'm learning German right now. I'm on my way to Salzburg to study. I try to talk with /Deutsch/ but it always seems as soon as I make a spelling/grammar/article mistake, they'll start speaking very colloquial.
I want to shitpost with actual German speakers, but I get shit on whenever I post
Speaking as someone who has learnt a little of both:
Arabic will anally rape you, and not in a good way. The verbal stem derivations alone are mind-bending.
Are dialects any simpler than MSA?
To be honest, I don't know. I limited myself to Qur'anic Arabic. Maybe that was why I gave it up.
Why aren't you learning Hmong, user?
I've got the same problem user. Got a weak reason to learn Italian but i have no interest in the language or Italy.

i'm so excited that I will be able to chat again with the lads... and practice my english at the same time
There is a discord, not sure what the link is but probably in the archive somewhere. I have no idea if it is active.
it's pretty active still
Where do you practice the languages you are learning? Are there any foreign posters in non-English forums and message boards other than the language forums? Is that even a thing? All good web content is in English anyway.
kek this partially answers my questionlearning anything other than english online is futile unless you have a chance to practice it irl

I have been learning French for a couple of weeks. Starting to recognize words in speech and songs. I just can't pronounce the nasal vowels though I tried to watch several videos for them they still seem alien to me especially the difference between in and en (for example: enfin). Maybe I'll get them later.
>especially the difference between in and en
We Québécois generally can't tell the difference either way French people say it, to our ears they say "enfant" and "enfin" the same. In fact, all of their vowels are practically the same, for example to our ears they also say "un" and "en" the same.
If nothing else, I hope that can cheer you up slightly.
yea I have been checking the pronounciation on an online vocabulary and some words have accented pronounciations like Quebec and some of them are way different than France's French. Also I read that Frenchmen in northern France dont care about the correct pronounciation as much as people in southern France.
Also it feels weird to say so much these small words like un, ans, en
But yeah French has been really fun language so far. I have started to notice some patterns in the speech and written text
I've actually met 7 or 8 people from Sup Forums and I rarely ever post here anymore lol.
Shame everyone here has perfect English
It's still there.Actually there are 2 groups.
If you have a telegram account send a message to @MrSkelly and @Sebastian0815 for each group
What's the difference between the two?
Are there any free/piratable audio books/CDs/whatever to help someone at an intermediate level learn German? Might as well do something while I drive and don't feel like listening to music

Not him but touch the bottom of your top two teeth with your tongue and blow and follow it with "ree". I really don't get how central yurop struggles so much with that

Wait, not central. You're west, right?
Anybody here looked at Romansch?
After learning a decent amount of French, I'd like to try another romance language.
Dutch does not have the thr sound.
Like how you guys have to learn a different r for Spanish or French.
I know you don't, neither does German. I just find it odd that people struggle with it so much even without it as a first language
Does anyone know of a site to search a Japanese word and get a list of all its counters? I’d rather have a way to immediately find the counter I need for a specific word than to have to scan a table of counters to find one. Is there anything like this? Or am I overestimating the number of counters, and an easier way to find them just isn't necessary?
Really sick of Brazilians telling me "como estás?" is Spanish.
Also sick of them asking me if I know Spanish.
Other than that they're pretty friendly and chill folk.
Qualquer um outro está a aprender português?
I think youre over estimating them.
en.m.wikipedia.org
All you really need in your day-to-day is in the common counters table. If you're in a pinch and cant remember the counter, you could also say #つの○○ (eg 3つの犬 instead of 犬3匹)

The first is more vivid than the second. But both share the same purpose: find a user that speaks your target language and practise with him, post lang gains and share new lang sources (but in reality people end up just shitposting a lot)
>Go to polish Barber shop
>One of the Barbers sees me enter but doesn't know whether to approach me in Dutch or Polish
>I mutter"h-he-hello"
>He starts speaking in Dutch
>To autistic to ask him to speak Polish
Como estás is odd for most brazilians for 2 reasons.
Firstly, we use the verb "ir "to ask how someone is doing.Example: "Como vai?// Como vais?". I believe Portugal uses both verbs for greetings
Secondly although correct, the majority of brs are not used to be treated by the tu pronoun (Rio and São Paulo literally never use them, it's always "você") and when they hear you, imediatelly assume you're just another gringo who thinks Brazil speaks spanish rather than realise it's just "como tu estás?" which is plain good portuguese. Only northeners and southerners (and tugas) still use tu extensively
Good luck btw

Apparently they all speak English though, so that's my in.
Do you have any specific questions about Romansch? I believe I can help

What is the difference between г and х in Ukrainian?
What is the commonality? "P" is rolled, and "Х" is a simple "h". Pronounce "home" with an accented "h", feel the "stop" in your breath as your tongue hits your palate and you've hit the Slavic "h"
The 'г' is a 'g', is it not?
veganism is the way
You know, I saw the "г" there and thought it was an "r" letter...Now I see it's the "ge", which indeed in Ukrainian is "h"
In Russian, but in Ukrainian it is also h.
It kinda is in southern Russian, too, presumably also in Ukrainian.
