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!

/r/ing the google drive folder some user put together that has language books for almost every single language. For some reason I can only find some beginner's latin textbook in my "shared with me"
Literally third link in the first post
Thank you. Now I'll be able to understand English.
Someone really needs to clean up the /lang/ first few replies. Put them in a pastebin or something and allow the first post to have a bit of creativity and variety like sino and Japanese thread. It's a mess that everyone just ignores.
Check the last thread, a different pic was put up and it died after 17 replies lmao
Pa gdje si ti srećo, koje jezike učiš, dragi?
The girl I'm tutoring in Spanish is getting better
Malditas sean las mujeres, mi amigo. Ellas sólo dejan un rastro de corazones rotos y la desesperación
Anything french for portuguese-br speaker???
Unsurprisingly, the thread died
Eh, it happens. The thread before last was bumped just before oblivion dozens of times too, the last one just got unlucky.
Eto nemski i švenski. Nemski do B2 doguro, sad treba progurat dalje (jebeni vokabular nije normalan), a švedski tek počeo. Ti?
Neće još, ne vodi ti brigu!

to the croatianons; do you all know some Croatian media(Media from other parts of ex-yugoslavia is fine too)
I'm learning Croatian/Serbo-croatian/whatever and i'm struggling to find good media and stuff
Midly interested in the language too. Mind sharing which sources you've been using?
What do you mean by media? I mean I could link you to our newsportals and shit, but not sure that's what you want. Name something specific and I'll have a look into it.
Music, shows, movies
I have 2 books:
The first one is "Dobrodošli" and only after i bought it i realized it's a school book, but i've been able to use it somewhat fine.But it's expensive and you can probably get a more useful book for a lower price.
The second is "Bosanski Jezik" it explains everything just fine and it has nice dialogues but it has no answers for the excercises, it's also super Bosnian so if you dislike Bosnia it wouldn't recommend it otherwise it's decent

What do you think would be easier to learn for an English speaker: Italian or French? I'd like to reach at least B2 in about three years or so in either one of these languages.
Is he /ourguy/
The difference in difficulty is neglectible. The language you are more interested in will be easier. Just go with your gut feeling.
In general French is way more relevant, having a presence on almost every continent while Italian is only spoken is Italy, the smaller parts of Switzerland and some micronations but this shouldn't deter you if you are more into Italian.
Why is his English so off? Is it autism?
Worse, he is a proto-leaf.
Thanks friendo. I'm more interested in Italian but for most jobs in the field I'm interested in (compling) they require proficiency in a "major European language." Would Italian be considered a major European language, or would this only describe French and German?
English is a major European language. So you can check that off
Well, people like to trash Italy for its structural problems but it still is a first-world economy with a population the size of Britain and a very high standard of living but so is France and French really dwarves Italian's global significance being projected to boast at least 700-800 million speakers going by current demographical developments, especially in Africa.
For example only French, English and German are the working languages of the European commission and French is the only working language of the UN secretariat alongside English.
But I'm not a fan of recommending people languages due to numbers like this. If it's for the job, and the job only, I'd choose French but if you already know that you'd prefer Italian beyond that then I'd choose Italian.
Languages are only as useful to you as you decide them to be to you. Learning a foreign language isn't only about sitting down and studying but also about putting yourself in situations, consciously, where you'd use your language.
Sorry I didn't clarify. I meant another major European language other than English
Thanks for the thoughtful response. After considering what you said, I've decided that I'll probably pick Italian. The truth is that I really have no desire to speak to French people or leafs. Even though Italy may be insignificant compared to other European countries, it's first-world so I'm sure I'll be alright.
If you are studying a language you have virtually no interest in than you are less like to succeed, more likely to burn out compared to studying a language you have a genuine interest in.
So it's better to go with your gut-feeling if you don't have ironclad habit formation skills and discipline or don't have the ability to 'induce' interest in yourself(you do that by retroactively looking for some element affiliated to the language that interests you after picking the language, I actually still recommend that with every language), though motivation isn't even enough for most people. Discipline beats motivation but obsession beats discipline. You should be aware of that.
Though for some people, being close and meeting native speakers of certain languages can be incredibly motivating and this is less likely to occur with more minor languages.
Yeah, good decision, go with what you're passionate about. Still.. vous devriez apprendre le français quelque jour.
Or, once you learn Italian, French should be easy to transition to later, especially since the vocabulary is 90% the same. Spanish may be even more so.
Romance languages are amazing things.
Oh, and 45% of all English words are of French origin, so you may be able to snag a couple more languages once you're really proficient in your one.
>If you are studying a language you have virtually no interest in than you are less like to succeed, more likely to burn out compared to studying a language you have a genuine interest in.
I forgot to add that this means you are more likely to learn neither language. By picking a language you are genuinely interested in you at least have a decent shot to succeed.
Not sure, music is a meme here, honestly. You could listen to Thompson lol, he sings about Croatia and history.
Regarding shows we have "Večernja škola", basically evening school, and it's some various shit they talk about every time, not even sure.
Movies, we really don't have any that aren't as old as a bible or from Yugoslavia. Most recent ones (and I can count them on the fingers) are pretty shit. "Metastaze" is decent, not ancient, and basically deals with hooligans, drugs and shit like that, basically every day life of a lot of people without future prospects.
Can't think of much else, there isn't that much honestly. Sretno s učenjem
should've gone with french
I'm an Anglo. I don't learn other languages. I lake other people learn mine.
I'll check those things out. thanks

Viel Glück beim lernen, du wirst's brauchen.
Must be fun being monolingual you dingus. It's not an achievement lmao.
