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!

I'm looking to try and learn German and French at the same time. Any suggestions for that in terms of how to go at it, or would you suggest just picking one first till a proper level and then the next?

Kig efter en serie som hedder "Broen", det er en dansk-svensk krimiserie som er ret god.

For "I only know him a little" is it: >Sólo lo conozco un poco or >Sólo le conozco un poco ?
I think it should be lo, but translators say otherwise. I mean "I know him" should be lead to a direct object pronoun used.
Justin Powell
Do one at a time. Doing two at once is going to cause a lot of confusion.
Kayden Perez
Conocer always takes an indirect object.
>Conozco a él.
Él in the dative is le, not lo, hence:
>Le conozco.

Advice for learning Russian for somebody who has learnt languages before?
Jayden Russell
You can do two languages at a time, that's reasonable. Just be organized, come up with a plan on how to effectively manage your time and weight things accordingly (how much time to spend on reading, writing, speaking, listening etc.)
Matthew Thompson
Thank you.

How many languages could someone realistically learn in their lifetime to a B2 level? 10-15?
Jordan Lewis
depends on how you count it if you count swedish danish and norwegian as 3 different languages then a lot more than if you decide that sort of stuff doesn't count

Eisbrecher is Rammstein but way better. Anyway, the aforementioned, Megaherz, Kraftwerk, Melotron, Sturm Cafe (Swedish but German lyrics), Unheilig etc.
Connor Long
I'm in the same boat with German.
Speaking of which, is there a rule regarding letters obtaining umlauts in verbs in certain forms? E.g. Fahren becoming Faehrst/Faehrt

Good luck!

i speak 4 foreign language and learning a fifth I do forget stuff, though... sometimes even very important stuff, not just a word or two I wish I was living in Belgium or Luxembourg, so I could make use of the languages I know

How the fuck do I practice translating complete sentences from English to German with the correct translations of both available to check my work?
Christian Rogers
I'm attempting to better understand the complex system of waggles and strutting my girls use to communicate vital information such as the location of pollen. I'll never be able to speak it, I guess, but maybe I'll be able to watch and see what all the "buzz" is about! Try watching German media with an English translation available. It won't be 1:1, but it will be better than nothing.

Could work, I guess I'd pause, read the English subtitles, translate it then listen to see if I was correct. I need to improve my vocal comprehension anyway captcha: schuhe 1100

Your knowledge degrades, you have to maintain it, at some point you don't have any time to do anything else. So realistically, 7.

Continually being encouraged and discouraged to study German.
Some days I can get a few sentences out without struggling too much, so i feel like im getting somewhere and then I want to study more. But then i'll listen to my coworkers speak and realize just how much is left to learn and it feels so daunting and like I wont be able to get to a decently communicative level by the time I leave Switzerland so I kinda just stop putting effort into studying

If you aren't comfortable with learning on a computer and its dangers of distraction, sure.
