Wyatt Turner
What language is that?
Michael Campbell
Toaq. It's an engineered language, like lojban, but it handles grammar via tones.
Ryan Morgan
Actually checked out the language thread on /t/ today, and found a Akkadian language course. Reading through one of the pdf-files now, looks quite interesting. Probably the most useless thing I've ever devoted time on though, lol
Angel Turner
>165 cards pending review I hope I get good enough soon where I can do actual fun things
Dylan Watson
Most languages aren't all that practical to know in the end, except the most widely spoken ones. As long as you had fun, it wasn't useless.

normies love those kinds of things. they are friendly and inviting and make them feel good. we're too jaded and depressed to appreciate little ""clever"" things.

I've been listening to German radio. A liberal German has said
> Ich möchte nicht mehr in Ur-Germania leben. Ich will in viele Kulturelen Deutschland leben.
which means
> I don't want to live in Ur-Germania anymore, I want to live in current Germany, which has many cultures.
I can't understand what he's saying though: "Ur-Germania." What is he saying?
Jayden Fisher
"ur-" is like "proto-": a primitive version of something
Carter Lee
Ni eskolara joaten naiz, eta oso ondo da. Japonia oso ona da.
Nathan Gutierrez
oh that makes sense. He was saying he doesn't want to live in Old Germany, which only had white Germans. He wants to live in New Germany, which is multicultural.
Blake Clark
yeah, correct. note that "ur-" isn't always necessarily negative"
Mason Cruz
Anyone else here conlang? I used to, I'm thinking about starting one again.
Owen Lopez
> Conlanging is the creation of constructed languages or conlangs, such as Esperanto, Lojban, or Klingon.
oh god
Connor Sullivan
Is there something like rikaichan for other languages? Also, how many languages do you find it feasible to study at one time?
Mason Gomez
Everyone I know that conlangs has a self-important abrasive personality. So I would say get over yourself and get off your high horse.
Isaiah Nelson
Hahaha, snobs?
Julian Smith
Pretty much. They don't even do it with the goal of creating a complete and viable language, they only work on it enough to be able to flaunt it in front of friends and strangers in order to get praise. Sad empty shells is what these people are, probably compensating for something or they got too coddled as a child, I don't know.

I know a girl who learned Elvish, that language from Lord of the Rings.

Would you say that guy who wrote Lord of the Rings calls under this category?
Nathaniel Fisher
Tolkien spent his whole lifetime toiling away to make his universe coherent and make his languages as viable as possible. This is different from hipster nerd in their early 20s looking for attention.
Justin Richardson
Easiest way to learn Persian?
Brody Myers
get a qt persian gf
Samuel Ramirez
I have started to learn Spanish through Duolingo since I need to know it if I wanna live in Panama. It's going pretty well actually. I also realized that I can still understand Esperanto decently after not having done anything with it for like 5 years at this point.
Benjamin Bennett
Why is a Maltese moving to Panama for?
Ethan Cooper
Ever been to Malta? It's basically a dusty rock.
Dominic Stewart
I'm not Maltese, I'm Swedish. I wish to acquire a second citizenship, and Panama seems nice.
Justin Morris
>mfw there isn't an italian to spanish course on duolingo, so i just study spanish trough english
Noah Ross

Grayson Gutierrez
I see. What made you choose Panama?
Brayden Watson
someone redpill me on biblical greek
Oliver Nguyen
They have some kinda friendly nations visa I can apply for, look it up.
Carson Parker
how do you guys stay motivated to keep learning? I haven't touched French in 2-3 months, fucking kill me
Jayden Davis
Vous parlez anglais?
Jaxson Taylor
Same, but the opposite way Actually prefer it that way
Owen Butler
Oui, je parle l'anglais, et l'espanol
Dylan Rivera
im currently learning french with the michel thomas method so far so good, im halfway through the foundation cds and have learned a lot, although i can't speak for the rest of the course
Jacob Carter
Parler le francais est tres facile pour toi, parce que il y a beaucoup des similarites linguistiques entre le francais et ton langue?

Is the Dutch Z like the English one or more close to a French J? I've been hearing both

It's somewhere in between. Closer to /z/ than /Z/ from what I've heard, though it might vary by dialect. is /Z/ though.
Wyatt Foster
Massive bump!
I've never seen decimals for the language level thing. What does it mean? If this is the normal levels (a1-c2) then I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now. (although the 63/100 feels bad. But the entire last page was filled almost entirely with words I didn't know).
To make this more discussion worthy: what level are you for the language you're learning? Any particular things you're trying to work on?
Daniel Allen
Abomination.
Josiah Hernandez
Disgusting
Ethan Rodriguez
Never seen decimals for that scale myself. I was assessed to level "B1/B2" in Arabic once, which I interpreted as being too smart for B1, but too dumb for B2. I guess it's the same in your case, though what difference there is between a pure B2 and a B2.1 I have no idea. Must be something very small
Dylan Ramirez
Don't the torrents have viruses/keyloggers and the like?
Sounds interesting. Is it logical like lojban as well?
Kayden Allen
I'd say your mostly right but the cutoff sounds a bit more like ''lay-zetah-zuni'' (since ''s'' always carries over to the start of the next word that starts with a vowel)
Kevin Lewis
Do you guys use any custom word memory card software?
Dylan Campbell

I speak enough French to read a Wiki article and understand 80-90% of it without a dictionary, enough Latin to read poems with a dictionary, and am beginning to learn Hebrew.
Christopher Long
Hey I wanted to ask you, I heard that jews usually have hebrew class (when they go to the synagogue maybe?). Did you start learning it in that context or did you only recently start from scratch?
Hudson Hernandez
I started from scratch. Most Jews go to Hebrew school (my siblings did) but I didn't; my house was busy af already
Ryan Diaz
pardon the phoneposting, but i guess german likes to dick around with decimals
Jayden Young
is japanese easier than russian for a turk to learn?

Yea and it's said turk is the easiest langue for us to learn.

All varieties of Greek are the same language with some changes. Biblical Greek is basically modern.

Joseph Young
>What language are you learning Trying to get back into Latin and ancient Greek. Also doing some Chinese and Czech for fun
I want to focus on improving my German and French though, they're more useful atm (of course Chinese is very useful, but the effort/result ratio is a lot different from French and German
Camden Clark
oh shit, very nice. what dialect are they teaching? MSA? immersion. read/watch/listen things in your target language.
Cameron Bennett
So anything interesting in you would recommend for a beginner? A podcast perhaps? (For French that is)
Aaron Johnson
not too sure, never seriously studied French. their comic books are quite famous, maybe try that (Lucky Luke, Astérix, etc.) they make enough films as well I'd wager, just have a look what people recommend.
Angel Jackson
Is memrise good for learning European Portuguese?
Duolingo only offers Brazilian Portuguese for some reason.
