>Learning resources Check """pastebin.com/ACEmVqua"""; 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!
Learning Korean by watching films with subtitles is quite difficult because Korean and English have radically different grammatical structures. The rhythm of the two don't match.

i watched the video about dutch language in Langfocus channel and it seems a pretty simple language to learn. What do you think about it?
Can that user who made the /lang general/ images post them again? I forgot to save them individually and wanted to use them later if I started some threads again. Have any comfy Turkish cameras I can watch?

English doesn't count towards languages known

I was considering learn Portuguese, why wouldnt you reccomend?
Jace Peterson
It's useless unless you have a personal reason for learning it.
The Spanish Wiki doesn't have any books; does anyone have a recommendation for learning Spanish?
James Hall
To answer your question more directly I would highly recommend German for reading. Here is a sales pitch:
>"When you finish German for Reading you should be able to recognize the meanings signaled by all the basic grammatical patterns of German, plus the meanings of about 1200 content words. You will also have developed numerous techniques of reading in a foreign language which will enable you to learn new vocabulary and derive meanings form context without depending totally on a dictionary. You should be able to read a German newspaper or journal with fair to good comprehension or begin the serious study of German literary texts."
80-120 hours of study should keep you busy for at least 6 months.
Jose Cook
Please don't listen to those defeatistsPortuguese is in the world's top 10 of most important languages. If you have interest in brazilian/portuguese music,movies, literature feel free to learn it
Asher Thomas
Dutch is one of the worst sounding language in the world and Dutch people manage to be arrogant assholes while coming from a tiny irrelevant country. Fuck them desu, Flemish language and people are way nicer.
Josiah Long
I think I am user, definetly. Thank you for the (you) it is a bit off putting when natives dis their own language, cheers.
Leo Reyes
Compare my English to that guy's. Who would you rather listen to?
Tyler Cooper
Well it depends on if you're looking for a gf or not. You'll have less luck with French, a little bit more with Spanish, and a lot more with any asian language with the exception of maybe Mongolian.
In terms of usefulness, however, Spanish and French fine
Wyatt Evans
>German for reading
I really want that book too, but its way too expensive. Is there any where I could buy it for like $30 USD?
Camden Price
I agree with Same goes for any language really. Just keep your goals in mind. It may not be as widespread or useful as, say, French, English or Spanish, but if you ever plan to visit a lusophone country it will greatly enhance your travel experience. Plus Portuguese poetry and Brazilian music are awesome
James Reed
I just want to be able to read at a native level in French, any tips or resources? Sorta new to learning languages.

Duolingo, Pimsleur, and use Anki for vocabulary. As far as grammar goes, I got nothing, but maybe someone can rec a book.

+ the ones above, should last for a while. Also I'm learning a couple of languages, not intensively of course. I can't understand every word, but I can glimpse what an article/page says in spanish now and write basic everyday stuff, I've managed to memorise and write every jouyou 1 kanji, and just starting on french.

Is Italian a good language to learn for a brit? I love their history and culture, they helped build my country from our native tribes to a real civilisation. I am just concerned that Italian might not be the most useful language in the world unlike something like Spanish or German since my career is in web design.
Joseph Wilson
I'm learning Greek. How different is cypriot greek to modern standard greek?
Oliver White
The way I see it, any language is a good language to learn for anyone. And if you're more drawn to the history and culture, you'll have a much easier time learning it because it won't feel like a chore. It'll be much more fulfilling.
I also feel like knowing more than one language will help your career no matter what it is (unless it's like, Mari or Ithkuil or something :^)). I suppose the degree of usefulness may be different, but it's still helpful.
Nicholas Rodriguez
I have a hard time finding foreign language ebooks, my prefered way of studying. The DJT resources are quite helpful for Japanese, I would like to find a site to download German ebooks too. Does anyone have an idea where to look?
Xavier Nguyen
Go for it! Italian has a fair number of native speakers and they are usually not that good at English, so if you speak Italian it's a plus.

In my point of view, it all depends on your objectives. If your focus is all around fluency in every aspect (speaking, reading, listening) you're better off using various types of methods. If your focus is explicitly reading, the Translation & Grammar, Bilingual Audio - Reading and the Imitation methods are your best bet. If your focus is speaking/listening, the imitation method and having a good tutor (either IRL or online) who are willing to correct you is a good option.
In the end, it all comes back to you. Pick a language, learn it and stick with it through all the shit and golden parts.
Adrian Wright
Italian question:
So with a 'double verb construction' (eg Desideri prendere un gelato) the first verb is conjugated and the second is left as the infinitive.
Is this also the case for expressions involving avere? ie would it be "Ho bisogno di studiare" or "Ho bisogno di studio"? (i think the first but im not sure)
And how far does this go? Is every verb in the sentence conjugated/left as infinitive? eg would it be "Ho bisogno di studiare un paio di ore e poi passare al supermercato" or would passare be conjugated?
Jackson Powell
I'm not well versed with Italian grammar but I'll still chip in
Most Romance languages will have the main verb be altered in a way or another if an auxiliary (helping) verb precedes it. As you might know there's also certain verbs called semi-auxiliaries like the modal verbs and such who do a similar thing.
So in your case, if such an auxiliary precedes the main verb, it'll remain as an infitive.
When there's more than one verb, just transform the sentence into a question (Cosa ho bisogno di fare e passare?, which will become "Ho bisogno di studiare un paio di ore e poi passare al supermercato.") this'll show you if every verb relates to the auxiliary one.
If anyone's willing to correct my rant, please do.
Leo Phillips
