For slavic learners, this is Chaika Bogdan. She's disdainfully staring at you since she knows you've been slacking off.

Is she a Nazi? I'd rather have a not Nazi Germanic mascot. Hitlerfus are stale

The series takes place in alternate universe WWII were aliens have taken over europe, so you get the benefits of stylish uniforms without any nazism.

Hey lads. Need a resource to learn Portuguese grammar. I just moved to Portugal and have jumped in with duolingo and memrise. My job has me out talking to folk but it's easy to just be lazy and speak english if I want so I wanna build up enough portuguese to at least start talking to people and learning. But I need grammar. Any good options?
Jayden Ross
I wish I enjoyed Duolingo more so that I could waste time translating simple sentences when I'm bored.
Juan Brown
Try Lingvist as a time filler.
Alexander Hill
I'm off to bed now. Did you fucks get any good studying done today?

End of term exams for uni, so no, not really. I've had to suspend new cards in Anki for at least 10 days until this is all over. I'll probably overcompensate during winter break.

Oh good, now I can safely have Erika Hartmann as the Germanic language mascot

It's Learning With Texts. I just started using it.
Jack Sanchez
That makes me think, why not have the corresponding Hetalia character for every language as mascots for /lang/? Most countries worth mentioning has a character for it.
Jeremiah Taylor
I think I might just teach myself portuguese grammer. I've learned french and german to some degree throughout my life and I more or less know what I need to know so I can just look up the individual things.

I keep fucking up declensions in Russian, any tips to master it?

> teach myself Portuguese > in Portugal
I'm amazed that American companies would send someone to Portugal and not make them take formal Portuguese classes beforehand, or in the country
Jaxon Foster
Nah that's not the situation. I sorta wound up in portugal. Gotta teach my own damned self.
I'm looking into the basic rules of conjugation right now. Just need to memorize the basics. Also figure out which of these forms are actually used so I know which to memorize.
Grinding out conjugation tables are tedious but it's worth doing. i'll just get like 10 regular verbs and do conjugation tables out of them until I just know them.

I'm late to the party here, but anyway: Routledge's Essential Grammar series never let me down when I used it for Arabic, I suppose they're just as good for Portuguese. Very thorough, yet easy to understand.
I started doing French FSI - Intro to French Phonology. Did about 10 minutes today and I liked it. I was reading into it and it seems a lot of people approach it with a military discipline only to give up. Why do you approach it like that? Is it wrong to do FSI for 10 minutes a day? I think that would be preferable to making it a chore, no?
Sebastian Allen
Where does it show how many words you have learnt?

It's not Duolingo. It's Memrise, but I'm studying the companion course for Duolingo

is there anyone who managed to learn danish language. I have been trying to learn in for quite a while and there are a lot of things I do know in. But still, I have troubles mastering it, and listening is still very hard for me. I try to watch DR every day but i dont feel that it helps as much and as fast as I want it to.

I'm trying to learn Russian. Will my pronunciation bad if I watch Russian streams and pick up accent from that ?
Bentley Reed
The future Führer is a cute mascot.
Joseph Adams
I started but gave up. It's a nice language and I wish to learn it for real in the future.

Why Danish when Swedish would made so much more sense for you?

Do you guys study at home or look for somewhere else to go? I find it hard to study at home sometimes so I'll go out with just my study materials and get a drink somewhere.
Kevin Ross
As a native speaker I have absolutely no idea what to suggest but one thing is for sure: Dump Duolingo. They only teach our version and Portuguese won't like/ take you serious if you sound brazilian
Jaxson Jackson
Pt and fr have very similar grammar, it will be easier for you. For verb conjugation use this site: www.conjuga-me.net and try to lurk ptchan

What do you do when your main motivators for learning a language goes away? I have a 210 day streak on Duolingo so I don't just want to quit, but I don't think doing it "just for fun" will suffice in the long run
Noah Price
im starting to get exhausted at home, so I plan to start going out to a library or a starbucks or something to study
Ryder Morris
Pretty easy. The main reason is that it produces immediate feedback which can be very motivating to some that struggle with it and are not afraid of social interactions.
Joseph Smith
I have noticed that. Duolingo is so....nice to work with, though. Memrize has Portugal so I'm moving a bit over to there. I mean how different is the language?
Cameron Phillips
What was your main motivator and how did you lose it?
Bentley Richardson
Get Pimsleur, they have a course for European Portuguese. And read something like pic related on the side (pirate it if you must)
Eli Brooks
Working or studying only when you feel like you have the right emotional state is stupid. Discipline and habitstrumps any form of fleeting motivation but what you can do is to find something related to you language brings you joy. This can be anything from media, niche interests, just social interaction with people or. travelling. Maybe there is that one youtube channel you like or some guy at work you want to talk to or ypu might have the opportunity to go to a place where you can use the language
Caleb Scott
Isn't pimsleur like.... audio tapes? I tend to learn best with text.
Christian Anderson
Are there any Pimelsur Russian recordings that are easily accessible around?
Jose Perez
I'm learning Dutch because I wanted to do my master's degree in the Netherlands, but now I'm not so sure anymore. I actually visited the Netherlands as well, and Dutchies honestly weren't the nicest people I've been around. My streak and the fact that it's fuck easy because it's so similar to Norwegian is really the only thing keeping me going.
Yeah, I guess you're right. You don't happen to know any good Dutch youtube channels?
