But what you take home from school is merely a foundation. If you truly wish to learn a language you need immersion, which is something a school can't offer.

You don't need to be a social butterfly. Sometimes, when I speak another language, I feel different. Slightly detached from myself. I swear a lot in my native language, and I'm not proud of it. I swear very little in English or other languages I'm learning. I know some Spanish and I'm learning Portuguese and talking in these languages softens me. Try even mumbling, let's say, Italian. Record yourself saying a thoughtful sentence and hear how you sound. Who you are in that tape
I know it sounds vaguely split personality, but it's not. You're simply entering that language's sphere, its expression
My point is - it can open you, give you new ways to communicate, with your body and mind

Go for it alone. It's better to teach yourself, at your own pace. Motivation and quality sake
Most courses are very introductory, like Pimsleur ones, where they teach your endless repetition. While it's good repetition, it's still fucking repetition. And I don't know who'd want to go through 30-33 tracks of two CDs and learn how to communicate with a native woman, order her a drink and ask her about plain subjects. Fuck that

You have to find a real, transfer-kind of experience. Where you learn everything mashed on the go.
Memrise and Duolingo are good for vocabulary, and I'm currently using this Cypriot guy's method, called "Language transfer" (Google it). It's pretty fly shit if you ask me. There's Greek, Arabic, Turkish, German and Spanish so far, and the way he throws you into lessons is compelling and automatically gives you "something" after each lesson, without directly setting your curve and goals. I found that I can already apply it from day one. I tried Turkish, six lessons from a total of 44, I think, and I could already assemble simple sentences including vital verbs (to be/see/go/take/do/hear/understand)

So anyone interested in finding a nice "supplement" for these languages, I recommend the above

Reminds me of this old Dutch joke.

Einstein goes to a party and someone approaches him. Einstein asks: What's your IQ? 250, says the person. So Einstein starts talking to him about quantum physics, black holes, singularities and space-time.

After a while another one comes up to him and Einstein also asks him: What's your IQ? 150 says the guy. So Einstein starts talking about international law and ethical problems with genetic manipulation.

A bit later another person comes up to him.
So Einstein asks: What's your IQ? 100 says the guy. So Einstein starts talking about the government, wages and oil prices.

A bit later again another person approaches him.
So Einstein asks: What's your IQ? 50, the person answers. So Einstein starts talking about tv shows like Big Brother and Idols.

Then another person comes up to him.
So Einstein asks: What's your IQ? 10, says the guy. So then Einstein asks: How's Manchester United?

Now I think of it. Why does this joke remind me of Louis van Gaal?
>>
>>56845521
The words doctor, engineer and teacher are just male. Stop this stupid meme pls
>>
>>56845561
It's true. But not too much people know about this.

I thought that it's four. Male, female, neutral and general (with male form but aviable for girls too, for example (I will use czech-like transliteration) "ona choróší vrač (she is a good doctor)", but " ona chróšaja devuška" (she is a good girl).

Also some people say that general and universal genders are different.

So
Male
Female
Neutral
Genetal
Universal

Also russians have a sound between a and o.

We should be like aliens for anglos, lol.

People would mock you in your language if you were Yoruba even. You're missing the point
They need to establish some kind of connection to get to you, through to you or whatever. I can insult you in Serbo-Croatian, sure, but that's not going to achieve my goals (first, insulting won't achieve it, then, you not understanding would render my writing unnecessary)

It's a clear, masochist pattern with you Anglos here. You open one of these threads and then play defence and golden keks, when a topic like this, about polyglots, should truly be a polyglot's thread: in multiple languages. Then we would actually be able to avoid your Anglo mental masturbation

You open this subject, people start discussing other languages and the benefits, what they're learning, if they're stalling and whatnot, and Anglos just jump and dance around these posts saying "don't need it, don't need it. Look at me, don't need it. Why? hahahahah, literally why? Stop. Don't need it, don't need it"

We use male, female and neutral. And that pretty much decides whether you use "the" or "it" to refer to objects. Not much else.

Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it’s written.)
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;
Cloven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.
Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
Exiles, similes, and reviles;
Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far;
One, anemone, Balmoral,
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
Gertrude, German, wind and mind,
Scene, Melpomene, mankind.
Billet does not rhyme with ballet,
Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food,
Nor is mould like should and would.
Viscous, viscount, load and broad,
Toward, to forward, to reward.
And your pronunciation’s OK
When you correctly say croquet,
Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,
Friend and fiend, alive and live.
Ivy, privy, famous; clamour
And enamour rhyme with hammer.
River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,
Doll and roll and some and home.
Stranger does not rhyme with anger,
Neither does devour with clangour.
Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,
Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,
Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,
And then singer, ginger, linger,
Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,
Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.
Query does not rhyme with very,
Nor does fury sound like bury.
Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.
Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.
Though the differences seem little,
We say actual but victual.
Refer does not rhyme with deafer.
Fe0ffer does, and zephyr, heifer.
Mint, pint, senate and sedate;
>>

Dull, bull, and George ate late.
Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,
Science, conscience, scientific.
Liberty, library, heave and heaven,
Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.
We say hallowed, but allowed,
People, leopard, towed, but vowed.
Mark the differences, moreover,
Between mover, cover, clover;
Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
Chalice, but police and lice;
Camel, constable, unstable,
Principle, disciple, label.
Petal, panel, and canal,
Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.
Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,
Senator, spectator, mayor.
Tour, but our and succour, four.
Gas, alas, and Arkansas.
Sea, idea, Korea, area,
Psalm, Maria, but malaria.
Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.
Doctrine, turpentine, marine.
Compare alien with Italian,
Dandelion and battalion.
Sally with ally, yea, ye,
Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.
Say aver, but ever, fever,
Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.
Heron, granary, canary.
Crevice and device and aerie.
Face, but preface, not efface.
Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.
Large, but target, gin, give, verging,
Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.
Ear, but earn and wear and tear
Do not rhyme with here but ere.
Seven is right, but so is even,
Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,
Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,
Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.
Pronunciation (think of Psyche!)
Is a paling stout and spikey?
Won’t it make you lose your wits,
Writing groats and saying grits?
It’s a dark abyss or tunnel:
Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,
Islington and Isle of Wight,
Housewife, verdict and indict.
Finally, which rhymes with enough,
Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?
Hiccough has the sound of cup.
My advice is to give up!!!
