How do you do it? Favourite resources?
>>58307729
I grew up with Swedish and Norwegian, and they're pretty easy to understand so that's pretty obvious.
I learned English, partly French, which I then switched out with Spanish in school.
Brother had an Icelandic gf for some years who taught me some shit, and I know a guy from the Faroe Islands.
Gaeilge is a bit more difficult since that's self study and I don't have any particular good resources.
>>58307104
Estimated levels should be around
German C2
Italian C1
English C1
French B2
Chinese: Mandarin around B1; I can understand Min Nan but barely answer.
English, French, and a bit of Hebrew
English, broken Spanish and French.
>>58307827
So immersion FTW?
>>58307895
What?
Three fluently, two more that I understand the majority of, two more that I need to learn before I'm 25 and probably will.
>>58307911
Learning by using the language, by being exposed to it in daily life (hence, immersion), versus doing (boring) grammar exercises from a textbook and listening to tapes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_immersion
> Luxemburger fag here.
English, French, German, Luxemburgish, Portugese, Greek.
>>58307938
What's the last one out of the 3 fluent ones? I'm guessing the two you know the majority of are Danish and Norwegian.
>>58307964
Yeah basically, but you definitely need to study as well to be able to reflect on yourself. Immersion can only get you so far, but it can make it come off as more natural and for actual use.

>>58308023
>you definitely need to study as well
Sure, but once you get an intuitive feel of the language, it is way easier to polish it by increasing vocabulary and getting the grammar right.
>>58308465
Definitely. Immersive learning is definitely the better way of improving once you got your handle on the language.
>>58308486
So now you need to get an Irish gf.
French, English, I'm learning German and meme-learning Russian.
I'm jealous of the scandis who are all three-linguals
>>58308512
Immersive learning and actually talking Gaeilge to other people will probably never be a thing I do, unless I actually go and visit Gaeltacht areas in Ireland.
I'd much rather improve either my Spanish or pick up French again. I was complimented for my pronunciation and expression by my French-born teacher (though she may have just been polite).
I heard a lot about French people getting insulted or out right anal about other foreigners trying at French, though I can understand getting mad at Americans.
>>58308550
If you actually put in effort to understand your neighbors, you can be quadrilingual or even pentalingual before you reach 20.
You can hardly call it polyglotism though, as even a Dane and a Swede can communicate fairly well with each other even without effort.
>>58308440

>>58308783
Yes it does. We were conquered by the arabs at some point and the persian language would have perished had it not been for one poet. The arabic alphabet remained though and so it is arabic still today.
However persian has some sounds that arabs do not use or include in their alphabet, such as 'p' (farsi used to be parsi) so we had to add some letters to the alphabet. Just so you understand that they differ slightly.
And about the discrimination, yes but it never got violent and I/we understand prejudice people (from post-revolution Iranian culture) so it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

I gotta admit that I have to look up every other word though. My vocabulary is shit.
>>58308694
>I heard a lot about French people getting insulting
As far as I am concerned, I am always positively surprised when a foreigner addresses me in French, especially so since /int/ showed me how hard of a language it was. Often, it sounds…cute :3
I know I will fall back to English whenever they seem to have a hard time expressing their thoughts, but this is to make it easier to them rather than out of anger at them butchering my mother tongue.
Maybe some of my fellow countrymen are so insecure about their English skills they'd rather hide it behind a smug face though.
I've heard Finns hate Finnish so mush they thinks it's a waste of time for foreigners to try and learn it, and will always speak to tourists in English. But maybe that's just a maymay.

That's pretty much a thing in all of the Nordic countries. We're pretty confident in our English skills, maybe not so much in Finland though. But we have a bad habit of always switching over to English simply because it's easier, except when interacting with Germans since a lot of Danes know German.
>>58309249

In order of proficiency.
Native:
Brazilian-portuguese.
Learned at a language school:
C2 English. Sometimes americans say my accent is native-tier.
B2 Spanish. Good grammar, shitty vocabulary and accent.
Self-taught:
Basic korean. I can read, write, form simple sentences, conjugate a few verbs and my accent is DOPE, but that's it. Very limited vocabulary but very advanced cursing skills kek.
Very basic japanese. I learned very basic stuff like greetings, thank yous, I'm sorrys with my grandpa and then I started studying the grammar by myself when I was younger. I can't read/write shit but I can tell you about my limited japanese in japanese.
>>58309335

>>58309521
According to Wiktionary, it means literally "Then give speak in Russian", I guess you meant "Then speak in Russian"

I'm very sure it's a Celtic language, probably Welsh, but I need to be sure. (I'm looking for the complete lyrics, btw)
>>58309529
Wow, didn't thought it was so widely used.
>>58308000
>Greek
I wanna learn Greek too. Should be too hard considering I know Ancient Greek, but the pronunciation is very different.
People, are you thinking esperanto should replace english as "king of language" ? I'm not saying that english is a bad language of course, just thought that english couldn't evolve as quickly as esperanto.
>>58309676
Why should a conlang replace a natural language ? Esperanto also a bias for latin language speakers, so it's far from the "perfect" language.
>>58308885
French* je suis top fatigué

Polish, English, Russian, Chinese, a little bit German
I know Russian and English, but I barely ever speak in English something different than "rush b", "drop awp please" etc.
>>58309542
I heard that Conradh na Gaeilge should be pretty good as well, however I haven't tried it out yet.
>>58309626
Definitely not Gaeilge or Scots Gaelic. Apparently it's Welsh.
>>58309676
>couldn't evolve as quickly as esperanto
do you think a person from the 40's, or even 80's would understand this sentence?
>I heard prince died, so I logged onto the internet and googled it, sure enough it was all over twitter and soon after my friends started snapping me the news too
>>58309697
I'm not saying that's the perfect language. But esperanto is build "ex nihilo". So it's easier to change it, to make it sounds more familiar to your own culture. That's much more difficult with english.
>>58309237
>>58309489
Learning finnish as a foreigner is pretty much impossible, at least becoming as good as native speaker. There are people who have lived here for over 30 years yet you can distinguish them as foreigners as soon as they start speaking because proper pronunciation of some words is impossible for non-native finns, especially words that have ä or ö in them
only russian. i am good at reading english but i am still facing a problem with sentence formation and speaking.
>>58309720
what do you mean ?
>>58309750
I'm going to stay 6 months in Finland for my studies. Can I hope to have at least some knowledge of the language ? Alternatively, can I practise my Russian here or would it be autistic ?
German, English
Just started learning Korean for whatever reason, but already seems kind of hard to me (which is why I like it I think)
Maybe somebody got tips for me?
Polish, English, Italian and a bit German
>>58309750
Well yeah. It would practically be impossible for me to even learn the basics as I can't roll my R's. Otherwise, Danes have a pretty good grasp on vowels, but most are fucking retarded in how the pronounce other languages because they don't put effort into it. But I'm gonna take your word for it, and say that Finnish is hard as fuck.

>Definitely not Gaeilge or Scots Gaelic.
OK. Now I need to find someone who speaks Welsh :)
>>58309746
English is a functional language for international communication. It is easy to learn, easy to write (e.g. no diacritics à la ĝ), quite versatile (you can verb nouns and noun verbs easily), and most of scientific research has been published in English for the past centuries, not mentioning websites and software. So you'd have to learn English as well.
Esperanto has no comparative advantage. It is as good as English, at best.
>>58309626
It's definitely not Gaeilge or Gàidhlig
>>58309878
OK. Getting closer…
>>58309765
computers have revolutionized the english language
terms that didn't exist in the 40's & 80's that I used:
>to log on (this was in the 80's, but the rest still stand)
>to google
>to snap(chat)
>internet
People from those eras would have no concept of such things, and thus the sentence would be largely unintelligible to them, proof of the very fast evolution of english.
another example
>Some asshole DMed me the other day, all he sent were some stupid emojis while asking if I wanted to "netflix and chill". I screencapped it and subtweeted him and all of his friends, it got like 30 likes.
>>58309781
You can learn basic stuff in 6 months but you won't become fluent and people might still have trouble understanding you. And no, i have lived my entire life 10km from the Russian border and only people who are actually from Russia or whose parents are from there can speak Russian
>>58309821
Yeah you can become fluent in finnish after years of regular use but you would still have a very noticeable accent and people could have trouble understanding some words
>>58309869
Ask in /brit/
You might have trouble finding someone though because few people in Wales speak it
>>58309869
There's a few Welsh speakers on this board, so you may be in luck.
>>58309932
>but you would still have a very noticeable accent and people could have trouble understanding some words
Apparently Icelandic is the same too. A friend of mine is Icelandic and has been living in Norway for like 8 years, and speaks pretty good Norwegian, but when he goes back to Iceland for vacation, his family actually notices that he doesn't have the same accent as when he lived there.
>>58309626
