Hey guys. How many languages can you use?
Especially if you are living in country that has some official languages, how many can you use them?
3
5, but want to learn more.
Being from an immigrant family has its pros sometimes
>>58877338
What do you mean "use"?
I am fluent in Russian and Mari but can barely hold even a simple conversation in English.
>>58877338
Only two, trying to learn and third and eventually a fourth.
>>58877338
>Portuguese and Russian
>same size of Polish
>inb4 not a real language
Irish and English.
>>58877338
Why are Russian and Portuguese so small lel. It's actually top 5-6 by amount of speakers.
Anyway 6.
Russian, Swedish (So i also understand Norwegian and Danish), Ukrainian, English, Polish, Belarusian.
>>58877338
around 2 but I would love to learn plenty of languages for the qts and such
>>58877338
1
I can read some Spanish but I can't hold a conversation anymore
>>58877866
I'm planning to learn belarus, kinda as a gateway to other slav languages.
picked it because i read it's simmilar to russian and ukrainian, while it also has a polish influence. Could you recommend me anything to help me learn it?
Sorry for the question
>>58877866
why would russki master race learn a cuck language :(
>>58878185
Why are you saying sorry? Ofc i can help you just give me a minute i'll try to find something for you
>>58878213
We do like Swedes here and my old ancestors are from Uppsala so
>>58878233
thanks
>>58878233
Bumping for interest.
>>58878293
ok we kinda like you but we're also afraid
snälla invadera inte
>>58877463
Read, write, speak....etc
Anything ok. I didn't specified.
>>58878299
>>58878359
Ok, so i've found a book but it's in Russian. I also checked our Russian piratebay but there is nothing in English. So i'm pretty sure it's really hard to find any ENG-BEL tutorial, would you like me to send the book or?
>>58877452
>>58877866
Oh!?
So, what language are you using for thinking?
Spanish and english perfectly, i can also hold simple conversations in japanese because of what i picked up from anime, but i don't know shit about kanji
>>58878778
When i speak English\Swedish i'm thinking in it but mostly Russian.
>>58878712
Thanks, i'd appreciate it.
these are the websites i'm using so far, although not so much lately because i need to study for school atm.
http://mylanguages.org/belarusian_alphabet.php
http://www.101languages.net/belarusian/belarusian-vocabulary-lessons/
And Memerise a little.
English and فارسی/دری
>>58878778
Frisian, imo it sounds kinda awkward when i make myself think in another language, dunno why
>>58878985
Yeah you can use memerise, duolingo (if it has it) etc and i'd also recommend podcast app.
http://rgho.st/8PGBHNBly here it is, i think you can use it with translator and if you will get Russian alphabet, it's not really hard for a scandinavian btw.
Suomi, svenska and English, 3 it is
>>58877338
One. I am going to try to learn Dutch in support of Geert Wilders. Keep on fighting, Netherlands.
Only 1....
But I'm trying to learn two.
Btw, where did you learn languages?
>>58879193
Thanks, i appreciate it.
duolingo sadly doesn't have it. A shame Belarus isn't more popular, seems like a good gateway language imo
>>58879441
Most useless fucking language
>>58879374
Various guides online (ie. yt vids, websites, etc.), I know of a site but it is rosetta stone tier, only good for alphabet
http://learn101.org/
>>58879329
Why do you keep on fighting?
>>58879441
Honestly i'd not recommend you Belarus language to start from, it's a sort of Skåne dialect in Sweden but mix of Russian and Polish.
>>58879469
Whatever, mate. shouldn't you look after your 4 wives instead of being on an image board?
3.
English, Swedish, Spanish
I can understand Norwegian and read Danish and Italian, which I'm working on studying for active use. I can say a couple phrases in Finnish but can't really get around easily.
>>58879525
>Why do you keep on fighting?
For him.
>>58879573
Damn. What (east)slav language would you recommend? I just picked Belarus because it was kinda inbetween everything
2
>>58879801
Literally the less useful of all Slav languages
>>58879801
Since i know the majority of slavic languages i'd basically recommend Russian.
Russian
+ a lot of literature\sites etc to start studying, ~300 mln of speakers, progressive and fun, really big amount of words and terms so you can generate you own ones.
- NOT really but hard to learn, need practice for pronunciation, not many of us know english good enough to help you etc.
Ukrainian
+ Melodic, old, you can understand some Belarusian and Polish what you can't with Russian, 50 mln speakers
- Villiage language if you know Russian, not really "good" grammar.
Polish
+ Old and fun, 45 mln.
- Harsh langauge and it's not only imo.
Short guide lol.
>>58877338
2, Icelandic and English
studied Danish for like 6 or 7 years in school but can barely form a coherent sentence in the """"""""""language""""""""""
Fluent in English.
Meh in Spanish.
Near-shit in Ancient Greek, Sanskrit, and Latin grammar. Decent with etymology and historical linguistics tho.
3. I want to learn more твн
>>58880184
I'll give it ago, think i have a book about russian somewhere anyway. I have a ukrainian/russian mate living in aussie land, he could probably help. Worst that can happen is that i give up.
Saved a bunch of Russian memes from VK long long ago, maybe i'll finally be able to enjoy them by then. Thanks
>>58880184
Could you provide some good sources for Russian?
I know of duolingo and memrise,
>>58880445
Удaчи!
>>58880569
Yeah, can you use that link?
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:5160FAA5310849C7D8AF1A4ACA4552A8271EB763&tr=http%3A%2F%2Fbt2.t-ru.org%2Fann%3Fmagnet
>>58880716
Thanks!
>>58880811
Thank you, already downloading.
As an Irish tourist, how would I be viewed as in Moscow?
I'm planning on going near the end of summer.
Seven. It's not that hard because I live in an area where people speak all seven languages. -tips-
>>58880884
In Moscow you'd feel yourself great, especially in the city center. There is a lot of foreign visitors and also a lot of Russians who can speak English well enough. In Arbat Street there are few of my favourite Irish pubs.
>>58880904
what languages and where do you live?
>>58880904
Where are you living in?
And which languages can you use?
>>58881037
Is Russia as cheap as Poland?
>>58881129
Yes.
>>58880811
Stupid question, but how do i download it? ;_;
>>58881207
Awesome. Brought €1000 with me to Poland for ten days and came home with €750 and lived like a millionaire.
>>58881249
what torrent program do you use?
>>58877338
3 fluently
swedish, english, french
>>58881330
Hmm, then i'm not sure it's that cheap. Recently i spent 300€ for three nights in Saint-Petersburg including hotel
>>58881249
http://rgho.st/6H4R4bf6x.
>>58881331
I have bittorrent, but never really use it
>>58881504
Oh, I meant just spending money by that.
If I factor in flights and accommodation it's like just under €600.
>>58881330
Also i thought 1k it's not much for you. Isn't the average salary around 2.5k?
>>58881331
Utorrent* sorry, was thinking of something else
>>58877338
I can express myself decently in 4 languages, and I can write somewhat awkward looking Russian (I'm in the process of learning it).
>>58881622
Кaк дeлa?
>>58881597
I'm in college. I'm living off scraps for the moment. The money was gift from my parents.
>>58881504
>http://rgho.st/6H4R4bf6x.
thanks (again)!
>>58881601
uTorrent should be able to open the magnet link somewhere in some menu
just look for "magnet link" or "magnet" when looking around
>>58880184
>lol
You mean )))))) ?
>>58881622
>Scandinavian
>more than one language
>>58881601
idk how to do it on utorrent (I use deluge) but there should be somewhere you can add torrents via url, copy the Magnet URI and paste it into the box that pops up on utorrent
Torrents are great for learning languages, you can find huge packs of pdfs for most large languages. If you're looking for a specific title you can also go to http://bookzz.org/
>>58877338
> how many languages can you use?
3. JavaScript, Python, and C++
Jk, French, English, and Spanish
I intend to learn more, but my next one will probably be a local dialect like Welsh or Breton. Wouldn't mind learning a Slavic language but it seems hard to find a teacher.
>>58881638
У мeня вce в пopядкe. мнe мaлo cкyчнo.
>>58881708
Norwegian, English, Croatian, German, and I'm learning Russian.
>>58881657
Oh, i see. Jealous with you btw, i have only visited Norway and Finland (no reason to mention Eastern Europe)
>>58881675
Net.
I speak 10 languages (Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Bosniak, Vojvodinian, Montenegrin, Srpskian, Serbocroatian, Brčkian and Yugoslavian) and I'm quite advanced in 3 other languages (Slovene, Macedonian, Bulgarian).
Languages are easy as fuck :^)
>>58881779
>Croatian
>a language
nice there Serb
but yea, you better not count east Scandinavian and south Scandinavian as separate languages from your west Scandinavian
Swedish, English and Norwegian.
>>58881802
((((
native Latvian, fluently - English and Russian, basics in Lithuanian and German = ~5
>>58881814
well memed
daily reminder that there are actually delusional Yugoslavians and Scandinavians who think they speak more than one language because they adjusted to a dialect that happens to be spoken in another country
>>58881814
No english?
Fluent in English and Spanish
I can understand spoken and written Russian, but I can't put together my own sentences.
>>58881829
ég er að íhuga að læra íslensku en ég er ekki viss um hve mikið mig langar að læra af því að ekki er málið sérlega nytsamlegt fyrir mig
>>58882068
he's memeing as he listed like 15 names for 3 languages
Serbian, Bulgarian and Slovenian
and even those three are all very closely related with some degree of mutual intelligibility
>>58882156
málið er engum eða fáum gagnlegt en ef þú vilt lesa um Harald Hárfagra eða gömlu guðina á upprunamálinu þá er það nytsamlegt
auk þess gefur það montréttindi sérstaklega ef þú ert ekki frá Íslandi
3
if you can't speak at least 2 languages you are a retard
>>58882190
I know, i was justj oking lol
Español y inglés.
im looking forward to learn french
For those learning Russian:
Five semesters of Princeton University Russian courses for download
http://cytrussian.tuxfamily.org/
I can't use any of them
>>58882314
thanks anon
>>58882314
Brilliant! Thanks.
>>58882292
>að fara til Íslands í sumar

Biddu bara fólk um að tala hægt og skýrt og þetta verður auðvelt
gangi þér vel!
>>58882367
>>58882398
You're welcome.
RT also has a Russian learning program with 100 lessons, vocabulary lists, tests, etc.

m-myndi íslensku stelpunum líka við mig þótt ég sé fátækur?
>>58882686
Keep it coming. I've never been so excited to learn something before.
>>58882156
>>58882292
>>58882570
>>58882671
>>58882814
silly nords, thorn and eth aren't latin letters. don't forget that the romans cucked us out of runes.
>inb4 bandaríkjamenn eru ekki germönsk
>>58882306
It's a little bit harder than Spanish. But whenever you finally get the pronunciations down it becomes very easy.
Spanish is really the easiest language I've learned. Things are pretty much straight forward; but I've gotten out of practice in it so now I mostly just speak French
>>58882814
líkar norskum stelpum við þig?
ef svo er getur þú vafalítið heillað einhverjar druslur á börunum og klúbbunum í Reykjavík
ef ekki skal ég ekki segja
stelpunum hérna líka að minnsta kosti ekki við mig og ég er fátækur
>>58883002
funny; i gave up on spanish and learned french instead. for some reason, french is just easier; maybe because im a bookworm and know all of the meme words we stole from them
>>58882983
eð is a bastardization of the latin d though much like k and j (which do not exist in latin) are corruptions of c and i respectively
þorn is a rune though but if there's no rune in you're alphabet your language is too cucked to use
>>58882849
Gotcha, my drunken friend
http://www.russianlessons.net/
Very basic Russian lessons, but the section on the alphabet is bretty gud and it gives great explanations of the cases.
http://russian.typeit.org/
Good keyboard for typing in Russian, phonetically based on the English QWERTY keyboard.
You could also torrent Rosetta Stone and use it in conjunction with everything else you have, there's a pretty simple version of the client and Russian lessons on TPB that's preinstalled so all you have to do is run the .exe files.
Also Duolingo and Memrise I guess? I'm not so sure how good those lessons are but at least it's something.
>>58883005
>líkar norskum stelpum við þig?
nei alls ekki
vonandi fæ ég fyrirgreiðslu af því að ég sé erlendur sem """talar íslensku"""
vonandi
I want to learn Catalan so bad for no particular reason
>>58882849
Also Anki:
https://ankiweb.net/about
Create a deck, put every new word you learn into it, and study it every day. It's an online flashcard program using spaced repetition to help you remember words longer and learn them easier.
There are also shared decks that people have uploaded but I'd recommend just making your own.
Opinion on my letters:
ḋ ṫ ṁ ṡ ɼ ſ
Thanks to the printing press and br*ts they're not used anymore.
Anything with a dot above it is just denoted with a 'h' beside it. Ṡ = Sh.
>>58883156
Cheers, bud.

vel á minnst: skilur þú þetta kvæði á fornnorrænu?
>Brendr vas upp með endum
>allr, en þat má kalla
>hraustligt bragð es hugðak,
>Heiðabœr af reiði;
>vǫ́n's at vinnim Sveini
>(vask í nótt fyr óttu)
>gaus hár logi ór húsum,
>harm (á borgar armi).
(ég skil það að sjálfsögðu)
>>58883433
Mest
það segir frá Heiðabæ sem var brenndur af heiglum að nóttu til
>vǫ́n's at vinnim Sveini
og
>hraustligt bragð es hugðak,
skil ég ekki alveg en sú seinni er lykilsetning í kvæðinu svo heildarmerkingin verður óskýr
>>58883260
>>58882849
To add onto this, I would recommend using pictures instead of english words. Go to google.ru and paste in the word and pick one of the pictures. This is also helpful since a lot of times words can have multiple meanings that don't match english. Once you get good enough you can do fill in the blank sentences or definitions with pictures.
>>58883690
allt í lagi. þýðingar (ekki mínar):
>Allr Heiðabœr vas brendr upp af reiði með endum; en þat má kalla, es hugðak, hraustligt bragð;
>vǫ́n's at vinnim Sveini harm, vask í nótt fyr óttu á borgar armi, es hár logi gaus ór húsum.
þ.e.:
Allur Heiðabær var brenndur upp af reiði með endum; en það má kalla, fannst mér, hraustlegt bragð;
von er að við vinnum Sveini harm, ég var í nótt fyrir óttu á borgar armi, hár logi geisaði úr húsunum.)
