What language are you trying to learn, /int/?
I wish to speak Kraut. So far I am failing horribly.
>>60032698
Mother tongue is Persian, but it's been getting worse over the years so I'm trying to improve it.
Besides that, i'll be taking French classes in the Fall. It's such a sexy language.
Maybe after that, Russian.
>Sweden
Kek'd
this is a big lie
>>60032698
who is learning italian and turkish? Andorra? Honk Kong? I can't see anything
>>60034409
nobody
>>60034460
Why did they add it to the map then
Touching up my Korean vocabulary with Memrise in between classes. It's alright, more convenient than flashcards, but not great. Locking offline courses behind a paywall is bullshit.
>>60032698
>Sweden
>learning Swedish
I am trying to learn polish. I think it going well
I wish for the polish hunnies. I also try to play Chopin
>>60032698
>USA
>Not french
Faggots
hungarian and romanian atm tho its quite hard
is the website like effective for someone wanted to learn it to fluency?
>>60034874
Chopin was the greatest composer of all time.
No meme, just truth.
>>60037084
No, it will get you to, at best, B1 levels. Which is pretty good actually, with the basics covered you can then just keep on improving and immersing yourself on your target language. Bottom line: it's great to get the basics done with quickly, but don't expect fluency. In fact expecting fluency from any course with no real human interaction is a bit naïve.
>>60037084
no, but the website is a really good introduction to whichever language you want to learn, though
>>60037321
>>60037288
thanks!
Italian
>>60034505
This desu. I was zooming in for small meme countries, just to find it.
>>60034409
I am :D
>>60037572
Don't mention it bb
>Sweden
The cuckening is real
Je prendre lessons de français.
Currently in school for Japanese...
No joke half my class makes me want to fucking hang myself. I have numerous friends over there and go every summer. Fuck weebs.
>UK
>USA
>not even learning French
I feel betrayed desu
>Sweden
>>60037862
got any stories
>>60037893
Spanish and german provide more oppurtunities 2bh
>>60038190
Even German ?
>>60038239
Yeah, I teach English in Spain but from what I hear there's a crazy demand for teachers in Germany too
>>60032698
>Io mangi zucchero
>>60037893
There's not that many French speakers in the US, and the only reason people are learning Spanish is because there's a fuck ton of native speakers from south of the border to make it useful.
So either start flooding the US with French speaking sluts or stop complaining.
>>60032698
Norsk.

I'd been dicking around for a couple years learning Spanish in fits and starts, the last couple days I got fed up and just powered through the whole tree and finished it. Almost 200 lessons later and I was done.
Also learning Russian, shit's tough using Duolingo alone so I'm trying to learn grammar elsewhere.
>>60038664
¿Que nivel tienes ahora? ¿Puedes entender esto con facilidad?
>>60038717
Only 13. I could read that without any problems, which is actually pretty surprising! Duolingo is great as a start, but it won't make you fluent and should definitely be supplemented with vocabulary and grammar resources.
>>60038664
Hay mate, i'm learning ruassian too
I recomend you this course to learn the cases
http://www.russianforfree.com/lessons-russian-cases-01.php
>>60038856
>vocabulary and grammar resources
You can find apps for that easily, too. Just saying
>>60039003
I'll check it out, thanks! I've been bouncing around different sites and books so far.
>>60039795
I'm using Memrise for vocab, for some reason I never took to Anki that well. Then again I've always relied on premade decks with that, maybe I should start making my own.
I'm currently learning Hebrew, and waiting for the duolingo course.
In the mean time I've been using Memrise, reading children's books, going over Hebrew textbooks and listening to Israeli music.
I want to do French next.
>>60040369
Nice. What are your motives?
>>60040383
I'm want to move to Israel in a year or two.
I also really liked the country when I visited two years ago.
>>60040466
Oh cool. What did you like about the country?
>>60040526
It just blew my mind being in a first world country.
>>60040626
Israel is barely even first world desu being more comparable to Spain or Greece than Germany or USA
Trying to learn Norwegian. Duolingo seems to have a nice little niche community for it.
I started trying to learn it in January over holiday from uni. I have a penpal in Oslo, and I wanted to surprise her with a letter in norwegian for her birthday (mid June). Still only half way through the tree. Fuck.
>>60032698
Why is Sweden learning Swedish? WTF?
>>60040733
Norwegian is the easiest language there is for English speakers with the possible exception of Duch
laughably easy grammar, practically no inflection and what little is there is similar to English and similar vocabulary make it babby tier
you clearly haven't been working very hard if you're struggling after four months
>>60040750
if you're not memeing it's because of Syrians, Iraqis, Albanians and Yugoslavs
>>60040730
Well it's the only one that I can move to, because of the right of return
>>60040750
Because they let in too many Arabs/Somalis etc
Anyone that can translate runes? Trying to find origin on this coin
>>60040763
True. It's easy as hell. But so are a lot of the other languages people here are learning. I did all of my learning in January, then I took too much on last semester. So now I'm starting again. I imagine if I actually stuck to I would be near fluent.
Portugues do Brasil psh
>>60037893
If it makes you feel better it's still the most popular second language in schools here
>>60040797
looks like elder fuþark but there are a few runes there I don't recognize just by looking the "alphabet" up
I'm currently learning Russian now. It's my first time learning a second language unless you count French. Duolingo seems a lot more convenient compared to actually attending a Russian class so far.
>Sweden
Supposedly learning french, but I have it in stand by because of no time with univeristy.
I want to learn german or italian after that, I think I will go with italian first since it will probably take me less time
>>60040912
here is the confusing side. It looks like an indian demon...
>>60040914
Eu quero ir para Brasil em Dezembro
>>60037893
Every high school in the US teaches Spanish, while French is more regional.
It's mostly down to Louisiana and I guess places close to Quebec. There's just not a lot of opportunity to use the language in the Americas.
>>60037893
French sounds better than Spanish if it helps, but quite like the way German sounds.
>>60034754
Refugees are one helluva drug.
Trying to learn German, going slowly.
Mein flugzeug ist shmutzig
>>60041048
at least they're trying to integrate 2bh
>>60032698
Mi studas Esperanton. Bonvolu lernu kun mi!
>>60040936
let me tell you something amigo, you should learn the hardest first, it will make the easy easiest
>>60041079
no they're not literally kill yourself
>>60041125
But it's all about not having enough time to dedicate it to a harder language right now
>>60032698
>Sweden
Is that a joke or a real thing?
Why is the UK learning Spanish? French, German, and Nordic languages would all be more relevant for them and all of those but German would be just as easy
>>60041242
you do realize that more Brits move to Spain than any other country except for possible Australia?
>>60041265
What? No, I didn't know that.
But why?
>>60032698
Learning French right now.
>>60041288
>But why?
Old people
Southern Spain is practically a British retirement colony with almost a million Brits
>>60041288
Old people retiring in a sunny country we're it's reasonably cheap to live, Spanish people have told me they don't mind the old people, don't see how they deal with it desu.
>>60041340
The 1 million figure is exaggerated.
>>60041340
>>60041344
Ah, thanks.
So it's basically the Florida of Europe; a sunny place where old people go to live among Spanish speakers
>>60041371
Yes
>>60041363
oh well in any case it is a fuck ton
I'm learning German currently. B1 level atm - I use Duolingo to brush up on vocab here and there.
I'm also trying to learn Finnish, but no DuoLingo for that, So I'm using Memrise.
Just started having a go learning Russian. Hopefully it won't be too hard.
>>60041453
Það er óvenjulegt að gamalt fólk frá Bretlandi er ekki að fara til Íslands. Veðrið, maturinn, byggingarlistin... öll geysileg :D
Should I learn Russian, German or Norwegian?
>>60041554
I did German and starting on Russian.
German was a lot of fun, I love the pronunciation. It feels fun to say their words
Russian pronunciation has been really hard so far, haven't gotten far into the grammar
with learning russian, what do about the cyrillic alphabet?
All of them
>>60041549
Frekar myndi ég vilja eyða ellinni í sólinni á Spáni en í endalausa hretinu hér.
>>60041554
Icelandic obviously
>>60041611
The alphabet is seriously the easiest part. You will be great at it within a week if you put the time into it. The part that will take years of hard work is the grammar and pronunciation, and these two things are ultimately what will probably make you give up (if you give up).
>>60041611
Learn it
>>60038664
>more than a hundred lessons a day
what the heck I can barely do 5 daily
>>60037862
>wants to learn japanese
>is mad at weeaboos
No anon, you are the weeaboo
>>60041611
I'm reading Russian for dummies. It explains the alphabet well and tries to explain the pronunciations
>>60041656
some languages are easier than others depending on your first language
like spanish is relatively easy for an english speaker to learn compared to, say, mandarin
what's your first language uaenon?
>>60041628
Kannsi, en á Íslandi hafið þið bestu lífsgæðin í heimi.
>>60041703
Það er fásinna. Lífsgæðin eru hærri í Noregi, Danmörku, Bandaríkjunum og Sviss svo eitthvað sé nefnt. Líklega líka í Hollandi, Danmörku, Þýskalandi og Írlandi.
>>60041684
>>60041636
>>60041635
thank you all
an elaboration of my original question would be, do i do the questions in english letters or cyrillic or what, what with my keyboard
>>60041736
In Cyrillic. Use a Russian keyboard software. For Windows, you can add one in under your keyboard settings. For mobile, you can do the same though it differs depending on your keyboard software.
>>60041699
My first language is Arabic.
I started learning Swedish a while ago but I stopped.
You should try Maori, think you'll have fun learning that one
>>60041761
thank you
>>60041730
En... en... hákarl, og... víkingar!
>>60041818
ÍSLAND BEST Í HEIMI
>>60041780
It seems neat. Is it just the natives that speak it, or is there any use outside of learning it as a novelty?
>>60041840
>>60041840

gangi þér vel lol
>>60042444
people learn Russian and Greek all the time, Icelandic is no harder except that material is much more scarce
>>60042497
The problem is that Icelandic is the most irregular language I have ever seen. To speak it well, it takes innumerable hours studying grammar. It is all worth it in the end though.
>>60042522
I assume you're talking about noun declensions which have 13 classes and a handful of irregular nouns as Icelandic verbs are fairly regular (once you get the productive i-umlauts which have been reduced to irregularities in English) and it is true it's a pain to learn properly but I still don't think it's really that difficult a language compared to some others like Russian and Arabic
>>60042398
are there prostitutes there? if so, problem solved
>>60042777
Yeah, I agree, it is probably comparable to Russian and Arabic. Though sometimes people compare Icelandic to German or Norwegian, which Icelandic is immensely more complex than.
Anyone up for esperanto
>>60042953
Maybe. I see no point other than it helping with romance langauges. But then, you might as well learn them.
