Cool, good luck user

At first I thought declensions were the worst part of it, turns out it was actually the easy part. Verbs are absolute hell, perfective/imperfective aspects + concrete/abstract for movement verbs + prefixes, not to mention the actual conjugation

Guess whit languages A speak, A speak three o thaim

Russian is also very bent on idiomatic expressions, so that they have a huge number of expressions that must be memorised by heart. Also, using perf/imperf is still incomprehensible in most cases. That being said, it is a fascinating language.
Tyler Wright
Please answer my poll. This is very important to me.
>Russian is also very bent on idiomatic expressions True, I feel like it's pretty close to French in that sense. Definitely a very rich and fascinating language. I can understand when to use imperfective or perfective most of the time at this point, but I actually need to take some time and think about it, making it very tedious to have a fluid conversation. I suppose it gets easier the more you use it but the initial step of understanding how the whole thing works takes a lot of time, especially considering the fact that there's a lot of subtleties.
Well, knowing the language? Do you need more upsides than that for learning? I just learn what I wanna learn, man. I don't give a fuck about perceived usefulness.

Jeremiah Ross
A am na expert on the language A am practisin please correct me gin A'm wrong
> Russian is also very bent on idiomatic expressions Not particularly, and it totally depends on the speaker. Yes, Russian is a rich language with a lot of cultural background behind it, but you don't really need to understand it all to be fluent. And, personally, I'd avoid using difficult to understand idioms and phrases when talking to a foreigner anyway
Why Latin, though? It would be way cooler if they came up with a totally new alphabet tailored for their language and needs
Bentley Ramirez
ǫ́ :^)
But for IPA it's [oː] or [ɔ] depending on the word, like hål [hoːl] and håll [hɔlː].
Ian Gray
Thanks lad! Also what are some good books in swedish?
Matthew Green
Like... just general books? I dunno, I don't read Swedish books much. Last time I really read full-on books from start to finish in Swedish was in high school.
>I really read full-on books from start to finish in Swedish was in high school. Because you just don't read in general or do you mean you read in English instead or something?
Jose Long
Thank ye sae much friend
Anthony Morgan
What do you like? I like to binge on good ole 90s/early 2000s Swedish sitcoms from time to time.
That was kind of a mess of a show 2bh. Top dystopian in a bad way.
Both, I guess. I read alot, but not really fiction or physical books. I spend my time reading about languages and history on the internet and the PDFs and shit I save.
Inuktitut syllabics would be cool, if we are going that route ᑎᑎᕋᐅᓰᑦ ᓄᑕᐅᓐᖏᑦᑐᑦ

What's a good text based game to play for Italian? I was thinking about CK2 but apparently the system doesn't allow things like genders so even fan localisation is trash.

Je ne connais que suedois et anglais, et j'apprecie vraiment les aspects historique de la langue française. Alors, j'essaie apprendre français par jouer les jeux-videos et lirer les nouvelles en française, par example.
Mais, je ne peux que dire une seule chose: Merde. C'est difficile.
I'm not an expert by any means either, just know a few thing about Glasgow dialect from following Limmy.

When speaking in past tense in German do you always use haben to indicate that you did something? Zum beispiel: Ich habe Cola getrunken?
Xavier Garcia
No, there are 3 tenses that express something that happened in the past - Präteritum, Perfekt and Plusquamperfekt
Perfekt and Plusquamperfekt always require a Hilfverb - in most cases it's 'haben' but some other verbs require sein, usually they show a transition or movement
Ich arbeitete - Präteritum/ Ich habe gearbeitet - Perfekt/ Ich hatte gearbeitet - Plusquamperfekt
Ich war - Präteritum/ Ich bin gewesen - Perfekt/ Ich war gewesen - Plusquamperfekt
If you need help looking up the tenses of verbs just use verbformen.de
Aiden Myers
Ah okay. Thanks, I kept running into different things like that in past tense and was wondering how it all worked
Justin Ward
It's the equivalent of the English tenses Past Simple, Present Perfect and Past Perfect
LWT(learning with texts) is free and does basically the same thing as far as i know. It is a pain in the ass to install though
Austin Reyes
Could you please give brief explanation of plusquamperfekt?
Ayden Sanders
It's just like your past perfect, it usually describes a situation that has occurred in the past before another past action. You'll very rarely see it being used in a sentence stand alone, the most times you would use it is in a Temporalsatz with a preposition such as nachdem, bevor, seit, etc: mein-deutschbuch.de/nachdem.html
Ich las den Brief, nachdem ich gegessen hatte. Präteritum + Plusquamperfekt
Liam Russell

Jack Bailey
>a situation that has occurred in the past before another past action Oh, so does that directly correspond to "had done" in English?

Do you guys like working off Grammar/Workbooks? Do you find them useful?
