Are there actually people who don't do that? How else are you supposed to get a good accent without living abroad.

Yeah it's called thinking, that's how I learnt english

Korea is better than China so learn Korean

most people do not speak out loud to themselves

i think

Apparently the ctrl+c for the challenge didn't stick, so here it is.

Old challenge

Not necessarily "talking" to yourself but repeating words and sentences your hear, trying to get the pronunciation and accent right, reading out loud. But I guess thinking out loud in your target language could be a good practice, makes you look like a retard to other people but I'm sure it's efficient.

Bagettefrens, I love you

>A good accent
French Guy!
Lol

You'd be surprised

Mandarin (Traditional). Don't be lazy about this.

Anyone saying Korean is taking the piss mate.

Pic relates
This is why they say it is easyer to speake a foreign language, when you are drunk

You guys discriminate each others on TV sets, due to your accent. Don’t give me that Bullshit!

Korean, but I am biased.

Empeñar = to pawn right? As in to sell/loan an item for quick cash
Por ejemplo: "El borracho empeñó su reloj porque quiso ir al casino"
???

French.

I've got a great language learning tip too

> Write about Vikings, read about Vikings, cook food like Vikings, live as a Viking
it's truly devilish

What did we do to deserve such love? Or are you doing that just to spite the germans?

Weikiggos sind mikilos
Vikingi ir atskerigi

C'est comme ça que j'ai amélioré mon français

これです

Yes
But it has other meanings and uses, for example: se empeñó en empeñar su reloj.

>porque quiso ir al casino
porque quería

>talk to myself constantly
>weird distorted voice starts answering

Acquiring vocabulary is
so
fucking
boring

Vocabulary is fun, grammar is the boring part

Just read? What is boring?

having to translate 95% of the words and then forgetting them again

this

Attached: 763.jpg (763x431, 52K)

It's the only way, at some point you stop forgetting them.

t. have rather large korean vocab

Topk kek, made me google tulpa, 10/10

I don't know. I'm pretty sure the tongue calls itself "The Black Speech," but I don't know it's name in English.

It's just the process. Remembering the meaning of a word is entirely subconscious and only improves by repeated exposure. So just read like a zen monk and don't worry if you don't remember a word, just look at the definition and continue without thinking about it. I currently know ~20% of the vocab words that I've run into after about a year of reading. I like reading though.

Absolutely and totally disgusting. The author should feel bad. There's no way I'm downloading a bin from there after the crapware fiasco. Looks like I'm going to have to compile it from source.

And it's repo is a fucking zip file and it's written in ph-fucking-p. Someone needs to have a serious talk with this developer.

I’m fluent in Spanish and English with no notable accent in either language, AMA

What happened? works for me

Attached: hp.png (1920x1080, 241K)

My first language is Spanish and it’s all I spoke for the first 7 years of my life. I’m 23 now and I’ve been speaking English for 16 years. I speak Spanish at home and English everywhere else. I’ve asked and everyone I interact with in both languages says they don’t think I have an accent.

I hate web development, yet I have half a mind to write something for this. It should be possible to write an addon that detects languages and then does something similar without (from a cursory glace) what appears to be a self-hosted server backend. I'm too lazy to actually see it through, though.

What are you learning now friend?

Picking up French. It’s sad how much slower I am at picking it up compared to how fast I picked up English when I was but a young lad.

Youre just the average CHI, how is that impressive? What are we suppose to ask you?

It doesn't work anymore, currently reinstalling to see if it fixes anything, but now I'm reminded of how yanky installing this thing is

>A plague doctor was a medical physician who treated victims of the bubonic plague. In times of epidemics, such physicians were specifically hired by towns where the plague had taken hold. Since the city was paying their salary, they treated everyone: both the wealthy and the poor.
>In the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, some doctors wore a beak-like mask which was filled with aromatic items. The masks were designed to protect them from putrid air, which (according to the miasmatic theory of disease) was seen as the cause of infection. The design of these clothes has been attributed to Charles de Lorme, the chief physician to Louis XIII.

Oh this brings up a question for fr*nchoids.
Do you actually pronounce "que on" as two syllables to avoid saying "con" in speech? When do you write "qu'on"?

>que on
We never say or write that. Que on = qu'on, always. It's alright to say "con", context will be enough for people to know that you're not insulting them in this case.

I've only been been learning Russian for a few months but can understand all of this thanks to knowing serbo-croatian. I hope things get better but I doubt the US has Ukrainian's well being in mind. They just want to piss off Russia

I responded to the pic because it contained the phrase "que on". Is the writer simply a prune?

En fisk, två fiskar, röd fisk, blå fisk

>två fiskar
Oh. Tack så mycket

I'd need to see the full sentence, but unless it's a very very specific structure, you can say "que on".
One other possibility is to say "que l'on" (more literary than qu'on).
But my guess is it's just clumsy writing.
