Mann, so ein doofer Fehler. Es heißt natürlich 'der Islamische Staat' und nichts anderes.

Yeah, I'd really like to do UN. Maybe UNEP Even if I ended up hating it, I'm sure it could get me somewhere cool. I was thinking foreign service, but I like the sound of it less each day.

That sounds nice. I just visited a a volunteer in the mountains, and his site is usually in the 60s. It's already getting hellish out here mid-day. I miss the cool winter 70s. Not sure I could survive less than 40 degrees anymore.

die ist auch* anerkannt * , also you dont have to put wird here this doesnt require the passive voice

Der Islamischer Staat im Irak und der Levante wird nach dessen Besiegung durch die Demokratische Kräfte Syriens und die US-geführte Koalition sein ganzes Gebiet verlieren.

I think there was a problem with the way moldova wrote this , the verb "loses" should be past tense , but you wrote your sentence in the future , although he did say "following the defeat" which it implies it was in the past

Der islamische staat verlor sein ganzes Gebiet in Irak und in der Levante, Nach der Niederlage gegen Demokratische Kräfte Syriens zussamen mit der US-geführte Koalition

why did you write nach dessen?

why didnt u pick a based country with a different lang to do some charity work, even moldova would have been based

>die ist auch* anerkannt * , also you dont have to put wird here this doesnt require the passive voice
Die because 'die französische Sprache' is implied instead of 'das Französisch'?

>why did you write nach dessen?
I thought after its defeat would be translated this way.

Thanks for your corrections. Much appreciated!

yeah and no problem

I didn't choose. I specified no specific country preference with a note that Africa would be preferred with agriculture/environment focus. Didn't even think that I might get sent to Jamaica. I don't really like it here, but I think it is useful for a future in development work. Middle income countries require much more sophisticated solutions, so it's helping me grow too.

Also, we speak an English creole here. There's a movement for language recognition because it's not really mutually intelligible. If you've ever listened to Sean Paul, that's an easy mode "acrolectic" dialect.

yeah that makes sense that it would be it's on language then

It av nuff problem dem. Mi tink seh yu kyan riid englush, yu kyan riid de patwa wurd dem.

The vocab is very similar, with occasional loan words from various west african langs. The grammar structure is simplified but filled with redundancies. In my experience, learning to read and write from English takes very little effort (a little more if you use the standardized alphabet), but to actually understand it is just as difficult as another language. Ironically, though most Jamaicans are fluent in both, they can't read Patwa.

damn nigga u fucked up, how much longer u staying? where are u going next?

What made you choose ME over OE

I'm out in a year. I like it here for the most part. Definitely couldn't live here. It's lonely as hell. Not re-enlisting with Peace Corps afterwards. If I do end up getting the internship with the UN there's a chance they'd put me here for at least another year. Living in the capital wouldn't be too bad, of course.

Too autistic to skip ME

I just want a cute frenchboy/girl to practice my french with, is it asking too much, mon Dieu ?

This but with Russian

wew what's wrong with my connection

What is the best way to get yourself to learn with structure? I have access to all the free pdfs nad audiobooks, duolingo, memrise, etc but i want a structured setup, is there any plan or routine thats proven to be efficient and work? I dont want to just do 10 minutes of each resource randomly a day.

Well technically all you need is relevant experience, one or two degrees, and to know at least two of their official working languages I think one of the languages has to be English, French, or Mandarin. The applications are online for the various departments, but it strikes me as the kind of thing someone tells you about, as the career pages are horribly difficult to navigate.

To get in, I think you try your luck as an unpaid intern, get in with the UN volunteers (which sounds extremely difficult itself), or apply for the junior officer program. If you're under 35, JOP is what gets you in for life.

Is Danish the easiest scandinavian language?

They are all relatively easy to learn, but I would start with Swedish since it is the most widely spoken. Norwegian is supposed to be very hard to write

Danish pronunciation is awful

welcome to learning Asian language. Now enjoy cramming vocab in your head until it explode, if learning Jap or Kor, not being able to understand sentences even while knowing the words and being asked why it takes you so much time by people who think language learning is easy because they were good at Spanish in high school. Enjoy Chinese fags telling you how hard they have it because they have to learn more characters. Also enjoy the lowering tolerance level from Japs and Kor as you get better and better at their language, meaning they willl be more and more unsympathetic around your mistakes.
This is a ride to hell. Rido no helldesu.
You can jump from the wagon at every time but then you will always be the guy who learnt an Asian language, Japanese to make things worst, and gave up, like so many weebs before you.
You put yourself in this situation, now you are either a weebfag who gave up, and failure will be added to the long list of humiliations. Or maybe 10 years later you achieve the sacro saint fluency and you get to understand jav and Chinese cartoons without translation. And this will be the achievement of your life. You doomed yourself baka. No amount of whining will reverse this, who would pity a Japanese learner let's be honest here. I would certainly not.

I've seen you asking about Israelis, I don't know why but if your interest is Hebrew, I recommend this video with English subtitles that I've seen several times, which features both Medieval and Contemporary Hebrew in it, the subject is purely Hebraistic: youtube.com/watch?v=AhC33ug-r5k According to Wikipedia, the traditions of these Jews and their version of Hebrew are remarkable.

At some points there's both English subtitles and Hebrew text, so it's bound to be useful.

This one is very similar to the point that one of them copied some of the other, but it's in English and it's not as good as that one: youtube.com/watch?v=YzpuQjU0F6Q

Are you a native Korean or a learner/migrant? Just wondering.

How many words do you learn per day Jow Forums ?

French in Korea

Thanks user, are you Jewish? Are you also interested in Hebrew? I'm glad I could read the text in the introduction and I can understand a bit of what the family is saying (not the yemenite Jews though).
Why is Arabic so hard to write and read? I'm considering studying it as soon as my Hebrew gets to an acceptable level.

20 in Anki.

I'm an Aramaic speaker, who's been waiting for a chance to add an article for it on the Jow Forums wiki. The language has a higher proportion of Jews compared to most languages, but I'm not one. And their ongoing "replacement" of the language with Hebrew would be a big blow to Aramaic, on its own ongoing path to endangerment & extinction. I believe I found those videos because the Yemen Jews are one of the few Jewish groups to still repeat the Targums, spoken translations of the Bible with slightly different material, from when Aramaic "replaced" Hebrew as the spoken language of Palestine & Israel. So now the zombie comes for revenge.

Like many speakers, I wasn't fully aware of the closeness with Hebrew and the long ties between the two, but videos with English subtitles like that first one have made it very clear. Did you know the Hebrew script is considered more or less a variation of the classical Aramaic script used by B.C. Emperors? I have found these images of that writing for comparison: khalilicollections.org/all-collections/aramaic-documents/

Indeed, the Jewish Talmud which might have the longest Aramaic text there is, Gemara, has it written in the Hebrew/Aramaic writing. So I might learn that even if I don't learn Hebrew, but listening I can constantly hear similarities (with the modern speech let alone ancient) so it wouldn't be hard.

In sum, if you have an interest in both Hebrew and Arabic, don't forget Aramaic and/or Syriac which is often named along with those two.

So you're going in that direction, I see

I prefer starting with OE so that I can track the sound changes towards the modern period.

i've got my written german test on wednesday, still slightly nervous. im having the most trouble with just learning vocab and the appropriate genders but conjugating for nominative and accusative, verb placement, and pronouns im pretty confident with.

Viel Erfolg!

What language should I learn: Norwegian or Czech?

Fennoswedish

Attached: 15494586285310.jpg (226x258, 9K)

Czech because it's cute

Norwegian, obviously

Danish is very hard to pronounce and doesn't pronounce half the word. Norwegian has easy pronunciation.

Yeah, I've already looked this up. Even though danish has quite easier vocabulary than other scandinavian languages, norwegian is the easiest due to its simple grammar.
This post is mine as well. I'm struggling to choose which of these two languages shall I learn. I mean, I can do both, but not simultaneously. So I don't know which one to learn first. Norsk is easy bc it's somehow similar to english while czech is similar to russian

hi kelen

If you use Duolingo, Norwegian (from English) is arguably their best course. There's a couple Anki decks out there, but you're not going to find a lot of resources for Norwegian. Can't tell you about Czech though.

Learn German first then every scandi language except icelandic will be easier to learn

That's like telling a French speaker to learn Latin so Italian will be easier. Scandi languages are some of the closest to English and therefore some of the easiest to learn for anyone who speaks English.

Attached: 1495756483094.png (314x296, 200K)

Grammar-wise, it would just be easier to learn a scandi language. I'd probably recommend learning one in order to learn German.

Btw, I feel like 'to look up' doesn't really mean what I wanted to say. What's the right phrasal verb to express the process of examining something in order to get information concerning some problem?

Scandi languages aren't close.

French, Frisian, and Dutch are much closer.

Why so mean? Did you get cucked again?

You gotta start somewhere.

I finished an 8 hour shift on my feet as a line cook. My legs hurt, my feet hurt

I miss being a neet and learning all day

Did you flirt with the waitresses at least?

One said
> what's your name
> user
> Okai cool

Later another waitress and her friend were talking and one said
> What's your name
> user
> See? I told you it wasn't a complicated name.

I still don't know the waitress' names. The main chef is a 60 year old diabetic woman, and the other cook is a guy about my age

Where them frenchies at

Wait didn't mean to tag you

That doesn't really sound like flirting

I really hate Spanish class. I just want to become fluent and not deal with partners and cultural political shit
