"without the illness [that] should attend it"?

It has to be. "you want to be great, you are not without ambition, but without the ruthlessness that should go with it"

Hey C1, post your cute chicano face for me

If I learn German, will you sit on my face?

How many dialects are in your language?

Why do Russians always sound like their mouths are full.

French
There are a bunch, probably half a dozen major ones at least. They're pretty much mutually intelligible, but they have distinct features and some of them can be a bit tricky to understand if you haven't heard them before.

Yeah Shakespearean English can be a little bit tricky. If you can understand it you're probably doing better than most English speakers though lol

If i said: ihre Frau schreibt.
Would it be offensive? Is it used casually?

About 4.

I think you mean 'Ihre' instead of a lesbian's wife
seems like a normal sentence if you can find a way to use it, e.g.
>Das Drehbuch schreibt Ihre Frau, und wir machen den Rest.
it's polite and I guess you could use it casually with like a colleague
>Wie gehts eigentlich Ihrer Frau?

Hey, if the Britlad learning Swememe is here, I corrected your challenge but it was at the end of the thread's life so maybe you didn't see it.
Also, we need a new challenge going.

One per square kilometer. Norway is quite fun in this regard.

Is norwegian hard to learn it would look fun to visit

I'm still at a beginner level, trying to learn French.

Would you say this woman has a regular French accent, like is it normal native French?
I'm asking because her profile says she is from the UK.

She sounds fine to me though I'm Franco-Ontarien so that could skew my perception.

none
you either have an accent that distinguishes you as a foreigner either you don't

I think it would be roughly as difficult as Dutch for an English speaker, but this is bokmål-Norwegian. Nynorsk-Norwegian is grammatically harder, as it has three genders, while bokmål only has two.

He said dialect.

But apperently it has no native speakers it would sound weird to talk like that no?

you might not cosider them as dislects, but you need to know that your language has some regional features such as pronunciation or some unique words that are in use only in specific regions of your country.

"The village" in different dialects.

Attached: standard_dialektkart-sterke-hokjonsord.png (879x1200, 599K)

I speak Russian. The only real dialectal differences are in pronunciation and intonation. For example: in the Southwest, many G's turn into H's.

>bokmål only has two
Is that so? Isn’t it en, et, ei? Sola instead of solen.

Well yeah. In bokmål, feminine and masculine have fuzed into one. We only use 'et' and 'en' for indefinetes, but the '-a' ending is often used for 'en' words.

like four or five

So you say manna instead of mannen? Hmmm.

No, it's only certain words that it feels natural with, like 'sola', 'dama', 'dora', etc.

Nice dubs, btw.

sounds odd
I've heard things like ordboka and such tho

well, there we go

Greater Polish, Lesser Polish, Masovian, Mazurian and Silesian(depending on how you look at it)?

Yeah, and maaaybe Northern Kresy dialect in today's Lithuania/Belarus. I'm aware of some Polish media there but I didn't hear a big difference aside from pronunciation of "ł" and "h". I've seen people from there use online a weird mixture of Russian, Polish and Lithuanian though, I'm not sure if that can be counted.

I wanna learn Mandarin, where should I start? Listening to some modern Chinese music and it sounds amazing

Also summoning the norwegian who speaks finnish

If you know less than 4 languages (including native), you are an untermensch and commit suicide

>t. russian, ukrainian, belarusian, polish

is polish easy for a russian to learn?

Oui, dont=de qui. Je pense qui le premier est correct, mais le français n'est pas ma langue maternelle.

1st is native language
2nd from another language family
3rd is the second popular language (spanish)
4th is any other language

yes because we have an actual real functional alphabet

What did you mean?

How good should you get at a language before starting to learn another at the same time? I'm still not very far into learning Italian but I already feel like I want to also start learning Spanish or maybe French

Pass the C1-C2 difficulty exam.

Most of them were moved, however a lot still remained, right now there are over 150k of them in Lithuania and almost 300k in Belarus, I wouldn't be sure about which language do they speak, I've heard that Poles in Belarus are (ironically) the majority of Belarusian speakers, since Russian became the language of prestige spoken everywhere outside of remote villages.

It's harder than the other way around I think. You have gotten rid of "to be" in most places so to sound naturally you'd have to add a lot. The cases work in similar fashion with a few exceptions in prepositions, the numerals work also differently, like instead of genitive singular we use plural nominative with 2-4 numbers, we have two genders in plural which takes a lot of getting used to for east slavs. You might find spelling weird but thanks to it you won't confuse some of the homophones which have direct counterparts in Russian, our past tense is basically the л-form combined with conjugated "to be"... It's not the easiest Slavic language for Russians to learn but the level of intelligibility allows to git relatively gud fast.

Scots is LITERALLY the PUREST for of ORIGINAL English.
Prove me wrong.

It's always a good time to start learning Spanish

wonder which is easier to read

youtube.com/watch?v=I8NVPe_gfZQ

like 5, but if you go east past James bay, it varies.
Even if you stay within these 5 dialects, there’s sub dialects. Dialects within dialects. Hell, even on my reserve you can tell if someone is from the east side of the lake or west side of the lake

so yeah, a few

It all depends on goals my dude , my main goal in german was to become B2 but then I realized how limiting this level is, B2 was great but it's like you barely put the tip of your penis in the vagina of the language and you want to keep learning more.


If your main goal is to just travel to a country and be able to get around no problem like asking for directions and having small talk with natives then b1 is good. But if you want to actual have deep conversations and even argue with people about demanding topics than C1 is the goal, that being said it isnt like you stop learning things when you reach C1 either but it's a good enough level to live in a foreign country and make native friends.

and with a timestamp, and vocaroo saying "you want to lick my legs"
