So I'm trying to learn French but I am confused about using 'would + verb' and 'will + verb'. Aren't these exactly the same thing and if so, how would you be able to distinguish these two if you're listening?

Based on your experience, which would be better for supplementary learning?
my wife chino... I WANT TO FUCK CHINO please chino is so cute my wife chino is so cute chino chan sex chino sex with chino i'd like some more kafuu chino sex with chino kafuu chino my wife cute is so chino wife

Duolingo focuses a bit on structure and grammar while still teaching phrases and vocabulary, Memrise is about memorization and vocabulary. They pair together pretty well if you're new to a language. To supplement a regular program or book, I'd probably say Memrise, because it will more directly focus on vocabulary and phrases, while Duolingo is a bit more generalist and less specialized.
>That feel when already speak German and Spanish, and learning French
That being said, seems like a decent list except for italian even being that high up and russia that low but it's from the UK so that probably explains it
is chinese as easy as it first seems? (not learning the characters)
Nicholas Wood
You probably have this Dutch too. The first one is a condition meaning there's a chance for it to happen or not. Future is meant to be used whenever you are sure something will happen. >Je voyagerais cet été, si j'ai de l'argent. I'd travel this summer if I've the money >Je voyagerai cet été. I will (definitely) travel this summer. Note that they are written differently so in a text there's absolutely no mix them up. Orally, however, there's a slight difference in pronunciation but some frenchies don't do it. You gonna have to get it via context in those cases.
>(not learning the characters) what's the point of being illiterate? I get it if you live in china and need quick conversational gains before learning to write but otherwise? for what purpose?
t. learning chinese
Joseph Richardson
also Chinese is a tonal language so its hard to understand as well
Mason Howard
how long does it take to complete a Duolingo course and is it good? I just want to make sure it's worth my time.
Cooper Gonzalez
Depends on how fast you work. Try Lingodeer too, you might like it more
Yes, it does everything. I am using it to supplement my Chinese learning sometimes and I like it more than Duolingo
David Evans
Duolingo has more langs though, so Lingodeer might not have the one you are learning, and you have to download the app, which you don't have to do with Duolingo
Benjamin Butler
perfect, thanks
I'm learning French. I just confirmed that lingodeer does have French
Sebastian Williams
you can use this for chink language. mandarinspot.com/annotate
Tyler Richardson
谢谢,朋友!That looks very useful

Daniel Stewart
easy desu, chinese grammar is ooga booga tier but you're anglo so i assume your pronunciation will be absolutely horrid and unintelligible to chinks if you don't spend enough time practicing phonology
how can I understand songs in English without looking up the lyrics? I seem to have the same problem with Portuguese as well but everyone I've asked about has replied me with "I don't know what you're talking about"s so far. if I listen to a sentence it's very likely that I would struggle in understanding it if it was sung, but other than this it probably wouldn't be a problem at all
Bem específico o teu problema, como tu disseste ter problemas mesmo em português não me parece relacionado a idiomas. Talvez devas visitar um otorrino mesmo.

Aren't all the Romance languages just dialects then since they can all pretty much understand each other? I have to switch to english a lot while speaking with swedes and danes since they can't understand norwegian that well.

Svara honom inte. Han har fått för sig att våra språk är dialekter av varandra och han vägrar lyssna på en om man förklarar varför han har fel. Hans enda argument är "hurr norrmän och svenskar förstår varandra så därför är deras språk dialekter".
Juan Powell
>hurr norrmän och svenskar förstår varandra så därför är deras språk dialekter Swedish confirmed for Anglo-german creole
Brandon Harris
an easy thing or a easy thing? Which one is correct?
Bentley Thompson
Takk for infoen kompis. Mener han at engelsk er en dialekt sammen med svensk, norsk og dansk sånn at han kan LARP'e viking eller noe sånt?
Henry Morales
Literally doesn't matter because you'll only use either of these for the first 1-3 months of learning
Oliver Hughes
I would like a Balkan fren. seems like an underrated area that would be fun to visit.
Nej, bara att norska, svenska och danska är dialekter av varandra eftersom de är "så lika". Hans "bevis" består av Skavlan-intervjuer på norska/svenska och klipp där svenskar är med i norska filmer.
Jag säger till honom att det är individuellt med förståelsen och alla kan inte de andra språken lika bra som vissa, men han vill inte lyssna.

>How do you pronounce that L with the slash through it like /w/ w in Polish is /v/ afaik
Jordan Rogers
>If the word starts with a vowel, use "an". in speech, not in writing. A lot people seem to misunderstand this

Hvorfor tror alltid amerikanere at de vet mer en folket som bor der? Jeg har til og med hatt problemer med å forstå noen svensker når jeg er rett over grensa, gjerne de med skarre r (Skånsk?)
Colton Bailey
most people want to leave this place, that should tell you a few things my lad
what I meant here is: write/say 'an' before words that begin with a vowel when you pronounce them. Don't be tricked by words that are written with an initial vowel but are still not pronounced with a vowel.
it's easy to learn the rule 'use an before words starting with a vowel' and then go on to say 'an use', just because 'use' is written with an initial u. tl;dr listen to the word and then you'll see which article to use
Jackson Allen
Ł is pronounced like your W
Kayden Torres
>Hvorfor tror alltid amerikanere at de vet mer en folket som bor der? Vet inte. Besserwisserkomplex kanske?
>gjerne de med skarre r (Skånsk?) Används i mer än skånskan favä som t.ex. i min egen dialekt småländska.
Oliver Long
>Don't be tricked by words that are written with an initial vowel but are still not pronounced with a vowel. I know that. Today i saw a kraut's post with an article matching the noun instead of an adjective, so i was just asking in order to confirm/negate my doubts.
James Cox
wowee person who says god spoke to them also says god happened to speak a language that they understand. how convenient.

btw "come to be" or "come into being"? which one is correct?
