Anglos deserve to be bullied. Prove me wrong.

Not our fault we were born into English-speaking cultures

Not C1 (obv) but that sounds like a fuckton of work just to evade (You) tracking. Literally just clear your browser storage and they're gone since it's client side. Reply tracking is localStorage based (localStorage is like cookies but way better in case you didn't know) and there's a myriad of ways to do that without having two physical units, such as private/incognito mode which ought to be the quickest and easiest way, or clearing or manipulating the localStorage key value, or just another browser, or even just simple DOM editing, etc etc
Heck, you can even give yourself (You)s that aren't actually yours by manipulating the key value.

Resources for an American marrying a German?

I live in America. My fiance resides in Germany. We have begun the process of preparing for our marriage, and one of the requirements for that marriage is that I pass a fluency test at the A1 level in German. My fiance does his best to reassure me that the A1 level is completely within my grasp, but I am something of a worry-wort and have been trying my best to find the best resources possible to prepare myself for the exam. I plan on taking the exam at the Goethe-Institut Dresden. Does anyone have any advice for me as to what I should study specifically?

why the fuck do people ask for the eaiest resources to find on the internet

Since the Duolingo English to Polish course's Tips & Notes feature is not finished, does anyone know of any website or .pdf perhaps that explains Polish grammar?

Trying to decide which language I should learn first, what do you think?

>Spanish
Learned in school, know it intermediately but I'm so burned out from studying it I can't bring myself to perfect it.

>Russian
Easy as I speak Bulgarian. Sounds really nice to me, and my family has some connections to Russia.

>Greek
I like the country, I'm part Greek, the words sound cool. I want to travel around there more.

>Italian
Traveled to Italy several times, the language is beautiful.

Just do Duolingo.

Russian. You can't learn a language you don't like or don't want to learn (Spanish) and the other two aren't as useful. Unless you really like Greek or Italian more than Russian, go with Russian.

What do you guys think of my language learning strategy:

1. Learn the 1000 most common words
2. Learn most common phrases
3. Learn basic grammar
4. Improve by watching, reading and listening to stuff in the language

>matrem tuam futui
Based

I don't get it

Why are you a faggot? I mean what do you get out of it? I'm not even being mean or trolling. I legitamately want to know why you have chosen the life of a little bitch? Why be submissive to other men? Why take cock up your ass? Why be a cum dump for other men to use you as they please? Your mouth and asshole are for their pleasure and you get nothing out of the deal other than being used. What makes that lifestyle so amazing for you? Why not bulk up and be an alpha?

What THE hell does eto mean

Most simple way to put it - This is

I actually hope you fucking die

I hope your fiance is out there fucking other women right now, you're never going to get A1

Eu como pão todos os dias mas tenho alergia a leite.
Translate what I said and give me an answer in portuguese.

He can't he only learned to say the one phrase

If you ever see a bitchy american flag insulting others just know that isnt me but someone using my name

Anyway I recommend buying or downloading college textbooks treffpunkt or wir geht's have great series, to reach A1 you dont have to finish the entire book but just half of it to be sure, just make sure you know all the vocabulary of each chapter and do all the exercises and study the grammar.

Honestly nothing is better than an old fashion text book to learn a language. Hope that helps, let me know if u have any questions

Imagine you are going to move where the language is spoken, imagine you're going to read their literature, watch their movies and fuck their women.

Now which langs are you interested in?

What the fuck is wrong with you baby girl? Have sex (with me)

That's what everyone does lol

If he only learnt that then I'll push him forward.

death to lang

>Wir gehts

Wie geht's

that got recommended to me too and i dont even watch russian/language learning videos

Ten years ago, I only surfed internet in my native language and thought that the internet was big, but when I learned English, internet became a WHOLE NEW world for me. New media, new entertainment, new porns(yes), new fictions. I thought that's it. That's all the internet I wanted. But again, after practicing Japanese, here comes again, a WHOLE NEW world. New games, new stories, new porns, new online communities. Then I realized English part of the internet was just a small part. There are new porns and stories for me to discover out there.

It's not interesting or useful and the people are absolutely horrid

I'm sure if you searched very hard you'd stumble upon one or two opportunities to practise it in Ingerland. Their literary history is quite large and extensive, but I'm not very sure which variety of Arabic would be the best choice for that. I'd suggest you read up on Fusha Arabic, Modern Standard Arabic and then actual spoken dialects, like Egyptian or Levantine Arabic. The former two varities aren't spoken languages in the sense that people use them for day to day conversation, but they have at least a passive understanding of it. Fusha Arabic is the "purest form of Arabic" as it's the language the Qur'an is written in, while Modern Standard Arabic is a form of Arabic used for newspapers and government documents, which is usually a good starting point before you start to branch out. Egypt has probably the biggest share of Arabic media distribution, but many say it's just a meme and not actually worth it. Levantine Arabic covers quite some countries and so do the North African varities.

It all boils down to what you want to get out of it since studying Arabic definitely takes a bit more time than studying other languages as there is a lot to learn. It has a ridiculously huge vocabulary, an unorthodox (for Europeans) writing system and quite complex grammar. You yourself have to think about what you want to get out of it, or what it is that you need Arabic for.

Also don't forget that you'll have to deal with the culture of the Arab world while studying Arabic. This is a big point and you should keep that in mind, if you know what I mean.

Are there any languages you regret studying?

I regret wasting 2 years trying to learn Korean. Dropped it when I realized I never wanted to live in Korea and there was no point in me learning. I could have taken than time to become fluent in a couple romance languages instead, rather than tackling monster Korean.

>la memorabilia
No need for the article
>un visto
"una vista"
>di questa montagna
montagna = mountain
collina = hill
>Smettila di arrabiare gli italiani
"di far arrabbiare gli italiani"
>era un errore
Either passato prossimo or remoto would work better in this context
>qualunque libri
"qualche libro"
>riguarda di amare una persona non reale
"riguardo l'amare una persona"
or
"sull'amare una persona"
Also, "persona" usually refers to an actual person, if you want to refer to the character of a story it's probably better translated as "personaggio"
>dalla Armata
"dall'Armata"
>Oggi lo serve
No need for "lo"
>sono creato
"le cose" is female plural, therefore "sono create"
>i nostri religioni
Again female plural, "le nostre religioni"
>?
Don't know if you gave up or just forgot to write it, but it should be "in cosa?"
>Nell'obbligazioni
"Nelle obbligazioni", or "in obbligazioni"
>i quote del Canale di Suez
Should be "le quote", but then again the correct word is "le azioni"
>carte
"documenti" is maybe a better translation
>Qual è il suo affare?
I don't think there's a proper way to translate "what was his business" if not "di cosa si occupava?"
>Era una libra di lui, quella del Capitano Nemo
"Era un suo libro, quello"
>tutta la roba
Don't really know what you mean here, the best way to translate from english "or something" would be " o qualcosa di simile"
>Ho sento
"Ho sentito"
>forepiano
"pianoforte"
>le classe
"le classi", but we don't use classe with the meaning of lesson in italian, you should say "lezioni di pianoforte" or "corso di pianoforte"

Korean and Japanese are actually worthless languages.

>i have heard people say they regret learning..
did they give reasons?
