>It's not even just a long meme word nobody would use. but that particular one is
Jackson Baker
Could be, but since you can make complex, coherent sentences out of individual words, there might actually be contexts requiring imagery or expressions that would warrant using them. Compare that to very long words in other languages, which don't really have much going for them.
Dominic Smith
its similar for all abbo languages in the northern hemisphere
Thomas Martin
It looks the same as the Abbo and Inuit languages in Northern Canada.
Samuel Collins
What could have compelled them to express themselves in such a convoluted manner when other languages appear significantly easier?
Luis Bennett
i think its because the languages were entirely oral before white man came and gave them a "writing system"

based I find minority languages very interesting. In Italy (unlike in France) they're quite widely spoken.
I have this summer off before school starts again, think I'll study French in my free time. I'm intermediate at French from high school and uni.
What's a good way to go from intermediate to advanced? I'm thinking it'll have to be a mix of consuming French content mixed with some serious study times. Whatchya think? (Sorry for reposting in new thread.)
The weirdest thing my mutt brain is going to have trouble with in celtic languages is definitely consonant mutations
Brayden Sanchez
Is that just the Goidelic languages?
Cameron Wilson
I believe all the modern ones, of both goidelic and brythonic, undergo some kind of consonant or vowel mutation. I'm going with scottish gaelic in particular to try and learn.

usually just native cause its quick, or indian or First Nations. Eskimos =/= natives
Jackson Mitchell
That's not what the image is. It's showing the counties where French is widely spoken.
Evan Foster
Native is cringe though. Born in Canada= native
Joseph Hill
You cant deny that literally anybody who says native here in Canada, almost exclusively refers to Native Americans
Joseph Rogers
thats true but its still cringe

what did he mean by this. Bad post, leaf-man. Duolingo really doesn't teach you that much. It's nice because it's fun (gamified?) and encourages you to at least review a little bit every day, but I still don't like it. Naisu job, burger-man. How does it make you feel? Are you going to stick with it for a couple of years so you can experience the pleasures of speaking in a whole other language?
Du lærer det vel ikke grunnet videregående skolegang, gjor du? Da er du underaldret og blir bannlyst fra denne nettsiden, vet du? Why spanish? How have you been studying it? For how long? Can you estimate your own level?
I showed some Inuktitut to 3 Greenlandic posters, and they said they could understand some bits here and there, but it was not fully intelligible.
Tyler Perry
Nah man it's shit normies use that really won't get you far at all. Even a fully fleshed out course like German or French or Spanish won't even get you to A2 level upon completion. At best it will get your feet wet and ready for more serious study.
Kevin Walker
>At best it will get your feet wet and ready for more serious study That's the point of Duolingo though
Ethan Sanchez
yea... they offered it at my highschool and I figured it would be more lax than spanish class. Told myself I'd go to japan at some point but 6 yrs later never went.
Jason Scott
Did you learn enough to be considered fluent?

I've been learning French with Pimselur for a short while now, but I've recently seen posts saying Pimselur isn't a great learnign source, how true is this anons? I'm currently doing: >Pimselur for 1 hour >Duolingo for 1 hour and after I finish duo >Do Memrise for 1 hour Also, what's a good Russian learning source? Ive read the wiki and heard people say PushkinInstitute is really good, but the whole damn site is in Russian. Thanks
I'm trying to learn french. Actually pretty pissed off with duolingo because >Je m'appelle user meaning "my name is user" confused me so I looked into it and it actually means "I call myself user", which makes sense, but if you put that as the answer to the duolingo questions it says you're wrong, so now I'm worried it gonna further confuse me and give me wrong translations if I keep using duolingo.
Asher Morris
That's very sad to hear. The same happened to me with german. I was forced to learn it in school for about three years, i knew a tiny bit, but I never had any interest in it and was happy to stop using it the second my classes were over. Japanese though I have been using every day for about a year and a half now, and I intend to use every day for the rest of my life though. I hope you find a language you can live with for the rest of your life, too, user!
Asher Sullivan
>french and russian are you me? i just started french but hope to learn both eventually
Robert Williams
That seems like a minor issue. It shouldn't dissuade you from getting your feet wet with Duolingo. You should probably keep using Duolingo until it gets dry or becomes a slog. Also since Duolingo does a shitty job with grammar, you should probably pick up a grammar book or something. I have quite a few here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/140Vms51VOL-F8sLqAtQph1cPo8XCWInE?usp=sharing
Sebastian Harris
been learning it for about 2 weeks now, things are going very slow. Still better than french
Chase Flores
No, just basic conversation really. Enough to know what the subject was about, and to make my way around japan without needing to use english. Reading and writing took up most of the time, but I can still recognize characters even if I can't remember them off the top of my head. If I was smart I would have gone to japan earlier, either on a school sponsored adopt-a-family type of thing or through a website like helpx to work at some daycare/hostel for a few months. Thanks ともだち, I was really into learning languages for a bit, studied some arabic as well. Currently considering minoring in arabic, but I want to learn spanish because I've always lived around mexicans/puerto ricans and I would love to know what my gf is saying half the time
trying to get back into french, i learned it pretty heavily before my trip to france then pretty much stopped once i got back. im reading the bonjour effect right now which is crucial reading to anyone going to france or paris, at least the first chapter. its explaining why i received such shit treatment in grocery stores. fucking frogs. looking back on it i want to kms

Moi je m'appelle is also another way to announce your name.

yea that's the idea, I could probably learn a decent amount before fall classes. Might look at buying a textbook with some audio or something
