REEEEE HOW THE FUCK DO I LEARN A SECOND LANGAUGE? WHY DO YOU FAGGOTS DO IT? WHY IS IT SO FUCKING HARD?

It's easier to get immersed in the language when most movies, tv shows, music, games and such being pushed by media conglomerates are made in english. If you want to find something in another language you basically need to go out of your way.

read a book you dumb nigger
I don't even need to have met you in real life to know that you have not tried reading a book, I can tell from your flag
online tutorials as well you dumb cunt

just do something you enjoy, watch movies in that language (with subtitles obviously)/ read comics/ play vidya, you'll slowly pick up bits and pieces. (also study, duh) that should be enough if you're not a brainlet.

Th-thanks, England.

You already speak the lingua franca. Why bother learning

Motivation is the only thing you need to learn a language.

that's funny because yesterday i downloaded duolingo on my phone and started learning japanese(im not a weeb), its actually pretty easy, now i can say six(6) and two(2), i am confident that in 1 years time i will be able to speak japanese.

тихo, дeбeл

You are literally retarded
You speak the worlds lingua franca yet you want to speak another language? For what purpose ?

wich leanguage do you wanna learn op?

give up and do another thing

Duolingo is shit

It takes practice. More so, TIME. If you practice and hour a day, I think it's 7-years till you're fluent in spanish. Go to classes, get the basics down, after a few years and you're competent then go for immersion. You can learn a language in just a few years then.

What do you recommend other than duolingo? please tell me of a free language learning app that is better than duolingo.

Duolingo is NOT suggested for japanese. guidetojapanese.org/learn Here's your basic foundation, and I think they've some progress path suggestion on there.

I dont want you to learn spanish, I dont like terrorism

I think lingo deer is suggested for kanji too, but idk. Here's some resources compiled into a starters guide reddit.com/r/LearnJapanese/wiki/index/startersguide and
djtguide.neocities.org

Have you tried paying attention to your classes? It worked for me

>even a retarded literal
>retarded literal
Remember Joāo, adjectives come BEFORE the noun in english, you literal retard.

thanks ameribro
what a spic

Most of us start learning it in elementary school
In Lithuania it's a norm to know 3 languages by the age of 18

In second school year you start learning english, and then in fifth grade you choose your third language - German/ French / Russian. Nowadays zoomers choose mostly German.

^This guy is talking out of his ass

tfw i make countless grammatical mistakes in one line.
FUCK FUCKEST FUCK FAT FATCOCK IN YOUR MOUTH

And then in uni you can get new language course for cheap as well.

I personally know 5 languages - Lithuanian, English, Russian, German and basic latin (I'm a law student)

he clearly meant to say "retarded liberal"

How are you supposed to read a book in a foreign language, if you haven't learned it yet?
>be me, speak some basic russian
>buy a book in russian, hoping to improve my russian
>"wtf is this word? I'll just keep google translate open"
>use google translate 5 times per sentence
>get confused, don't understand anything
>don't even get through the first page

Aren't all slavic languages mutually intelligible ?

I know Russian for example, I understand like 60% of Polish

I'm learning russian on duolingo and I bought a book as well. I can understand a good 30% of most slav posts which is cool and reading them is practice

>retarded literal
>chimpanzilian calling anyone low IQ
This post has it all

At least in English they make dual language books or short story collections with explanations and worksheets.

>go to this duolingo site
>22.8m people learned/learning spanish
Muy fácil? I might finish it then, forgot almost everything in High School.

I mean, I was, but... It seemed like good advice

And the time frame is from 2,000 hours for fluency. Not just basic conbersation.

Not all, it depends on which two languages you're looking at. Serbian and Russian are far apart. Slovak for example is much easier to grasp.

Nice
I find russian easier to read than to be able to express things in though.
The case system makes a lot more sense when some else is doing it rather than yourself

Read easier material, with simpler syntax. Then move on to more complicated stuff.

Si, si, muy simplice.

Этo хopoшo мoй дpyг

>can't learn a different natural language
>can't learn programming languages either
Who /no discipline/ here

You're just lazy. Try relaxed activities to work on your focusing, like reading.

how does this work exactly? asking for a friend

Anyone have experience with quickly and easily learning a language’s orthography? Like, even if youhave no interest at all in learning the actual language. I want to demystify some of the more retarded orthographies I keep coming across (viet, french, POLSKI) and at least be able to halfway pronnuonce it in my head when I see it

Second language is pretty easy

Difficulty of learning languages from scratch, not being born into them, and not living in the country where the language is spoken. Assuming that each new language is as unrelated to the previous languages that you know as possible, so it's a new ground to you every single time.
0 is almost no effort
100 is years upon years of consistent practice

Second language: 40
Third language: 20
Fourth language: 60
Fifth language: 80
Sixth language: 80
...

Your expectations you set for yourself are unrealistically high. Learn patience.

Чтo? Я нe пoнимaю.

Is Finnish worth learning? I have a really good Teach Yourself book and I feel like it would be a shame not to learn it.

just get used to it.

>Aren't all slavic languages mutually intelligible ?
They aren't
Between the northern slavic countries, there's pretty much 2 groups: russian language and a group of languages that detached from old slavonic (pre-russian language in the rys' region) and undergone a huge influence of the polish language group
Such languages include, ukranian, belarussian, latvian, and some other ones that I personally don't know about.

So for example ukranian would be only 50-60% mutually intelligible. Though between the nations themselves, since russian is a "2nd unofficial official language" of ukraine, the intelligibility is asymmetrical and ukranians would understand more of russian than russians would understand of ukranian
Belarussian and russian are less than 50% mutually intelligible
Belarussian and ukranian are 80% mutually intelligible
Polish and belarussian are 60-70%
Polish and ukranian are 70-80%

Duolingo is only not shit for 1.5 languages at most
>tell me of a free language learning app
Your learning app is your messenger and chat groups with natives + a dictionary + gtranslate
If you use those shit services like duolingo or memerise you won't go anywhere

そうですね

Хyй

Language learning is a habit, not a discipline
If you can't make it your habit then you'll never learn shit because nobody in the world has enough will power to specifically sit down and do some shit with no benefit

That was a jargonism, a quote from movie Brat and a relatively common edgy way to greet a group of people

Reading a book?
Learning a language is about interest, discipline and having fun.
You may set strong objectives about why you want to learn ir, you may like this language and have pleasure speaking it, and eventually you may be patient enough because it is a very long and frustrating activity.
For example I learned English out of pure necessity and I don't really like this language, this is why I have a mid-tier level and progress very slowly.

Don't think there's much use for it unless you plan to immigrate here or have a burning desire to shitpost on ylilauta.

why does your retarded school system not have mandatory second language? I even learned 2 more languages in high school

Attached: apu pc.jpg (1508x892, 146K)

Having a foreign language as a part of education system doesn't imply anything
In russia, english classes are mandatory from grade 5 (12-13yo) until the end of university (20-23yo). That's almost 10 years
As you can see the results are nonexistent

There has to be an inherent desire to learn to actually learn, otherwise it's just memorizing which is futile and will be forgotten the moment it's not acutely needed anymore, as is the case with swedish education in Finland as well.

I think learning anything is worth it. But you're most probably not going to have much use for Finnish. I just started learning Czech and I don't think it's going to help me in any way in my life. But I think learning itself is the point in learning languages.

having English as your first language is the best, you have access to a lot of knowledge written only in English and everyone need to speak English if they foreigners

>get a "teach yourself" book for that language
>listen to songs and watch tv
>translate articles

If your language has a Language Transfer course, do it, it's amazing

English is by far the the easiest language, so I wouldn't consider it as a full-fledged second language. Even ameritards can master a simplified version of it.

I mean, the way I learned English was unironically through playing video games and trying my fucking hardest to communicate with the people on my team in English, regardless of how autistic I sounded.

As time went on, I naturally picked up how words sounded, how to put them together into sentences and managed to pick up an accent. If you don't use what you teach yourself on a daily basis, you will forget it and you will not be able to expand on it.
What language is it you are struggling with, user?

Why is learning another language considered so important in anglo culture? Is it a status symbol or something?

Pirate a textbook, 100% it then train more in stuff you like, like games or whatever

>latvian
They're baltic. , like us
And even we understand like 30% of it

learn english is very easy, english my second language and you not even able to tell i not native speaker. i recommend to learn Mandarin as second language because PRC is to become most powerful country soon.

Technically, I learned English in this way. In my opinion, the most important thing is to learn a lot of words, especially basic ones. Nobody said it's gonna be easy

Buy old high school books, use quizlet for the vocabulary parts (you have to manually write them up to the website, but it’s worth it).

There isn't one universal American school system. My high school had mandatory language classes.

Times ago, I read the story of one guy in Russia. He was a programmer. At one day, he was offered to work in German company. The main thing he didn't know any language, except programming language. So he scheduled the interview on next month. For the whole month he had been listening and reading in German language. Every free time he got, he spent on German. Finnaly, he was able to pass the interview and he got the job.

So, what I want to say is that the main thing you should have is motivation.

>learning a second language

Why even bother? Everyone speaks English. If they don't just shout louder and wave your hands around to force them to understand.
