probably not much but its not necessarily a bad thing, knowing about the world is never a harmful process, all education has innate value

Ponder getting a phd to make people call you doctor to at least get something out of it

not at all, dependent clauses like relative, subordinate, infinitive etc take the verb final construction.

This is a good poster

Out of Anki, Lingvist, Duolingo, Clozemaster, Memrise, which are most worthy of recommendation?
In case of Lingvist, does anyone know if there are ever any discounts? The standard price is outlandish.

It's not random
A. the second verb in a clause becomes the infinitive and goes to the end
B. subordinate clause

I would think Beowolf would be one of those books that were translated into 30 languages already. It was even a movie with Angelina Jolie

Duo is fine as a supplement but even all those together will leave you with broken knowledge at best

They are different things

There is an atrocious translation into Serbian that I swear was done based on another translation. I wanna do it for fun anyway, if no one wants to publish it, I don't really mind.

If you get published, I'll buy a copy

I'm trying to learn Hawaiian, but the duolingo course is a little bare bones and won't teach me any real grammar rules, and I'm too much of a dumbass for moat of the textbooks I've found.
Is there anyone here that speaks it or knows of any good resources for Hawaiian?

I'd look for uni courses and check the textbook list (if available), maybe you find some that you like

I seriously improved with Clozemaster and Lingvist. The rest are not worthy.

Duo is the cleanest, but nothing can help you if you don't practice on your own and speak the language with real people.

Also Clozemaster has recently launched the great translation game. You import any text, the program splits it into sentences, translates automatically (you can correct translations by yourself), and you then write each sentence manually. It helped me memorize language structures and collocations.

Second translation challenge: dumbfuck song stuck in my head edition. Dashes obviously means this line continues into the next.

Are my ribbons tied?

Thanks. Will keep this in mind for later's class

Memrise is best if you use lots of devices otherwise use Anki.

Ehrlich gesagt, ohne den Buchclub wäre ich in meinem Erwachsenenalter keine Bücher gelesen

Do you guys think that mandarin or Arabic is more worth the time investment?

Assuming this isn't a political shitpost, Arabic. Paki memes aside you'll at least get to use it online sometimes

What Russian media should I watch if I wanted to learn it. (I know how to read Russian and a few basic lines)

If you're okay with English with a lot of Russian spoken + English subtitles, The Americans. The middle seasons just kind of drag on though

Bonus verse: I forgot it edition

First, you take a step
Then you point your toe
Hope I know it like I did a week ago
Am I standing straight?
I can hardly wait
To be dancing in the show tonight

Arabic culture is more interesting, but i despise both so i cant say

>Die kleine Schrift schadet meiner Ohren.
>Ich erwäge, um Hörbücher während Pendelzeit anzuhören.
>Ich glaube, dass Bilderbücher zählen wirklich nicht als Bücher. (3)

(1) Are these both acceptable?
>am zweiten Donnerstag jedes Monats
>am zweiten Donnerstag jeden Monat

(2) Could I calque the first clause as:
>(...)wenn es nicht für den Buchclub wäre,...
(2.1) It would perhaps make more sense to substitute 'I would not read any books / würde ich keine Bücher lesen' with
>'I wouldn't have read a single book / hätte ich im Erwachsenalter kein einziges Buch gelesen'

(3) Would a literal translation suffice:
>Ich denke nicht, dass Bilderbücher zählen als echte Bücher.

If perchance you're learning Ancient Greek, please ask the Attic tragedians to dictate you their lost works. Thank you.

That's a stupid idea. The only way to learn a language from a movie is to watch it dubbed and with subtitles in the dub's language. And even better if the movie is originally Russian so you don't get cognitive dissonance from watching the actors' lips that speak in English yet you're hearing Russian. Articulation is a very integral part of language learning.

Of course I'd imagine Russian movies are fucking shit or cringe at best.

Лeтят жypaвли (1957) — another beautiful movie set in the 1940s with a cute main heroine. About wartime.

korrekt
>Heute gehe ich in die Bibliothek
Yes
>Wie weit weg ist sie?
Yes (if its still in relation to the library, if not, then «es» of course)
>Sie ist nur dreiviertel Meile weg (???)
Yes, but you need a relative article, eine dreiviertel Meile
>Ich möchte dieses Buch ausliehen
Yes, but ausleihen
>Der Buchgruppe trifft jeden ersten Donnerstag im Monat
«Der Buchclub» or «Die Buchgruppe», treffen is reflexive in this case, thus «trifft sich»

Yes
>Ist mein haar in Position?
Yes
>Habe ich einen süßen Gesichtsausdruck?

>Und meine Schuhe leuchten

>Ich werde versuchen in Schach zu halten[?]
in this case versuchen is reflexive, so «Ich werde versuchen, mich in Schach zu halten»
>Wenn ich heute Abend in der Show tanze
«bei» instead of «in» and «tanzen» tbdesu
>Sieht mein Shuffle-Schritt so schön aus?
By god, yes
>Mach ich es so, wie du denkst dass ich es machen soll?
Yes, but very literal, I'd say something like
* Mache ich es, wie es dir gefällt?
or with a lot of contractions
* Mach' ich's wie's dir gefällt?
>Wäre etwas falsch wenn ich heute Abend beim tanzen in der Show, einen Kuss geben würde?
Yes, but VERY literal lmao
>Show Time wird bald und ich werde Anst haben
* Bald ist Showtime und ich bekomme Angst
>Ich wünschte dass ich im Spiegel schauen könnte, ob ich vorberietet bin
* Ich wünschte, ich könnte in den Spiegel schauen, um zu sehen, ob ich vorbereitet bin

without the comma. why? thats a very loaded question to be honest lmao. its difficult to tell, but all information about amounts is conveyed that way, in english youd say "three quarters of a mile", in german "a three quarter mile" is enough. the same way in commonwealth english its sometimes alright to say "a half hour" or "half ten" (although it means 10:30, in german thatd be 9:30!). theres no real explanation as to why that is.

I apologize if I'm reading too much into what you say but would you recommend some other language in monetary and literary terms? All websites about language learning recommend mandarin and arabic as the big ones to go for in those departments

ok cool
sorry, the way some information in german is imparted still eludes me but im slowly getting used to it.
phrases like "es gibt" seem nonsensical when directly translated to english but it makes sense to me in german now so i understand there are some fixed phrases that are simply deeply integrated within the language.

by the way, when you say "amounts" do you mean both quantities and distant?

*distance

Yea, the same construction is weird in pretty much every germanic language. "Det er/är" in norwegian, danish, swedish literally means "it is", "er zijn" (i think?) in dutch, means "there are" (roughly). The funny thing is that "da sind" (there are) is grammatical too, but "there" in this phrase is very literal, so it semantically implies "that/those which is/are over there is..."

In Danish it’s der er
