Svenska är ett hanrejspråk Och det ju inte låter bra För att vara ärlig, jag bara studerade det för att norska är inte sådär lätt
Vad har det för fel på att vara brasiliansk?
William Perez
Just imagine yourself learning Russian, yes russian, that fucking disgusting, nasty, putrid language, fucking inserting it into your brain. Having that goblin speak incripted inside your memory. Now imagine people doing that deliberately to themselves.What has this world come to?

I don't know shit of Latvian. I said Livonian Maybe you quoted me by mistake?

to defeat goblins you must think like goblin Im sorry, I respect him more knowing hes learning Cherokee than I would initially as I thought he was learning igbo.
Matthew Nguyen
It's Livonian, Latvian doesn't have "ǟ"
Hudson Watson
I'm assuming you're the one also shitting on Swedish. If you think either of those sound bad but think Portuguese sounds okay you might have brain damage
I was translating the livonian into latvian, have you ever seen livonian written I do have maybe a resource or two for you if you'd like? Ullõ borātõb piţki (outside there is thunderstorm or something along the lines of that)
Camden Barnes
Also I see an overwhelming amount of shit like from your flag (and Argentina)

Ok, so I did this in Latin last time. Now Ancient Greek:
τὴν ἐξέτασιν διηπράξας εὐτυχῶς. μαθήσεως kαθ᾽ ἕkαστης ἐλλείπω. ἕδρᾱ kενὰ ἤστην. (dual number, woooaaa) δωμάτιον συστάσει ἡμῶν μισθοῦσθαι χρή ἥμας. Θομας μιkρὸν μέρος πλαkοῦ ἔλαβεν. (don't know 'pie', so I used 'cake')
kαὶ τὰ λοιπά... I can't be bothered.
Jace Scott
Which videogames are perfect in a language? For example, I saw an Italian edition of Final Fantasy: War of the Lions and just realized how perfectly all the Ivalice games fit with the Italian language. The aesthetics are just perfect.
I think these fit: Final Fantasy 12 - Italian Assassin's Creed - Italian Legend of Zelda - Russian Starcraft - Korean
I use foreign edition of video games to practice languages sometimes, but its usually Pokemon. I'm playing through a Spanish version of Yellow rn
Norwegian sounds much better tbqh Swedish sounds too pompous and ridiculous
Thanks, buddy!
Cooper Jones
Don't start with that shit here I'll agree with Norwegian sounding better but I chose Swedish as a third language since it has twice the amount of speakers as Norway and is way less expensive if I manage to move there (one of my top choices if I get out of the US)
Christian Ward
Man a lot of people here complain about some discord killing the thread but there are a whole lot of you who shit on people's choices in target languages. It seems like that, more than anything else, is killing threads early. The less we have of it the longer the threads live, with or without a discord post.

Logan Carter

>These languages are known to be exceptionally hard for English speakers to learn, and one of the factors that contributes to this are their completely different writing systems. Five languages are found in Category 4: Arabic (all varieties), Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, and Mandarin. In order to reach proficiency in these languages, FSI students required at least 88 weeks and 2,200 class hours of study in general PLUS a second year of study in the foreign country. My parents could have enrolled me in a language program when I was an adolescent but no they were just gonna let me waste 10,000 hours of my life on the videogames. In time playing Mount and Blade, CSGO, and Dark Souls, I could have mastered many dialects of Arabic, or multiple Romance Languages
I was just fucking with him with that Swedish thing I actually speak it myself and didn't intend to put him off desu
1/64 Cherokee girls, you mean?
Yeah, that was one of my reasons for choosing Swedish over Norwegian. Also because I'm lazy and it has only 2 genders, while Norwegian has 3
Aiden Bailey
No, not him. Just saying I haven't seen anything about discord circlejerking but a lot of people in this thread shit on every other poster for picking a language that isn't Russian, Spanish, Japanese or Chinese.
Josiah Diaz

Trying to quell the discord circlejerking before it starts, I've watched enough generals from other boards die to it. I've seen multiple people in here say the discord was garbage anyway
Justin Cox
bruh he asked a question lmao if you get mad when people ask other people questions then head to r/language learning
Not the reservation girls ;)
learning anything that isn’t spanish in america is a waste of time
Except when you'll get burnt out due to never using it. While some people legitimately are interested in dead/small languages, the majority of people who start them due so out of novelty and it wears off fast
to be taught it as a kid like his post mentioned yeah, since kids are natural learners and will learn anything you teach them
Joshua White
if you learn anything, or even have a modicum of willpower, learning a language is not hard, actually very easy, considering how little classroom hours are needed compared to our native tongue, to be understood.
I took 5 years of french and I barely speak with a 3 year olds proficiency, not even, but it has made learning other shit MUCH easier.
Leo Jones
Yep, that one Good shit
Tyler Bailey
The discord is the one making the thread 9/10 times and posting translation challenges. If nothing else they're keeping it alive. Wouldn't you agree that people like are way more of a detriment to the thread than anything else? The discord people aren't shilling it at all and you keep complaining about it ruining the thread, meanwhile, you get asshats sitting in the thread just shitposting about a language because it isn't spoken outside of a single country. I don't know if the discord will be a problem but right now it clearly isn't.

David Morales
It's one guy posting the translation challenges and I'm the one who does it when he doesn't, and any idiot can make the thread. If you're just going to get triggered and derail the thread kindly leave
Kevin Russell
He's a detriment just because he's learning an irrelevant language?
can anyone point me in the way of a decent AUSLAN or JSL textbook? the ones in the OP are pretty dense
Jace Green
Those translation challenges are the only time of the day when I actually practice my Japanese Japs are so dull and hard to have a nice conversation with. Honestly I think I just haven't given up on Japanese entirely because I'm already too deep in this pile of shit
Jaxson Jackson
Not what I was saying, I mean the guy complaining about someone learning an irrelevant language is the detriment. Assuming is also you, がんばろう

My point was more that discords quickly stop being about the subject and just flood generals with garbage. Anyway the challenges are probably the only thing saving the thread at this point so good work with that
