/lang/ – Language Learning General (embed)

I'm learning Spanish and it's very helpful that I had two years of it in middle school and another two years in high school. I do pimsleur during my commute and then some of a workbook I got on Amazon every day or two. I make flashcards out of the vocabulary using Anki, but that's currently tedious since I haven't done a full tutorial on how to use the Anki software.
I'm still going through the basics since the public school system didn't teach me much in the way of conversation and I just started a week ago. It would really help if I had a proper college textbook to read through and supplement the workbook.

>Been trying to figure out the difference between Ш and Щ forever
>Finally find mouth diagrams on Youtube and the former is just a palatalized version of the latter
ok then

Wait I may be dumb, wouldn't this mean Шь word endings = Щ

Nevermind Ш is always hard regardless of a soft sign. Christ this language is dumb

This is hard :^(
I am taking notes as i go through the work book "talk to me in korean" online and through their audio lessons, and every page I can fit 25 different words on with the English on the left, and the Hangul on the right.

Apparently after 250 words you start to become a beginner in a language, so 10 pages to go :^(

You've got this!

What is an aussie doing in Korea?
Teaching job, family?

teaching job, i spent 18 months there, left , and realised that I like living in Korea a lot, so i'm going back there. long term plans involve opening my own business

Oh right, I now recall seeing you here before.
You'll make it, the constant immersion in tandem with good study resources and motivation.
Good luck, I too have been studying korean, but it's the immersion I am lacking to really make it.

When talking about someone's age, what do you normally use? I have seen it in two different contexts:
>38 лeт
>24 гoдa
What's the difference?

>Apparently after 250 words you start to become a beginner in a language

Pretty sure you start to be a beginner when you begin

"Гoд" after numerals follows the same pattern as any other noun except its genitive plural form "гoдoв" is substituted with the genitive plural form of the word "лeтo".

God why are you such a whiney piece or shit in every single thread

Not him but can you tell me if there's any sort of rule regarding how adjective endings are pronounced? I find a lot of times they're nothing like how they're written

Oh, that's pretty complicated. This will take some getting used to.

Also I find aя, яя, and oe endings especially confusing

You are familiar with the concept of vowel reduction in Russian, right?

It's not really about adjectives. Any /j/ between two vowels is silent unless the second vowel is stressed.

Yes
That actually explains part of it, but even so the яя/aя doesn't sound like a reduced a when not stressed

안녕하세요
물이에요

you attach 이다 to its noun

What do they sound like then? Your non-biased ears are more trustworthy than native speaker's at this point. I can only assume that the endings you mentioned are pronounced like [ə:] when they're unstressed, and something in the lines of [aæ]/[æ:]/[oɘ] when their first vowel is under the accent.

I-i just want to understand why Mädchen is neuter

I've never done it so I don't know if it works but the option is in -> My Terms (Words and Expressions) then in either the ALL/Marked terms option list, scroll all the way down till you find export to Anki

It's because Madchen is a diminutive and diminutives are ALWAYS neuter.

Before you ask, a diminutive is a word with a suffix(often -chen or -lein) that denotes that it's small. For example: der Vogel - das Vögelchen, which you would more or less translate as the bird - the small bird

(I don't speak German but i'm 99% sure that it's exactly the same reason in Dutch ang German)

Where did you fail?

I realized I prefer Estonian

Failed Estonian too?

Just started. Moving to Estonia next year for work.

"Das Mädchen" comes long ago from "das Mägdchen" (little maiden) which is the diminutive of "die Magd" (which now mostly means just maid, but in the ~15th-17th century when this was in use meant young woman or maiden, unmarried and virgin). It became adopted as the word for girl, even though it is technically a diminutive and therefore neutral.
Hopefully this makes sense and somewhat answers your question.

I'm not the other American user, but I am learning atm. I really like it, even though it's certainly not easy :p

This means I don't hear myself well today. You should say ne osjećam se.

Did you not correct the rest because either A) Everything else was correct, B) You can't be bothered or C) i'm hopeless?

How do you know German so well?

I'm sure a native would have many things to correct.
I work it nearly daily, watch german TV and jump on every occasion I have to read german or speak with natives.

N*, all names are capitalized in Scandi langs (same applies to the other sentences).

Below is what I hear 2bh

>Jeg har bare deg og Kristina
Jeg har bare deg och Kristin, jeg
I'm merely guessing the last word here, but it forms a natural sentence and it sounds like what he says, so...

>In borg, delte jeg sengen min med en kvinne, Inga of Varteig
I Borg delte jeg en seng med en kvinne, Inga fra Varteig

>Birkebeinerne i Öst-Norge forer ham nordover
Birkebeinerne på Östlandet förer ham norover

>Möt med en hær i österdalen
Möt dem med en hær i Österdalen
basically you only missed a word here

The Ö in the Norwegian sentences are slashed Os obv, can't be rendered on Jow Forums.

I've learned four others at least to a speaking ability and nothing was like this, at least even English doesn't even bother trying to have rules

Ohhh, I remember now. I was confused with capitalization, because names of languages are not capitalized in Norwegian.

so I thought Scandinavians didn't like to capitalize anything.

>I was confused with capitalization, because names of languages are not capitalized in Norwegian.
Yeah, English capitalizes alot of things we don't, so I can see that confusion. But names of people, places and brands are always capitalized.

What's the best way to determining whether you're dealing with a demonstrative pronoun or adjective? I keep getting them mixed up and Italian demands that "that"/"quello" is irregular when it's a demonstrative adjective so I need to be able to identify them.

Any good alternative to the einfach Nachrichten App?

yea no that's fine, i'll find a way. the names alone are good enough if you could do that. thanks a lot.

Is the galician accent as nassal and sad as people say?
