Not much. In a few months you'll be able to read and write very well.

germans won't speak to you in german anyway, so why bother?

Out of curiosity, how's Portuguese? I already know quite a bit of Spanish already.

Hows the situation in other German speaking countries?

I dont think any of the European languages that share the same alphabet are particularly difficult.
Just a different sentence structure, Accents and Masculine or feminine depending on the language.

Surprisingly hard, the FSI lists it as only slightly less difficult than learning Russian.

it starts of fairly easy especially since you can recognise some nouns and verb conjugations aren't latin tier

There's no way German is only slightly less difficult than Russian. Russian looks very difficult

Here you go, courtesy of Uncle Sam. It takes an extra 200 hours to Russian compared to German, which really isn't that much for language learning.

Lies, going to take 2-3 years at least.

I know decent German, I can have basic conversations and read a fair bit. I was able to play through Pokemon in German, but I had to look up words every couple minutes or so. It's pretty similar to English, the sentence structure is pretty much the same, with a couple differences.

Was geht ab, mein Neger?

It's not that hard for an English speaker. It's not the easiest European language but a lot of the vocabulary is shared with English and the sentence structure is fairly similar except for verbs going last. The main difference in grammar is noun declension, it can be a bit to wrap your head around and it's often used to structure sentences too.

If i'm pronouncing this correctly, i'd say this sounds like "what is up, my nigga"

I think that list overrates German's difficulty, it should be somewhere between the first and second tiers. It's a bit harder than the easiest languages but it's in no way comparable to Russian. Russian is fucking hard.

Man musst selbst probieren.
Fande ich einfach.

Not him, but if you speak Spanish it's really easy. There are some bs rules hard to pick up with but these aren't even worth learning if you're not a writer or something. If you decide to go for Portuguese let me know so I can answer your questions

Ich habe Deutschklasse seit einem Jahre, ist es schwer gehabt.
Aber, will ich lernen. Es ist spass manchmal.

aww this is why i like Jow Forums
not the same guy btw

Same guy here. I plan to learn Portuguese eventually regardless. I heard it sounds like spanish with a russian accent, as well as the existence of false friend words.

Germans will speak to you in German. If you go outside of tourist areas, any city, you must know German. Also, English and German are both germanic languages and six months would make you capable of understanding people, reading, and speaking well enough. That's 180 days, ~5 hours of studying each day; studying the grammar, listening, writing, and speaking. If you did that, you could go to rural Germany and not be overwhelmed. If you are some NEET loser with all of your time to do anything, if you fully immersed yourself in German then you'd know a whole lot by 6 months, not speaking or reading or hearing English.

teehee is the least I can do for years of help with English from American posters

Yes, there are some words with misleading spellings, but these are the exception and knowing the common ones should be enough. I think the Russian comparison works better with European Portuguese, I myself like their accent better. honestly there are not many motivations to learn Portuguese, but it's so easy to do so I don't have a reason to discourage you

Not him but my reasons are that I wanted to learn a second language anyways, the german speaking countries are the only place I'd rather move to outside of english speaking countries (dont plan on moving, but backup plan), and to shitpost on /deutsch/. Also was born in Germany (Wurzburg) to a G*rman mother that didnt teach me shit growing up

Because it's mostly a useless language you never need for anything so you quickly forget what you learned.

Is duolingo any good for learning new languages?

Ive never seriously used it but from what Ive heard it is alright for beginner vocab, grammar, and speaking/listening, but completing the whole thing will only put you at about A2-B1 level. Would best be used as a side tool or just beginner step into the language

Besides some cognates and the Latin alphabet the languages are not as simple as some would have you believe. 3 genders, 4 cases, V2 word order, modal particles, split verbs, declensions, etc.

It's a tough language and is rightly positioned near Russian in terms of difficulty. Though, to be clear, Russian is unquestionably more difficult.

Also go to /lang/ and the wiki for resources if you want to start learning something, good luck

Probably easy since both German and English are Germanic

Did you learn portuguese spain bro?

and french and spanish is just itaian

das stimmt nicht

>mentions scientific papers
wishful thinking
they're all in English

it's really fucking easy, it's a level 1 or 2 language, that's out of five
