Hi! It's nice to meet you.
Lovely weather we're having!
How have you been?
What part of England are you from?
On weekend I like to go bowling, fishing and ice-skating.
I'm doing nothing at the moment.
What time did you wake up this morning?

It rained earlier so I think I'm gonna stay in today.
Did you hear about that story in the news yesterday?
I'm going to go now, so I will talk to you tomorrow!
Are you still going to go to that restaurant tomorrow, the one you mentioned earlier?
Now that you've said that, I don't think I want to go anymore.


> no one texts anything more complicated than this

oh okay, i was thinking of maybe learning english in order to learn german? I've heard English is quite difficult though so maybe i'll just go straight for german

Learning plattdeutsch to learn sumpfdeutsch ("Dutch") would seem logical.

Same with Swiss German and Hebrew.

How do I find out what kind of Spanish accent I have when I try to speak it? I get the feeling it is probably Mexican since that's what my teachers were and what I hear the most but I don't know.

if you have an accent you can't exceed B2

post a clip of you on vocaroo over at /spic/ and ask them. Odds are mexican accent if that is what your teacher has.

If you subvocalize you can't exceed C2

are there any good digital Finnish dictionaries

American accents are kawaii

Is it a bad idea to start learning another language alongside studying Japanese? I've been learning jap for about a year and am considering picking up Finnish or Russian as well. I think that these languages are dissimilar enough that there's low chance of getting the different language rules mixed up in my head or whatever, but I'm a little wary of taking on two of the more difficult languages for English speakers at the same time.

check out lucas video on youtube from channel polyglot dream, on his advice on learning two at the same time

Okay am beginner and I've never done one of these before in German so I'm sure these are all wrong. no bully bitte

Spanish is pretty much the only language I know well that I don't speak with a particular accent.

Yeah, that's true, I was bored and was checking out duolingo, I don't remember exactly why I picked danish desu, but it was not difficult at all, and I learned some basic danish for real, I went on 2017 to Denmark and I could understand almost everything and also could communicate with danish people.

Any plans for Norway or Swedistan?

I have the grammar book though. It may be a little outdated, as it was written in the late 70s/early 80s

Wow u must be really smart from becoming almost fluent just on duolingo

This serb's german is probably the best ive seen on 4 chan , very nice

I have some questions about learning new words.
About English: I've been learning English almost since elementary school, I seldom see a new word in the news or in something else that is for the commoner, however when I try to read any sophisticated works of fiction I see a lot of words which seem to be hapaxes. It feels like for any English adjective there are at least ten synonyms of French or Latin origin. How does one acquire knowledge of them, if you barely encounter them a couple of times in your whole life? Do you just brute force it in Anki, hoping that it will enter not only your passive vocabulary but active too? How does a native speaker do it?
About French: how does one remember the gender of a new word? There are no relations to gender of the word in your language and the shape of the word rarely tell which gender it has. Do you bruteforce it in Anki too?

Herro

hi, user. what language are you studying?

obviously chinese, what else?

absolutely not for making friends here

>chinese
what's the appeal though? why no french, german, russian, etc?

I love realizing that I can listen to French radio and understand 80-90% of what they're saying now

>german
they speak english anyway. Complete waste of time

>french
too easy, and I don't want to talk to a bunch of arabs and africans

>russian
most of russia will be speaking chinese in 50 years anyway

What are some good TV shows I can watch in French that'll help with natural language acquisition? Something relatively easy to comprehend without English subtitles, but not completely boring either

>I don't want to talk to a bunch of arabs and africans
Most media in French is from France AFAIK. The overwhelming majority of literature in French is from France as well. Françafricains are numerous but don't have as much of a mark on French internet or media, from what I've seen.
I started studying in 7th grade but started getting more into it in high school. I read about grammar and the different tense-aspect-mood combinations bit by bit over time, then I started reading books and short stories in French to get a feel for the style and syntax of the language. I eventually worked my way up to watching French videos with subtitles, then without subtitles.

For news and some general culture I watch France24's stream on YouTube. I wouldn't know many French TV shows though.

That looks like a pretty good one, just subscribed

>Complete waste of time
absolutely. learning anything other than English is lol

Goodnight, Sweden ;p

.

listening comprehension is a struggle

How does one read (and type) Unicode characters from obscure meme languages like Avestan and Chakma?

At least in Canada, all movies come with a french dub/sub option on movies. What I do is put it in french dub with french subtitles and it's pretty GOAT for language acquisition. Just dub can be hard to follow

Which language?

I think some meme languages are covered, like Gothic.

You can also watch ARTE.You have to download their app if there is a region lock just download a VPN their documentary are in French and there are subtitles, their most recent documentary is on XI Jinping. They also have a well made news network.

French movies :
I know mostly old stuff, recent French movies don't seem very good.
Belmondo's movies are usually good action movies, I would recommend Le profesionnel and Le magnifique to start :
youtube.com/watch?v=OA67o29fnGk (A spy get sold by his government and decide to comeback to get his revenge)
youtube.com/watch?v=cly4X01y3Yk (A loser writes Erotic action novel for girls but he is so tired of how cheesy it is and decides to ruin it)

Louis de Funès is considered comedy pic in France but he can be very bad I only recommend Rabbit Jacob and Oscar :
youtube.com/watch?v=wLwHaK86DsM (Jow Forums has to pretend he is jewish or else he get killed, mostly funny cause you can't do many of these jokes nowadays)
youtube.com/watch?v=GVMwIawdN9E (Quiproquo the movie, usually it's such a tired cliché but this movie does it so well that it works)

Stand up comedy :

TV series :

Kaamelott with Palmashow is the most funny thing on tv these recent years, the subtitles are absolute garbage.

French literature :
Would need it's own thread. Can still provide stuff if you need.

Recent good French movie :
Jean dujardin's movies are usually good :
youtube.com/watch?v=2S9Z901FL0k (''dude capitalism'' the message of the movie is old and edgy but it's very well made and full of good ideas)
youtube.com/watch?v=dw0tlOdn5Mc (Same actor, makes fun of the James bond and French smugness archetype)
youtube.com/watch?v=AELNPQcR6lE (Typical copVSmafia movie, forgettable but well made)

Old French musique :
Aznavour, nicknamed the French sinatra, good lyrics and good voice :
youtube.com/watch?v=hWLc0J52b2I
youtube.com/watch?v=yILg7NTUfCQ

Stromae catchy, okay lyrics :
youtube.com/watch?v=oiKj0Z_Xnjc

Brassens, largely inaccessible to non French speakers because he is more a comic-poet than a singer, the best of French writting but hard to understand even for a French, mostly talks about sex, his most famous song is about a guy getting fucked by a gorilla :
youtube.com/watch?v=2W6HM0CCiRs

Brel, more musical, good lyrics :

French techno :

Renaud, far left singer very engaged lyrics but has some good words and catchy music (for French songs) :
