Jordanon has 42 minutes left to start learning a language or he will be sent to muslim hell for lying about starting on July 1
fuck all of you retards
He shoul just learn Chinese
Getting ready to answer all of Jordie's upcoming questions.
>>199235211No he should learn Korean
>>199235687He should just learn turkish
Do these work? I sleep a lot, am I missing out by not playing these videos while I sleep? I could have become a polyglot if I knew about these earlier and played one every night
>>199235715He should learn Welsh
What language should I learn if I stay in jail (not spanish)?Probably could learn like Tibetan and be a cement cell monk or sth
>>199235743They work incredibly well as white noise. Not for anything else.
How does anyone learn a language inbetween waging and 6 hour gooning sessions?
What's the best way to learn Scottish accent/dialect? I kinda want to learn it just to fuck with my friends.
>>199236248don't learn it, that's racist
>>199236220One does it by not being a coomer
>>199236676Impossible.
>>199236537Shut up and just give me advice, you stupid ass Catalan
>>199236676Gooning is about not cumming though
Why does no one here actually know anything about Anki? You praise Anki every day but you can't answer the most basic questions about it. Ignored for days after multiple posts of different questions. As anyone here actually learning a language? Or just talking about learning languages?
*Is anyone
>>199237844And your question is?
>>1992379621. Adding and playing pre-added audio on AnkiDroid2. Making flashcards in different sets spaced out longer or shorter, as decks are categorized by rarity3. If you have any idea of how this can be organized more effectively; currently ranked by exact appearances on Context Reverso
>>199237271So it's even more retarded, why would someone waist time like that. If you're doing that, explain to me the reasoning behind it.
>>199238108I just make and review flashcards on anki
damn extra german annie is a babe compared to the other dog faced women>>199236220watch porn in TL obviously do you even inpoot bro
>>199238108because this isn't anki software supportwhen you've got questions about language learning then please post them
>>199238348>when you've got questions about language learningRight, /lang/ can only understand the same 3 questions. They have to be very vague and basic because none of you are actually experienced in learning.
>>199238421then leave
>>199238149Because you want to edge to BBC for hours or someting
>>199238108Idk, I just goon the top 1-5k words based on the official freq dictionary and then move on from it.>1Use a real desktop computer. Stop pretending you're "studying" in line at McDonalds lol>2Pretty sure you can make a different Preset for each deck and customize scheduling that way. But again, use a real fucking computer not your Candy Crash station.>3I guess you want to see the "rare" words more frequently in your reviews or something to that effect? I don't know, you're overcomplicating shit. If these words are mined, just stick them all in one deck and review them normally. It doesn't matter if a word is rare or common, all that matters is do you remember it or not, and the SRS schedules the next review based on that.
The newfag cancer is telling me to leave. Very probably the visajeet who was asking about learning Polish days ago just upsetti about some raycisms.
>>199238530I'm above the top 5k words. I know them all. Words have to be mined. Most of the words I don't know fall under the rare category. I would consider the more common words to be higher priority.Also it is more convenient on mobile much of the time because I actually have a job and go outside. For instance, I am reviewing flashcards during our lunch period.
czy ten "visajeet" jest teraz z nami w pokoju?
>>199238847There are 2 self-admitted visajeet posters under a Polish flag on /int/.
people who make true a1 input content on youtube have a special place in heaven. I never found a good one for English though. I imagine it has something to do with monolingual teachers not understanding how basic A1 really is. Ivan tells you about a kitty and a doggie walking and running. Karen goes into workplace intrigue using past perfect and scientific jargon. idk maybe knowing the language is poisoning me perception of beginner content.
AAAHHH I CAN'T LEAVE THE B1 PLATEAU IM SUCH A FUCKING DIMWIT
Just had my first italki lesson with a Tagalog tutor. Considering half of the lesson was spend fucking around trying to get Skype to use my microphone, it went pretty well. Wound up having to do it on my phone. Fuck skype, I thought italki used to have Zoom?
>>199238530are you really dedicated to your TL if you're not constantly gooning anki decks for it on the shitter and on the bus?>>199236248watch Limmy and other scottish content creatorsmaybe learn IPA and learn the phonology like a nerd so you know the rules about what sounds go where and what's allowed and what isn't
>>199239383It depends on the teacher. I think zoom became less common when they introduced the 40 minute call limit for free accounts. You can ask the teacher if they have other apps to try if skype doesn't work. You can try the inbuilt classroom as a last resort
>>199236220Visual novels. I can't find it, but someone learned japanese from porn.
>>199238985That's interestingI always assumed the comprehensible input field for English for oversaturated Maybe I could make A1 content for weirdos
>>199240144I had a stroke when writing this*was oversaturated
either answer genuinely or fuck off, what language is worth learning, objectively?
I'm learning WelshI'm mostly using Say Something in WelshAre any apps actually worth using for when I'm on the train etc. I assume they're all shit like duolingo
>>199240144never found a decent one. This one was in the input wiki, in a super beginner playlisthttps://youtu.be/iCye6vPh7mM?t=139
>>199240282Chinese
>>199240282thishttps://youtu.be/a-KJoU6OBTc?t=8
>>199240282english
>>199240298Do you want to read the Mabinogion?>>199240391Yeah this doesn't seem to be any goodWould a super beginner get confused when she said 'there were tons of them'?She has to mime climbing and eating yet I feel like the student she's making videos for would already know that lmao
>>199240886yes, also at first, could hardly see (an a1 wouldn't understand a simple "couldn't" and maybe even "see"), all over (everywhere would be better), she just says rash and never explains what it is, she would, sweep away. At that level you should be talking in first person and in the present or at most simple past, and explore/explain every other word, especially basic verbs. Every other english compresensible input channel I found is like that, they tell a story which is simple for a 7 year old but the audience has the vocabulary of a 2 year old.
>>199240087I only know about a guy who learned Japanese through anime and manga and apparently he sounds like a native.I tried watching and playing vidya to learn but it didn't help much and it was annoying so I quit.
Are Brazilians more friendly and outgoing than Hispanics? Will I be more likely to make frens if I put portugese as my TL on hellotalk?
>>199240282either learn a language (for real) or fuck off
>>199238621You could learn 10 words per day from your common deck and 1 word per day from your rare deck, or some other ratio you think is appropriate. That way you're prioritizing common words. You don't need to mess with the review scheduling IMO, just control how many new cards enter the review cycle. There's also the Easy and Hard buttons when you think you need less or more reps than average for a particular word.>>199239491>are you really dedicated to your TL if you're not constantly gooning anki decks for it on the shitter and on the bus?The quality of your study time is determined by your attention. If you're just blitzing through your reviews and only half paying attention while your co-worker is yapping about some bullshit in the lunch room, you're just wasting your time. Better to wait to get home or wake up early and take it seriously.
>listening to dreaming spanish>accidentally doze off for an hour while playlist keeps playing>wake up>not fluentwtf
>>199241618>or wake up earlyI wake up at 4:30 am for work. any earlier and it would be "up late" and not early

>There are about 10000 swear words in russian (including all derivatives).Damn, that could make a great Anki deck.
>>199243154>>There are about 10000 swear words in russian (including all derivatives).All derivatives of suka and blyat
I wonder what should I pick after Spanish.Maybe Russian since I know some of it already. But French or German would be cool too.
>>199243852And "a few" other ones.cyкa, блин, блять, блядь, хyй, нaхyя, пoхyй, хpeн, хyли, пиздeц, кaпeц, дepьмo, eбaть, дypaк, лaпyх, oлeнь, идиoт, дeбил.I know the most popular ones I believe. My favorite is дeбил (moron, retard).
>>199244174Be aware that some of these are very explicit (хyй, пиздeц), while others are just mild euphemisms (блин, кaпeц).
Make an image like this for you TL or NL
>>199244053What do you want to do with Russian, French or German?
>>199244281I randomly wrote what I know.But don't worry, I've also learned their usage and how strong they are, so if I get myself in Russia somehow I won't get punched in face for choosing the wrong word.

>>199252550
>>199252302So the answer is no, then.It's over...
>>199252302Download French for Reading by Karl SandbergTry to do chapter 1+2 today
>>199252550Here's some killer advice for you, free of charge. You're welcome!!
>>199236248First learn English and then while speaking it act like a complete retard
>>199239226After B1 the usual suggestion is to start consuming content for natives but the problem with that is that it isn’t made for language learning so progress grinds to a halt. You become very good at talking about dragon ball or something like that and nothing else.
>>199252302I told you dude, German is the most useful one if you want to move to Europe and work a white collar jobI speak French and it's a total waste, the only francophone places with tech jobs for me are some combination of overpriced, shitholes, or have shitty pay (Paris, Nice, Geneva, Toulouse, etc.). Germany/Austria/Switzerland has all the jobs and shit.Italy and France have very nice smaller towns/villages to be a blue collar worker in tho, but I doubt you'd get visa sponsorship making kebabsMedia/literature/art/whatever will be slightly different between all the languages but pretentious euros tend to make pretty similar stuff. Normie euros also tend to consume/create pretty similar mindless content too, a lot of their shows are direct copies of each other, just changing the setting/language but keeping the same format/premise
>>199240282> either answer genuinely or fuck off, what language is worth learning, objectively?English. The only things that haven’t been translated into English are political propaganda by America’s sworn enemies. You ARE loyal to America, right Anon?
>>199253254>>199239226I was stuck there for awhilethe breakthrough for me was getting an italki tutor and talking to her every week for several monthssomehow things just clicked at one point and I didn't have to think about what to say or what she was saying. Once you have that then it's a lot easier, but you'll still have to get used to understanding people who aren't teachers
>>199244359As recently as 20 years ago if you were doing a Mathematics PhD then you were expected to get a rudimentary understanding of one of these languages. It wasn’t a particular hard test as I understand it. You would have a page from a technical article, a interlingual dictionary, and a few hours to a day to translate it. I started my own PhD program just a year after it was entirely phased out. Which is too bad since it is the whole reason I studied French in college (that and there was a foreign language requirement, without the math PhD language exam though I would have chosen Italian instead)
>>199244649>>199244671I can’t believe there’s N Esperanto short film but not a Latin short film
>>199245967>>199246060If you’re going to learn old Norse you could unironically check out Tolkien’s languages. Yeah I guess that’s a meme but the script is awesome
How do you sayPRISTINEin your TL?
>>199253641I don't know how to say it in German.
>>199252175currently there are Euros taking place in Germany that probably affect us tooat least I am usually watching the games and not posting here or learning languages right now. final is in two weeks time.
>>199253539I'm a huge Tolkien fan but haven't really looked into his languages besides the Ring inscription Anyway I'm a big fan of Old Norse because there's so much written in it that I want to read in the original language>>199253467I studied French using a textbook which was made explicitly for that purposeIt kind of makes me sad that English is the only language you really need for academia although it seems in the humanities it lasted a tiny bit longer
>>199241491Fuck no. They are all nazi chuds that vote for Bolsonaro. Specially in the south.
>>199241491To add to what the poster above said. It depends. I would extremely recommend for you to not socialize with south Brazilians. (Brazilians from the states of Sao Paulo, Parana, Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina) They tend to be white nationalists (their families are, no exception, 100% all nazi criminals).
>>199254599>nazi criminals>fought for the working man against foreign occupiers and their capitalist minions>introduce first nationalized healthcare system >introduce first government pensions for non-soldiers>>american heros>nuke civilian cities, twice>mass rapings>palestinian genocide >use russians as canonfodder >establish New World Order between two fake puppets of same global hegemonization missionSao Paolo sounds awesome
>>199254928You forgot a few.>Betrayed Poland by not invading Germany immediately>Betrayed Poland again by not declaring war on the Soviet Union>Betrayed Eastern Europe by just handing it over to Stalin, something Eastern Europe has still not recovered from>Betrayed its colonial subjects by using its troops as cannon fodder and causing famines in colonial territories>Was about to wage bio-warfare on GermanyThe Allies did all that without even hearing anything about the Holocaust. They were the true devil of WW2 together with the Soviets.
>>199255238The Americans and the Soviets were twosides of the same coin, that’s why they never fought each other and even paused their fake opposition to unite against the only actual opposition
Do you only study/review anki deck once a day as it is recommended?
>>199255993usually yes; don't have that much time.but I set the first re-occurence of a card to 24 hours instead of standard 1 hour. this way you can study more if you want, but you won't be annoyed by the same cards.but I wouldn't say this is better or worse, just preference. 1 hour makes sense too; this way you'll see if it only got into short-term memory. I just don't like it.
has jordie actually been here not learning a language for 3 years?
>>199256682>for 3 yearsAlmost 5 by this point.
>>199256759Lmao he could have been almost fluent in one by now just by half assing it and at least doing something
>>199256759and he didn't even learn englishsad!
>>199257271>>199257301he is perfecting his American accent
>>199257328But that Brazilian anon destroyed himhttps://desuarchive.org/int/thread/198989064/#199030030He should just focus on perfecting his english and then learn German, yeah???
>>199257722I am still coping with the thought that he in fact speaks 6 languages and just trolls us.
>>199257807Didn't Brazil anon say he speaks fluent German, Italian and Japanese? I think he even posted a picture
>>199257882I meant Jordie.
>>199257807That would be respectable.An accomplished language learner acting as the indecisive guy who can't get started to save his life, and making funny posts for our entertianment and keeping the threads alive.But I'm sure of the reality that he's just an autist.
>Challenge:Write a short story (a few sentences) in your target language (or native language or English).>Topic: Jordie the Jordanian indecisive ADHD sufferer is in reality a polyglot who knows 6 languages. see these posts: >>199257807>>199258595

Walked past some chinese guy yesterday and he said to his friend something like 外人dou fu or 外人doufu. Any Chinese elitists know what he meant by this?

>>199265327>Gonna make my final decision in 30 mins.Well?
>>199236220I have gotten a few hours of input in when I'm cooming, I either throw on a podcast or an audiobook or something. There's tons of purely audio materials out there. You have to have a certain level already but it clearly does help my language.Generally though it's a tradeoff, if I'm learning my language I can't be listening to music at the same time, unless the music is in my TL but that's a whole new matter.>>199241293Many people actually end up overestimating how many hours they play video games for, I mean maybe I could fall into some video game for a few hours a day but how long do I spend reading in that video game? Not too long. If all the audio for it was also in spanish I could see it being decent practice but just operating a menu in a TL and reading 10 minutes of dialogue every hour will do nothing unless you're playing the game for 50 hours minimum.
I love using old TV shows to learn languages. There is something so SOVL about low-budget and old productions. Exhibit A:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eea1tX7oWeU

>>199259582>challengeQualche settimane fa io sono andato ad una società scacchistica perché mi piace giocare scacchi online e volevo incontrare qualcuno di nuovo. Perché io ero nuovo io era timido, ma un uomo gentile la mi ha invitato a giocare scacchi colui. È stato lento e piacevole, non abbiamo giocato con l’orologio o qualsiasi cosa così, solo che abbiamo parlato del gioco. Più che altro mi ha fatto consigli del gioco. Poi la conversazione è andato in giro, parlando dei matematica (mia studia) e varie altre cose così. A la fine mi ha detto che dobbiamo smettere ilgioco perché lui ha avuto già vinto più di un ora prima e solo voleva continuare l discussione. Alle fine ho capito che infatti lui è in CMo, che è un titolo alto nel mondo dei scacchi che ci sono solo 5000 CMo nel mondo. E allora io non tornerò più finché mi miglioro giocare a scacchi.
>>199280078Some self criticisms:Della matematica, non dei matematica. Wtf was I thinking?La discussione, not l discussione, pretty sure this was a phone autocorrect thing.Io ero timido, not io era timido. Likely my phone autocorrecting to English “era”,
