Russian is the SECOND most spoken language in the world. Why haven't you learned it yet?
It's as commonly used as ALL Romance languages combined.
the real question is how is turkish so widely spoken
>>200267051And Persian too, honestly. I saw some different stats where these are not that common but Russian is still the second.
So? Пoчeмy?
Did you know Russian is REQUIRED to be learned by every astronaut?
Did you know two thirds of all Slavic speakers speak Russian?
Hey give some fucking attention to my language you fucks.
>>200267073Iran is a big country, and I think they block most Western websites, so it's not surprising that they have their own websites where they use Persian.
>>200267500I thought they had no Internet altogether.
>>200267032I just want to say, I don't feel particularly bad about Russian war against Ukraine because Ukrainians were some of the most enthusiastic nazi collaborators back in the day. They killed thousands of Poles and Jews in extremely savage ways, worse than the Nazis themselves even
>>200267523Did you know "Ukrainian" is not a real language but a rural southern Russian dialect mixed with Polish?
>>200267520They shut it down during the protests but I think normally they have domestic websites.
>>200267565Yes yes likely. Then Turkish is really strange.

>>200268194You don't really have to "learn" French as a Spanish (mutilated though) speaker, it's the same Vulgar Latin language just with different pronunciation. I haven't even started to learn Italian but I grasp like half of words because I know some (very little actually) Latin.>network opportunitiesDefine "network opportunities" first.

>>200268318China is going to collapse soon anon.
>>200268239yeah, the only reason im considering french is because its easy for me as aromance speaker but also because of switzerlandfrance is a country i dislike a lot>Define "network opportunities" firsti mean if learning russian will provide interesting possible business ventures in russia, meeting interesting people, doing entrepreneurships etci have asked russian anons how feasible is to move to russia, is russia a tax haven?
>>200267523>blaming a son for the sins of his fatherCome on don't be retarded.
>>200268409>is russia a tax havenNot for workers at least, the taxes for such are just the same as in the EU, about 40%, just most of it is payed by the employer. For enterprisers it might be as low as around 5% I've heard but I'm not sure if there's another trick. >business ventures>entrepreneurshipsI'm not the type of person who knows much about it but it looks like there's not many chances. It looks like there are big companies all tied to the government and small shits mostly owned by churkas with nothing in-between. Can't be sure though.>meeting interesting peopleI mean, don't most of kinda interesting people in any country speak English anyway? I think it's more possible than with French anyway. >france is a country i dislike a lotYeah it really sucks, arguably the worst developed country (Poland included).>>200268481How son can speak a separated language if his father spoke a rural dialect of Russian?
I mean, all the years and centuries before 1991, there was literally no urban H-words. Once an H-word quits living in his dirty village, he stops being an H-word, whether he goes to a Polish city or to a Russian city (there was no H-wordian cities). H-wordian "culture" is hillbilly redneck culture.I mean my genetic test shows me I'm a nearly pure western Ukrainian and my surname ends in -ko but none of my ancestors or relatives associate themselves with H-words, their "culture", or their "language", just because all of them have been living in cities since 1920s and many since 1880s. Being an H-word is being uneducated.
>>200267032That image shows that the 2nd one is chinese THO
>>200268822Portuguese is a dialect of Spanish.
Just imagine yourself learning Russian, yes russian, that fucking disgusting, nasty, putrid language. fucking inserting it into your brain. Having that goblin speak inscripted inside your memory.Now imagine people doing that deliberately to themselves.What have the world come to?
>>200268880>poccolo piccolo ruccola ciccolaRedeem your post sir.
I think it's just too difficultI started with Russian but after a month or two I decided to switch to an easier language, FrenchHaving spent 2 years studying French I realise now that language learning takes forever and so I balk whenever I see the FSI estimate of Russian taking twice as long as French does I am a hardcore russophile and a hardcore francophile but I'm just not sure if it's possible for me to study Russian
>>200267032Honestly, I'm too low IQ to learn another language. If you give me a qt3.14 boyfriend to teach me Russian, I will.
>>200267586it iscan some turkfriend turan-pill us on why there's so many turkish websites
>>200267032There were some Russian Orthodox missionaries down south of my cunt
>>200269060There are several faggot boards on Russian imageboard Dvach btw, you might ask there using Google translate.>>200268989>hardcore francophileHow can it be? What do you like in this country? I mean, all good about it must be in Old French but it's not intelligible with modern French.>spent 2 years studying FrenchHow so? What were you doing? Did you use these fancy Nature Method textbooks? They're really nice and do work.
>>200268655another reason why russian interests me is because of quantum theories by russian scientists>Not for workers at least, the taxes for such are just the same as in the EU, about 40%, just most of it is payed by the employer. For enterprisers it might be as low as around 5% I've heard but I'm not sure if there's another trick.one anon told me vladivostok has a special tax status compared to other regions
>>200269100Yeah I really wonder now. I also wonder how Arabic is so useless especially in comparison with Persian, I've always thought it was the opposite. Should I consider learning Persian in elderly instead of Arabic?>>200269102Are there many of them? Do they succeed? >>200269195>quantum theories by russian scientistsOh then you should at least try, there's quite a much of unique scientific material in Russian on ant topic, might easily be as much as in German.>vladivostokI live in the Far East (not in this city though) but I've never heard of such. I'll try to check now but I doubt it's true.
>>200269125To be honest I just chose French because it seemed like the best language to learn but the more I studied French and the more French literature I read the more obsessed I became with FranceI mostly like 19th and early 20th century French literature but I do have an interest in Old French and hope to study it one dayHave you read any medieval French texts yet?As for what I was doing I was just fucking around for a long time with a textbook, French for Reading by Karl Sandberg, struggling to motivate myself to read more than a few pages a day and then I started reading as much French as possible which is when I started to feel that I was making actual progressI personally recommend this approachIt's way easier to motivate yourself once you leave textbooks behind
>>200269195>>200269236It seems to be real for all of the Far East:>Иcхoдя из пoлoжeний Фeдepaльнoгo зaкoнa oт 13.07.2015 N 212-ФЗ (peд. oт 07.03.2017) "O cвoбoднoм пopтe Bлaдивocтoк", зoнa cвoбoднoгo пopтa нe oгpaничивaeтcя тeppитopиeй тoлькo caмoгo гopoдa Bлaдивocтoк, a pacпpocтpaняeтcя нa pяд мyниципaльных oбpaзoвaний cyбъeктoв PФ.

>>200267032I love how the alphabet looks and it’s easier to pronounce then Spanish or German.
>>200269347I don't think it's easier to pronounceI think the palatalised R sound is difficult to pronounce, ш and щ are difficult to distinguish in fast speech and ы is unnaturalSome of the consonant clusters are tongue twisters and sometimes vowels are reduced so much that you can barely hear them and yet Russians will tell you that they can clearly hear them
>>200269322>>200269195Meh it's a total meme: https://erdc.ru/about-spv/12% tax after the first 5 years.>>200269242>French literatureSuggest what to read please. I know what I really want to read in Italian but not a clue for French.>>200269242>you read any medieval French textsOh no anon, I'm only on Classical Latin yet, finishing it though as I went to actually reading actual texts without a dictionary.>recommend this approachFor all Latin languages, there is this nature method series and it's basically just inpoot you suggest but well-structured. I had learned Latin after only less than a half of a year of study with such.
>>200267032Iran has language? I thought they all speak arabic.
>>200269423They speak PersianIranians also aren't ArabsThey're more closely related to Europeans
>>200269125>faggot boardsBut I'm a bio female. Realistically speaking, what cultural exports does the Russian language have besides literature? I got into Japanese briefly because of anime/manga and I studied Spanish for a bit because I actually meet a lot of Spanish speakers. If I could start over again, I wouldn't even mind learning Chinese or Korean for their extensive romance novels and dramas industry. Does Russian have a lot of original language romance novels or dramas?
>>200269347>the alphabetYeah it's nice. Have you noticed there's no distinction between most of the capital and normal letters besides the size? >then SpanishNo not at all anon, wtf.>GermanYeah German sucks.>>200269379>palatalised R soundTrue to pronounce /pи/ and then remove /и/. Idk if it works though, I wonder if I would even be able to pronounce palatalized consonants at all if I hadn't learned them in childhood. >ш and щ are difficult to distinguishThey're arguably merely allophonic like in Chinese. The Russian phonology study is kinda retarded. >ы is unnaturalIt has the same sound as English SIT actually. >sometimes vowels are reduced so much that you can barely hear themCould you show an example?>>200269423Tajiks also speak it but write in Cyrillic alphabet and not in Arabic like Iranians.
>>200269392>>200269322in any case, whats vladivostok like? is it the most developed region in the far east?
>>200269494I highly recommend Vladimir Sorokin
>>200268854Above: website language.Below: spoken language.
>>200269392So there's Le Français Par La Méthode Nature which was in the same series as Familia Romana but I don't think it's as good as Familia Romana, personally I found it to be very boring If you like this kind of approach then I guess you should give it a goAs for French literature there's a ton to readRight now I'm reading the novels of George SimenonHe wrote a series of detective novels which feature the character Maigret and also romans durs which were his attempt at writing more seriously literature in order to win the Noble PrizeThe style is very terse and the atmosphere is great in each of his Maigret novelsI suppose the best thing about them is that he deliberately tried to write with a restricted vocabulary, the idea being that a blue collar worker should be able to finish one of his novels (really more of a novella) in a single day, which obviously helps someone learning FrenchThen there's my favourite French author, MaupassantMaupassant was a master of short stories and they're also relatively easy to read. I've read about 500 pages of his short stories and found them all to be very interesting and entertainingThe third author that I've read the most of is Houellebecq who I'm sure you've heard of beforeBalzac is the author that I want to read the most but I find him to be quite difficult so have only read a short story and a novellaI highly recommend you learn French
>>200269611Not those kinds of romance novels. Pic related romance novels.
>>200269473They're more closely related to Indians sir. >>200269523It's an awful city, better consider Khabarovsk if you want to live in the Far East. I meant literally nobody likes it and literally everything there sucks, it's just an awful city.>>200269494>what cultural exportsScience of all kinds, as mentioned above. Music might be good, especially unironically all these old marches and hymns - I can't find such type of music in any other language. Cinema rather kinda sucks but there's a lot of good YouTubers I gues. What else to recall?>>200269494>a lot of original language romance novels or dramasThere are much obviously but I'm unsure about their quality. You have to consider Russian is totally independent in terms of content, learning English is not obligatory for Russians like it's for Scandinavians, you kind find anything you can read, watch, listen, or whatever natively. >>200269611Anon asked for "romance novellas" not for political memes.>>200269654You're not going to speak with Chinese, Arabs, or Brazilians.

It's a bigger one but there's much less opportunities for business I believe. Actually, I wasn't even thinking you meant Far East when you were speaking about Russia, people usually think it's some poor depressive shithole populated by drunkard Mongoloids while it's actually richer and so on than the European part. I believe you actually can do some profitable business there not only with Chinese by the way but also with South Koreans - who are actually as fuck loyal to Russia - and even with Japanese maybe.>>200269916Кcтaти, a нa гpeчecкoм ecть чтo-тo интepecнoe?

>>200269851>>200270032But if you're going to live there, you have to know: the weather really sucks. It sucks even for me, a native Russian, and idk what can happen to youif you're going to reside there permanently. The summers are kinda like in the hottest parts of Mexico while the winters are literally like in the Arctic and it's not a hyperbola.
>>200270074Why do sudacas hate your pronunciation of Spanish? It literally sounds better.
>>200270143Dunno, its not like I care what they think.
>>200270110>>200269851Also, the proximity of China there is actually a hidden gem. I thought it's a meme and it's expensive to travel there but Northeastern China is actually cheap and accesible as fuck, and not only as a resort but also as a market so I believe there actually might be a lot of business opportunities there.Can't wait to go there myself next summer.
