It's true though. Reading works just as well, if not better, but it requires repetition. I think it's much less of a hassle and much more effective to review short texts every few days than it is to grind through isolated words in Anki every day.

>>215639749
verb gostar is used with preposition "de"
>Ele gosta de ir para passeios
this is still wrong. using para here proves you are a learner and the reason i decided to correct a person with a portuguese flag writing portuguese. motion verbs are 90% used with "a" because para indicates going and not coming back.
>Ele gosta de ir a passeios
park = parque but i guess it could be a portugal difference

>>215640026
>using para here proves you are a learner and the reason i decided to correct a person with a portuguese flag writing portuguese.
Sim, sou francês, moro em Portugal há 3 meses, agora estou a aprender português de Portugal, obrigado por ajudar-me.
>park = parque but i guess it could be a portugal difference
I dont know how they make the difference between a parque and a jardim here, it doesn't seem to follow the same logic as in french, but dog parks are called parques caninos, and places with grass, trees, say a children's playground and a water fountain are called jardims

I simultaneously want to do more and less, for my daily study.

>>215640995
plural of things ending with "m" is "ns", so "jardins"
btw, both in portuguese and english you are commiting a mistake called comma splice
"Sim, sou francês. Moro em Portugal há 3 meses. Agora estou a aprender português de Portugal. Obrigado por ajudar-me." would be correct

>>215639250
>它喜欢跑步
Male animals can also be called 他
跑步 means run, 散步 means walk but when you're talking about an animal it's better to say 溜达/遛(狗 )
他喜欢溜达 / 他喜欢出去遛

>在公园里它闻着草而跑跑
First, in Chinese the subject always goes before time and location clauses.
you don't need both 着 and 而, 着 marks the verb as subordinate/simultaneous with another verb, but by adding 而 you make it another clause so the 闻着 has no main verb and sounds wrong.
他在公园(里)闻着绿草乱跑

>不知道它在找什么东西
You can't drop the subject if it's not been mentioned so this needs 我
"Wonder" you can also translate as 想不到

>看到其他一只狗时它的尾巴就摇摇起来
其他 doesn't go with specific objects, it's more general. 其他狗 other dogs 其他人 other people but 另一只狗 another (specific) dog
时 can be dropped here, it's more natural to use an 一...就... structure
You forgot to translate "happily", also the specific word for wag a tail is 掉尾巴 or 摆尾
他一看到(看见)另一只狗,尾巴就开始开心地摆起来

There's too many mistakes in the hard part for me to correct without changing the entire structure of your sentences

Stupid ass language

>>215646763
Why are you learning it?

>>215646763
Anki deck for french conjugation has 2000+ cards. Good luck to learn them all.
And you need this to just use verbs. Im not even talking about french grammar.

>>215646763
can you give an example

>>215646798
I like french people and how this language sounds like

>>215646422
Yeah, that’s something I actually did when I visited Italy, Spain and France. However, because their languages are closer to mine, I actually felt more at ease learning them and improvising when needed.

Aside from english, which is already a very weird germanic language, I have zero experience with germanic languages, so german is very intimidating to me.

>There are around 60 irregular –ir verbs, but that doesn’t mean you have to memorize 60 different verb conjugation tables. Thanks to patterns in the conjugations of most of these verbs, you only need to learn 21.

Only 21 patterns! Im grateful! And dont forget that you need to learn 7 different tenses for each pattern. 21*7=147 tables for ir group.

>anything you could possibly want is translated
The same with spanish and german.

>>215647628
That's one of the reasons I want to learn German someday, but I won't dabble
I'm lucky there's a lot of movies/TV shows in Czech but I don't usually watch those, I want games

>>215647609
well, actual listening requires a huge vocabulary which requires a lot of ankigooning as well, so everything is about anki in language learning

btw, these verb endings are pronounced differently that they are written
and some tenses arent used in everyday speech (preterit)

>>215648272
>actual listening requires a huge vocabulary
Not really. You won't understand everything but you'll pick up the words you know and a few you don't, which makes learning their definition easier later
>btw, these verb endings are pronounced differently that they are written
You get used to it

Mein Hund ist groß.
Es freut ihn, wenn ich mit ihm Gassi gehe.
Sein Lieblingsort ist der Park.

Am Park rennt er rum, schnuppernd am Gras.
Ich frage mich, wonach er sucht.
Immer wenn er einen anderen Hund sieht, fängt er an fröhlich mit dem Schanz zu wedeln.

Haben festgestellt, dass mein Hund langsam müde wurde, machte ich mich auf den Heimweg.
Als wir nach Hause gelangen sind, ist er sofort reingelaufen und sobald er drin war hat er sich erwartend vor mir gesetzt, mit Ungeduld ins Gesicht geschrieben, wartend auf mich, dass ich ihm das Abendessen endlich anrichte.
"Ich bin doch nicht dein Sklave, Herr" hab ich ihm erzählt und ich habe ihm eine Schüssel Hundefutter eingeschenkt, was er schon angefangen hat, zu verschlingen, ehe ich überhaupt fertig mit dem Einschenken war.

mon chien est gros.
il aime se promener.
son lieu préfère est le parc.

au park, il court partout renfilent l'herbe.
je me demande qu'est-ce qu'il cherche.

Don't fall for it guys, he's tricking you into outputting before you're ready and your brain will never recover!

German one isn't that good unfortunately. French dub is almost always perfect. Although in general it is better now than it used to be in all languages, because they take it more seriously now

remember that it's not rude to not say "hello" back, rather, it is rude of the native speaker to bait you in this egregious way to potentially do irreparable damage to your accent in early stages of your language learning journey (up to and including C1), stunting your chances to ever be a happy person

>>215652885

I don't think it's technically wrong, just not how it's usually said. I guess lieu is more like place. Lieu can be used to say "instead/in place of" or "takes place" or a physical space
Both can refer to a location, endroit is more commonly used. Lieu sounds more formal, but otherwise I don't know the rule

I'm kind of sceptical about the usefulness of AI but for language learning and pasting sentences there for immediate analysis while you read your source material it's pretty damn good

Diaspora learning armenian, what are the best resources

>How to choose a language? Which languages to learn?
1. Native language, parents' language
2. International language
3. Language of an important neighbour or partner of your country
4. Culturally important or interesting language
5. A language similar to your native language or just easy to learn
So for an American, it will be something like that:
>English, Spanish
>English, power gap, French, Spanish
>English, French, Spanish, Arab, Chinese
>British English, French, Japanese, Italian maybe
>British English, Dutch, Italian, French, Swedish
For a Pole
>Polish
>English, power gap, French, Spanish
>German, power gap, French, power gap, rest of the EU + English + Russian
>English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian
>Czech, Italian, Croatian, Russian, Spanish etc.

i'm annoyed that google did away with region-specific URLs. using google.co.jp for typing in japanese and finding learning material was my method for years.
yes I know I can change my language preferences but that's a pain in the ass and I don't want to do it for my regular uses. it was much nicer having a jp specific tab or something

>>215688177
you can probably do that with a firefox container tab

I want to point out a fact to all language learners

Use music, listen to songs. They are repetitive, easy to learn.

>>215689401
People always say this but I think it's kind of bullshit because music makes it too hard to hear what the lyrics are, and a lot of the time they're using weird words or phrases that would sound super weird in a normal conversation.

>>215689401
Oh and also most songs are only about 4 minutes long, that isn't much unless you really listen to a lot of music

>>215687867
learn more basic vocab and grammar
you have to ankigoon before you get to the peppa pig

>>215682045

>>215682045
AI can't into dialects, a person who speaks a language can have an understanding of dialects

Uyghur be like:
ok this is the Arabic-based alphabet that we currently use and was invented in 1982
we are going to call it "kona yeziq" which means old alphabet

ok this is the Latin alphabet that we used from 1965 to 1982 and is no longer official or used anywhere and was based off Soviet latinisation and pinyin
we are going to call it the “yengi yeziq" which means new alphabet

???????

>>215690059
back to /balt/ schizo

>>215689515
if you're just passively listening to music it's not very effective, but if you're actively learning and memorizing the lyrics its a pretty good way of acquiring vocab. vocab learned from songs tend to stick, especially if its emotionally charged music that you enjoy.

>Spanish subjunctive
What's the good approach? I've only began and it seems like it should have a textbook of its own ffs. I learned basic grammar and some words so i can understand people's bios on interpals and wherever people 'exchange' languages online. But subjunctive is intimidating af.

Btw, this vid is massively helpful

There is a difference between the nouns दादी (matern) and नानी(patern side) but Duolingo does not elaborates if you must translate it to be matern or patern since English does not concern on stablish to different noun to this concept.

This language supports the patriarchy in a bad way

Continuum participle :

रहा = male singular
रहे = male plural
रहे = male honorific
रहे = gender neutral plural
रही = female singular
रही = female plural
रही = female honorific
रही = female coloquial

Big word

Everybody now assumes I'm fluent in German but I still can't read even a bit of it.

>>215695721
Reading it is the easiest part. What's the trouble there?

>>215695796
I don't know the words dude. They look alien. It's not like that in French or Spanish.

>>215695796
reading "ch" as some kind of weird breathing sound and not a "k" sound is brutal

i picked up playing the guitar alongside language learning. employing the input method there too. that's to say, i listen to a lot of guitar music and will do so for another 1200-ish hours before i start outputting, so i won't mess up my playing in an early stage.

>>215695927
that sound exists in both languages of your country, it's not that strange

>>215695963
It doesn't exist in English though.

>>215695963
I thought it was only in Scottish accent English or something. but I had no idea it was in French

>>215695986
it does. in a couple words. the most prominent example is "human," which is commonly pronounced /ˈçju̟mən/

>>215695998
in french it exists in many varieties of the french spoken in france, including parisian. i don't speak french myself, but an example that comes to mind is the word "petit"
check the pronunciations in this wiktionary article, quite some of them feature it
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/petit?useskin=vector#French

>>215696005
Think that's the same as the Swedish sj sound, except sharper. Sj is less constricted.

>>215696076
i think they are quite similar, yeah, but definitely not the same. i think nothing is *quite* like the swedish one kek

>>215696094
Swedish one is kinda like if you try to imitate howling wind, though that might be a shitty explanation. Just slightly constricted at the back.

>>215695986
Exists in russian as "х" the poor thing that get transliterrated into "kh"...

>>215696022
ahh interesting, I can hear it

>>215696199
even better: the sound occurs unambiguously in the exact same instances where russian does something else peculiar: it's whenever г meets к, like in the words мягкий and лёгкий. here, г becomes [ç~xʲ], and the vowels become all funky and sound like ä and ö respectively.

>I learned basic grammar and some words
I think that's too advanced for a beginner. I recommend learning more vocabulary and the verbs in infinitive(green) first . Then the most basic form of present, past and future (red circles). Then the blue circles, and the rest after. Don't even learn the ones crossed, almost no one uses them.

If you still want to brute force subjunctive maybe try translating these examples until you get them right
https://www.ejemplos.co/ejemplos-del-modo-subjuntivo/
I used deepL to translate them into English and it was pretty accurate imo

I'm not a Spanish teacher so take this with a grain of salt.

>>215696770
btw, how frequently used are the individual subjunctive tenses? are they really all in use? because i have rarely encountered them in writing yet

>>215691616
Sure, I believe that, but how many songs do you have to study before you learn enough vocab?
This has "set your phone to your TL" energy.

>>215696828
Not 100% sure but
Presente: really common
Pretérito imperfecto: common
Pretérito pluscuamperfecto: common
Pretérito perfecto: rare
Futuro imperfecto: really really rare (fuck. I circled it by mistake over pretérito imperfecto)
Futuro perfecto: literally no one uses it

>>215699148
i actually did the math once and I believe it's around 200 songs until youve encountered most of the high frequency words

>>215700016
I have trouble even finding 10 songs that I like in my TL, but I realize that that issue is on my end.

>>215699148
>"set your phone to your TL" energy
That works too though

>>215701728
Well it depends how much you use your phone. If you use a lot of apps that automatically change the language based on your phone's setting, and you're the type of person to spend a lot of time on those apps then sure, that's definitely viable.
I don't use my phone much at all, except for listening to podcasts but those can be in any language regardless of the phone's setting.

>>215702732
Change it on the computer too

>>215695927
That is not brutal and also exists in a shitload of languages

Germans should just get rid of the Ü and consistently use Y for the same phoneme, which they already do in words derived from Greek, like Pyramide. Then they can use the ü key on the keyboard for something actually useful.

>but what about words like Yacht and Yoga where ze Y makes ze "J" sound in German?
Easy, just write those as Jacht and Joga.

>but what about ze tradition?
That argument was thrown out of the window when Germans permitted their government to go through with its language reforms 20+ years ago.

>>215704850
What about the other umlauts?

>>215704868
ä and ö are actually useful, there is no other character in German to write those sounds.
Ü on the other hand is superfluous because we already have Y.

>>215704850
Mynchen
>>215704962
Ä is just e, you can't convince me otherwise.

>>215704962
Actually, there are two useless letters that can be repurposed for ä and ö: q and x.
Q is only used with Qu and can be replaced with kw in most cases
X can be replaced with ks or cks

Honestly I do hear most Germans pronouncing E and Ä differently, but they have their roles reversed from how they're described in textbooks. They pronounce Erdbeere as Ärdbääre and Anhänger as Anhenger.
