bump, arcere mortem
Anyone who claims Bulgarian is any easy Slavic language is lying to youThey say this because it has no cases, but it has other shit that is just as bad, or actually worseYou see, every verb is conjugated for person, number, tense, voice, mood, aspect, evidentiality, and gender (male, female, or neuter)Bulgarian retains the aorist tense from proto-indo-european, which is also found very rarely in Georgian and Armenian, and also in Ancient Greek and SanskritThe aorist tense indicates and action that took place once at a specific time in the past but given it's unfamiliar to basically any other living language, it's difficult to get used toIt also has the future-in-the-past tense (and a perfect variation of it) for actions that occured in the past, but after the time at which some other event being discussed occured. Why would you need this?Even more painful, Bulgarian also has a grammatical feature called "evidentiality" that I mentioned earlier.This is where verbs are additionally changed according to how it is that you know the action in the sentence occuredThere are 4 categories of evidentials:The indicative (I know the action the verb describes took place because I saw it happen myself)The inferential (I didn't see it happen, but I saw other evidence that convinces me that it happened)The renarrative (somebody else told me it happened, and they witnessed it first hand)The dubiative (somebody else told me it happened, and that person heard it from someone else, and so on)So - in Bulgarian you cannot ever simply say "the man kicked the ball", or "the dog ate the bone".You MUST modify the verb every time you speak to explain your source of knowledgeThis makes writing fiction in Bulgarian weird... what form or the evidential should the narrator use???But yeah, all of these features combined, you have hundreds of potential forms for each verbMaybe not all of them are used, but still, possible to make. It is a nightmare

>>218595167I found out today that there are actually a lot of people who (figuratively and literally) keep a noose in the house, not because the necessarily plan to use it, but because it gives them comfort as sort of an "escape hatch".And the reason is because we were optimists believing that our dreams/objectives were more easily attainable than they actually are. But when we try and fail, we want the comfort of knowing that there's a way out, instead of knowing that we have to keep trying or accept never achieving what we want.
Has studying languages made you more or less racist? Before learning Chinese I used to think they were "intellectually sovereign", but a totally insane amount of their vocabulary now are calques of Western words. The suffix 性 which is everywhere and means -ness/-ity was only picked up by 明治 era Japan and spread to China in the early 20th century. They colonised their own language with superior White words that we had used for millennia, and it was one-way only. Imperial Chinese is actually extremely oogabooga at times

I just want to read and listen. And yes I'm slightly retarded.
>>218603813Ask in djt
>>218603813The way I see it you have two paths. You either grind RTK first, learn to read, then bridge to spoken japanese later or ignore the kanji completely at first, lean on spoken + furigana and then when you have a decently sized vocabulary redo a vocabulary deck without the audio and learn how the words are written.
I've been pondering this as a ritual each day for months

>>218602712I don’t think AI will ever eliminate the need for a human translator or to learn the language for yourself. In the same way, I don’t think AI will eliminate or make redundant jobs that require expert judgment like being a lawyer. This is because the tool is only as good as the person using it, and it might as well be useless if the person giving inputs and interpreting outputs has no idea what they’re doing. You can’t tell if what it gives you is correct or not for your specific context. It’s particularly bad when AI is as it is now and ultimately is only giving you a prediction of what it thinks should come next. I bring up law as an example because you’d think it’d be an obvious place where AI would be better than a human, but law, like language, involves a lot of expert judgment in employing the best tools and techniques to accomplish something. Even with AI and countless free tools at their disposal, laypeople never stop fucking up legal things when they try to avoid using an attorney. I feel like language will be much the same way and someone using it as a crutch will cause a lot of miscommunication.Thank you for listening to my TED talk.

>>218603813>>218604982in terms of radicals, you have to be aware that characters are made out of components (easier to memorise components than each individual stroke) but playing etymology and trying to decipher what a character means and sounds like each time you see a new one isn't going to work out well (like you'll never guess that 漢 water + man being burnt alive in a rain summoning sacrificial ritual means "Chinese")grinding kanji in isolation won't achieve much either, there's simply too much to memorise at once and you won't know how to apply that knowledge well when actually reading for a whilethis is why learning actual complete words is just the best way to learn anything in japanese because you should be able to pick up on any patterns that are clearly visible and not hidden by literal thousands of years of linguistic evolution, otherwise most learning will have to be pure memorisation like it is with any other language

(especially when that spelling is alphabetic; it could be so much worse.)but it spoiled me - on one hand, in english you don't have to know all the weird grammatical fuckery found in other languages, eg. super complex inflectional systems, and to me that's a pro for the language itself, but that also means you don't know any of that for when you go to learn foreign languages.

>>218590464Don't know much about it, but some tips for learning obscure languages from personal experience:1. the best resources may not be in English. In this case maybe it'd be French? It may be worth learning French if the resources are much better2. closely related languages may have more widely available resources and may share lots of things in terms of grammar, phonology, vocab, etc. Some weird grammatical feature in Dyula, Bambara, and Mandinka might be best explained in a Mandinka textbook.3. Download literally any book in the language you can get your hands on. Try Anna's archive4. Learn IPA and use that with printed dictionaries if you can't find online dictionaries or pronunciations5. Check for mormon, fsi, or peace corps resources. They do lots of obscure languages.6. Look for places online where people actually use it for sentence mining. It could be a facebook group or subreddit for some Dyula-speaking city
>>218605444translating a webpage or even youtube video on a computer and real time translation of having dinner with your in-laws are two very different thingsplus translation is never really a perfect 1:1 input/output. Words not only mean lots of different things that can be misinterpreted, but also words carry certain contexts that can easily disappear in translation. In Tagalog for example, "kuya" is usually translated as brother, but it actually means something like "male around your age that you respect, probably slightly older." You call you cousin, friend, brother, but also some McDonald's worker "kuya." Sure, you could just translate it as brother or bro, but without knowing the real meaning of the word you lose a lot of the actual information being conveyed. >>218612389is there any real advantage to lute over languagereactor?

Like how 教 is used in the verb 教える but also used in religious contexts like キリスト教, or how 総 in 総理 means "general, all" and is composed of the radicals for "thread, public/government, heart" and trying to make a mnemonic story out of it to remember
>>218620957go do something else? if they're taking you long, sorry
>>218620610Maybe. Nobody really knows how it works.
>>218620957Remind yourself that you asked for it and that the pain means it's working.>>218620610Yeah, input you don't understand is useless. It's like raw noise unless you put in the effort to decode it i.e. listen to the podcast with a transcript, pause after every line and lookup the unknown words and translate the sentences to fill in the gaps. Listening to shit that you don't understand and hoping it will magically make sense doesn't work.
>>218621148you talk very condescendingly so I'm going to ignore your advice>>218621295I hope that's the case, I'll do an hour of anki and legitimately feel like my brain is melting by the end of it. I hate it by the end but I know it's the best way to make myself memorize stuff long tem
>>218621295What if I understand little bits, say the sentence is 16 words and i understand 4 or 5 words?
>>218594723This looks like Coptic i think. If you're thinking of learning please do realize it's completely dead and probably won't be revived any time in our lifetime despite coptcuck dreams of the contrary. Would piss off the pisslamists too much but that's a long story. Don't bother if you're not obsessed with it the only people who can speak it are desert monks and shit
>>218621391Useless. You should be aiming to understand full sentences and recognizing an isolated word here or there is often not enough to even understand the gist of what's being said.
How many reviews/new cards do you do a day in a deck? I set it to 15 new, 150 reviews on my main deck (sentence mining and general notes), and 7/70 on my auxiliary decks (top verbs and nouns)I'll tweak it to be more or less depending on how busy my week is
>>218620610It's fine as long as you're doing something else to pick up grammar and new words
>>218622796usually 60-70 new cards + 600ish reviews per day
>>218620610yeah you need to be able to follow input in order to progress. I learned this the hard way trying to do ajatt with spam incomprehensible input hoping my brain would eventually figure it out and wasting a huge amount of timedo whatever you need to make the input comprehensible. it doesn't necessarily have to be graded or learner material. can be word lookup/glossing, narrow watching (consuming the same genre of material .like watching a bunch of videos of the same game in TL or reading on the same subject), going over the same content over and over while looking up words until it makes sense, etcyou need rapid comprehension (being able to follow something at a regular speed) in order to progress
>>218587521red monkey
I am RAPED by BASQUE even though it's supposedly my ORIGINS
>>218621423Coptic is kind of appealing to learn for west-adjacent historical autism. Not as much as Latin and Ancient Greek though
I wish the Spanish had come up with anime girls instead of the Japanese so I wouldn't have to learn this stupid language and it's moon runes.
>>218624358Syriac is also quite interesting and I think it has roughly as significant of a corpus as Coptic. I've heard it's very easy to learn compared to historical languages like Ancient Greek or Hebrew. Considering it's Semitic, I wouldn't have guessed that>>218624177Is the Basque situation in France as dire as I hear it is? Sounds like only really old people living in a handful of villages speak it fluently.

>>218614324Yes I agree, and this is what I have been doing manually, but it takes a long time to add cards still compared to clicking a button.This is why I would like help if anyone has a good automining setup for spanish
just reached that phase between B2 and C1 where you think you are good and start to get an ego about yourself, and then are completely humbled by how far you truly are from native speakers
>>218613686Latin and ancient Greek is White. Those are just the six hundred they bothered to put on that page. You literally couldn't say the word "possibility" in Chinese before the 20th century.
>>218629728You could just say 可能 which can also be a noun as well as an adjective 可能性 just makes it clearly a nounAlso the phrase XX之性 was also used before Japanese influence got people to drop the 之 in colloquial Chinese Also I don't get the double standard where 600ish calques makes Chinese not "intellectually independent" whereas Japanese and Korean deriving their entire languages from Chinese doesn't get a peep
what are some good spanish youtube channels i can watch at .75 speedi dont want any language learning shit

it's crazy how you can write something down or repeat it a million times but only through input does it actually become ingrained in your mind without having to take time thinking about itinputGODS, I kneel
>>218625537There are schools, libraries, news and many other things in basque, it's not some kind of amazonian language on the verge of extinctionStilll only like 10% of the french basque country can speak it
>>218620957reduce the amount of cards you are learning so the reviews come down. I personally can't spend more than 10 minutes on anki before I lose my mind, so I try to keep it below that.
>>218628500You're using some gay refold template so I would probably stop using that for a start and you should stop expecting much from Yomitan for non-Japanese languages because generally no one cares about them. If you want minimal effort Routledge frequency dictionaries are already glossed for you.

I spent a year tryng to learn a language. I jused used Anki lolmaybe some people can learn from my failureguess what? one year of daily Anki for one hour a day. I couldn't speak at all, or understand spoken natural languageso people started making fun of me. I got discouraged and gave up for two years. My vocabulary was very good though lolNow I started learning again. This time with Assimil and FSI drills. Now I'm finally making real progress. Don't ever rely on Anki by itself. It's a supplement
Is clozemaster any good? I remember trying it for Tagalog and the sentences it had sounded incorrect or at least awkward. Maybe it's better for Portuguese?
>>218648222Er muss ein Dicker gewesen sein.
There's like a thousand Spanish grammar books. Anyone know any that are really good?
>die Halbwaise>half orphan, i.e. kid who lost one parent, rather than both Kind of a cool word. Does your lang have a specific word for this? I guess half orphan is the english term although I've never heard it.
>>218656178Spanish for Reading by Karl Sandberg
>>218653968>1 hour a day365 hours is not a lot for language learning
>>218656966Yeah it's the truthGod I wish I could stop being a pathetic dilettante
>>218648467those are usually made by the aforementioned group too.
Do English and Japanese really culture mog every other language? Like learning Spanish sounds nice but I don't want to watch 500 hours of soap operas, maybe the literature is good but it's inaccessible for beginners
>>218647783the gooberment can't sustain a whole culture. (they can't even manage tangible things like an economy or roads.)churning out a bunch of slop is no good, that's artificial, it isn't of the people so why would anyone care? let alone enough to go on some "I need to embrace my heritage" bend. there's been efforts to resuscitate cultures like that, but its only ever been successful if there's a lot of interested people who will personally adopt it.look at hebrew - dead language - but the jews all got together and started speaking it again, because they cared. you couldn't manufacture that sort of devotion.anyways, I don't know anything about the maldives or its language(s) - pretty sure its an island, couldn't tell you where though. good luck buddy.
>>218656874When someone is "half orphan" in Italian we specify which part is missing, it's usually «orfano di padre» and the opposite is «orfano di madre».I guess a literal translation of "Halbwaise" would be «semiorfano».
>>218658994To expand «orfano» in Italian is someone who is "missing" the parental figure so «orfano di» is someone who "lacks s.o". This is why figuratively someone could be «orfano di speranza» as an extreme, compassionate statement of someone who is left without hope.
>>218656874Chinese has a word for a son who has lost his father 孤子 but no word for half orphan>>218658017every language has dubbed peppa
>>218659353>dubbed peppaMy favorite. Oink oink!
>>218658017I'd include France as a distant third due to their literature and movies too.

>>218658017Chinese has actual content but yeah that’s literally it
>>218654441yeah it's good as a bit of daily practice, with the free 30 sentences. kind of lame that they added a limit though. the sentences are pulled from tatoeba, so the quality depends on that. if you see a mistranslation or a broken sentence, you can 'ignore' the sentence to never see it again
>>218658017does japan really have that much culture? there's anime (99% of which sucks), film (among the greatest), and some literature (poetry, mishima, buddhist/philosophy stuff. hardly comparable to the western canon.)in terms of throwaway daytime tv shows, gameshows and stuff, I think every language has those.the germans and russians easily mog the nips in terms of any serious culture.
>>218637024I can see why the native speakers of a language would feel bad if their language died, but does linguistic diversity serve a purpose? the natives of the Americas never unified under a single language in what is now their respective countries, whereas in early modern Europe one language dominated large swaths of land. The natives of the Americas had dozens if not hundreds of languages and i feel like this represented a significant bottleneck to modernize, as a result they were eventually conquered by English, Portuguese and Spanish colonists. If humanity had a few languages instead of thousands, that would increase the potential for collaboration accelerate progress.Pic unrelated
>>218656178I don't know if this one is the best but I am planning to use this one. It's simple and completely in Spanish.
>>218577804ἐς εὐνὴν ἔρχομαι κεκμηκὼς ἐώνἆρ' ἔδῃ 'κεῖνο;γάλακτός τι κομίζοις κεν οἴκαδε νοστέων;ὁ τοὐμὸν δίφρον ὤρθωσεν ἔσχατος οὐκέτ' ἐκεῖ μισθαρνέειτρὶς ἔβωσά μιν ἀλλὰ τὸν νόον οὐ προσέσχενεἴθ ὤφελλες πρότερόν μοι εἶπαι, ἐπίκουρός κ' ἦνσυγγνώμην, οὐκ ἤϊσα· αὖθις βραδέως εἴποις κεν;οἱ μὲν γέροντες οὐ νόον κάτ' ὀξέες τῶν νέων· ἔνδηλόν δὲ ἡμέας ἐκείνων ἤδη ἁμαρτάνειν ὦν ἁμαρτήσεσθαι τάχ' ἐκείνους καὶ συνφορὰς πάσχειν ἅς πείσεσθαί σφέας ἤν μὴ τῶν ἀξιομνημονεύτων φροντίδ' ἔχωσιν
>>218660183Japan was an island that isolated itself for hundreds of years and Europeans collaborated more with each other so yes this is true, but you can read their translated works anyway, and it is better to know the English terminology in case you want to discuss them in /int/ernational circles.so it depends on which content you think loses the most nuance when translated, but i also like the writing system.>in terms of throwaway daytime tv shows, gameshows and stuff, I think every language has those.I dont think any country comes close to Japan and America in terms of the production of pop culture that resonates with a global audience.You are also talking about dead authors and books that were written hundreds of years ago, not about an ongoing tradition with the same relevance that you cannot access through translations, so i think it is more productive to talk about languages in terms of ecosystems of speakers online or in presence that you cannot access without learning the language (video essayists, online forums).;I guess that Japan has a mystique to it due to the relatively low rates of English proficiency and beyond pop culture you can also be interested in some aspects of their culture like their worldview or in the Japanese language as a thing in itself.
>>218645815What makes you think you are B2/B1? I am asking so that I can calibrate myself, since I believe to have reached the same level. I mostly understand the France Culture podcasts, can understand most of things like Le Figaro but still struggle (60-80% comprehension) with more interesting native YT content.
>>218660183Japan having great culture is a 4chanism. To most people it's not particularly special. It probably loses a lot more when translated to English than say Spanish to English, but the main attraction of Japanese media is not in its diction or wording. >>218660785>global audienceno, English media is the only thing that can really command a global audience. 90% of Japanese content stays in the domestic market only while almost 100% of English language content is watched abroad tooalso>they brought back the stars captchaurgh
>>218660364>does linguistic diversity serve a purpose?Culture on its face serves no purpose nor architecture nor anything else involving beauty or art. You might as well turn the world into the Borg if you're just going to worship at the alter of productive forces and technocapital.
>>218660364>the natives of the Americas never unified under a single language in what is now their respective countriesexcept when the majority of north american tribes were using hand talk for international trade and communication, also ignoring the many empires that existed and whose languages were used as lingua francas regionally
>>218661193In reality German is one of the coolest languages in terms of word formation word order and its literary canon, as well as the culture of German speaking countries. I just needed an cope to save time. I am not denying that German words are really cool, I just think that no recruiter would think that it is a hard language and knowledgeable recruiters would also think that all Germans, Austrians and Swiss people already speak flawless English.I also wanted to distance myself from people who only learn German and French because they like learning easy western European languages and not because they actually appreciate those cultures.
i am besaddened by the fact that germans are good at writing grammar references for classical tibetan because it means that i need to spend the 4 or so months needed to learn enough german grammar to be able to read any of them

>>218660364Linguistic diversity serves absolutely no purpose; in fact it holds back the development of centralised states which is why central governments have (and will) always oppose it. Think of how incredibly inconvenient it is for the EU to work in 23 languages, or South Africa to work with 11. Linguistic diversity is also opposed to the modern idea of the nation-state (one people one country), how can a people possibly be united if they speak two different languages? To governments it only creates the opportunity for separatism and division.This, naturally, is why absolutely no country on this earth supports linguistic diversity other than the ones that have been forced to by historical circumstance (usually by having no one dominant language)

If you just started reading and listening as soon as you realized Anki wasn't enough, you'd be fine because building vocab wasn't a total waste.
i can't decide whether i want to learn turkish or farsi as my next langturkish has tons of resources, it represented on pretty much every major language platform and i can physically go there and speak for cheap or just speak to turks in my citybut farsi has aura and i have a persistent fantasy of going to iran when the mullahs fall like people did with the 90s soviet union/russia. i just can't find any good resources because no english speakers learn it

>>218664581>though sounds a bit oldOld quality or they speak old swedish? Or they sound elderly?
>>218664384So let's put it this way. According to another anon maybe like 10% of Japanese media gets outside of Japan. For Spanish that has to be like 1%. I just simply don't see that many people discuss Spanish TV shows or movies compared to their Japanese equivalents
>>218664351I took a look at swedish netflix and they have dubbed pokemon indigo league. Pretty much any major kids show will have a dub, though finding torrents or any similar resource for them is probably next to impossible

>>218664842i literally never hear people discuss japanese shows unless its tranimei've heard non-spanish speaking british normies discuss narcos, la casa de papel (money heist) and elite
>>218665324One of my greatest motivation lately was moving past innerfrench and his shit. I soldiered on through roughly 80 episodes. Sadly, for A2 learners I feel like he is by far the best in terms of speed, inflection and lexical choices. I've recently started listening to Parlez-moi d'Histoire and I found it rather interesting, but I lean on my native language for cognates and domain specific knowledge to understand it. You might have a more difficult time.
>>218664842>Spanish moviesThats because normies are not familiar with european cinema. Spain, Russia, Italy, France, Sweden, Denmark they all have noteworthy cinematic traditions but they are cultish, only hardcore movie fans know about themMexico has some good movies but its mostly just slophttps://www.criterion.com/shop/browse/list?sort=spine_number&country=Argentina,Cuba,Guatemala,Spain,Mexicobut you dont have to force it. If you are not interested in Spanish or Latino culture or in the Spanish language itself, just learn Japanese.
>>218664842That might be because weebs are the far more obnoxious.
>>218665404Anime however is enjoyed nearly universally and those three examples aren't. Narcos is produced by the US and it's the first time I hear about elite.
>>218640313Latinx people here are notorious for this. Ive lost count of the amount of times I've asked a brown worker at a restaurant or diner a question and they looked back with a blank stare or said some shit like "sorry no ablo Ingles". I don't know how you can decide to live somewhere without ever learning the language, thank God we're kicking them out

>>218666399The Mexican education system is exceptionally bad at teaching English, because of that many people grow up thinking that learning English is hard and they associate the language with boring classroom exercises, many times they also dont understand the extent of information they are missing out on by not speaking the language. Any tard can just cross the border illegally whereas people from other poor countries have to be flown in and they are the smartest people in their countries, the intellectual and economic elites.The European equivalent of immigrants who dont speak your language would be nafris and subsaharan Africans, again, because they arrive in boats as refugees, they are normies in poor countries, so obviously a poor Afghan man is not going to be fluent in English, much less in German, Swedish or French.

Is there anybody like Spanish Boost but in French? By that I mean, somebody that makes videos focused on learning. But is actually funny and entertaining so it's easy to pay attention instead of spacing out after a few minutes? I tried looking French Boost, but no luck so far.

I'm Jording out. For around ten years I've been interested in learning Russian, I kinda learned the alphabet back then and maybe two weeks of duolingo. Couple days ago I finally downloaded anki decks and started learning, in big part inspired by Livakivi. Yet I'm blackpilled about languages. My 'native' language is Spanish, I have an accent that is 98% native, I have spoken it at home for over 20 years, I have endured the 9PM telediario for the most part of my life. Despite all this, I struggle to speak intelligently about things, in fact I find it consistently easier to express myself in English than Spanish. I have a hard time justifying spending so much time learning a lang. I use English 90% of my day and probably wouldn't pass C2 without some extensive practice. Anyways I'm just blogposting now, I don't mean to blackpill others, it's just that when I search for this I only find whitepill posts about enjoying the journey and whatnot. Fuck that, I don't enjoy drilling grammar and anki cards, I just wan't to watch a russian vlog of some random drug rambling. I'm too pragmatic, sadly I'll probably have to stay on my lane and learn all the great new additions to C++23 instead so that I can use them in 15 years
I've got to stop jerking off I always lose all my motivation to study afterwards
>>218676903I've noticed jacking off really fucks with motivation and focus a lot too. Unironically, noticing how much gooning makes studying harder has convinced me to stop more than anything.
Latin, Russian, and Ancient Greek are the only worthy languages. The rest are incoherent monkey noises. >>218676605>tf>My 'native' language is SpanishHorror story.
>>218598405this is very true
>>218598405I've been learning English for over 20 years, but the expression like 'I'm working for myself' still feels awkward to me because, from a Korean perspective, it's quite an odd expression.
How to say "ching chong ping pong" in Korean btw?
>>218677354had a khazak in my class too
>>218677393you should be working for the weekend instead
>>218677399We don't say this, never ever
I came to obsolutely detest Americanised people, as well as English itself. I now put the most thick accent possible when speaking this "language", I also removed spelling correction so wherever I don't know how to write a word, I just write random gibberish. English is basically a trade pidgin to adress coloured servant while you're on a vacation in a third world shithole. >>218677401Not a Kazakh obviously, just testing a VPN. Kazakhs all live in tents in the wilderness and drink horse semen or something, all Kazakh flags here are larping Russians or VPNs.
>>218677406I mean, It's not that there isn't the act of "working for myself" in Korea, but I mean, that considering the linguistic features. The phrase "working myself" is expressed as a single term in Korean, such as "사업 해요" (I run a business) or "자영업 해요" (I do selfemployedwork). In Korean, it's expressed in this way, and the combination of "working" and "myself" doesn't align with how it's typically articulated in Korean.
Imagine be like>oh the language of pajeets, obese new world goblins, trannies and negroids! the language with no known culture besides start wars, youtube streamers, and the neuroslop video about cat drumph! this is the language i want to conduct all my private life in
