going to try playing thousand year old vampire in tl
I am planning to travel to central asia, will learning Russian for a few months be enough to get by? And will the ensuing immersion push me closer to fluency than the canadicuck believes is possible?
I'm day 30 into learning my TL. I was struggling to keep my head above water by day 5, and my learning material keeps ramping up the difficulty.
I'm not actually learning a language for girls. I'm learning it for work

It's only a matter of time before tranny leaf drops Polish. If you're familiar at all with /lgbt/ you'd know that FTMs have this thing for larping as Slavic. There's one there who larps as Russian, several asking if it's 'okay to choose a Slavic name'. They think that being Slavic is somehow uber manly lmao. When she inevitably comes to regret her transition, she'll drop the Polish thing too

Can you make it so Anki will ask you to translate a word both ways, like from your native language to the target one and vice versa?
>>219255149Yes.
>>219255225How do you do it
>>219255313When you create a card, choose "Basic (and reversed card)" type.
>>219255349Can you do it after you've already created a card?
>>219255411I think you can just change the type of an existing card and it will work. If it doesn't you gotta look in the manual, I'm sure you can do it somehow.
>>219255457Is it possible on mobile?
>>219255571No idea, I've never used mobile, but I would be surprised if it isn't.
>>219255621I just tried it. It gave me a warning saying something about notes and mapping. This is getting complicated
I found an effecive use of AI with language learning other than speaking practice>every week, start a friction log. Record everything you don't understand, or struggle with, or are slow to answer.>at end of the week, tell AI to go over your fricction log and to create a friction audit document and identify concepts and areas that you struggle>it'll say things like double object prnouns, pronoun placement, demonstratives, etc>then, after doing that, tell it to make 100 Anki cards based on your friction log and audit for you to drill your weaknesses with>you can tell it as well to guide you to further resources for study of your weaknessesObviously, this is most useful for grammar. Don't even bother doing this for vocabYou are basically getting your weaknesses identified with very little effort, and zeroing right in on them with drills specially curated for your weaknessesI also use AI to make my weekly lesson plans, and at the end of the week test to further isolate more exactly my weaknesses. But maybe a lot of people won't care for this
Ame I trippin' or both Scottish Gaelic and Irish sound Norwegian / Scandinavian a bit?
>>219256540you're not. the accents sound similar
>>219256540>>219256563and even a lot of irish dilects in english sound like a scandinavian accent
>>219254789not even a funny conlang like Cucksperanto or Tranny Pona

Is anki the best flash card app for the phone? Never been a big flash card guy, but I want to seriously try my best at relearning Latin and learning until I’m fluent in it.
>>219260907Probably. I've not made flashcards for anki on my phone but assuming you've got lots of free time it shouldn't be impossible. >>219260048i saw toki pona mentioned in a thread one time, typed the words into google and was given a reddit post talking about the language. the rest is history.

I started watching alexander argüelles' videos and although I see him shilling his "academy" a lot (I don't like people who shill vague products), he's calm and really invites someone to commit to language learning.I am interested in both learning German and teaching English to Arabic speakers, honestly, my English interest is higher than that of German's.I am thinking of taking a TEFL certificate and reverse engineering A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2 English textbooks (like English File) and trying to imitate its style in my teaching. Can I do that?Would love some advice. Thank you very much!

is there a legitimate reason to learn an easy asian language other than japanese for any other reason than "i'm a yellow fever fetishist? I can get Japanese because there's a wealth of native language media. but wtf are you learning Thai for that's legitimate?
>>219276766It's the Chinese century bro
>>219276766>easy asian languageI wouldn't say that Thai is easynor that Japanese is easy eitherthere is general autistic interest, not just fetishism

>>219276896chinese language prestige is delusional
Should i learn a 4th language or will it interfere too much with the others or make it impossible to retain all 4?
Keep getting the desire to learn Japanese but I'm not even close to fluent in my current TLs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkibV17gWPk
>>219277748i know 4 and it really doesn't matter much
>>219278509Same. I don't even like Japanese and Japan THAT much. But they have this nostalgic but also warm vibe, they are collectivists and well organised but not sour and aggressive, they have good music and the language sounds nice>>219276766Japan is very normie now but if it even if it wasn't, who cares what random people think? And if someone suspects you of fetishism, it means that they are aware of this phenomenon and most likely are one themselves. Japan in the 80s and 90s seems to be the coolest place that ever existed on planet Earth. Or at least in the top 10. Even when they take some American or global things, they do it their own way and give it a unique twist. They have different taboos, so they emphasize different things, which is also interesting and therefore, together with a large consumer market, increases the value of learning a language.

That’s it. What are your TLs? List em all. ALL of em. Don’t bullshit me. I know you’re “dabbling” in something retarded.
Spanish is hard
>>219286350really? i have learned a couple of languages and spanish is my first romance language, it's refreshingly simple and logical. the only problem i could ever have with it is listening comprehension, the rest is quite straight forward

>>219276766Japanese, Chinese, and Korean all have big language learning communities, but part of me is interested in Indonesian. They have like 280 million people and their culture seems kinda cool. And its supposedly an "easy" language by Asian standards. If I'm not tired of languages after finishing Japanese and then Spanish, I'll consider trying it out. >>219286127Just Japanese. I tried dabbling in Spanish, German, and French, but none of them stuck. Eventually I'll try Indonesian, and maybe Russian and Chinese.

I give up on everything I try to learnI'm a month into learning my TL. This is the third time I've tried to learn a language. It usualy goes, I start dreading study and end up proscrastinatingI'm now a month into my TL. Am I going to make it this time? Or will it end as it always does?
>>219292471you must foster a warrior spirit if you want to learn a language
>>219292471You have enough motivation to start, so you should have enough motivation to make a habit out of it. You make habits so that you don't have to rely on motivation every time to do your anki or input or whatever.Since this year started my motivation to keep learning my TLs has basically been zero but I've at least managed to continue doing the bare minimum every day because it's a habit like brushing my teeth.
Learning is a waste of time, we have AI now, give up. Live a nihilistic existence, be the last man
>>219293127Nihilism is a sign of extremely low testosterone and even lower IQ.
thread go up
>>219292471Treat the dread as a signal that you need to change how/what you study. Eventually you will settle on something where the work is tolerable and you're making progress.
>>219296019I think 'give up' is actually perfectly rational advice when it comes to language learning. it's a huge endeavor that takes a massive amount of time from your life. if you don't really want to do it then don't bother. the only people who learn languages are those who have a strong motivation or strong interest in the culture. no one who starts learning a language as a novelty or just because they think its a cool thing to do will ever end up learning it.
>>219296201I don't think it's as simple as not wanting it badly enough, it's fundamentally a search problem - finding a process that is tolerable and brings results, through sufficient amount of trial-and-error. You can interpret demotivation as "I guess I just don't care about learning TL" or you can think of it as a signal that whatever you're currently doing is not working, the process is not leading to visible results or the price is too high, the work is currently too frustrating. Changing the language often doesn't do much because you're facing the same set of problems again. And even if you really care about TL culture and you go bananas over it, it doesn't help you solve the immediate issues, you still have no working model of how you're supposed to learn. It's mostly a problem of "how" rather than "why".

I am considering dropping German and choosing one (1) Romance language or an Asian language (most likely Chinese or Japanese, I would really like to learn both but it's impossible) to study really intensively. Or go back to German learning with a fresh start.>>219286127I've pretty much given up on most of them. Serious study: English but slacking off recently, maybe German, but I'm making a little progress and don't want to study it anymore, so it's like three-quaters-seriouslySemi-seriously: Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, RussianFooling around: Japanese, Finnish (in high school mostly), Portuguese, Estonian, Chinese, Norwegian, Greek, Slavic ones (all of them were also a HS fascination mostly): Czech, Slovakian, Serbian, Croatian, and Irish>>219296201>strong interest in the cultureOr you may have too little time and too many cultures that you are interested in

Why though? English is a Germanic language filled to the brim with borrowings from Romance languages. It has a lot of sounds, especially vowels, so many languages should be easy for them to pronounce. There is no simple stress pattern, so mastering the pitch accent or regular, predictable stress should not be a challenge. The language dominates the internet, but even without that, English would probably have the most resources for learning foreign languages thanks to the legacy of British colonialism and the enlightened nature of America.
>>219244392Are you the Brit that learned uyghurIf so how'd you do it and was it worth it
.
>>219305078YesI used textbooks and some Uyghur friends online and irl helped meI speak Chinese so I used a lot of Chinese textbooks too

Hypothetically speaking,Could we make a thread where we spoke Ancient Greek to each other and we are all trying our best to honor the greatest language in the world?
>>219298592that's true for the minority of people who are genuinely interested but most are just dabblers. a lot of people underestimate the time and difficulty (e.g 'i spent 87 hours or 200 hours why am I not good yet')>>219303471ja dann lern halt Koreanisch oder Arabisch, du Vollpfosten. bestimmt hast du bisher nur 'ne einfache germanische Sprache gelernt

>>219292471Just don't study. If you dread it, you won't do it. Either stop language learning because you have no reason to do it - I gave up on painting/drawing because I just thought "being an artist" was cool but didn't actually enjoy making things much - or pick a different language. If you have a good reason and you like your language but the studying itself is a slog, just inpoot.
