>>220519101Like, that's stuff every zoomer knows because fucking Jake Paul talks about on their podcast, mate.
>>220519434>It's a minority languageThanks for agreeing. Every single thing posted after this sentence is irrelevant and does not touch the original point I made.

Are there any 30+ yo anons here learning languages? Why are you doing it? Is it harder to do now than when you were younger?
Jordan anon, I hope you learn French and I hope you did your daily study today>>220520052It is harder. You don't have time to think about experimenting, which ones to learn and which ones to skip; you feel internal pressure to be more practical. You also have less time to study, and you absorb information less easily, but that's also a factor in the environment (being around other students all day does reinforce the knowledge), but you're somehow even with younger you because now you know how to learn better. Although I was really bad at learning languages at school.
>>220520052I was too retarded to learn a language in my 20s, I'm less retarded now which makes it easier but it's still hard
>>220521399im more retarded now but i keep trying
Am I the only one that is using language apps to find trans women? Just buy premium on HelloTalk and put down Thai, Portuguese and Spanish as your target languages and it is incredibly easy searching for trans girls on both Tandem and HelloTalk via the text or stream search.
Crazy that without HelloTalk I would literally be a virgin, like, literally 5 out of 6 women I have had sex with I got to know on this app at some point.What is your wildest HelloTalk/language app sexo story?

I have no quarrel with the Russian government it's the people I hate
Yall niggas wasted an entire afternoon arguing about whether to learn Chinese or accursed niptongue without actually picking one or doing any learningShameful.
>>220522525>WastingArgument and debate are not about changing the opinion of your opponent but that of the audience and the silent eyeballs, the lurkers, who were watching and forming their opinions on who won out. Don't you worry about it.
>>220522693Yeah, that's what I was asking earlier, where did this beef come from?
>>220522788Cia niggas can't help themselves from shitting on China or anyone learning Chinese. You have to understand they are literally paid to do that.
>>220520052yes.
>>220523156china i s poo poo
I also unironically wish to learn both Chinese and Japanese. I'm already learning Japanese for the past year, when i get truly gud at it i'll tackle Chinese. You should be orientmaxxing too, dear reader. I don't give a fuck about Korean tho that shit sounds ugly and nothing they make interests me
I don't need Jap I can look at pictures just fine
Am I tripping, or do Italians, especially Italian women, but not only, men too, have a penchant for learning Asian languages? Anime (it was a big thing in France and Italy), korean pop culture, or perhaps the Chinese diaspora causes this? All the main Asian languages seems to be popular, I don't want to contribute to the Chinese vs Japanese learners war one thread ago. There are two Italian ytbers I know, one has an Asian gf, the other one is an Asian languages nerd. But also when I talked to Italians, they seem to like Asia very much, and in the communities learning Asian languages, I have the impression that they are overrepresented
how hard is hindi for an english speaker? I'd figure not too bad considering it is an indo-european lang but that the script would pose a challenge
I have studied Japanese (15 minutes), Old Norse (30 minutes) and French (1 hour) todayFeels good
>>220520052ya mid/early thirties. It is interesting I started learning german about ten years ago and french 3-4 years ago. I do feel like German was easier to learn and I was more zealous about it, but now with french, while it is a bit harder, I approach it in a smarter, more efficient way. I'm definitely farther with french at 4 years than I was with german at the same mark. I was very enthusiastic and had more time, but I wasted a lot of that energy using subpar methods (textbook and anki grinding rather than reading and audio immersion).

reading the definitions of words you already know in a TL dictionary is incredibly underrated comprehensible input
> learning a language with relatively few resources available in English> checked out a two volume TL-English dictionary from my university’s library> even though other such dictionaries exist, this one is very comprehensive and good quality> the problem is, I’m finishing my program soon> the publisher, an obscure company, doesn’t print this dictionary anymore> sold out on eBay, not even available on Amazon or any other online bookstore I can see, so I can’t buy it> I doubt many people would miss it honestly, and as I said, there other TL-English dictionaries they can check out> seriously wondering whether to keep the dictionaries after I leave, or be a good boy and return them to the libraryI’m conflicted… I’d be willing to pay a fine if they charged me with one
The more cases a language has the easier those cases are to learn.
>>220526174I mean at one point cases are basically post-positions.
>>220525735meiner bescheidenen Meinung nach gehört jeder der auf trans "frauen" steht in einem Irrenhaus.
>>220526171Depends on the library but some will charge a flat fee for a lost book, and others will charge the cost of a replacement. Like if they really want to get the exact same book, and they find a copy for sale for $400 from some rare book archive, you're in the hook for that. And they will probably not let you graduate until you've either paid the fee or returned the books. At least that's how it worked at my school.
>>220526171you should try to scan it so you'll be able to get it uploaded onto digital libraries if it's really not available on them already>>220526174That's mostly because agglutinative languages are the ones which tend to have more cases and their declension is more regular than those found in fusional languages. Also having more cases means that each case carries less weight
