>>224655423Hello my South African friend. What language are you learning and how?
>>224651393get that kid OFF the field RIGHT NOW. who decided to let such a young child onto the field???
>>224656250I am learning french via reading the bible in French and translating unknown words right now.
>>224657017Nice. A lot of /lang/ers seem to be Biblemaxxing lately.
Unrelated but knowing many of you are teachers, pls welpI don't think my English is good enough to be a teacher yet that is the thing I am studying to be. I especially leave out my articles. I kind of struggle to find resources to learn English online, at least to the level which I think is adequate for me. Any lads have tips or anything?My mind isn't the best either I suffer from Bipolar and psychosis so I got brainrot. Decided to learn a new language to see if it got better and I feel like it hasn't really. What would you guys advise?
>>224657127Just read books and consume tv shows and movies. If that doesn't work, then you're just too old and you've hit your skill ceiling. Your written English seems fine, for what it's worth.
>>224657017When I can find the time/energy I grab my French bible and do a chapter with my vulgate underneath it and use that for translation. I think what’s so great about it is the level of effort in word for word translation and the structure of verses instead of just running text making it way easier to segment and break down.
>>224657263I was hoping for something bit more helpful than that. I am indeed an aged learner. Is this skill ceiling limit actually grounded in scientific fact? Because it would be alarming but at least I can maybe plan accordingly then. I think I was raised bilingual though as I could always just speak English and Afrikaans, but the annoying part being that I spoke with mix of dialects and even some less prestigious ones. Of course all South African and I guess I broadly fall into the SAE variety but its still bothers me because it doesn't hit that sport RP or some of the inner circle Englishes does.
>>224651530You’re really making me fantasize about just taking a few days to grind out a whole frequency deck anon.
>>224657418Science hasn't caught up yet, but it's an obvious reality that you bump into the more time you spend learning languages. If you plan on being a teacher, you can still memorize and learn grammar facts and teach your students what the curriculum wants them to know, but stuff like accent and making certain mistakes when you speak automatically likely won't ever improve, at best you can put in significant conscious effort to constantly monitor and correct yourself. Your students probably won't care that you don't have a perfect RP accent, most people have very low expectations when it comes to language learning in general.

But yes Gospel is my go to right now.>>224661395>tfw listen to french web radio>french host literally laughts like>hohohohohoh I hope the other english sterotypes also don't end up being true.
>>224658741Fair enough, but looking stuff up with a dictionary and forming sentences is good practice. Anyway I took the liberty too write out the keywords in Swedish for the easy ones for you if you're feeling up to the challenge. hotel - hotell, only - bara, room - rumkey - nyckel, disappear - försvinna, pocket - fickastrange - underlig, noise - ljud, wall - vägg receptionist - receptionist lol, never - aldrig, guest - gästfind - hitta, note - lapp, pillow - kudde
>>224662170Every time I try to do one of these, I realize I don't know how to say something and I'm either guessing or looking it up so it feels like cheating. Immediately I have to look up whether it's hotellet or hotellen, the word for three (lol) cuz I wasn't sure and the plural for rum. Then I have to look up the past form of försvinna. Which preposition to use here? Från? Nope, that would be too obvious, it's "ut", dumbass. Ugh, how do I say "there is" again? "Det finns" yeah yeah, I've read that a hundred times. And so on and so forth. Then I might as well check if I actually got the sentence right by checking on Google translate. Well, now I know that it's wrong so why post it at all?I just don't see the point in doing these. Occasionally I try to do them as a test, but all I get out of that is "you're not there yet" and go back to inpooting. Thanks for the encouragement anyway, Swede-kun.
>>224662878you won't internalise anything if you avoid using dictionaries or grammars "because it feels like cheating"
>>224663117You internalize it by reading and listening for thousands of hours in many different contexts until it's automatic. Challenges are supposed to be a test, if you look up the answers it's no longer a meaningful measure of your current skill.

I'll be real, the urge to randomly learn japanese is hitting me once I learned what touhou is (and using 4chan much more regularly) but I don't wanna jordie. I know japland language is hard and the locals are assholes who I already don't like.

Dabbling was actually really good for me because it let me get started on the habit of language learning without as much commitment where if I hadn’t dabbled I would never have gotten to the point of committing to my TL in the first place. It was sort of like a year of sampling.
Dabble on the haters.
>>224667011Do not learn Japanese. It is not worth it. You have been warned.
If I have English and French, what is the next best language?
How would you go about learning Italian? Is the "natural method" a scam? I learned French my whole school life so I do have some Romance background which will surely help
So after drilling 1000 words into my head what do i do?

>>224657418>>224657127I think there's a hypothetical wall where you haven't really "switched over" to using the TL as a primary language.For this just literally input and use the TL only for a whole day and see if you get a breakthrough.My progress seems to have stalled with me only inputting a few hours a day of listening, but just sitting down and doing dedicated non-passive stuff like reading has massively boosted my ability.Every day>Spend like 10 minutes analyzing your weakest parts>Work on them for an hour or two>Stop doing that and do non-passive english practice for at least the majority of the day - NO SOCIAL MEDIA for intensive practice, actually sitting down and reading grammatically correct books>Specialize in one area - if you're already at a high level this can be the trick that puts you near-native or even past-native in one specific area. Learn an accent from one place, how they talk, only watch people from that place, get their expression down, and then a specific field - do a deep dive into a specific field of study, planes, tanks, some kind of sport, fishing, whatever, it just has to be ONE specific topic that you study hard and get all related vocab and info on in your TL - this will bring you up to a c2 in that related areaThese are my guesses to get you that breakthrough, for me it came from just doubling / tripling my study hours per day from dabblecuck shit to like 6-8 hours per day (this was in the past, I don't do that anymore)

If you want to make it easier for yourself then study subject pronouns, present tense conjugation, simple future tense, basic irregular verbs, maybe articles, negations, word order, maybeee genders and drill pronunciation Pro tip: learn big numbers from the beginning (one thousand two hundred thirty four instead of one, two, three, four).Natural Method is probably good but bored me. I like Pimsleur, at least at the beginning, but I recommend drilling pronunciation a bit with some yt tutorials (pronunciation is easier for me as a Pole than for an American) before >>224673713Input

The person being told is marked with "ri", then the following phrase gets "gu" (for positive) or "gun" (for negative), and the infinite/verbal noun is postposed after its object. For a finite embedded clause, it seems the postposition of the verb does not occur. Also, the "ri" markings appears unique to the verb "abair", as "innis" uses "do" instead.

Sometimes I break out a linguistics paper or two, just because I'm a nerd and that stuff interests me, but for language learning they're usually not good beyond mining grammatical/nongrammatical example sentences unless you really want to overfocus on something specific.I did read an interesting one recently about how different dialects of Scottish Gaelic developed a pitch accent system (like Swedish), a stød system (like Danish), and an overlong vowel system (like Estonian) to deal with (mainly) distinguishing long vowels/diphthongs formed from hiatus from inherent ones. I realized I had been (poorly) using the pitch accent system without realizing, but it allowed me to dial it in more.
>>224675471Oh and I forgot to mention wiktionary. My usual unknown verb pipeline goes:1. Search english on am faclair beag2. Put the Gaelic verb found into wiktionary3. See if it has a conjugation chart or more given forms.4. If not, assume its regular or do more searching

>>224687565I think maybe there are fewer than English, but they are generally worse/more irregular than in English, where you'll mostly just have a lot of verbs with strong past forms. A lot of these come from old prototonic forms, where stress shifts caused a bunch of cascading sound changes, so the simple past looks completely different than the verbal noun or imperative. Verb conjugation as a whole is also just very strange coming from someone who has learned other European languages like French or German or Swedish. Like no synthetic present tense, and no personal conjugations except in the conditional or imperative, dependent vs independent forms. Very unusual in my mind.
You can tell that the word for "sweater" in Modern Hebrew was borrowed from American English specifically because it's transliterated as "sveder" (סוודר) instead of "sveter."

>>224673713narrow domain input - pick one topic, game, or author you're very interested in and can comfortably devote a lot of time to and hard-focus on that. Learn the relevant vocabulary associated with it and consume as much content on it as possible.You need around 13k words to get to the 98%+ coverage point for general broad native content but you only need 3k-4k words for 98% coverage of a particular narrow domain.I'm not a fan of learner CI because 1) you need the same number of known words (or more) to understand intermediate learner content as you would for narrow domain content 2) the grammar and style of speech tends to be artificial and dumbed down and not prepare you for patterns found in the native language and 3) again you're only likely to get up to around 5k words tops from CI, which despite what google says is not enough words to prepare you to properly understand a variety of native content (need at least 7k-8k but ideally more like 13k). Also narrow domain learning allows you to start enjoying yourself almost right away rather than slogging through 1k+ hours of shitty learner content first.

It's wild to think there are people whose native language is Esperanto. You can just make up a language and people will speak it to their babies. Wild
don’t forget to also drill famous people and historical events in the country (or countries) where your target language is spoken as natives are likely to reference them as often as some less common words

>>224699425The brownie points you can get as a tourist for knowing basic history is insane. I remember how pleased some Japanese foid was that I knew who Tokugawa Ieyasu was.
Giraffe (german) = giraffe (english)
>>224698309How much of Lithuanian literature and textbooks got digitalized. I feel like most things natives are reading on a regular basis I don't have access for now.

>>224701083I think I will dedicate next year to just Latin prose (Caesar, Eutropius, Sallust, Livy, Tacitus, Pliny, etc.), then only after that poetry, unless I happen to feel very confident with Latin
>>224701390they are mostly published in modern printed editions, but https://www.epaveldas.lt/ has some books digitized
inside me there are two wolvesone that says>languages are cooland another that says>the world would be more connected if only one language existed
>>224702661languages are cool, apart from Latin I also like German, French, Italian, Ancient Greek, Russian, Arabic, Mandarin
if you’re learning a language that>has more L2 speakers than L1 speakers>is comprised of natives that look like you>uses the latin alphabetthen i’m sorry but you’re boring
if you’re learning a language that>existsthen i’m sorry but you’re boring
>>224702661The world is more connected than ever thanks to the internet and it doesn't seem to be doing us any good. Maybe what we need is more languages.
Accidentally left TL autocaptions on on an English video and weirdly enough I feel like I'm learning more than if it were TL audio

I've read that there are classes of words in Japanese and Korean that kind of straddle the line between verb and adjective, and I'm starting to see how common this is cross-linguistically. Modern Hebrew doesn't have a present tense for verbs, only a present participle that is used like an adjective. Even in English the participial adjective is comparable to this phenomenon.
