can anyone recommend any good video series and/or grammar textbooks on Korean?

Good thread, before any misunderstanding I'm Persian with Japanese VPN
I'm learning German, and now after a while I tried to find German materials, especially dubbed Sitcoms and Mangas, but almost impossible!

Extremely hard to find a good dubbed American sitcom, I've found a couple of free live tv channels though, if they can help just ask. Germans take piracy and copyright extremely serious sadly.

Anyway, I'm looking for a particular manga, in German, called "To Love Ru", the German version is "Love Trouble"

German manga sources don't have nearly as many numbers as German hentais. The best one I found was Wiemanga.com and barely has any I like. I'd appreciate if anyone knows any

I'm perfectly fluent in two and know three languages in general, and very familiar with one more, I guess this table underestimates one's ability to learn a language.

With the heavy extended content 6 months for only category 1!? Am I missing or misunderstanding something?

You're not progressing from Cat 1 to Cat 5, those are groups of languages grouped from easy Cat 1s to hard Cat 5s. Heavy Extended content would let you learn an easy Cat 1 lang like spanish in 6 months. See the Cat lists here: http://www.effectivelanguagelearning.com/language-guide/language-difficulty

I liked this one better, but others are on the article below it, their tv format is more like Japan than US, less series more different shows and games:

I thought they were levels of fluency, but still at least after studying like that it'll take 6 month seems a bit much.

Because after knowing languages I know now (Arabic and Persian are amongst them) I totally think it's not that hard to learn an average language in 3 month or even less! Am I being retarded desu?

Maybe I am, forget about it X)

>>79310156
Thanks btw ^^

What are you learning?

I've taken up studying german. Is it realistic to be somewhat proficient in about 4 months time with regularly studying? I don't mean anything like having meaningful conversations, just understanding a good amount of what people say or write.

>>79312283
Noka? In russian it would be "noga"

Toki Pona.

>>79314319
The language seems interesting, Croatian Finnish and Esperanto are not what you'd expect the words of a meme-language to come from. Too bad i'm already busy with Polish and Croatian

For vocab, is it better to learn in categories (like anatomy, directions, etc) or just whatever is shown in a textbook?
