Haha, c'est l'heure de poster en français (en dehors de /fr/, bien sûr!)

Qu'allez-vous ce soir,(où quel que soit l'heure dans votre pays en ce moment) /lang/ ? Vous vous réjouissez ? Vous assurez de pratiquer vos langues tous les jours, non ? En tout cas, j'espère que vous adorez ce que vous faites. Moi, il faut que j'étende mon vocabulaire (j'avoue que j'utilisais un dictionnaire pour écrire ceci), me souvenir les genres de mots, et d'autres choses.

(Au fait, ne me posez pas des questions, car je m'endormirai.)

>>70112115
I know this is a meme question but actually you should learn Chinese (Mandarin to be specific), it might be useful to you.

>>70112024
Is this supposed to be super slang-y Quebec French?

I'm learning Russian, but I'm too addicted to my PC so I have a hard time actually getting started with my daily study. It's fun though.

do you like it?

>>70112452
Yes, it's pretty useful, the teacher is extremely nice and talks a lot about German culture, and we're less than 20 people which means learning is great.

However, I've never been able to learn irregular verbs properly. I've only assimilated them in English due to immersion. Been trying to read some German books with French translation and annotations, but it's rather hard.

Cool ! Tu en es où dans l'apprentissage ? En allemand j'ai niveau B1/B2, en Anglais environ C2.

>>70112863
Yeah but I thought when you address one person (especially on the internet), you use "tu"? I dunno in my mind, to use "vous" with such a person seems like you're treating them with respect (like IRL or something).

>>70112950
Unless you're very old or writing an email, it's common to use "tu" on the Internet, especially on HUNGarian homosexual boards like this one.

"Vous" can mean respect, but it more likely means "distance" and even a certain bit of coldness.

Correct, but it's spelled énekelünk, and "Mi" can be omitted

> A német lányok előtt az orosz fiúk ülnek
This sentence means "The Russian boys are sitting in front of the German girls"

Your sentence should be
>A német lányok az orosz fiúk előtt ülnek
Or
>Az orosz fiúk előtt a német lányok ülnek

>>70116092
Okay hmmm Hungarian grammar is hard

I'll keep trying

I'm learning Italian, using Duolingo and Memrise

>>70116451
English prepositions are usually postpositions in Hungarian so they come after the noun they modify
That's all you did wrong basically

Starting to learn Danish using Duolingo

>>70116642
Ohhhhh that makes so much sense

Preposition vs post position

Does anyone like how both French and Italian sound?

Personally i love how French sounds and dislike how Italian sounds.

I took 2 Chinese for 2 semesters and basically now I'm a non-verbal autistic in another language.

My reading and writing was 95-100% of what was expected but my speaking is trash, and I feel like it was taught pretty poorly, they kinda just said "go speak" and then tell us we keep fucking up but not really helping or offering useful advice.

tl;dr zero confidence in spoken Chinese

Could be.

I'm going to learn Russian. I know English, Spanish, somewhat Portuguese, and a bit of Romanian too.

Duo lingo is a good start, but for pronunciation and advanced grammar, you really need to hit the books.

Almost everyone in these threads are either learning Russian or French. These are the languages I see the most "I'm learning x" posts regarding.

Such meme languages.

For any textbook or course that teaches vocabulary and grammar simultaneously it's better to memorize the vocabulary first then do the lesson.

Because they're fucking useful.

In English, we have a term called "media narrative": the representation of reality as presented by the media. What is the word for "narrative" (in the sense of the word that I just described) in French?

On parle souvent de "media narrative" en anglais. Quelle est le mot pour "narrative" en francais ?

I just lost all interest on my daily Esperanto, though
Esperanto is so easy you just need to learn the vocabulary basically, but well, now I can go on with my life

I just found out less than an hour ago, I'm still in post-streak depression

>>70156695
I've been learning German, and now that I'm kind of good, I've been doing German translations. I download videos, translate them, put them up on youtube. I translate articles, put them on Twitter, etc. At your level, Duolingo is more of a game anyway

>>70156695
>>70156778
my suggestion is, you should translate the stuff you like watching/reading so other people can enjoy them too

you should do something meaningful instead of just getting muh streak

>>70156695
I find Esperanto cool, trying to learn it, just a bit lazy

>>70156800
>just getting muh streak
yeah, I know, I try to do that. At the very least watching danish films with danish subtitles, or stuff like that

muh streak was just a way to force me have the subject at the back of my mind every day

>>70156893
I love that the pronunciation is literal, like in Spanish or Russian

English is shit with words like door/pool that you need to know how to pronounce by having heard them in advance
The English phonetic language is testimony of what a fuckery it is. French too

>>70154858
no you fuck off

>>70157008
yeah English definitely needs a big spelling reform

>>70157008
>French too

Nah their phonetics are pretty easy to pick up, I agree though, that English is pants-on-head retarded at times.

Check my Hungarian sentences?

> Ki cigarettázsz az épület előtt?
Who is smoking in front of the building?

> Az amerikai orvosok az épület előtt cigarettáztok.
The American doctors are smoking in front of the building.

> Sétálsz az amerikai orvosok hátul?
Are you walking behind the American doctors?

> Igen, sétálok az amerikai orvosok hátul.
Yes, I am walking behind the American doctors.

A lil late, but anyways.

> Ki cigarettázsz az épület előtt?
Ki cigerattázik az épület előtt?

> Az amerikai orvosok az épület előtt cigarettáztok.
Az amerikai orvosok az épület előtt cigarettáznak
You have used wrong personal suffix.

> Sétálsz az amerikai orvosok hátul?
Az amerikai orvosok mögött sétálsz?

"You said are you walking the american doctors behind?"

> Igen, sétálok az amerikai orvosok hátul.
Igen, az amerikai orvosok mögött sétálok

You said:
Yes, I walk the american doctors behind

In my language the meaning can change a lot the sequence of the word, for example the third.

>Az amerikai orvosok mögött sétálsz?
Are you walking behind the american doctors?

>Sétálsz az amerikai orvosok mögött?
Would you like to walk behind the american doctors?
(To be grammatically correct, "szeretnél sétálni az amerikai orvosok mögött?", but usually say it with sétálsz at the beginning of the sentence.)

Hope I helped.
