I am a native speaker of the valencian variation of the catalan language and I will answer all of your questions in case you have any
>>
>>70259943
I wish I had any, but I only learned spanish. Are the idioms really close between the languages you know like things such as dar por, dar en, dar a, etc.
>>
>>70260087
It's as close as any western romance language is, with some loanwords because of being a part of spain

Concretely, most of those "dar" spanish uses aren't used with that verb in valencian, f.ex:

"Dar asco" (being disgusting, literally "to give disgust")
"Fer fàstic" (being disgusting, literally "to do disgust"

The verb "dar" is "donar", similar to french donner and used in the same ways.

Generals are probably a bad idea in general.

We need to create an anti-general discussion movement to prevent it from becoming incestuous 4chanized subreddits.
>>
>>70268310
so maybe we should just take away the name field ? Or,we could change it few bit. But then again I knew since the beginning that languages threads usually hang on the edge between dying and living because most here stay in their own generals instead of going to threads like this one.
>>70267517
sorry, I often do it since it saves up time and space writing like that
>>
>>70268310
>>70268587
I think if the general is about actually learning something or helping others, instead of discussion of something, it won't spiral into cancer realm.There are many generals on 4chan across all kinds of boards and while most are just """entertainment""" there are few out there which are actually useful and help people.But that's just my observation, I don't know nothing.

I just dont go to them except cum and esp, but even then I go less and less. But still, when I think about it, maybe it is nice to have containment
>>
>>70276964
The same talks led in /cum/ are led in /ex-yu/. AS someone who speaks decent Spanish, I know for a fact that /ex-yu/, no matter how cretinous, is much better than /esp/ and /ita/ for a fact. Though every general is better than /brit/

Generals in general (heh) are a bad solution for your containment, though the only good one in this environment, I agree
Just don't go there to learn languages. Rare are the people who won't "shitposting" you "out" with their nonsense. I don't even remember when this exclusivism started, that we created an allergy to responding to foreigners, as if we were cast in solid gold and our threads/conversations are patent worthy

True the problem with esp is that it kinds turns into r9k or franco vs the republicans depending on the thread. And you are right. It is a waste doing anything. I do miss that colombian proxy anon from cali as he helped me a lot. Now I go to other sites like hispa, but hispachan makes lat and esp seem like lit on a good day. Nothing but 12 year olds being edgy and fucking creepos that need to be hanged from trees.
Do you go to other IBs or sites anon?

Hm...If I want to learn a language, I simply use applications and grammar books.

What do you faggots think of Bable Yak for learning to speak Russian?
>>
>>70277896
No. I feel confident enough to speak to people, what's more, I prefer it, but I have bad experience with these websites. Usually people get too entangled and invested in the other's life, you understand. Three situations where it turned in the wrong direction (my fault, their fault, it doesn't matter) and several others, where the conversations wattered down, turned to everyday banality like Facebook status chats. It's people. Everyone is sad, happy, worried, relieved, conflicted, resolute...can't expect them to remain on this singular path of language learning and constant processing...but in the end I do

A drone would be preferable, or someone asexual, a talking plant...

On French yes, on Spanish, written only. I still am working on it.

Around 1.5 years for French before I could finally confidently say I could live in a purely French environment. It's been 3 years now.
For Spanish, I've only been working on it for a year, so not yet.

Make sure to study everyday, but not too much. More than 2 hours and the information won't really stick. Also, don't just rely on one source.

>>70279020
Good question. I didn't. All I did was immerse myself in the target language with music and movies and stuff. If I didn't understand a word, I'd look it up. Then I'll eventually come across it again and again until it's embedded unto my brain.

Well, because I like it, and my heritage is Spanish. Wouldn't want to dishonor my ancestors by not being able to speak it.

You make progress even without realising it. It can be frustrating to not feel like you're getting anything out of it, and indeed if you're not being challenged, you need to step it up a bit (as for how, I can't say). Immerse yourself. Listen. Read. Talk. Find a foreign community. Don't just use one source. What matters is that you maintain a constant study habit.
>>
>>70279595
That's interesting. I'm studying Russian right now, which sort of requires me to know a bunch of words and grammar before immersion. I have a book which will teach me all of the grammat, along with 1500 words. From there, I plan to watch movies/TV/videos, and read some news articles.

Your Faroese is pretty good. It's kind of interesting that you use "pröva" instead of "royna". Pröva is seen a informal nowadays and is slowly being rooted out due to a current ongoing purification-phase in Faroese.

How to intensively learn a language?

I keep seeing people saying they are putting in 3 hours plus a day but outside of intentionally slowing down and spreading out material, at times i struggle to put in one hour.

Is this true?

A notable feature of Persian is the small extent to which it has changed over the thousand years or more of its existence as a literary language. For example, a modern reader should have no difficulty in reading and comprehending the poems of Rudaki, the first Persian poet of note, who died in the year AD 940.

Started Hindustani last week, can't wait for Duolingo to release its Hindi course. I'll probably have a look at Swahili as well, just out of curiosity.
I'm also actively working on my Arabic and Swedish. I can read the last one just fine, but can't understand it at all when spoken.

I've just started learning Russian, about four days back. I just don't understand the difference between этo and этoт. I get that it's a context thing, but I don't see how it works. Could someone clear this up for me?

How much crossover is there between Nip and Chinese?

I'm nowhere near done Jap but I'm think that's my next step if they're similar.

chinese characters similar meanings completely different pronunciation ++added difficulty of tones meme

grammar is unrelated, chinese is far easier up to a certain point

Do you have any idea how I might go about learning Austrian German?

>>70318201
Do what you do, but do more of it.

>>70323179
Literally just grammatical gender. этo is neuter, этoт is masculine. (There's also этa, feminine; and эти, plural.)

So, are этoт and этa replaced with этo, in cases where the gender doesn't matter/isn't specified?

Hue.

I'm also learning solo, it's going fine but I'm not that good at it yet, about a2, if available, classes would be obviously the best solution but if you already know English you'll get the pronunciation right soon enough.

I spent about three months getting to a B2 level of Spanish, and have been in between B2 and C1 during the last few months. I'm taking up French again, a language I studied briefly about a year ago (I can read basic texts but I don't really have a firm grasp on the grammar or anything really). Anyone learning/speaking both languages who could give me some pointers as to how Spanish and French differ grammatically?

I've had a girlfriend from Argentina for almost a year now, when she had to return to her home country (she was an exchange student), I realized I had to learn Spanish in order to go in visit her, talk to her family etc. etc. and also made a perfect excuse to learn a language, something I had been thinking about for a long time.

Other than just constant studying of grammar with internet guides / youtube videos every day, I started buying classes on Italki from south american tutors (some of them are quite cheap too, like 9-10 USD an hour or less). I paid for these classes by signing up as a Danish teacher, essentially teaching other people my language so I could just use the same money to buy tons of classes (this resulted in me getting a fuck ton of classes and actually stressing myself out a bit)

After a while I just... moved up to watching dubbed movies all the time I guess, read a book I had already read in English prior to learning so I already "knew" what it said and wouldn't get confused... Met some other exchange students from south america at my school so I could hang out with them etc. Just improving in any shape or form every day I guess.

Boiling it down to one thing I just made it my #1 big hobby of my life in those few months. Whenever I'd play a videogame, it had to be in Spanish. Want to watch a movie/tv show? Get it in Spanish. All my music on Spotify slowly turned into Spanish with my english/french/danish tastes slowly dissappearing as I pretty much only found new spanish music.

As a result I travelled to Argentina two times (in October and recently in December/January) to see my girl. The first time I had some issues understanding people despite my constant attempt to expose myself to Argentinian Spanish, but I got better over time. The second time I went I had no problem really, since I've just been practicing passively for so long.

Cuando vivía en mi país, tenía que hablar con ella en inglés la mayoría del tiempo, y creo que eso fue la diferencia más obvia.

Lo bueno es que las mujeres de allá son diferentes de las de acá, porque sus virtudes y personalidades son mejores según yo. Ya sé que también hay putas y forras estúpidas pero las que conocí eran buenas personas, y por eso la hablé tan pronto como podía para que no se escapara jaja

es duro tener una novia tan lejos de acá, pero usamos snapchat/facebook/facetime etc. para hablar cada día. Cada vez que la veo en la vida real, me enamoro de nuevo ;)

Pienso que es genial que no tengas que preocuparte de si ella te es fiel o no. Ojalá pueda hacer lo mismo y aprenda a hablar bastante bien el español para tener novia extranjera como la tuya. Thanks for the chat.
Les deseo suerte
