I tried to learn a third language several times, but knowing Russian and English I don't feel motivated enough to learn anything else.

>>70390819
I started learning a few but ended up dropping and never using them because I had no opportunities to use them/am a disgusting lazy garbage human being.

I'm trying german. I already know spanish, english and french

Take it easy and put a lot of time into it, nowadays there are a lot of options and methods for learning in your free time. Put a couple of hours to study everyday and you can learn a language in a year or maybe less

>>70390819
it's okay to be stupid as long as you're motivated!

don't be so hard on yourself, anon

good luck

Learning a second language is not that much rational, in fact, it's almost completely emotional.

If you're deeply interested on the subject/culture you're aiming to, then you'll end up learning it no matter what.
Let's say you admire japanese culture in general, and you're fascinated by the language.

You'll start studying it and reading it for 11 hours straight and you won't even notice. This is how I learned english, I would just consume anglo media 24/7 (didn't have many options, everything I liked was anglo back in the days).

You don't need motivation, you just need to find it interesting, or interesting enough to start learning it. I still remember talking to this swedish girl back in /2005/ about ragnarok online. My english was shit, but I didn't care, I was just typing like an autist because I was in love.

I don't think that's true. Even if it were true, I don't think it's that big of a deal.
Be honest with yourself, is that the real reason why you're giving up on learning a foreign language, or are you just lazy and looking for excuses?

come to /lang/ if you need help / materials.

Where did I say I was giving up on learning a foreign language? retard

>>70390819
I'm trying my hand at Spanish, though it's not that easy, since there are many small differences between French and Spanish and I tend to overlook those.
Then I'd like to read Japanese, because I really god damn like their literature.

In school. Majority of Russians learn English in school as one of main subjects, although some schools teach German instead, for some unknown reason (as if German is relevant in any shape or form in modern world).
I know English much better than an average russkie because I spend ~80% of my time in Internet, mostly on western English-speaking sites.

>>70392523
how can you not do that?

I know 4 languages and I have absolutely no use for them. I'm still worthless. So cheer up OP.

>>70394206
You have to learn at least one foreign language as part of mandatory education. I.e. to finish middle school and to finish high school as well (I'm not sure how all these school grades are called in English, pardon me). Most school teach English for obvious reasons, but some instead teach German. Probably heritage of Soviet era, since it was for preparing kids to go in Eastern Germany or something.
Some schools teach both languages at once. Mine was like that, but I never bothered to learn German because nobody cared about it.

>>70392523
In spanish at least is completly irrelevant if you cannot rolled them, you are not going to sound like a native anyway and they are not required to be understood. I dont' know about other languages but I would say ignore them.

Some of our schools teach Russian and German but those are few and far between. The vast majority teach Spanish and French.

you should learn a more manlier language like german.

>>70399176
Here in school you have "main" foreign language and "secondary" foreign language. Main foreign language is usually English, and secondary can be either German or French (most often) or Spanish (quite rarer). But some schools choose German as their "main" foreign language and then English as a secondary one.
In minority republics they also have to learn regional language (for example, in Tatarstan they would learn Tatar, in Chechnya Chechen and so on), so in some schools kids will effectively learn 4 languages at once - Russian, regional, "main" foreign, "secondary" foreign.

>>70390819
do a very little bit every day so that you dont get discourage and notice improvements which prove to you that it's possible.

then crank it up in a couple weeks.

fuck, Im learning spanish and french right now and I make legit progress, but still feel frustrated at times. but when you are frustrated, you dont learn as well.

hit the gym.

>>70392523
as someone who couple roll his Rs in middle school or high school, I learned to roll my Rs in college by just going over conjugations blankly.

do it every day, every other day, eventually your tongue (not YOU) figures it out on it's own. then you figure it out after.

>>70392523
Don't worry, we Russians roll our R's, but it is hard as fuck for us to get "th" and "w" sounds right.

:3 I speak 5 languages fluently and I'm from El fucking Salvador. You can do it, OP. Just study a lot!

:3 Hablo 5 lenguas con fluidez y soy de El Salvador. Podés hacerlo, OP. Solo estudiá duro!

:3 Falo 5 linguas con fluidez e son de Salvador. Podes facelo, OP. Só tés que estudar duro!

:3 Ik kan 5 talen spreken en ik ben geboren in El Salvador. Je kan het, OP. Leer hard!

>>70390819
Or maybe you are just useing the wrong method to learn it

>>70390819
You can do it m8. Just find a girlfriend that speaks a different language, that will give you both motivation and a font of knowledge.

that's pretty irrelevant desu, I've never been capable of doing a proper "spanish R" sound EVEN THOUGH I'm Chilean
Yeah, you might sound weird, but people won't give a shit about a single consonant
