How do I learn German? I've downloaded the German Learning Package, but I don't know where to start. Seems really impractical to study from those PDF files.

What would you lads recommend, what should I do and where to start? I know of that cool book Assimil Deutsch, but it's kind of expensive.

anyone here happen to know kanji?

>>71000732
Start with Pimsleur, listen to that on your commute or while playing vidya or watching sports or whenever.

>>71001316
Should I torrent that or something, seems to be a resource you pay for.

Any other tips, some good websiter perhaps?

>>71001666
Yes you should definitely torrent everything. Especially Pimsleur which is ridiculously expensive.

>>71001748
Also, Pimsleur seems similar to Rosetta Stone and it seems to be only for listening comprehension and for improving speech. Not a lot about grammar and such.

>>71001666
I think piratebay has the first 3 units for German which should be more than enough for you before you advance to a textbook.You can check out lingvist, memelingo and memrise for some free stuff try and use all of them if you can, sticking to a single resource is not a good idea.

>>71001829
Kinda, it's to give you a good understanding of basic stuff before you go deep.

Apparently, we have a Serbian translation of the Assimil German book, which is fucking awesome because it's like 35$ unlike the English version which is around 100$.

what would you like to know?
Memorise the 120 words
And then the grammar is pretty simple

"e" before the direct object.
"li" after a subject that isn't 'mi' (I/me) or 'sina' (you)
"la" after setting a context. e.g "tenpo kama la, sina kama sona e toki pona" ("In the future, you will learn Toki Pona. Lit. time come *la*, you come to know toki pona)
Adjectives come after the nouns.

That's about it. Congratulations. You've learned a new language

What verb tenses are used in Spain but not used in Latin America?

>>71019979
I not too sure if there are any which are used in one but not the other, however I believe some are used in different ways

For example, for something occured in the recent past, Spaniards tend to use haber + verb (e.g, Lo he enseñado)
Whereas a Latino might say Lo enseñé.

However this is only talking about the "recent past". If it occured 12 hours ago, it doesn't apply.
There are more examples but I can't quite remember them off the top of my head

>>71020115
>Lo enseñé
>Lo he enseñado
Could you give a example in a sentence?

>>71001316
>listen to that on your commute or while playing vidya or watching sports or whenever.

I must have a learning disability or something. I've been using Pimsleur for about 2 months and tried using it when I'm walking to work or when playing vidya and I CAN'T. It's impossible to pay attention or remember what is being said. The only way I can use Pimsleur is sat down at my computer with my complete focus on it.

>>71020172
Spain:
"¿Qué has enseñado a ese chico hace unos minutos?"
"He enseñado mi nuevo reloj"
(What did you show to that guy a few minutes ago? I showed him my new watch)

Latin America:
"¿Qué enseñaste a ese chico hace unos minutos?"
"Enseñé mi nuevo reloj"

So here the Latino speakers have used the preterito, and the Spaniard has used the present perfect tense (Not sure what this is called in Spanish).

Some native speakers will need to correct me, but I believe this is correct. Of course though, it all comes down to individual choice. Both are grammatically correct.
>>71020287
>with my complete focus on it.
I'm not sure what they advertise but this is the only way to learn a language. It's a massive mental task. It can't be done half-assed or subconsciously as some people claim

Yea obviously walking and driving it takes away from your focus, but metro, bus, ferry in shit like that it's a nice way.For vidya I guess it depends on how much you have to focus on the game.I can't focus on the thing if it's fps or whatever.But in chill mmos or rct it's easy to focus since you are not actively doing something most of the time.

What do you do when you have those 2-3 days when, for whatever reason, you just feel mentally exhausted and know studying your language won't be as beneficial? In the last 2 days I have crawled through my textbook and exercises at snails pace and it was painful. Thinking about the language became very frustrating.

So I ended up studying nothing today at all and now I feel like I've made mistake. But what's the point of studying if you know you feel like shit and you would take anything in? I don't even feel burnt out, but just mentally unprepared.

People also use the present perfect here, but only for things that happened in the past that have a direct influence on the present situation. But yeah you can still usually get away with preterito. but like if you want to ask a question like "have you seen that movie", you need to say "has visto" and not "viste"

Ok /int/ I need your help with something. I'm an English teacher here and I'm planning to do a presentation at a teachers' conference about how it's possible to start from day one speaking in the target language. Here's the think though, I only speak English and Spanish. What language would you recommend that I learn in order to give this presentation? It needs to be relatively easy for me, but sufficiently different so that native Spanish speakers will not be able to easily guess at words because they are cognates (some cognates are fine, just not like a shitload of them). I have like 10ish months to learn it, but I don't have a ton of time to dedicate to it daily. I also have really shitty internet access, so ideally something with good resources I can download and do offline.

>>71030938
kkkkkkkkkkkkkk

>>71052306
italian probably

>>71052474

I mean it doesn't have to be the easiest possible option. I want to prove that even without cognates you can teach it. If I teach a romance language then I'm afraid the teachers I give this to will just use the excuse "well it's easier to start then English, so that why you were able to do it"

>>71052751
you could do german (or any germanic language really) which should be somewhat easy because you know english already but the spanish speakers won't recognize the cognates

>>71052866
yeah but again, sort of the same problem. These teachers also speak English and will also recognize the cognates.

Hey guys,

I'm an American studying abroad in Spain (ignore the flag, Im visiting switzerland for the weekend). Anyway, Ive took about 6 years of spanish in high school, and I feel quite adept at Spanish; by the end of my semester I think my spanish skills will be pretty good.

Anyway, I was thinking about learning another language. What would you guys suggest trying to learn? I want to learn something a little different from spanish, but not like, say, mandarin. Any suggestions?

i want quick tips about pronouncing turkish names.
for example, how do you pronounce the g in erdogan?

>>71058885
you dont. but seeing how you're a foreigner, you can go with hard G. or make it softer and more.... ephemeral

How do you think European countries will respond to a lack of English language teachers post-Brexit? Although I don't do it now, when I taught in the past a large majority of the teachers were British. Plus the fact that many of these jobs are badly paid but desirable for parents in the European countries means that it may be harder to fill them through usual migration. Do you think they will offer sector specific free movement for jobs like this?

>>71059470
At what tier are we talking? I None of the high schools I went to had actual british people teaching english for example. (Or germans for german. We had this one french woman for french, but she quit after a year)

I think the whole "native speaker teaching" shtick holds up more for a language that isn't much spoken/taught there anyway, so they need to "rely" on native speakers to train the first few generations. (When I left highschool for example, they were just starting a russian course which had two native ruskis)

Well in short here's how it works:
Ğ doesn't have a sound like other letters in the alphabet.If the ğ is between two syllables then it just acts as a bridge and you just read it like soft g isn't there.

>Erdoğan ----> Erdoan
>Uğur ----> Uur

If it's after a syllable and the following letter is not a syllable or the word ends then you lengthen the first syllable.

>Yağlı ----> Yaalı
>Bağ ---->Baa

Qual é a diferença entre «´» e «^» ?

>>71077342
ok
do you understand the grammar

>>71078405
The acute accent («´») is used above open vowels and the circumflex («^») above closed vowels, in vowels where such distinction exists (a, e and o). But sometimes you will have to pronounce some words as if there is an accent there even though there is not. For example: "ele" is pronounced "êle", while "ela" is pronounced "éla".

More or less, yes
Do you have Skype or something?

Like the Turk said, Farsi. Japanes, /whatever Chinese variant the Chinese great works are written in (eg Romance of the Three Kingdoms) Latter two not so much for not being translated, but for "getting" it better. (As the languages don't even fall in the same family as english, it's hard to do a good translation)

Russia has produced great works, most famously by tolstoy and dostoevsky, but that is decently translated. Still, it's also a much-spoken language that would have some use I guess.

As US citizen, there's the obligatory "learn spanish". Gotta know how to tell those illegal immigrants to go home in a way to understand, whilst snobbishly reading spanish works. (Don Quixote, El Estudiante de Salamenca)

Multiple reasons. Want to visit Iran at least once, preferably several times. Gives me access to their media (modern and old), which is not extensively accessible in English, let alone Dutch.

Also, it's a way to kill time, and it keeps me busy. Am a partial NEET (I'm in a sort of part-time training bla bla)

something about an army and factions

I know that the Present Perfect tense indicates either that an action was completed at some point in the past or that the action extends to the present, but do I know when it's completed action or a action that still happens?

How do u guys keep motivated? I always feel lazy and feel like learning new language is useless because im not going anywhere

>>71135001
depends on other adverbs in the sentence i think, if there are none then it always extends to the present

>>71135132
it's fun

>>71135949
The website gave these sentence as examples.

>I have walked two miles already [but I'm still walking]

>I have run the Boston Marathon [but that was some time ago

"Already" indicates it.

does anyone know of a website in which I can look up keywords and find example sentences in which they're used? I'm learning Spanish, French and Japanese and so far I can only find a good one for Japanese.

>>71136229
I've used linguee for french and it's pretty good.

>>71136281
thanks

I used this app called memrise to try to learn japanese for a little while but instead of making a slow transition from kanji (letters) to words it jumps from kanji to full sentences. It got to the point where the stress from the sentences was making me forget the kanji and I've kinda stopped opening the app.

Cartoons are the best, watch them french dubbed and with french subtitles too if they are still a bit too hard to follow. That way you work on your reading/listening skills still

Simpsons, futurama, southpark, wakfu, lastman, etc.

oh for what, for motivation to show you can do it or to show progress as well.

I need to relearn Spanish and Japanese. What should I do?

>>71138849
> need

Why do you need

>>71138834
In that case, I'd just suggest trying to find a group of people learning the same language, and have occasional "group talks" where you only talk in the language you're trying to learn. Awkward as fuck this will be initially, you should notice it get comfier over time. (And can discuss things you've learned with eachother this way)

It doesn't have to be an irl group, it could be online too. Heck, if you play online games and can deal with ping, try german servers

Lucky you. I come from a Croatian speaking family. Learning our language is a bitch. Hard grammar and little resources.
I've learned Spanish over the last 2 years.
There are plenty of resources online.
What kind of level of spanish do you have at the moment?

Hi,/lang/. I'm trying to learning English. Does the volunteering in english-speaking countries help me?

>>71139874
>even chinks make fun of wogs lad
Yeah I'm aware they try. But it doesn't really count when you're a 155cm gook and all your women marry a white man at their first opportunity

So an Anglo-Saxon that has been away from his homeland for a long time.

What if he meant that anon was dismissed, in order to learn kanji, since there's so many and fucking hard for westerners he should be doing that instead of being on 4chan.

>>71146411
>I dismiss you to learn them
He could've meant he's a turtle and not a tortoise, that sentence is still not correct

>>71146518
"I dismiss you to learn them" is correct if the intended meaning of "dismiss" is "to send off"
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dismiss
2.
(transitive) To order to leave.
The soldiers were dismissed after the parade.

>>71146594
>>71146594
>if the intended meaning of "dismiss" is "to send off"
That sounds even more idiotic

"I [send you off] to learn them".
Jesus Christ

urge, advise, implore, deter

Putting "dismiss" with a subject and a direct object, that's as standard as you go. Once you involve other verbs, it becomes retarded, so substantivisation is the way to go

Norwegian bros, I'm having problems hearing "og" in sentences. Is this common for new learners?

>>71044314
well done domparn

>>71158127
Cheat.

Take any masculine noun and append the "e" on the end, as well as adding the "в"/"нa" prepositions. There, you have the Russian prepositional
Just a slight reminder here.
Going to a location: append "e"
Going in a direction (verbs of direction)/time marker: accusative (almost always the same as nominative)

Я в тeaтpe - I am at the threatre
Tы был тaм в мae - You were there in May
Я нa paбoтe - I am at work

>>71159291
>going to a location
>append e
WRONG

>>71159492
Alright. Explain

>>71159591
I just saw the "going to". It's just "location". "Going to" was for the direction, and these being written right next to each other messed my concentration
