Danke, es ist so schwierig x.x

Ich habe auch fast ein 900 Tage "Streak" bei Duolingo

>>72783425
Wtf almost 900 days.

I barely did 20, and then i forgot for a day and it all went to shit.

Good damn you patience and discipline must be commended.

>>72783425
Ich wünsche das sie auch Farsi auf duolingo haben :(

Did a week of constant learning.
Feels pretty good considering I was afraid to even start because I was afraid of failure, the language being useless and zero progress.

>>72784292
Thank you :) I set the lowest daily goal (10 experience points) so it is easier to keep the streak. Sometimes all I do is review an easy lesson

>>72786206
What language?

>>72786206
Way to go breh, just don't stick to one resource.

>>72781958
I'm at an impasse with french. I think I'll be conversational soon, but I'm suddenly losing the motivation to keep learning. I think it's cause I can speak w/ people now a little, and that's really what I was working for.

Any tips for making yourself just fucking sit down and do it? Ease into it?

Anyone tried LingQ?

their wiki actually can be pretty useful.
most of the threads are kind of shit though.

I'm learning japanese

so far so good, only been taking bi-wekly hour and half long classes for some months now, knowing katakana and hiragana is a really small thing but it has already changed my enjoyment of my weeb shit
This is going to take a pretty long time, but I'm liking it, although I need to take studying it more seriously

>>72786206

Congrats bro. Consistency is definitely one of the most important aspects when learning a language.

>>72796293
Who is in your class? Is it made up of weebs and sexual tourists?

I had been trying to learn Russian. Shit got too difficult once I realized the plethora of declensions for ADJECTIVES. Shits crazy. Knowing spanish and portuguese doesn't help much. Russian is much more complicated. It's cool tho.

Is there a website like Chatroulette where I can get paired up with random language learners? I'm not fond of using Chatroulette or Omegle for it. No idea why.

I'm learning mandarin
Once you get a hang of the bullshit writing system, the grammar and syntax is actually pretty easy.

Anybody learning Romanian? I'd be curious of any personal accounts.

>>72810451
No but I really want to learn it just for the sake of it and because the rest of the Romance languages are gay as fuck.

>>72810952

lol why does Romanian escape the gay as fuck status? I just think it's interesting that it's spoken mostly in an Eastern European country but it's still quicker to learn than Polish, Czech, German, etc.

>>72810451
I kind of want to. Might try it out on Duolingo for a bit to see what I think.

>>72811337
Because it sounds the most different out of all the Romance languages. Probably because of its Slavic influence on pronunciation and loanwords.
French and Italian sound effeminate as fuck; Spanish too to a certain degree but it depends on location.

social reject here, i want to do language exchanges, what are good talking points?
>>72805762
this is true, but the writing system will always slow you down because of how annoying it is to look up unfamiliar characters. the perapera popup dictionary extension is extremely useful but you're shit outta luck if you're not reading highlightable text
