We're reaching /lang/ levels previously unheard of

how do I learn a language?

>>10
duolingo. 15 minutes a day.

>>11
>15 mins
ain't that a bit overkill?

>>12
you'd think, but it's actually backed by science

>>13
can't be arsed to spend that much time on a hobby, my man

>>10
Also, remember that you have to learn language X before you learn your TL

I am lappol btw, I don’t know if it matters.

>>16
impersonation!

>>15
pointless if it isn't useful. best go by amount of speakers, this translates to economic relevance, which is really relevant in this day and age.

Big up this

Well, shall we get started?
>Simple
I read the book.
I give him his lunch.
I send letters to them
>Easy
I run quickly to the train station.
Every other week I try to go to a new restaurant.
You can buy this book anywhere you can find a bookstore.
>Medium
I will go on vacation out of the country next month.
I used to watch football games with a big group of people
I wish that I could have gone to that concert.
>Hard
Although it was cheap, I couldn't afford a new TV.
The fisherman, who thought that he followed the map correctly, ended up at the wrong lake.
Because of the storm, we had to cancel our event, even though the report said it would be hot and sunny.

>>22
No one does these anymore.

>>22
Those take me back, damn

anki done and dusted for today. have YOU done due diligence?

Lads, there is only one question that matters and I believe you will gladly help me:
Russian or Arabic?

>>27
Persian.

>>26
I haven't gooned since the start of August
I have, however, made a commitment to thinking about considering restarting my anki sessions and actually learning grammar again... maybe.

>>27
Turkish

>>27
Arabic, but Moroccan
>>29
TL? Put Anki on your phone of you haven't, it makes it a lot harder to forget about sets

i made this thread out of habit but then i realized this board is called lang, so how is this supposed to go? is every topic to be posted in an individual thread?
personally i think a general hangout thread would be nice (le tradition), but maybe /lang/ is a rarted name on a board called /lang/

>>29
kjør på

>>31
btw is there a good app for iOS? i use the browser version because they decided their only paid product should be the iOS app (i guess because iphone users are meant to be rich?) which they sell for


30€


lol, lmao even

>>33
>30€
the fuck?

>>32
just wing it for now, I think
I think someone could ask about a specific language in a thread and then the entire thread would be on‐topic, etc, but that will come about organically with time and more people (including non‐/lang/ers) I reckon

>>35
makes cents
hey this way we could sticky a resource bread one day maybe sorta kinda maybe
>>34
yep. i think i remember to have read that the official explanation was actually that they decided this would be the best way to make some money to support their costs (which is partly legitimate as they do host user uploaded content for free, so it takes up bandwidth, space, and might become a liability at some point) by baiting maybe a dozen ios users into making this one‐off purchase because they're pissed off by the mobile website. not sure how it's holding up for them, but i guess i can understand it, just super annoying for me, as i will NOT pay 30€ for a flashcard app.

>>32
General hangout would be good and fun, just have to think of a clever name for it.
>is every topic to be posted in an individual thread?
Probably not, but I'm thinking the individual language generals could serve as both for natives talking in it, and then learners use it to ask questions. If it gets too clogged, then they'll probably split? Dunno past that.
>>33
>iToddlers stay losing
Memrise is the closest thing I can think of, but it's been a long while since I've used it‐ hopefully they haven't destroyed it with ads

>>31
>TL?
Japanese
I prefer it on my PC because the plugins make life easier, I just fell out of the habit when I stopped doing it for a few weeks to study for an exam.
Little did I know, but much did I expect, that I spent 12 days not doing my anki AND not studying for my exam. Worst of both worlds

>>38
Isn't Anki pretty much just a Japanese learning tool specifically anyway?

>>36
Maybe you can find a pirated one. But idk how possible app piracy is on Apple devices.

>>39
no, it just lets you create flashcards and employs a spaced repetition system. you can use it for any topic in need of memorization

>>40
actually, in the EU sideloading is possible. not sure though if the installation file can be found somewhere. i’ll look it up tomorrow. time to shleeo

>>22
So is anyone gonna do it or not?

>>22
Jeg leser boka.
Jeg gir ham lunsjen sin.
Jeg sender dem brev.

Jeg løper raskt til stasjonen.
Hver andre uke jeg prøver å gå på et nytt restaurant.
Du får kjøpe denne boka allesteds der det finnes bokhandler.

I neste måned skal jeg utenriks på ferie.
Jeg pleide å se på fotballkamper tilsammen med ei stor gruppe av mennesker.
Jeg skulle ønske jeg kunne gått på denne konserten.

Til tross for at den var billig, hadde jeg ikke råd til en ny TV.
Fiskern som trodde at han nøye fulgte kartet endte opp på feil innsjø.
På grunn av stormen måtte vi avbryte arangementet vårt, selv om rapporten henviste til at det skulle bli solrik.


>>44
are you happy now...

>>22
Ich lese das Buch.
Ich gebe ihm sein Mittagessen.
Ich schicke ihnen Briefe.

Ich laufe schnell zum Bahnhof.
Jede zweite Woche probiere ich zu einem neuen Restaurant, zu gehen.
Du kannst dieses Buch überall kaufen, wo du eine Bibliothek findest.

Nächsten Monat mache ich Urlaub in einem anderen Land.
Mit einer großen Gruppe von Menschen schaute ich immer Fußballspiele.
Ich wünsche, dass ich zum Konzert hätte gehen können.

>>48

>>45
>Du får kjøpe denne boka allesteds der det finnes bokhandler.
bör väl stå kan där? (förmåga, inte tillåtelse)

I made friends with a Japanese guy and I now have a 5 month deadline to learn Japanese well enough to have a conversation with him in it because he said that would be really fun and I agreed.
Time to goon some more anki, that will surely be my winning ticket.

Oh, and I am not Norwegian, I just live close to the border so I cannot help you >>45 with corrections, sorry.

>>51
Learn the stuff that'll be most relevant and you'll be absolutely golden ‐ try texting with him in Japanese to make all the errors before the big dat‐‐ day

>>22
>I read the book.
Is this present or past tense

>>55
Guessing present since the other two are.
>give
>send

>Сода
Китобро мехонам.

t. King of PSLs

>>60
Sure, I just need to remember better about this place lmao

can't find motivation to study in my freetime. everytime i'm working, i am very motivated to, but can't. we really live in a society...

>>70
Mood, I've been delaying making some more Anki sets cause I'm like "ah, I'll get to it later". I've been at least surrounding myself in my TL so I don't feel as guilty LOL

>>69
I don't even remember about this place.
Also, checked.
