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.

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.

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?

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.

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/

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

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

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.

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.

>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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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...

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

this will go terrible... I haven't even read in French since ages
Je lis le livre
Je lui donne son déjeuner
Je les envoie des lettres
Je cours rapidement au banlieu
J'essaie manger dans un nouveau restaurant à chaque deux semaines.
Vous pouvez acheter ce livre quelque part qu'on trouve une librairie.
Not even touching the hard part.

Two: Japanese and Portuguese. I am in the input spamming phase but I am just too lazy to input so I am progressing at a snail's pace
I keep seeing content aimed towards beginner learners of Mandarin and it makes me want to dabble.

I picked up Chinese pretty recently and conceptually it's pretty easy ngl. I also have an IRL loosely guiding me and some textbooks, but I've had a lot of fun even watching SpongeBob since it's so different. There's also this one band (of many) I like called Namewee, he's pretty funny.

Czytam książkę.
Daję mu drugie śniadanie.
Wysyłam im listy.
Szybko biegam na dworzec kolejowy.
Co drugi tydzień próbuję nowej restauracji.
Można kupić tę książkę gdziekolwiek znajduje się księgarnia.
W przyszłym miesiącu polecę na urlop zagranicę.
Oglądałem meczy piłki nożnej z wielką grupą ludzi.
Szkoda, że nie mógłbym pojechać na ten koncert./Gdybym tylko mógł pojechać na ten koncert.
Choć był tani, nie stać mnie na nowy telewizor.
Rybak wylądował nad złym jeziorem pomyślawszy, że poprawnie zrozumiał mapę.
Z powodu burzy mieliśmy odwołać wydarzenie, chociaż na prognozie napisano, że będzie ciepło i słonecznie.
Nothing.

Jeg løper raskt til stasjonen. (Riktig)
Hver andre uke prøver jeg å gå på en ny restaurant. (verbet må komme på 2 plass)
Du kan kjøpe denne boka overalt der det finnes bokhandlere (allesteds brukes sjelden i daglig tale)
Neste måned skal jeg reise utenlands på ferie (utenriks brukes ikke slik)
Jeg pleide å se på fotballkamper sammen med en stor gruppe mennesker. (hvis du skriver ei, så må du skrive gruppa, ikke gruppe)

Til tross for at den var billig, hadde jeg ikke råd til en ny TV. (Riktig)
Fiskeren som trodde at han fulgte kartet nøye endte opp på feil innsjø (litt bedre ordstilling)
På grunn av stormen måtte vi avlyse arrangementet vårt, selv om rapporten sa at det skulle bli solrikt. (Avlyse fungerer bedre her)
Jeg er ikke norsk selv så håper at det her er riktig :)

big = wielki doesn't seem right, wielki means huge if you ask me
i think it would be better say prognozowano ciepłą pogodę
that's all, seems really good otherwise

"próbuję nowej restauracji" sounds like you're eating the restaurant itself, I'd use "próbuję" with accusative or maybe "sprawdzam nową restaurację"
"za granicę" separately, in this sentence you're not declining the noun "zagranica"
oglądałem kogo, co - mecze
szkoda, że nie mogłem (...) - it already occurred
nie stać mnie było - past tense of the defective verb
I'd switch the order in here (pomyślawszy, że(...), rybak (...)), it's not incorrect but more natural (more in line with the original sentence?)
I'd say "w prognozie napisano", if it was a text report, "na prognozie" sounds like it's a whole website dedicated to weather forecast, an app or something
