now again in english. i have no idea what you're trying to convey in this post.

That was the case a few times, but they had wanted to have a conversation completely in english, not realizing or caring that I had sought out to speak to them for the purpose to practicing my speech. It's even harder now because I have less free time than before and the majority of the people in my TL live in a timezone that's so far ahead of my own that finding someone to speak to, even just for ten minutes, feels nearly impossible.

11pm? that's pretty late for me but i have a busy schedule due to full time uni and working on weekends.
not good. i had a similar sleeping pattern not long ago but i fixed it due to uni. one can't operate correctly going to sleep that late

i remember some time ago in german class that my previous teacher showed us a news website entirely in german but it was dedicated to students learning german so it had more simple vocab and grammar in the videos and articles. would anyone know what im talking about? i would like to find it again. i watch some news videos on facebook from the various german new sources ive subscribed to and followed but the anchors and journalists speak very fast and use complicated vocab.

you can only learn langs at night under a full moon

Give me a random language to learn on the side just for fun.

i'm a neet so i don't have a reason to fix my sleep schedule :(

i have german class from 10am mondays and 9am wednesdays. complete opposite for me.

neet life is such a waste of opportunity. i know the world is pretty discouraging and can be difficult to cope with the various levels of stress that come with working/studying, but if you have a goal in mind and want to achieve something, it's worth it. i was a NEET for too long (technically not a neet in the strictest sense since i was always a part time student but it was just an excuse for neetbux) and it affected my mental and physical state in substantial negative ways. you need to treat yourself better, dont rely on the world to do it for you.

i think i found it here nachrichtenleicht.de

it's not very late in the US

i suppose you're west coast then. east coast it's already after 1am

>actually excepting things to get better just because he's trying
Not saying not to try but in this world there are very few happy endings, hopefully you find what you're looking for

if he defines success as becoming some sort of corporate mogul, he'll probably be disappointed, which is why one needs to recalibrate their expectations when it comes to succeeding and being content in this world. it's literally designed to make us fail in most cases, and until we have some sort of revolutionary paradigm shift within western culture, we should just take advantage of it in any way we can to achieve what we want, no matter how small or inconsequential. i have some very simple goals in mind and im going to uni to work towards those goals, which don't involve changing the world or earning a billion dollars.

It's French. I'd even been looking for Québecois people to speak to but I can't find any either.

i know user, ive been a neet for years, time passes you by, my mental and physical health have deteriorated greatly. luckily ive changed my way of thinking recently and im ready to get better. ill start school soon and i hope to get a bit of money by teaching english (on my own). are you the user learning german?

very glad to hear. you have good ideas for the future as well, modest and nothing extravagant, just realistic yet fulfilling. we can all improve if we're intent to do so. yeah im the german learner, majoring in linguistics as well. it's an amazing field of science and ive met some really cool people during my time at uni.

nice user, must've been a nice change of pace from being a neet

Today I decided I'm going to learn French. I've been very aimless in live lately and decided learning a language might help my motivation to improve myself. I've looked through the resources given and was wondering if people here have any apps they really enjoy and found helpful in their journey. I like the idea of having an app to whip out at work or while lounging at a friend's place to get some quick practice in. I've been using Duolingo today and the 30 minutes I spent on it felt useful, but I'm curious what apps people would suggest from personal experience.

Well there's your problem
Good luck finding a frog willing to help you
The only thing I have any motivation for is learning my tl, I don't even know why, I guess it's just the only thing I've got

Does this sound natural, user?

"Mozart, born on january 27, 1756, in Salzburg Austria, was a musician who was employed by since the age of 5 years old by the archbyshop and the aristocratic elite, having tours all around europe; and worked in his adulthood as a composer, music teacher, and instrumentalist. He died of an unknown illness on december 5 of 1791.
Making a brief summary about his life, during his childhood he was a professional concertist; as a young man, he tried to establish himself as a composer in Paris, France, but failed. After that he went back to Salzburg, and was employed by the archbyshop, and some years later he moved out to the capital of Austria, Vienna, where he met and married Constance Weber, and had 6 children (4 sons and 2 daughters). He died there a few years later."

If it doesn't, would you mind correcting my mistakes?

Ignore that "by" before the since, lol.

I like Memrise because it gives you useful phrases and I find it more fun than Duolingo. Anki is a must to learn vocabulary. Tinycards is kinda cute but it's like a dumbed down version of Anki. those r the only ones i've tried as i'm not big into apps. oh and Google Podcasts for listening practice

Mozart was born on January 27th, 1756, in Salzburg Austria and worked as a musician when he was as young as the age of 5. During his life he was employed by many wealthy aristocrats as well as the Archbishop, touring throughout Europe as a concertist.

As a young man Mozart tried to establish himself as a composer in Paris, France, but failed and soon returned to Salzburg where he began working for the Archbishop. Later he moved to the capital of Austria, Vienna, where he met and married Constance Weber with whom he had 6 children (4 sons and 2 daughters). He died in Vienna of an unknown illness on December 5th, 1791.

Do I think this is 100% correct? Naw. But personally this feels more natural to read or say as a native english speaker. If you're going for a more casual style, I think this way is better. I'd also suggest naming the archbishop by name in the second paragraph.

Thank you UAE user, for doing gods work.

I have to take some English tests in the near future, though I don’t consider it a significant study I thought about improving my English since the chance is there. Which books should I get to make a relative fast review and not so much beginner stuff ? I already read a lot in English but I think I need more grammar.

wir brauchen in diesem Thread mehr Deutschlernende, um ehrlich zu sein

Why does the "traditional" character 黨 ("party") contain 黑 ("black")? Is it because China is a totalitarian shithole, so political parties are bad?

what do you mean? what's inherently bad about "black"? can you use it in a sense of "dark"? like "these are dark times"

I'm so stupid I don't understand what 见 means so I have to explicitly add 目 to it to make 見

Of course not, you should be learning how to pass DuoLingo lessons, not focusing on the language

Your answer was definitely correct (in fact, "c'est ma mère" is less correct), you should be able to report it so it can get fixed.

Can someone tell me how bad was it?

I would say "malfruiĝis" for "was delayed", and "flugo" instead of "flugado".
Also "Li mi diris" -> "Li diris al mi".

Other than that it's great

It's grammatically correct but I have never heard anyone say "elle est ma mère" so you could you it's wrong. "C'est ma mère" sounds way better overall

Have you checked the links in the OP?

A lot of characters consist of an element that hints at the reading and an element that hints at the meaning, “black” might be the former here

>She needs a new car.
彼女は新しい車を必要としている。
>My cousin has blue nails.
僕の従姉妹は青い爪がある。
>My telephone doesn't work.
僕の携帯電話は故障している。

>party is pronounced "dang"
>black is "hei"
Might be the latter or even neither, lots of traditional chinese characters seem to be arbitrarily made up on the fly, without any considerations for consistency

i found this
>"黨" is the endoactive of 當 (OC *taːŋ, “to be equal of”), literally "that which is equal in rank" (Schuessler, 2007).
endoactive: (grammar) Being or relating to a kind of verb where an action operates in or on the subject, similar to the middle voice.
i don't really understand what an endoactive is after reading that.

>女は新しい車を必要としている。
彼女には新たな車が必要だ。

Interesting intepretation; you thought of it 'would be empty' as 'would become vacant'.
See corrections for all of these below.

>Bostadsförmedlingen förvänter oss kl 8. Vi borde ta bussen nu om vi inte vill bli sena
>Bostadsförmedlingen
TIL that this is a thing. Not sure if it's a passable translation however.
Bostadskommittén väntar oss kl. 8. Vi bör ta bussen nu om vi inte vill komma för sent.
Note the change to bör, it's present tense; borde is past.

*I left "housing committee" as you translated it since I'm not exactly sure what it's supposed to be as it seems to refer also to some American political thing.

**just a little heads up that if the subject/object is clear from the context we tend to drop it almost always so if you did not specify "her" it would've been correct nevertheless

>>Mia cugina ha unghie blu
"ha le unghie blu" sounds more natural
>Dovevo incontrarli qui oggi ma il loro volo è stato ritardato
I think "è stato rimandato" would be more common

"che l'appartamento sarebbe stato vuoto"
"quando"
"Sam era lì" or "c'era Sam"

"alle ore otto", or better just "alle otto"
"se non vogliamo fare tardi"

"Ho sempre voluto confessarmi a lei ma non ho mai accumulato abbastanza coraggio per farlo"
Correct

>Jag har väntat på dig, var var du? Varför ringde du inte mig?
Only one tiny grammar problem here, which is that "mig" should come before "inte". "Varför ringde du mig inte" is the correct way to write it.

>Han berättade för mig att lägenheten skulle bli ledig, men när jag väl kom, Sam var där.
"Var" should come before "Sam". "När jag väl kom, var Sam där".

>Jag skulle träffa dem här idag men sitt flyg var försenades
Ah, do remember that Swedish verb conjugation between wether you're talking about one person or many. So it's not "sitt flyg" (his/her/it's flight) but "deras flyg" (their flight).

"Försenades" is a version of the verb[!] "delay"."Flyget försenades" means that "the flight was delayed [by something]" which seems a bit odd. The proper translation would be to use the adjective and say "flyget var försenat". Your use of the adverb "var" obviously means that you were already trying to use the adjective, so you were halfway there.

>Bostadsförmedlingen förväntar oss kl 8. Vi borde ta bussen nu om vi inte vill bli sena
Very good, although in Swedish we would don't use the word "förväntar" (expects) but instead the word "väntar" (waits). So, "bostadsförmedlingen väntar oss".

>och om jag gör så ska hon avsky mig
"Ska" in present sense means "shall". You should use the verb in the past tense, "skulle". Only then does it translate as (would). So instead of "så ska hon avsky mig" (so shall she despise me) you should write it as "så skulle hon avsky mig".

>parter

>Bilder uppladdades

>Jag har väntat på dig; var har du hållit hus någonstans? Varför har du inte ringt?
"Hållit hus" is honestly a pretty unnecessary phrase/saying to learn. The goal here is not to learn very specific phrases in order to impress natives, it's to learn the basic words and how they work gramatically.

>Avsändare
Wrong. Avsändare means "sender".
I think the correct translation would be "uppladdaren" (literally "the uploader"). I would just use "användaren" (the user).

>correcting what I already corrected but without fixing the anglocentric translations
Shit bruh, literally why.

>Ah, do remember that Swedish verb conjugation between wether you're talking about one person or many. So it's not "sitt flyg" (his/her/it's flight) but "deras flyg" (their flight).
That's not what it's about here. It's simply so that the reflexive pronoun does not apply in this clause; sin and sitt certainly represents plural which you seem to think it doesn't. For example:
>de missade sitt flyg
>they missed their flight

>The proper translation would be to use the adjective and say "flyget var försenat".
It actually means the flight was delayed at some point but isn't anymore, hence 'blev försenat' in my correction.

>>brevare
>Avsändare
Also no, you miss the point. Brevare is the Yas Forums slang for poster, which is why it is used here. The text is literally from the footer of this page. And if you were to not use a meme translation, 'avsändare' would certainly NOT apply in this context at all. You'd need to what this poster pointed out , ie 'uppladdarens ansvar'.

>parterna (definitive, THE parties)
Absolutely not. Again, look at the footer. It clearly says 'sina respektive parter'.

>"Hållit hus" is honestly a pretty unnecessary phrase/saying to learn.
Uh... no?

>The goal here is not to learn very specific phrases in order to impress natives, it's to learn the basic words and how they work gramatically.
The goal is to learn the language, and learning how to translate with paraphrasing is an incredibly important skill, so that you'll avoid direct and unidiomatic translations regardless if they eventually turn out grammatically correct. You want to speak the language in the end which makes idiomatic speech incredibly important.

ARGHHH chino chan... arghh *sniff* *sniff* sesso chino... SCOPARE CHINO Arghhh Voglio imbustare chino intorno a me e CONTROLLARLA ARGHH LA CHINO... chino CHINO CHAN sesso carino

Chino chan ist tot

>tot
imagine thinking that would stop him

That's mainly a dialectal thing, originally. It's not like you won't find pensioners not pronouncing är as [e:]. In fact, it's more common for younger speakers to speak in a more centralized, "de-dialected" way. Är being realized as [e:] seems somewhat characteristic for Central Sweden, around Stockholm and Uppsala, etc, but younger people from there tend to operate with an open and wide phonology, curiously realizing most instances of ⟨ä⟩ and ⟨ö⟩ as [æ] and [œ] respectively, when most other dialects make use of the contrasting qualities [ɛ] [æ] and [ø] [œ].

But yes, the idiomaticity between the youth and elders can be worlds apart. That's a very overarching thing, but a more tangible thing to point to is grammar. Semantic gender agreements seem unheard of among the youth, and younger speakers often employ more anglocentrically formulated clauses in their speech, as well as not shying away from the abhorrent imported English plural suffix -s - and entire words often motivated by the fact that they're unfamiliar with native counterparts. Sometimes I feel like some people are unable to express themselves in Swedish without turning it into a Swenglish pidgin. It's scary really.

Oh shit

Thanks for your answer!

>imported English plural suffix -s
Like video - videos? I recently heard someone complain about this and mention this example, saying it should be "videor", but that sounds very very weird to me.

Would you say there's a change in the sje sound? I've also heard an old woman complain about this, that young people use a "stronger" sound.

Ich gratuliere !
Aber ist sie trotzdem tot.

>anglocentric translations
Just like you said yourself, "vart var du" is not in any way wrong (it's not very "formal" but whatever).

>She needs a new car.
Ia butuh mobil baru
彼女は新しい車が要る
>My cousin has blue nails.
Sepupuku memiliki kuku biru
いとこが青い爪があります
>My telephone doesn't work.
Teleponku tidak berfunksi
電話が働かない

>I've been waiting for you, where were you? Why didn't you call me?
Aku sudah menunggu untuk kamu, dimana sudah ada kamu? Mengapa kamu tidak panggil aku?
君を待っていた、どこから来るのか?電話しなかったなぜ?
>I was supposed to meet them here today, but their flight was delayed.
Aku harus sudah bertemu mereka di sini hari ini, tapi penerbangan mereka tertunda.
僕が彼らを会わなければならないが、便が遅れました
>He told me the apartment was going to be empty, but when I arrived, Sam was there.
Dia katakan aku yang apartemen akan kosong, tapi ketika aku tiba, Sam ada di sana.
部屋が空きそうと言ったが、着いた時、そこにサムがいる

サムがいた*

>videor
kek

>Ich habe für dich gewartet. Wo warst du? Warum hast du mich ncht angerufen?
"Ich habe auf dich gewartet." That's all. The rest is perfect.
>Ich sollte sie heute hier treffen aber ihrer Flug wurde verzögern
"Ich sollte sie heute hier treffen, aber ihr Flug wurde verzögert" It's not Plusquamperfekt, it's Präteritum Passiv (I think).
>Er hat mir gesagt, dass die Wohnung leer sein würde aber als ich angekommen habe, war Sam da.
"aber als ich angekommen bin/war, war Sam da".

>Der Wohnungsausschuss erwartet uns um acht Uhr. Wir sollen gerade eben mit dem Bus fahren, wenn wir nicht spät sein wollen.
Mostly correct, except for the Bus part "Wir sollten den Bus jetzt nehmen..." or depending on context maybe "Wir sollten den nächsten Bus nehmen..." "jetzt gleich" would probably work, too.

Good work!

>Ich durfte sie hier heute treffen, aber ihre Flug war verspaetert
"Ich sollte sie heute hier treffen, aber ihr Flug war verspätet."
>Er sagte mir, dass das Wohnung wird leer, aber wann bin ich gekommen, Sam war da.
"Er sagte mir dass die Wohnung leer sein würde, aber als ich angekommen bin, war Sam da"

Not all that bad, the first four translation were all perfect. Minor errors in the fifth, only the last was a bit over the place. Apart from 'Sam was there' you can almost translate the sentence one by one.

>tfw only the languages I don't learn get corrections on /lang/
the world is a tough place...

which one

The 說文解字 (oldest known Chinese dictionary) gives 黨 the meaning 不鮮 "not bright, not vivid," with 尚 as the pronunciation piece and 黑 as the semantic piece.
That makes it roughly equivalent in meaning to 曭, which it might be the original character for.
By Zhou times it had taken on the meaning of "an administrative unit made up of 500 households," and also "faction" or "form factions."
Japanese Wiktionary rationalizes this shift in meaning by saying:
>「暗い」から派生して、暗い場所で結成され、部外者からは目的が見えない「なかま」「やから」「集団」という意味になった。
Deriving from the meaning "dark," it came to mean "allies" or "group" formed in a dark place which outsiders cannot see the motives of.

Does De Ideale Wereld's host have a lisp, or his speech just the logical conclusion of the Dutch retracting their alveolar fricatives?

Yeah your languages word order is messed up but I'll handle it eventually. Haven't tried speaking German in literal months

So, if
>What?
That
>where?
There
>When?
Then
>Whom?
Them (this one is a stretch)

Therefore
>Why?
Thy (replaced by "because")
>(W)how?
Thow (also replaced by "because")

I wanted to learn the Canarian Islander language but found it is almost completely unknown.
This very sad for me so do any of you know of any berber langauges that have resources for them?

Ask him

No but I like going there, finding a book that looks interesting and reading it. Instead of searching online, waiting days for it to arrive and then read it.

thank you very much.

Also it's a symptom of a greater problem in Denmark: That fewer and fewer people are showing an interest in foreign languages other than English.
50 years ago, the average college educated Dane knew English, German, French and Latin. Now they only know English and A2 German or Spanish.

Not a language that is just a communication system like Morse code.

It's a shame, but you can always find plenty of books in those languages online for yourself.

Fuck, people have already known about all of this before

You shouldn't be trying to give anyone advice

"Meu telefone não funciona" is better.
"Estive a esperar por você, onde é que estavas? Por que é que não ligaste-me?" (Portugal) or "Estava te esperando, onde você estava? Por que não me ligou?" (Brazil)
"Eu deveria conhecê-los aqui hoje, mas o voo atrasou" is better
"Ele disse-me que o apartamento estaria vazio, mas quando (eu) cheguei, Sam estava lá" is better
"O comitê de habitação está nos esperando as 8 da manhã. Nós deveríamos pegar o ônus agora se não quisermos nos atrasar" is a way better.
"Sem quis me declarar para ela, mas nunca tive coragem suficiente para tal, e se eu fizer, ela vai me desprezar."
"... são de responsabilidade ..."

Keep studying, bro. Amazing job so far.

>saying it should be "videor", but that sounds very very weird to me.
It is the correct form, though. "Videos" is the genitive case (indicates possession), for example "en videos framgång består i ...".

It's an interesting pattern.

I know but 95% of the times I’ve heard that word, it’s been videos instead of videor
