/lang/ - Language Learning General

I can't motivate myself to learn any language anymore. I've some basic knowledge of German and French but can't seem to motivate myself. Would you guys share something motivational about learning a language?

Türkiye "corona" kulübüne dahil oldu

Can someone explain
Haber de +verb
Like "Has de ver"
Also,I'm not quite sure how les/Los work

>THE runic alphabet
That implies there's only one, user.
Also, ask me about Vikang runes.

Not him, but I'll ask you about runes for two reasons:
1. I have a slight interest even though it has nothing to do with my TL.
2. I want you to feel validated. :>

"Has de ver" = You have to/must/will see.
It's an outdated construction that almost nobody uses.

>watching Korean animal rescue videos with subtitles in my tl
i don't know why youtube recommends me those but hey reading practice is reading practice

Oh,like 1960s old?That's the time period I heard it from

Canadá entrou-se no clube de Corona agora

Absolutely based, even though you didn't ask anything.

sounds similar to "ter de" in Portuguese, except instead of haver (haber in Spanish), they use ter (tener)
but I'm a real noob so I don't know if that's formal or not

I love Chino chan

mm yes chino chan... I LOVE CHINO CHAN ARGHHHHHHHHH CHINO CHAN I WANT TO FUCK CHINO

Bump

What's the difference between phonetics and phonology?

Phonetics deals with the physical properties of speech sounds while phonology is the study of the abstraction conceptualization of speech sounds.
Phonetics -> phones (the things you say)
Phonology -> phonemes (the sounds you learn)

Interesting. Thank you

Aren't there like three? I'm learning the Anglo-Saxon one and the Old Runic one. The younger Runic alphabet has like three different versions.

Kiu /esperantisto/ ĉi tie?

>Aren't there like three?
There are lots for various intentions and purposes, just like the Latin alphabet comes in a myriad of variations for different purposes (ie different languages).

>and the Old Runic one
W-what?

>The younger Runic alphabet has like three different versions.
I don't know what this means.

>to correct them
as in, well, of course GT/reverso doesn't make them 100% correct, but to correct any obvious/dumb mistakes, i suppose.

>Have an actual, valid reason to learn French
>Want to learn Russian
Why does my brain do this?

>I hope everything goes well
Spero che va tutto bene
>she's so pretty
Lei è cosí bella
>I will pick her up at 8pm
La prendo alle otto di notte/venti
>her name is Angie
Il suo nome è Angie

Medio
>"wow, you look absolutely stunning, I must be the luckiest man alive"
wow, sei assolutamente sbalorditiva, devo essere l'uomo più fortunato del mondo
>we drove along main street until we arrived at our destination, it was a comfy little restaurant
abbiamo guidato tra la strada principale finchè siamo arrivati alla nostra destinazione, era un piccolo ristorante confortevole
>"ill have a steak with a side of vegetables, also a bottle of red wine for the table"
prendo una bistecca con le verdure, anche/e una bottiglia de vino rosso per la tavola
>I hope she orders something cheap, I haven't gotten my latest paycheck yet
spero che ordini qualcosa econimica, non ho ancora ricevuto il mio ultimo stipendio

Difficile
>"the meal was fantastic wasn't it Angie?" (The only thing that would have made it better would be if it hadn't cost 84[country's currency])
Il pasto è stato fantastico, certo, Angie? L'unica cosa che lo avrebbe reso migliore sarebbe se non aveva costato ottantaquattro euri.
>as we walked along the lake shore looking out at the scenic view of city lights in the distance and having the most interesting conversation, she began to feel tired and asked if we could rest on a bench for a while
Mentre camminavamo per la sponda del lago, guardiando le viste panoramiche delle luci della città nella distanza e tenendo la converza più interessante, lei si è sentita stanca e chiese se potrebammo riposare nella panchina

I hope my italian friends are doing okay with the covid.

Sets of runes are not the same as assignments/uses of those runes, which differed even in the same people at different times and places.

>Zij is zo mooi
Ze is zo mooi
You should only use 'zij' if you want to stress that it's her that's beautiful and not her brother or something. That being said, I've read and heard A LOT of Dutchmen use the stressed variants of pronouns in unstressed positions, so this it could be that this is a change not yet reflected in the official grammar.
>om acht uur's avond
om acht uur 's avonds

What does this mean?

Because of the Corona hamster shopping, the boards receive fewer donations. That presents a completely new problem for politicians, as they alone must care for poor people

????

>emailed linguistics professor asking about first assignment
>feel like an absolute failure and dumbarse and that im going to fail the course
>he replied that my work was very concise and accurate
that's quite a relief.

Because of Coronavirus panic buying: Fewer donations for food banks.

A new problem for the political class as they have to concern themselves with poor people.

I have two questions for English natives:

Is "homespun" somewhat derogatory? Eg: is a "homespun theory" considered invalid or not worth someone's attention?

What is more offensive: to tell someone to scuttle away or to slither away? Actually, are these offensive at all?

Ah because people are panicking like hamsters

I'm not sure. It's a well known figure of speech in German.

>Is "homespun" somewhat derogatory?
I've never heard that word used before. Home-spun. I would presume this would be synonymous to "amateur" or "non-professional."
>What is more offensive: to tell someone to scuttle away or to slither away? Actually, are these offensive at all?
Scuttle is what an insect does. Slither is what a snake does. Nobody ever uses these as insults, though.

I'm thinking of learning dutch and later going forward to german. Will it make my life easier when picking german or it won't make that much of a difference?
