Is it autistic to learn a language just to be able to understand a very specific thing (a movie, a comic, etc) in TL?
Sebastian Fisher
it's a perfectly valid reason IMO, but it will probably be hard to stay motivated without having other things you want to understand too. i have a folder of untranslated content in my TL just to keep me motivated

english is the only programming language that uses the roots of latin to make complete latin phrases, all other languages are broken.
If you ever want to be godly you better not only know English, but know all combinations of english words using Latin roots.

What aspects can influence the evolution in use (increase or decrease) of a language in a country with several languages? I was thinking demographic evolution (birth rate, emigration, immigration), language policies including education, attitude towards the language itself
state action is an important one, many languages went extinct because people were systematically oppressed or even killed for speaking the language (Korean during Japanese occupation and Basque during Francoism both became a shell of their former self, Celtic languages in the British Isles went almost extinct, and god knows how many American languages died this way too) sometimes languages can also make a resurgence due to nationalistic sentiment like when Euskaltzainda was founded and Basque started flourishing again, or when Egypt converted to Islam which led to Coptic being abandoned also during the Chinese Empire the Manchu ruling classes started using Mandarin as their official language and they actually adapted so well to it that they stopped speaking Manchu altogether and now its moribund if not already dead

>tfw can't make any headway with Russian continue with my meme duolingo lessons and read my Penguin book from amazon >just remember random words and can say hello my name is etc and all kinds of words but grammar is still a mystery >go through a cycle of stopping and starting learning again so i just sit at this point\ >download the meme game VRCHAT and head to Russian worlds to sit around ease dropping, met a few people a couple were nice but most just laughed and told me to fuck off etc
Holy fuck, why can't language learning just be simple to me. Like going to he gym, just add you know 2.5-5lbs per workout and you can get pretty far until you will plateau but you will still have a lot of progress at that point. At least the alphabet is second nature to me now for the most part, but that is really not an accomplishment plus i don't even know the cursive writing system just the printed.

it helps to have a variety of things to study from, and to make it a routine. i'm lucky enough to have a job where I can basically shitpost on the phone while working, so each for French I've been doing Pimsleur on my way to work and Duolingo, Lingvist and Cottongue/Innerfrench (a podcast) while working. it's rather passive learning so it's going to take me a while to get good at this rate, but I still have something new to read/listen to each day. being able to cycle through different materials keeps it from getting monotonous (though I'll admit duolingo is getting kinda boring) so I'm always engaged and curious about what's going to come up in the next lesson. I think having a steady routine is, in itself, more important than whether or not the routine itself is necessarily optimal. Just as long as you're getting some exposure and review each day and you're engaged with it. idk maybe this helps

Can someone who speaks more spanish than me clear something up for me? By virtue of being a Hispanic guy in the states I speak spanish but not well. My whole life I referred to clothes as "puloves" and my folks call them that as well. But apparently that's not clothes in spanish, clothes is "ropas". Where the fuck did I get "puloves" from and does it mean anything in any country?
