Reminder that production isn't learning

How do I use the torrents? Excuse my retardation

I'm worried that there's going to be looting soon. A lot of people are laid off and bills and rent are still due

Should I learn Russian first, Japanese first, or both at the same time?

What the fuck is this shit, goddamn this language.

>people seem to be getting restless, hysteria is setting in, it might only have a 3 per cent mortality rate but if people start to lose it this could be devastating, looting has already started in the hardest hit areas how much worse will it get?

Sorry for the cliche topic, tried to make it somewhat interesting but I'm too tired to think of anything better

what do yu od when you realize you are not arsed to learn a language that has no use in the modern era? (esperanto)
been doing this for about two years, I can't for the love of me to get and do the course. idon't know what to do, it feels like post-novelty depression?

This is the thing I wanted to translate for a week, that German scientist who says the worst of the virus will be at the end of summer. Now it's done. I can finally rest

youtube.com/watch?v=0_UEnQhUnVM

Je me lève très tard.
Je devrais prendre le petit déjeuner.
Beaucoup de temps, encore rien à faire.
Combien d'heures de jeux vidéo sont trop ?

Je devrais profiter de la situation. Je vais étudier francais au moins deux heures par jour. Sans doute.
Je suis malade et fatigué de vivre des conserves, je veux trouver une patte frais d'agneau et la rôtir avec des pommes de terres et poivre.
Mes amis m'ont invité à sortir, ils doivent être fous ! C'est seulment s'attirer des ennuis. Des gens comme eux vont faire durer cela plus longtemps.
Si cela continue pour plus longtemps, je vais péter les plombs. Je n'ai pas vu une seule personne à part des araignées et des papillons de nuit depuis jours.

Peut-être serait mieux sortir seulement pour se calmer. Quel est le dommage si je sors complètement seul ? Mais je me suis promis que je ne vais pas tomber malade. C'est une décision vraiment difficile.

what a nice language

It's my favorite language

вaш your (masc)
вaшe your (neuter)
вaшa your (fem)
вaши your (pl. any gender)

Today I did the DELF A2 sample paper. 15/25 on oral comprehension, 19.5/25 on reading comprehension. Minimum of 50% to pass.
I started studying French again 3 months ago after a very, very long hiatus.

Both languages are difficult by their own, so choose one to learn

>they are learning russian again

Bump

Last chance to learn Italian before they die out.

Black magic.

NOOOO German is le angry screaming language it's aggressive and ugly!!

But it's cool, when your language sounds like you want to curse someone, isn't it?

Quam tarde evigilavi
Ientaculum habeam
Tempus sane habeo, tamen nihil mihi faciendum est
Quantae horae essent nimiae videoludendo?

Secunda fortuna fruar! Discam Latinam linguam saltem duas pro die horas! Sine dubio
Me valde taedet conditis cibis vescendi, vellem agni crus emere idque una cum rapis assare
Invitatus ab amiciis sum ad congressum, sunt admodum insani! Modo enim periclitantur, homines ut isti rem diutius extendent.
Si res diu diutiusque protrahitur, amens fiam, ullum viventem praeter araneas papilionesque per dies vidi

Fortasse foras ut mitescam exire bonum esset, quomodo periclitarer si solus foris essem? At pollicitus sum mihi ne aegrotaturus essem, quam difficilis sententia est
Cum balnei essem, modo de Italica amica sentire potui, illa est enim melior amica mea, prope optima. Quam tristis est quod eam Mediolanum redire oportuisset. Utinam secunda sit, fortasse si ei de affectu meo dixissem, esset hic tuta mecum
Plerique inquietes videntur, anxietas iam fit, licet morbo mortui solum III pro C sint, tamen si omnes placidi non manebunt, morbus iste perniciosus esse potest, latrocinia iam facta sunt in locis morbo maxime affectis, quantum gravius fiet?

but it is.

I speak French, and German is comparatively a little more staccato and guttural, but it can still sound beautiful. Listen to some songs by Franz Schubert.

when is "as to" used? as in
>If you think that I'm correct, I encourage you to ask yourself as to why.

It basically means "regarding" or "concerning". That sentence is correct.

does it always mean those? are they interchangeable? can I say, for example
>He wrote to me last week as to a business proposition he thought might interest me.
or
>We're exploring a variety of options as to this issue.

Facil
Me despierto muy tarde
Tendría el desayuno
Mucho tiempo, pero nada a hacer
Cuanto horas de videojuegas son tambien mucho?

Medio
Debo aprovechar de esta situacíon. Voy a estudiar Español por les menos 2 horas una día! Sin duda
Estoy mal y cansado de vivendo con comida enlatado. Quiero a tener una pierne de cordero fresco con patates y pimienta
Mis amigos invitan me a vir y conocer. Son loco! Esta es preguntando por problemas. Gentes como los estan ir a hacerlos último mucho lárgo

What do you do when translating English expressions into a foreign language? Do you look for a foreign counterpart or just translate it literally?

What are your language related goals in life? Which ones do you want to learn and to what level?

What the fuck duolingo?!

>Eu deveria aproveitar esta situação! Vou estudar português por duas horas cada dia pelo menos! Sem nenhuma dúvida
>Estou doente e cansado de vivendo com comida enlatada, quero buscar uma perna de cordeiro e assá-la com batatas e pimentos
(Is there a better saying to use?)
>Meus amigos convidavam-me para um encontro, eles devem ser malucos! Só está a preguntar por problemas, pessoas como eles farão isso durar mais

>Enquanto eu deitei no chuveiro a única coisa que eu poderia pensar sobre foi a minha velha amiga de Itália, ela é literalmente a melhor moça que já conheci, quase perfeita. Que pana que ela precisava voltar para Milano, verdadeiramente espero que ela está bem, talvez se eu lhe dissesse como é que eu senti ela estaria segura aqui, ao meu lado
>Pessoas estão a começar a ficar chatas, histeria está a impor-se, talvez só têm uma taxa de mortalidade de 3 por cento mas se pessoas comecem a ficar malucas poderia ser devastador, saques já começaram nas piores áreas, quão mais pior ficará?

can I ask something before giving my personal takes? EP or BP?

Obviously EP retard

ah, sorry. then can't comment on it, seems pretty good for what my opinion is worth

Yeah, next you're gonna say Oxford professors can't point out grammatical mistakes in phrases written in General American English...

Idc bully I can barely speak Brazilian Portuguese leave me alone

I'm pretty sure I'm the only guy that does the challenges in Portuguese for future reference :)
Não é preciso estar rude, ele só quer ajudar

All of them to the bare minimum

That seems stupid and pointless.

At the moment, I just want to finish learning Spanish. But before I die, I want to learn Greek and Hebrew (and maybe some other Semitic languages) to the point where I can pick up a bible and read it without the aide of a lexicon

não é preciso ser rude*

Go UHHH and point at things.

Uhhh sweetie, I am getting transphobic vibes from you and that's not cool, Yas Forums is a place of acceptance for all races, ethnicities, genders, and sexualities

I just want to shitpost in different languages.

i want to have a decent russian and maybe understand some finnish if possible

>maybe understand some finnish if possible
kek, good luck

are you one of those people who are level 5 in 20 different languages on Duolingo?

I could use some of this time to read.

Comment vont tes études, mes gars?

Duolingo is so bad!
I used it for Scottish Gaelic and it never even got to different tenses by the 4th section. It is very annoying!

>Duolingo is so bad!
I've been saying that for years.

It's not totally useless for some languages. It's okay for practice sometimes, but it's not great unless you have other ways of studying.

I knew you couldn't use Duolingo alone but I never knew it would be so bad that I would only learn present tense.

j'ai l'impression que je suis coincé. et toi ?

speaking of duolingo, is the dutch tree any good?
rn i'm just using it to get a bit familiarised with the language, not planning to study seriously till i reach a decent level in my current tl.

Je me sens aussi un peu coincé, mais je cherche des voies pour l'améliorer.
