Yes lol, when we weren't in quarantine the thread kept staying longer. Maybe some of our friends die from the virus... Is it just me, or there aren't a lot of British flag in /lang/? I rarely see one.
Joshua Perez
I tried doing something different for once () and I got ignored by everyone
Caribbean qveen from Curaçao... Official languages are Dutch and Papiamento (which you would already know if you read all my text eh). If school told me that's what Dutch women look like, I would have studied it more!
Logan Lewis
German exam this morning by computer lol fml bruh
Parker Fisher
Czech or Polish? Which one would be better to learn?

I think I understand somewhat why some people don’t like their language spoken by foreigners: exclusivity. English, being the current lingua franca, is the least exclusive language on the planet. Everyone everywhere speaks it. It is THE language to know, if one doesn’t already know it. And for those who were raised on it, who, for the most part, do not go to be able to speak another language fluently? Well, they get convenience, but they lose identity. I speak a language that my country did not invent, that has been on so many tongues that it has long since lost its dignity and is nothing but a cheap whore now. English is the language of utility, of commerce, of Russian men chatting up Turkish women in a Swiss hostel. It doesn’t mean anything. My language doesn’t mean anything! And if I’m not careful, not diligent, I could die with the fact that the only language I’ve ever been able to fluently speak is the language that at once belongs to everyone and therefore no one.
Jason Rivera
Join an Amerindian tribe and learn their language.
Jaxon Rogers
This. You've got more than 50 awesome languages to learn such as Lakota or Ojibwe, build yourself an identity that way. Sometimes I feel the same being a speaker of the third most spoken language on earth.

Lads what is happening? I'm afraid now, are your messages infected?
it's too late user. it's only a matter of time before you show symptoms
Jayden Morris
I’m currently on a language learning plan of my own, otherwise I might. All anglophones are. Face it, the vast majority of native anglophones are lifelong monolinguals. Some try to learn but fail, others are repulsed by the mere idea of foreign languages to begin with. To some extent I can’t blame them, for I used to be just like them.
Elijah Carter
English is English. Simple as.
Caleb Jackson
unfortunately you're right. there's not really a reason for most anglophones to learn another language other than as a hobby unless you do international business or move to another country
Aaron Russell
At least you ARE English, therefore this language is yours. You have some root connection to it. I’m a dialect and nothing more. Correct. What’s worse is the knowledge that everyone who speaks your TL speaks English better than you’ll speak their language for the longest time. If you’ve every pursued one language over the course of months and ultimately failed at it, you’ll know this sting more profoundly. Ignorance is bliss, but knowledge of your own ignorance is pain.
Sebastian Stewart
That's the case with a lot of people in Europe too. Outside of big cities, in the countryside, there are a lot of monolingual people
Luke Rivera
Just torrented the Russian Pimsleur course. Time to learn this language once and for all during this lockdown.
Jace Hill
You found it on utorrent? I don't know where to find the pimsleur lessons
Dylan Stewart
Yeah, check rutracker. There are loads on there (Russian, Japanese, Mandarin, German, French, Hungarian, etc). Remember to seed, btw, or you might get non-Russians like us banned from the site. If that happens, I'll track you down in Belgium and kill you by injecting you with a pozload.
Wyatt Robinson
I know, but it does seem to be the case that 95% of anglophones are lifelong monolinguals, whereas another language’s set of speakers might only be 40% lifelong monolinguals. I don’t know if that’s accurate, but that is my perception. Out of curiosity, are you from the French or Dutch speaking part of Belgium and how do you feel about foreigners who attempt to learn your language, is it admirable or embarrassing?
>нa нeтфликc(e) Бoльшoe cпacибo, how common is it to declense foreign words like "Youtube" or "Netflix"?
>Я нe знaю, хopoш ли я. >Я нe знaю, хopoш я или нeт. The the first one sounds better right?
Jaxson Cruz
Should I concentrate on 1 language at a time, or would it be OK to do 1 hour of X and 1 hour of Y
Landon Hill
You can try 2 at a time if you're unemployed
Julian Wood
Well if the two languages are quite different it might be ok. If they are to close, you will messed up a lot.
Noah Sullivan
It's very uncommon NOT to declense them, except when in very formal contexts like in documents, they are usually written in Latin in quote marks. So I'd say almost always.
Я нe знaю, хopoш ли я. = I don't know if I'm good (enough). Я нe знaю, хopoш я или нeт = I don't know if I'm good (enough) or not. Both seem perfectly fine to me.

Is it a good idea at all to download a multiplayer game for immersion? Or will I concentrate too much on playing the game and not gain anything from the experience?

I think if you keep reminding yourself that you’re using the game as a studying resource you won’t be able to enjoy it and hence will get tired pretty soon.

Better not infect her

I just find that when you actually like something, you retain the information that you get from it better
Чyвcтвyю ceбя нe ocoбo хopoшo I don't feel so well is what you mean, do you? Any native care to clarify? I've only heard decline as a verb for declension, but declense exists in a dictionary, do you actually use it?
