It just dawned on me that I chose the worst two languages for my skillset, verbal pronunciation in these two languages are so hard and thats what I struggle the most with
Well its precisely that I struggle with, everytime I encounter a new word I think I know the pronunciation but then its completely different when I listen to the word.
Its not as difficult as chinese tones but I feel like some words dont really make sense in their pronunciation. But it could be because I'm so new to french idk
Brandon Wright
It's precisely the orthographic inconsistency. I took two years of it, and I still have no idea how it's pronounced. I ended up testing out of it with a document translation exam, because I don't think I'd ever be able to learn how to pronounce it.
Camden Reyes
which language has the most orthography-pronunciation dissonance and why is it danish?
Juan Green
Check out Faroese, it's a solid contendor.

Gabriel Kelly
Yeah, it turns out that your native language is actually easier than one you study in university.
Carter Sanchez
but youre already used to writing in a retarded way and you learned that after you learned to speak, i think you can do it if you tried. french isnt as difficult as people think it is pronunciation wise.

Are there sites that provide something like the /lang/ daily language challenge other than /lang/?

>Are there sites that provide something like the /lang/ daily language challenge other than /lang/? Don't think so, but a more productive use of your time would be to translate content in your tl like news, or better yet make your own challenge with sentences that you feel like your will use.

Oh fugg I just discovered libgen today and it's like hitting a goldmine of compelling contents
Yeah, but it's fun translating on here and getting feedback and stuff
Oliver Reed
Personally I would put Esperanto in the mega-soy category

>language = flag why can't they stop doing this already
Michael Walker
What's wrong with it?
Caleb Myers
A language isn't always confined to one country and a country doesn't always have one language. Flag = language is stupid as shit.
Jordan Carter
Languages on themselves don’t have a visual representation, putting flags next to the language name is the simplest way to liven up the course list page (and make it easier to navigate).

What? Are you retarded? Flags are their to represent the language's origins in which they evolved, they're tied to their history and culture, sure French is spoken in Africa, but it was passed down by France, same for America, they've made a cultural impact around the world by identifying and communicating through English, Mexico has more Spanish speakers than Spain but it's still where It was passed down to us, and It's the same for every flag, because every country identifies with a prominent language in which they are born and raised with. As for countries that speak more than 1 language, I'm sure that at least one of them is much more spoken than others and even if they do such thing It's not like it's thanks them the language keeps being spoken by others when there are popular and bigger countries that do said thing with more efficiency.
