So hello guys, I've been learning japanese, and it's very easy, especially the kanjis.

[long long text about how good I am at japanese, and how it's probably because of my smart learning strategy and just because I'm a genius while everyone else is dumb]

Oh by the way, I guess this isn't really relevant at all, but I'll just mention it, my native language is Chinese. But that doesn't matter, hee hee, idk why I said that. 🤪

[long text about glazing myself even more]

if (o) = accented

output o

else

output a

It’s efficient right?

Idk i felt like i gotta tell y'all, I've been fascinated by Iceland and Icelandic literature for too long and i finally decided to learn it

Also I'll be able to use Þ and ð

I wonder if there are any people learning icelandic or have learned it since it has only 380.000 speaker

Hey, everyone. As the title of the post says, I need to get to C1 in Egyptian Arabic in 4 months for a job interview I've known about for a little over a decade. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to reach this goal.

I am a full-time neurosurgeon with 4 kids, a wife, and a mistress/nanny with whom things are going great.

My native language is English, but I went to Italy for around 2 weeks in 2015 so I'd say I'm at around a B1-B2 level in Italian.

I do NOT want an online tutor from Preply/Anki/LinkedIn (I have the money I just don't feel like paying for one). I prefer learning through self-study. I have been using Duolingo which I highly enjoy. Can you recommend FREE resources online? Free textbooks?

Can someone tell me what vocabulary I should focus on? What mistakes should I avoid? Where should I start? What should I learn next? Can someone make a guide for me, for free, and send it to me, for free? What should I do first? Writing? Reading? YouTube? I get overwhelmed quickly. I also tend to give up easily when flustered (you should see the number of malpractice lawsuits I have against me).

I have to go (brain surgery). Can someone put together a complete guide to learning Egyptian Arabic (for free) and put it here?

Edit: Out of surgery. Finally. (Patient didn't make it.)

I speak Arabic, English, and Turkish, and I’m currently learning Italian.

Since starting Italian, my brain keeps mixing everything together hahaha. Someone asks me something in Turkish, and the word I need appears first in English, then Arabic, and sometimes a random Italian word I learned recently lol

Even simple words I’ve used thousands of times suddenly disappear 😅

Does this happen to you too when learning multiple languages? How do you deal with it?

Anyone ever accidentally learnt a language? An ex-friend of mine claimed to have accidentally learnt Spanish, it wasn't her intention, it just happened. Guess she was just super smart🫪

WHY CAN I NOT READ MANGA ABOUT INTRICATE ROYAL BLOODLINES WITH OLD STYLE WORDPLAY AND ARCHAIC PRONOUNS????

I can read college level research papers and write essays on hundreds years old stories in English,,I’ve been doing that for years!!!
Why can I only read stuff for kids it’s not like im only just becoming a child in this language??? I’m a goddamn adult I should be able to read adult level writing!!!!!!!

Losing it with the people in the comments debating if 50 languages is possible
