Well, okay, if always using the normal trilled R will undoubtedly out me as a Slav or at very least will sound plainly weird, what will always pronouncing the uvular R sound like in Germany, especially in the East? I recall ITT was an anon with such an accent.

Can I learn Dutch without actively looking at vocabulary and grammar? I can already understand 50% when using full brain power. I also memorized some of the sound changes that differentiate High German from Low German/Dutch. Flemish seems much clearer than Dutch, maybe I should try that first.

ich bin von meinem wochenlangen Urlaub zurückgekehrt. Ich habe mich in einer abgelegten Region von New Hampshire aufgehalten wo ich kaum eine Internet-Verbindung hatte, was eigentlich eher erfrischend war. Was Sprachenlernen angeht, hab ich nur meine Anki-Reviews gemacht. Ich hab lustigerweise ein bisschen Französisch auch gelesen, weil alle die Packungsbeilagen sowohl auf Englisch als auch auf Französisch gedruckt waren, was an der Nähe zu Quebec liegen muss. Mir kam es ein bisschen komisch vor, Französisch, eine Sprache was ich mit Eleganz und Hochkultur assoziiere, gedruckt auf ein Paket von Fischköder zu sehen. Jetzt muss ich bei meinen Nachrichten-Podcasts nachholen. Es ist eine menge Weltereignisse ausgerechnet in meiner Abwesenheit passiert.

The same way you do it at home, immerse in the language, read books and consume compelling media in your TL for as many hours as you can. The people that immediately move to their target country, usually just end up in a bubble where people speak their NL or English, so the actual amount of meaningful exposure they get becomes quite minimal. It's never been easier to avoid TL when you're in the TL country.

I'm 25 struggling to learn one foreign language, meanwhile I know a 20 year old Russian girl in my gamer friend group who speaks Russian, English, German, French and Latin all fluently, and also a limited amount of Polish and some other languages.

Unless she's some giga autist or very likely just lying, she likely means something different when she says she knows latin fleuntly. Most zoomers I know say they know a language when they're just barely able to have a relatively basic conversations with non-perfect grammar and vocab. I would believe her regarding English and maybe German though.

Same. But there are also many advantages to Europe that are often ignored on the American-centric internet, and the disadvantages are often exaggerated. I loved France until the 80s, maybe the early 2000s. I comfort myself that they are a military power on the continent, they have their pride, they are energy and largely technologically independent, they will build a port here and there... but it seems that they really are fucked. I can't imagine living outside Poland for a year or longer.

| **English**\* | **14 789** | **77 574** | **92 363** |

*Aggregated for countries where English is the most-spoken native language—principally the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and the English-dominant Caribbean island states (e.g., Jamaica, Bahamas, Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados, etc.). Figures come straight from the “15-19 years” and “20-44 years” columns of Table A-8b and are expressed in thousands (so 92 363 = 92.4 million females).

That's not true, there's a shit ton of excess males. For every 100 female births, there are 105 male births. Young women are often picked up by older men, which exacerbates the issue. That's why articles are popping up that say more than 60% of men between 18 and 35 are single, but only 20–30% of women are.

like, 1000-8000 hours of proper studying and practicing depending on how far it is from your native language. I'm willing to bet the vast majority of people have never spent 1000 hours practicing anything in their entire life.

yeah but I think people are so frustrated because there's a weird casualness surrounding it. you see random polyglot fags on youtube talking in 6 languages and acting like it's no big deal. all of these learning materials and websites act like ANYBODY can do it with little commitment.

It's literally a huge commitment akin to learning a skill to almost a pro level. Imagine spending 3,000 hours learning to play the piano. You'd be really really good at that point, and frankly you'd probably benefit more too having an artistic outlet and more people giving a shit about it.

Money...
It was all about the money at first, and then people started believing big companies trying to sell courses. They also bullshit you in school with statistics of how "language learners" have a higher SAT score.

You have to wonder how much of it is just the school system, like you wouldn't think they would waste your time teaching you X useless skill but that's what they actually do with language learning and instruments and other skills, if there's not a real commitment from the kid they're not learning it to any appreciable level.
People just don't realize that it's an actually hard skill, yeah. Thinking about the other subjects in school
>Math
>English / LA
>PE
>Various bullshit "science" classes
And then they might spend 150-250 hours per year on math, and over their whole school career this could be 2,000 hours spent on just math alone. Per year they get 850 hours of instruction in their various subjects.

They don't really tell you there that these are all things that would take years to master, they never actually sit the kid down and say
>This could be your job or your life's work - you could spend 10,000 hours doing this thing before you reach a decent level
Instead they gradually give you 2,000 hours of instruction on X subject fragmented over years of inconsistent "learning" that you don't really care about.

I think a lot of this delusion does stem from it being a lesser subject in schools, whereas if it was one of the big ones (it shouldn't be) it would have the same feeling of "difficulty" the same way people can spend their whole school career not knowing how to read or doing basic math - with language you can do your few years of it and be done and think you won and know a language now.

I read an essay (in my TL) about this exact topic.
Basically history and the news focus on the "political" and important things too heavily - even people teaching culture - and those things aren't really what matter to most people day-to-day.

Just think back to all of the news stories you've watched and try to imagine that your culture is based around those, how silly would that be? For actual real culture it's about what individual people trying to live their lives want. There's a fundamental disconnect between history, politics, and culture that will probably never be bridged because history is about politics most of the time, despite this informing you about almost nothing of the country's culture.

Basically this. You probably have some bullshit excuse of why you won't do this, but you can easily spend 8 hours a day reading and this gives you over 300 hours of reading time with 8 hours a day.

You won't do this though, and will ask about 100 other stupid things instead of just reading (the thing you need to learn desperately) for 8 hours a day.

You didn't tell me you were at zero hours though.
And besides that you can. It's tiring but I frequently go on bouts of reading 5-10 hours per day.

And that would be your only chance if you were truly 0 hours, but actually if you were 0 hours it's probably over. I assumed some level of competency.
But 8 hours a day is possible. It ramps up quickly if you actually dedicate the whole day to it and do nothing else (besides breaks inbetween to rest)

Yup, absolutely joe-ver unless you read for 8 hours a day or more every single day until august 11th, with maybe some anki spaced in-between. Studying this long is possible if you NEET it and set it as your one activity to do per day. This would give you at least a chance to reach a decent reading level, and is your only chance.

The trick is to just read at your level and increase difficulty gradually. Graded readers were literally made for this, but they only go up to ~B2 and then you're left out on your own and you have to follow your interests and develop a certain knack for finding books at your level.

https://annas-archive.org/search?q=alex+leroc
Re-read these until you can read them without pausing and looking up words. Also train your listening, because even if you only care about reading, training listening helps off-load processing to the subconscious and that means freeing up cognitive load and making reading easier too. It's also recommended because you don't have to guess the pronunciation.

Then move on to some popular genre fiction of your choice, for example Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code" or any book that you like that's plot-driven and doesn't spend 2 pages describing grass on a hill or whatever. Maybe you need to read 2 or 3 similar level books before you jump into "classics", but by this point you probably know when a book is too difficult or too easy for you.

I think by far it is, it's for people who actually want to learn a language. Listening you'll miss too many words in and it requires less concentration, and your mind can wander too much. Reading you have to read and pay attention for any of it to make sense, they use more complex vocab nearly 100% of the time - and more complex grammar - I can't really think of anything close to reading for how good it is as input.

Of course you need some of the other stuff, but reading is basically required to understand further reading, and because of the more difficult vocab you'll hit those odd words more frequently.
I can watch 100's of hours of TV shows and movies and stuff, but when I open a book I'm flooded with unknown words.

And of course I mead reading books generally - doing something retarded like reading the news / wikipedia articles / some forum isn't gonna be as effective as a book with a long narrative to follow, and they usually have completely different (but less) words, whereas any decent book will have significantly more words than basically any other form of media and it'll use those words more creatively.

Basically reading just has MORE and it's higher quality.

For skills with few variables but with a high performance ceiling (e.g chess, playing an instrument, etc.) most of the research finds that around 4 hours of focused practice is optimal for progression. Language learning is the opposite, 15,000+ words to learn (as opposed to 12 notes in music), so there's no upper time limit, the more the better. I don't spend 6 hours a day in focused study, though, usually just 2 hours of anki + input flood the rest of the day (entertainment in TL + listening to TL audio with headphones while doing other things)

In the pro-duolingo community this is called nerfing. It's absolutely necessary to be competitive:
- get super
- switch to an easy course they never update (like catalan)
- get your daily 2x on the path
- grind the practice review
This will easily 10x your points/minute compared to actually studying, 6kXP isn't even that much.

I agree largely with you, especially about how books are more complex and use a wider range of vocab, but listening shouldn't be neglected. If you learned french purely from reading, then you'd probably pronounce everything wrong and be completely lost when someone spoke to you.

He’s just confused because in English our Vous became “You” and our Tu “Thou” was dropped entirely.

Technically speaking though, that means in English we use the plural pronoun for singular, rather than the singular for plural like that anon is asking. For my burgerbros, this means that the equivalent of “You” is “Vos/Vous/etc.” Also in French they often use Vous to sound more polite anyways, so the plural can be used for both as needed.

>>212077691
TL;DR “You” = “Vos” already.

It's more, but it's also less. Learning to draw and paint for instance require just as much time if not more, and that is very heavy on the manual practice grinding. Meanwhile with language learning your "doing the work" time is literally audibooks in the car and watching cute girls on youtube or app tapping on your phone. If you do this shit 2 hours a day, which is essentially effortless to maintain, you will hit 1k hours in 500 days which is like a year and a half - almost nothing, considering that was all going to be purely wasted unproductive shitposting time otherwse.
