>>212404383 (OP)
I went back to learning german for a bit to take a break from korean. Literally feels like a vacation compared to korean. Ezpz baby tier language, takes no effort to learn at all. death to anyone who complains about learning German

>>212404554
what is difficult about korean? I thought korean was the easiest eastern asiatic language

>>212404554
Germans too hard I'm going back to French

>>212404594
it's the most difficult spoken asiatic language. It's very agglutinative (most words aren't spoken plainly in their base form but are combinations of base word + morpheme + morpheme). Japanese does the same thing but is much simpler and more consistent and easier to parse. Mandarin is totally analytic and doesn't do this at all.

e.g
먹었겠네요
is 먹 'mok' shortened from 'mokda' (to eat) + 3 additional morphemes 었(past tense) + 겠(probably did) +네(realization) +요(politeness). and the sound of the morphemes change depending on the word/other morphemes they're attached to.

In German you can just spam memorize a bunch of words and you'll understand a lot of conversation, in korean even if you memorize thousands of words it can still be really hard to understand anything.

>>212404594
korean has alot of irregularities, the only thing easy about korean is the writing system

don't learn Russian

>there are languages that use tones to conjugate verbs
wtf

>>212406801
What languages?

>>212406801

so, it didn't happen. I don't know why I believed you

after years reading intermittently about linguistics and phonetics ive come to the conclusion that...

we do this shit unconsciously when imitating speeches in our tl kek

genuinely dont worry about it. i like to read about it because im a seething autist but i know not to focus solely on it, if you go all "so it seems ive found the ultimate pronunciation..." you will just achieve brainworms and clumsiness when trying to speak your tl

>>212406335
zur Erkenntnis genommen. Ich werde auf deinen Rat hören und meine Traum Russisch zu lernen beiseitelegen.

How to master English?

>>212409452
Read 19th century British and American literature.

Sometimes when I feel discouraged I remind myself that Joseph Conrad didn't learn English until he was in his 20s, and he was one of the greatest English-language writers of the 20th century

are there any good free resources for stroke order drills? like anki but simply writing with a mouse or touchscreen. i have pleco and skritter but they aren't exactly what i want

>>212407031
Would be cool if it was a civilized language doing it instead. Shame.

>>212404383 (OP)
The meme looks like forced. I guess the lad who made the relpic doesn't speak Korean properly

I would change 어린이 to 애새끼

fuck that guy

>>212398192
Alexander Arguelles is actually livestreaming himself doing Catalan with Ease every day of July right now to thoroughly demonstrate how he uses Assimil to learn the basics of a language.

Anyone interested in shadowing and/or using Assimil should check out his first video.

>>212409935
Conrad is the only ESL I read.
>>212416772
Fuck you too.

>>212418419
Based.

>>212418419
catalan is a fake language

>>212419769
Catalan is closer to Latin than Italian

>>212419715
I should note that since he’s polyliterate he already speaks I think at least French and can read Spanish so he’s gonna blast through Catalan Assimil much quicker than a beginner.

>>212413078
Isn't 애새끼 used purely as an insult? Would "나 개새끼 갈아 보여?" or something not sound weird?

Do. The. Work.

Are the any people here who started learnig Chinese but regretted that they didnt learn Japanese, or vice versa?

>>212422505
I've done roughly 1000 hours of Japanese and I'd swap it for Chinese if I could. The end game (Chinese literature and culture) is way better and there are actual Chinese people here who I could speak to (even if they mainly speak Cantonese)

>>212422505
the regret for learning Russian would be much bitter

>>212422505
I am learning both (+ korean) because im not a coward

>>212423923
are you still learning or have you switched to another language?

>>212425271
yes
