Casual Conversation

Yep, been hitting Japanese pretty hard the last eight months and finally feeling like I'm making progress on that intermediate plateau.

Come join us at !languagelearning@sopuli.xyz too, we're active every week!

Currently studying japanese so I can play more jrpgs ;/

Japanese, though I've kinda plateaued and put it on a backburner for now, and Norwegian. Norwegian so far is fairly simple (I've previously studied German and am a native English speaker so it's decently related to both), though I'm only around A2 (a bit more in reading, a bit worse at speaking).

Once my current Norwegian material runs out on Babbel, I might see what their Japanese course is actually like, but I doubt they have anything for where I'm at.

I've spent time studying multiple languages at once and, imho, it's better to focus on one at a time. I've limited my focus to French, currently!

I should be, I sporadically dip in and out of it but I have never been good at languages and currently have zero motivation for it so haven't done any learning for quite some time (Spanish)

Mandarin

Ayyyy, Native speaker here. I went to school in China up till 2nd grade before emigrating. Also speaks Cantonese at home.

Could probably help you... I mean for the basics at least 😉

(sorry I couldn't resist but felt the urge to low-key brag a bit xD)

Forgot how to write, but I can read the basics and can type 2nd-grade level thoughts in pinyin.

Mi lernas Esperanton! Mi faris la kviran Esperantan komunomon, !glat@multiverse.soulism.net! Se vi povas legi ĉi tiu, venu paroli!

I'm just dipping my toes into the water with German via Anki and Goethe Institutes' A1-Deutsch app.

Last night I briefly tried to find a simple grammar primer/textbook. Found a candidate or two but hoped to find some guidance here on Lemmy, so excellent post timing!

Yes! Been learning French for almost half a year now. It's more of a necessity for me & it gets really difficult at times, but I do find it quite enjoyable to be able to understand a lot of cultural stuff. Like yesterday when I was mindblown by the fact that Notre Dame literally means our (notre) lady (la dame)

Currently learning french, but it‘s only good enough for very casual smalltalk at the moment. I don‘t find it as difficult to learn as some people said.

I'm attempting to learn Esperanto and Spanish. I've been procrastinating a lot. I'd love to learn Indonesian, Afrikaans, and Polish. Polish is the most beautiful sounding language in the world to me.

I split time between Japanese and Korean. I should probably just pick one.

Love learning about other languages and cultures in general though.

I had been practicing some reading in Spanish, and now back to grinding Japanese. Japanese is tough! But I will eventually make progress out of sheer stubbornness.

mentally its the thing I am worst at with subjects related to my native language being not much better. the physical equivalent for me is running. I swear I can walk about as fast as I can run long distance and for a much farther distance.

Learning how? Using an app?
