You'd be studying things your brain comes up with, basically learning things you already know or just complete nonsense.

that pic is based on the old unupdated FSI ranking, which should be taken with some salt either way. also German is more closely related to English than Romance languages.
I suspect the main time factor for German is all the Germanic vocab English has replaced. but Scandi languages also have many words from Germanic I think, as well as Old Norse which English barely has words from. so maybe their grammar is closer to English?
Romanian seems to be an oddball as far as Romance languages go, so I doubt it's really as easy as the others. cool though, by all means go for it.

Fuck, I always overlooked this idiocy, mixing some nebulous "culture" with characteristics of language itself (though it's really obvious on second thought that only this can be the reason they single out Arabic, Mandarin and Japanese out of all the diverse multitude of Eurasian languages). Now I have a legitimate reason to poke into when saying this scheme is pure retardation riddled with stereotypes unrelated to language learning and doesn't even work for its intended purpose - telling English monolinguals approximate time to learn a given language, like with the american above.

I'll just remind you CIA experimented with paranormal abilities for some time, and there's an ongoing scandal in USA on Pentagon researching UFOs. Actual serious military institutions my ass. No one is safe from stupidity, so rely on your own judgement on what can be trusted and what is biased and/or scientifically unfounded dumb bullshit.

They arent the only ones who know culture is a fundamental part of language, only amateurs with a dunning krugger syndrome like you think it doesnt matter

>Now I have a legitimate reason
Your feelings about what matters in learning languages is not a legitimate reason you moron, hard data is and this is what they have. Im tired of you imbeciles spewing your feelings and mental diarrhea as if they were solid theories with years of data and experience.

>to poke into when saying this scheme is pure retardation riddled with stereotypes unrelated to language learning and doesn't even work for its intended purpose - telling English monolinguals approximate time to learn a given language, like with the american above
That chart is the average time they recorded that it took English natives to learn those languages to the point of passing their exams, it has nothing to do with speculations like yours, tbey dont base that time on their feelings and mental farts like you.

Something doesnt stop being true just because you dont like it. Truth hurts after all, and that's why I think idiots like you like to believe that chart is fallse. It brings you back to reality and shatters your illusions of learning languages.
>>187567705
>I'll just remind you CIA experimented with paranormal abilities for some time
And? Are you one of those know-it-all morons who think they know everything about anything and their opinion is more important than empirical data and testing in general? Fucking idiot.

Even so, it's a false equivalency. FSI is a language institute, it's not CIA.
>>
>>187567965
>can we stop reposting the FSI map EVERY SINGLE FUCKING THREAD and then having the SAME DISCUSSION EVERY TIME
Until you bring a better chart also based on empirical data, that is, time people actually took to learn those languages, no, that chart will continue to be posted to break the delusional people dreams here.

Linguistic comparisons and speculations on how long you would like a language to take to learn is completely irrelevant compared to documented time to learn those languages.

On a related note, i hate idealists so fucking much, long live empiricism.

Overall pretty good, but it was definitely very easy. I found that many of the bold words had obvious meanings, while some words I didn't know were not bold.
With an e-reader it's annoying to skip between the wordlist and the story, I found myself just using my phone to look up unknown words.
Don't bother with the multiple choice questions, it's easy to know whether or not you understood the stories without them. The stories themselves were fairly entertaining but I'm not sure how much my reading actually improved.
I will read the intermediate stories next.

>Schach ist ein Sport, der viele Strategien, Logik und Konzentration beinhaltet.
"viele Strategien" (many strategies) kann man so sagen, aber besser klingt hier "viel Strategie" (a lot of strategy). Dein Satz klingt ein bisschen komisch, weil man denken würde "viele" bezieht sich auf alle nachfolgenden Nomen, aber nur "Strategien" ist hier im Plural.

Hello again scorners, scoffers, deriders, contemners and mockers. Greetings to any good people left.

I just passed by to let you know I'm already at Stage 4 in the Dreaming Spanish roadmap. Only 3 stages left. I had my first dream in Spanish too.

I can already watch Peppa Pig efficiently and that's what I'll do, though I can also watch VisualEconomik and understand more than 80% of it
https://youtu.be/MIKIyRyIVE8

Time to marathon all 5 seasons of Peppa Pig in Castellano. If there's any good person here, please give me some link to watch season 6 and 7 as well.

The rest of you, have fun with your language learning, don't give up, I want to see your results a year from now.

Es war nicht einfach und ich musste viel darüber nachdenken. Aber, ein Müttersprachler sagte, dass er stolz auf mich war. Das war sehr nett von ihm.

Schreiben, eigentlich, kommt mir viel einfacher als Sprechen. Das ist ein Zeichnet, dass ich die Worte nicht wirklich erwerbt habe. Na ja, nicht jetzt, aber ich beeile mich nicht. Es gibt Zeit. Es ist nicht so, als ich ein Prüfung oder was zu bestehen muss. Langsam und ganz ruhig.

Ah, there you go, the first derider replies.
Go get a C2 certificate in Norwegian or Dutch right now if it's that easy. It's just a dialect of Germanic, no? Should be a piece of cake.
I can give at least a dozen examples of Spanish that would be incomprehensible for other Romance speakers, even Brazilians. I notice people who never achieved native-level in any language close to theirs underestimate what that entails.
>>
>>187580590
Obviously. I guarantee not a single Romance speaker here (besides Italians, maybe) would be able to understand 100% of what Ibai says, or what these guys are saying
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOFEK9gvU74

Conversely, I could speak in Portuguese in a way I can guarantee no Romance speaker other than a Brazilian would understand. I just had an interaction where I spoke at 600 WPM (10 words in 1 second), and it was a completely natural and effortless interaction between natives, so those speedy dialogues are very common.

Oh I didn't see your message, sorry.

I have to tell you that Spanish will take just a little less than German for you since Serbian isn't a similar language to Spanish either. There is more beginner content in Spanish though, so it might be easier.

Ja, vielleicht ist das so. Ich wundere mich, ob die Muttersprache meiner Mutter etwas damit zu tun hat.

Danke. Das war ungefähr 4 Jahre nachdem ich angefangen habe Japanisch zu lernen, aber ich würde schätzen dass ich nach 2-3 Jahren fließend sprechen konnte. Meine Methode war anfangs sehr klassisch mit Lehrbuch und nachdem ich die Grundkenntnisse hatte, habe ich angefangen viele Bücher in Japanisch zu lesen und allgemein die Sprache auf mich einwirken zu lassen durch japanische Medien im Internet oder Chats mit Muttersprachlern, etc.

>>
>>187597958
actually now that i think of it you were probably using wet as a noun the way you would use 'the heat', which is very unnatural and possibly wrong (at the very least, outdated)- in that case it'd be 'in'

i can't really think of a single noun that just conveys the state of wetness, your best bet is probably just 'tires that grip in wet weather'

Italian and Spanish accents in general. Russian too (I assume all slavs and balkans would sound great in Portuguese). Arabic too, they have a particular way of speaking PT-BR but it isn't bad at all. European Portuguese have an amazing accent too, I met one and thought she was Brazilian. Japanese people speaking Portuguese don't sound bad at all either, it seems to be a very comfortable language to them, they also have a unique way of speaking you can't really notice of you haven't lived around them. Koreans sound similar as I found out recently ( https://youtu.be/3TeNiq1zXBI ).

French sounds comical (Érick Jacquin for example), American sounds comical (everyone knows how to imitate them), Israeli sounds scary. Chinese sounds comical (stereotypes because of this like ching chong ching ping pong ping). Germans sounds comical ( https://youtu.be/idmhtDO1sAA )

I say comical in a light sense, people won't mistreat you for your accent (unless youre chinese), we all like you for trying to learn our language anyway, no matter how you sound.

This is complete nonsense, you're better off learning from natives via TV than from classes. There are plenty of people who have went to classes or lived in a foreign country for years and can hardly speak their TL.

>This is complete nonsense, you're better off learning from natives via TV than from classes. There are plenty of people who have went to classes or lived in a foreign country for years and can hardly speak their TL.
I'm not speaking about classes, but just having "a life" and actually interacting with people in their native language. If the natives don't actually want to speak to you because you're a basement dweller or you don't have access to some natives who tolerate you for other reasons, it's gonna be tougher to actually learn a language.
>or lived in a foreign country for years and can hardly speak their TL.

>>187604544
>https://www.antimoon.com/other/myths.htm
It's just a bunch of trivialities and strawmen in my opinion. Obviously just being in a foreign country does not make you learn the language "automatically", you have to put in the effort and have to be prepared, study, and do deliberate practice.
Of course reading and writing are really important, but that's generally the prerequisite. Nobody says it's a good idea to learn just by speaking. But the reading and writing part is the easy part, because you can do that in alone your basement. Even then, it's easier to read regularly when you're actually in the foreign country (libraries and so on), and you'll also be passively exposed to signs, advertisements, flyers and other media all day. That's also input.
I really don't get what you're trying to say.

Hey, accent phobia is holding me back. I would've studied 10 times faster if I didn't dwell so hard on the accent.
When to care and when not to care about saying something like a native?
I deliberately go to "wast el-balad" (downtown) in Amman and walk around tourist spots and see Arab tourist guides/store owners speak English to tourists and their accent is God damn awful that the British/American/European tourists just smile and act nice to not offend the Arab talker.
It's not just that their accent is bad, wrong pronunciation too.
I don't want to end up like them, but I can't waste 90% of my time perfecting my accent.
I got OCD or something.

Learn some IPA and phonology. Make sure you can produce and recognize sounds and stress in isolation. Then listen to a ton of native speech.

he could have studied (some) grammar from the start but he did ankigooning instead and now has 10000(?) words that he can't put together into a correct sentence

seems a little counterintuitive does it not

Grammar is something to deal with when you can read the example sentences without needing a translation.
>>
>>187618846
how will you be able to read example sentences if you don't know grammar doe
>>
>>187618946
Video guides and articles for the immediate gaps you're missing.

It's a completely different experience going back to a grammar book after a few months armed with the vocabulary and basic explanations rather than depending on the translation to highlight the grammatical feature and its explanation. Unironically I wouldn't recommend 'studying' grammar until you've consumed enough of the language for a set period
>>
>>187618846
You don't need to know thousands of words to read example sentences thoughever
>>
>>187619148
how is reading a Spanish description of say el imperfecto any different to reading the English description
the only point you have is relying on a translation, which you won't need if you do any vocab study before opening the book because they make those example sentences as simple as possible

Verb tenses are different, they're an essential feature which is required in order to grasp the meaning of a sentence and should be learnt without any complexity (video guides). But the complexities of a language's grammar can only really be grasped when you're confident in reading said rules without needing a translation. Likewise, it's the same for word definitions. Once you no longer need a translation dictionary and simply a dixtionary in your TL you know you're at the stage where you're ready to learn the nuances of the language.

Besides, there's another issue of feeling confident in your own ability when you can translate the example sentences without need of a translation.

>>187619627
You're no longer thinking using your native language rules, you no longer depend on the translation to infer the logic and are ready to grasp it as is.

This should be one of the first aims for anyone learning their TL to be honest, and I've seen it said in the past.

>>187619660
"Soy gordo" has twice as many results in google than "Estoy gordo", though.
Limiting the search to .es sites seems to have a similar amount of results.

I was on a date last year and somehow french came up and the girl was impressed I knew so much about it (not really but to her) and excitedly said something to the effect "Oh wow you can speak french"

The look of disappointment when I said no but I actually can speak german...

Any tip to self-learn the speaking part of a German B1-B2 test? Say, Goethe.
So, not real fluency, just to pass the test.
I tried joining a German learning discord, but most of the people in the voice chat are Pajeets.
Language exchange is difficult, because Indonesian is not a popular target language, and I'm a male.
Paid speaking practice group like Deutsch Gym doesn't fit my schedule.

people usually say estoy godo because they believe they can get thinner
soy gordo would therefore mean "i am fat in nature" so unless youre a fat unmoveable whale you would say estoy gordo

Danke, brüdi. Du bist eigentlich der netteste Kerl in diesem Faden. Ich mache mir keinen Stress, weil ich weiß, dass ich mehr Stunden Input brauche. Obwohl, es ist mir peinlich Fehler zu machen, akzeptiere ich, dass es Teil des Prozesses ist. Zum Glück, es ist Anonym.

>>187607316
The reason those guys have a terrible accent is because they don't care. They just wanna sell some stuff on the market to tourists. All it takes to have a good accent is caring enough to practice matching your speech to whatever is you want to sound like. And you can do that at the end, when you've already acquired the language and want to perfect it. So, no need to stress about it now.

note that a learner might have more tips than a native speaker, but here are some ideas
>So, not real fluency, just to pass the test.
it seems in the speaking part you have to improvise, so you probably can't really learn only for the test, you need some general proficiency. but B1 shouldn't be too hard and somewhat forgiving.
>Any tip to self-learn the speaking part of a German B1-B2 test?
listening to native speakers I guess, such as Easy German on Youtube. you can also repeat after them (shadowing) to practice speaking, or read aloud texts.
>express your opinion and make suggestions
learn how you can do that and what words/phrases/constructions you can use.
>you will be required to respond to questions
learn the different question words and the word order in questions (main verb first or after the question word). and learn how you can answer those, e.g.
>Wofür ist das? - Das ist dafür, dass...
if you're unsure about your speaking you can share vocaroo recordings here. you can do challenges to get feedback on your grammar and wording.

the corrections you're gonna get, like in this post, are mostly about grammar. your vocab seems pretty good already.
do you want those or do you only want to be told about words you used incorrectly? I'm not gonna tell you about grammar if you want to figure it out on your own.

I imagine that's some rather advanced intuition. you have to know what separable prefixes and the verbs the make are commonly associated with a base verb and realise that the base verb itself cannot be enough in context.

Further limiting the search to forums from Spain, the ratio of "estoy gordo" to "soy gordo" is 6:1, which is quite a stark difference.

yeah, phrasal verbs in English are like mini separable verbs, so theoretically English speakers should have an easier time with it than speakers of many other languages.
with phrasal verbs only the object can be in between, but the object could be complex and long too, though in that case you'd often prefer to use the connected form.
