I'm trying to learn Japanese but it has a stupid writing system.

 

[Anab]

I speak 5 fluently.

‒Nelson Mandela

This just reminded me of Indians who say they speak 5 languages and then list Gujarati, Punjabi, hindi, mirpuri and some other shit kkkk. Not saying you're the same though sis. 5 languages is impressive masha allah, which do you speak? (Apart from Somali, English and Dutch)

 

[LaFlame]

I speak 3: Danish, English, and Somali. I had German in the early secondary years, but switched to Spanish when i started attending HS.

This is proving to be much more difficult than I thought

Day 7, but I officially know how to say 'The monkey walks near the horse'

Good progress imo. The important thing is that you get comfortable with the grammar and syntax w/out necessarily knowing the rules. Learning random sentences will help w/ that.

Portuguese is going very well it’s extremely similar to Spanish. I just need to watch some more Neymar interviews because the intonation is very weird.

I don't even know where to start with grammar. I'm switching between the assimil book which hasn't really covered grammar, duolingo (some grammar), and memrise as of yesterday. I feel like the last two are a bit gimmicky aside for picking up random vocab but it's so easy and low key fun. I've been lazy with the book, but been banging out duolingo kkkkkkkk

I have to admit, some of this shit is triggering me. Constantly watching for gender is doing my head in. And why the f*ck is it el vestido

How did you start off? I've watched a million YT vids 'HOW I LEARNED SPANISH' but none of them actually give you a description of their study plan. I keep ending up that FLAMA channel watching random shit, and 'mirin Spanish YouTube.


Good to hear you're making progress on your Portuguese though

I like the effort you’re putting into this and trust me, everyone’s experience is different. I’ll explain what I did when I get home!

5 languages Mashallah!
Somalis in India
LOL Eurotrash is quite a harsh term for the nordic/central european Somalis in the UK
A lot of them come here quite young and don't remember a word of their nordic gibberish
masaakiin
But they benefit greatly with their EU passport but they grow up confused
I speak 4
English,French,Arabic and Soomaali
Any somali swiss or other francophone somalis in this forum like belgian/quebec/france somalis?

 

[Bidaar Wanagsan]

I'm learning several languages on the go. It's not easy, but it keeps my brain cells in tip top shop. The languages are English, Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Canadian, American and Australian. I'm thinking of adding Kiwi, but I heard it's really hard.

I'm jealous! Is there a sizable Somali community there? I had family there but they ran off and moved to Egypt. What's your German like?

You wanna downplay my achievement? Typical hater.

How I see it, why learn all these languages when you can just learn Esperanto. The universal luqat.
