Да, я изучаю русский язык, но не знаю какой у меня уровень, может быть где-то B1-B2. К сожалению мне не с кем говорить в последнее время 😪
I am also trying to improve my English recently, mostly because I am pretty bad at speaking, and pronouncing stuff correctly.
I want to learn another language as well, maybe I will return to Czech (I was learning it for 1 month some time ago, and don't remember much, although I understand fairly amount because I am Polish).
Ich lerne Deutsch, und
opiskelen suomea, ja
estoy aprendiendo español también.
Furthest along with Deutsch, because I did it at school (decades ago), not making huge progress gains with any of them because Duolingo, but it fits in my day so easily and the repetition is effective I think.
Learning Swedish now, since I already speak passable Norwegian, it's not the hardest endeavor.
Здравствуйте все!
I've been actively trying to learn Russian for about two years now, and I'm still not very capable of having even simple conversations, due to the great difficulty of constructing sentences in my head. I guess I let the grammar get to me, with all the various prefixes and suffixes, so I choke. That, and the positioning of the words in a sentence. And also the concept of cases (all 7 of them). I know English and Norwegian from before, none of which has this slavic sentence logic/rules, so I find it incredibly difficult to remember/associate words/variations with their use.
I use Duolingo, Babbel, and sometime Rocket Language, in addition to trying to expose myself to having to read/listen/reply to other native speakers, but man am I having a hard time. Any suggestions?
I would suggest going to the Library and seeing if they have a Russian language course, or finding one at a book store if you can afford it. I find having an actual structured course helps me in my learning, and it will usually include resources like audio.
I had the same problem when I started learning Russian and honestly the only thing that helped me improve was just speaking and writing in Russian more
the grammar is also really hard, but I found it best to just not overthink it and just get used to speaking and making mistakes but improving over time. It's easier to focus on correcting grammar when you're more comfortable just constructing sentences in that language in general and don't have to think as hard for each word you want to say
Ullyfay uentflay.
I'm learning a bit Dutch. We're quite close to the dutch border and have been going there for vacation and shopping for a while now and would like to be able to at least order food/ask for the toilet etc.
I'm not but I'd love to learn some other romance languages, Italian and French would be my choices right now.
I'm currently learning Catalan, doing Duolingo until I find some class (which there should be one in a couple of months). It's relatively easy for me since I already speak fluent Spanish and Portuguese and understand almost everything in Italian.
Hmmm aku sedang belajar Bahasa Indonesia sekarang but I'm terrible at it.
I just started taking Spanish classes. I had one year of Spanish in elementary school and I’m fluent in French, so it’s been pretty simple to understand Spanish but I need to keep working on speaking. I’ve also started watching Spanish language tv, to try to pick up more vocabulary.
Decided to take it to be able to speak with more people in my community, plus I love visiting Mexico and South America.
I am learning German and I can read simple sentences with context, I still can't understand it by listening
Nederlands (Dutch), my native language is Portuguese and I also speak English.
"Hallo, ik ben Cally en ik spreek een beetje Nederlands." probably translates to "Hello, I am Cally and I speak a bit of Dutch."
I kinda suck at learning languages so I'm still at what I assume is A1 level, I think my pronunciation is ok, though. Idk how to speed up language learning but I have set my phone to Dutch and that kinda helps. For example, "Instellingen" means "Settings"
I’ve been learning Russian for a few years, I’ve also started learning Serbian and Ukrainian a little bit.
I can speak Russian pretty decently, it’s my girlfriend’s first language so I’ve had a lot of regular practice with it, I don’t consider myself fluent at this point but I can hold conversations with native speakers without too much of an issue
With Ukrainian I can understand quite a bit but I haven’t had much practice speaking it with other people at all yet. I have the basic phrases memorized, things like привіт, будь ласка, доброго ранку, добрий вечір, дякую, як справи, etc. but I don’t think I could hold a conversation speaking only in Ukrainian. I’ve been studying it kind of off and on for a year or so, and I listen to some Ukrainian music fairly often
Serbian I’ve been struggling to learn, I’ve been working on it for about 5 months. I think learning Russian first made it weirdly harder since the sentences are structured fairly differently. When it’s written, I can understand quite a bit, but if someone walked up to me and just started speaking Serbian I’d be completely lost
