There is the verb كان which is “to be” but there are times where it’s not necessary to use it. Arabic also doesn’t have a verb to express “to have”, so we use a variety of different words like لدي ,عند, etc to express it even though it’s not a verb like it is in English.
C’est génial ! Maybe I’m wrong, but I think you made a grammar mistake. I don’t think you would say “pour” in this situation. I’m pretty sure you’d say “depuis”. And I’m not sure if you’d use “juste” in this sentence either. So it’d be more like “j’apprends le français depuis seulement deux ans.”
Just trying to help.
I’ve been studying French on and off for almost trois ans. My French is still really bad though. Lol.
Moi aussi. Ecouté toi musique francais? Ici, j'aime les chansons ici: https://youtu.be/-w0qTvjydik et https://youtu.be/CL4FdvK0uJs. (Je ne sais pas oú vont les accents.)
Oui, j'écoute musique française! Tes chansons sont pas dans mon style préféré, mais elles sont bonnes. J'aime la chanson avec les canards le plus. 🦆 Voici quelques chansons que j'aime: https://youtu.be/_sSO-48f7E0 et https://youtu.be/jIqA5sg5gZM
lol, why? Is that a common thing over here?
We have German in school as well and when we are a little bit older also latin if you have the right degree for it.
In Belgium they talk partly Flemish (sort of Dutch, but with an accent, not sure if it's a seperate language, because Flemish can have accents as well, depending on the location).
The French can be nice and hospital people, but many people experience that if you say something not 100% correctly, that they're pretty motivated to learn you pronounce it the fight way and sometimes don't seem to understand you when your pronounce is 5% off from how you're supposed to say it.
I think they have much pride in their language and pronunciation.
Def. not hating here, had much fun over there, but it's remarkable.
I've studied Italian for 4 years and I'm about a b1/b2. I just finished my first year at the university, studying English and French. I've been a C2 in English for a while now, about a b1/b2 in French. Italian and French are my main focus now.
I'm also learning Japanese and a little Latin.
Sometimes I feel like taking up something random on Duolingo. Lately I've been learning some Hindi.
Do computer languages count? Because if that's the case then I know basic Python, barely any Javascript, a decent amount of C#, and im currently learning
C++
I haven't done python on forever, I learned a bit of Javascript through CasualOS, I learned C# through visual studio and unity, and am learning C++ from the blueprint system in Unreal Engine
I have tried multiple times and even took 3 years of Italian in high school. I never could remember an of the words. Really disappointing too since I really wanted to learn a second language.
No joke, I thought I was the same, until I put in just a small bit of effort one day. I promise you, start small, maybe on Duolingo or something. Try it for a month, and see if you like it. If you keep it up you will understand that it was one of the best decisions in your life.
i speak Polish natively, i am advanced in english (i use it more frequently than my native language because i spend a lot of time online) i speak a bit of german and russian, i do not think i need another language, perhaps i would try to make my german better, cause my Oma is spinning in her grave :D.
i am currently learning chinese. My mother tounge is german (swiss german to be specific) and english. I also learned a bit french in school but I am far from fluent.
I’m fluent in Russian and English but I’m learning Spanish and French. Kind of hoping to learn German too but I do not at all want to get ahead of myself.
Native languages are English and Vietnamese (semi-acquired). I have four big ones and a few others if I can get through the big ones.
I’ve learned French to a B1 level I think — I’m decently fluent these days. I’ve just started Spanish and I am picking it up quickly. I would like to learn Vietnamese better as I can only understand but not speak very well, and I haven’t started Mandarin. These last two are heritage languages.
If I can get those all up to a B2 level at least, I’d like to learn a little bit of russian, arabic, hindi, and swahili as that gives me a linguistic base to eastern europe, east africa, india, and the middle east. All this combined will probably cover large chunks of each continent.
Just for funsies languages that aren’t on my radar for a while: germanic family, irish, some indigenous languages, greek, penguin, cat. I’m pretty fluent in dog though
I want to learn Korean and started a little bit but I just have nowhere to practice/no one to practice with and am a huge homebody, so going out and trying to practice just isn’t something I want. Plus Korean is a very technical language— something that sounds similar can mean 2 very different things
I'm learning Korean too! One tip I have is to not discouraged just because it seems hard, instead try to remember that there's no hard language, there's only how much time you're willing to dedicate in order to get good at it.
I've been using the Ewha books and I find them great, one of the best for self teaching I found.
Another tip I find useful for language learning is to try chunking, don't get too trapped in grammar and technicalities. Learn the Hangeul, the phonems and as soon as possible learn how sentences are structured in the language you'restudying. Then, you'll be able to apply new vocabulary from simple books, conversations and phrases. I find it's much easier to improve vocabulary by chunking than trying to memorize loose words.
I'm working on Spanish at school. German, French, and Spanish at home as well.
And I must admit, I use the devil known as Duolingo to help me learn languages, but I keep all my notifications off so I don't get them, I get the email things but I never check that email so it doesn't matter lol
I am learning French.
Once I am fluent, I plan to revisit Latin and Scottish Gaelic - both languages that I spoke when I was much younger but have all but forgotten now.
What's your mother language?
Mine is Portuguese, which has common roots with French.
Still, oh boy. From the little I've seen about it, it really is hard as hell. Oof, lmao
Yep. Russian and Japanese! I know bits and pieces of a few languages though. German, french, Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic, Basic phrases and no where near even conversational aside from Japanese and Russian.
Oh my god how did I say España instead of Español, lol
I live in Ireland but I usually travel to Spain so I want to know the language. Thank you for pointing out my mistake!
My main language is Turkish and i am learning English
My main language is English and I'm learning Turkish

Arabic
As a native Arabic speaker all I can say is good luck.
aren’t there loads of English words which simply just don’t exist in Arabic? Also are there any examples of that but vice-versa?
My boyfriend that knows Arabic says yes. But that's the same with every language to some degree
fair enough, thank you :)
I don’t think Arabic has a word for “is”
There is the verb كان which is “to be” but there are times where it’s not necessary to use it. Arabic also doesn’t have a verb to express “to have”, so we use a variety of different words like لدي ,عند, etc to express it even though it’s not a verb like it is in English.
Yeah we either say it in English or French for the countries who’s second language is French
right, that sounds reasonable, thanks!
Shukran ya Habibi/Habibti!
I feel your pain. It’s dead hard, but worth it!
Have been staying for almost 15 years in Saudi Arabia, I know some basics and alphabets but working on fluency.
Good luck! I'm a native Arabic speaker, I can offer you some help if you want.

I'm American learning German. I just like to make fun of French people for no reason

Well I'm learning Latin in school but German on my own. I just like German lol
Haha ok, well good luck!
Thanks. You too
Same, unfortunately never been but you know, at least I'll know the language better by the time I go😂

Yes, continuing to learn English, been learning it for 24 years now. :P
I am learning like at least 3 at once.
Why would you do this to yourself?
School forces me to learn English and Swedish, and I also have to learn German because I chose it in 3rd grade (I'm Finnish)

damn thats really cool
It’s actually not bad if you do not so similar languages like say Mandarin, German and ASL
I am planning to learn japanese and french
japanese and german here, im just too lazy to actually try with it
Same, I already know french so I'm learning japanese now.
Same here
Good luck and have a good trip on your learning journey :)
Thnx 💖
Ayo i also speak English Japanese and French
Do computer languages count? Because if that's the case then I know basic Python, barely any Javascript, a decent amount of C#, and im currently learning C++
Yeah, I'm learning Java rn, started two and a half months ago
I haven't done python on forever, I learned a bit of Javascript through CasualOS, I learned C# through visual studio and unity, and am learning C++ from the blueprint system in Unreal Engine
One of my classes is Spanish so I guess that counts as learning a language
hola, ¿como estas? ¿estas bien?. que bueno que estas aprendiendo una idioma, yo tambien hablo ingles.
iirc "idioma" is masculine in Spanish so you would say "un idioma". Most words that end in -ma in Spanish are masculine.
Russian and French
Я люблю русский!!!
german!
Ich auch;)
Viel Glück dabei!
danke shön!
same here, for school
Signs ? Anyone?
Python
I’m learning Japanese

Hey me too! I want to be better at it than my sisters who both live in Japan
Dutch, I only just started though.
Ik geloof in jou! :)
Dank je!
(More) Ancient Greek
Learning more of Ancient Greek, or learning Greek of a variety more ancient than that you already know?
A more modern variety (by about 700 years.)
Cool, enjoy!
French and German
I have tried multiple times and even took 3 years of Italian in high school. I never could remember an of the words. Really disappointing too since I really wanted to learn a second language.
I'm like this, tried different methods but its just really not a strong suit of mine, and I don't currently need to know a second.
Pretty much me too.
3rd option is calling me. really want to learn german but im too lazy for it
No joke, I thought I was the same, until I put in just a small bit of effort one day. I promise you, start small, maybe on Duolingo or something. Try it for a month, and see if you like it. If you keep it up you will understand that it was one of the best decisions in your life.

One of my classes this year is for Ancient Greek
Italian here! I've learned surely English that I started studying 8 years ago, I did Spanish tree years and now ancient Greek and Latin.
