Esperanto thread!
I'm told that this book is the best in terms of how easy it is.
There's a youtuber I like to watch who reviews language learning books. He's done a few esperanto books.
Here are two video reviews of those books:

Not specifically esperanto but there is an awesome program called anki which is a flashcard program that figures out when the best time to review something when it is best to memorise it, plus there are tons of pre-made decks for esperanto
and of course there is stuff like lernu and kurso de esperanto, and the sidebar in the esperanto subredddit has a bunch or resources too.
Not really a resource, but we have an image board

Ah, heard about that one. But if something is on stream it usually means its censored to shit, so I'm not that tempted to bother.
>>8 can't be censored if there's nothing to censor in the first place, though maybe that means the content itself is too tame for your wild lifestyle
How do I say "nigger" in esperanto? Nigero?

What is the worst language in your opinion? As a really wordy guy, I don't really like english. It's useful, nice to hear and easy to speak but to write, I really hate it. It's too hard and even sometimes impossible to precisely express what I'd like to say.
I'm not into japanese anymore. It's kinda cool to speak but honnestly I got fed up with the culture (few travels and a lot of disillusions). I'm more into korean and cantonese (I don't speak it very well but I'm in love with Hong Kong's cinema).
What is yours?
I actually agree with >>32 on chinese language having one of the worst writing systems, and I suspect it actually held them down for a long time. But there are probably many dead languages with writing systems even worse. Also I don't know how good chinese is as a spoken language.
Written Chinese is cool as hell, especially once you get to phono-semantic characters. Pity that spoken Mandarin sounds horrible!
>impossible to precisely express what I'd like to say.
I know that feel. I think it's because you don't have enough practice in the language. It could happen in english as any other language that is not yours.
I feel really frustrated sometimes to express myself as accurately and precisely in a foreign language comparatively to my native.

I want to learn Bulgarian. Anyone here ?
Latin. Thank god that it's a dead languge
The worst language is english. it was invented by retards in denial of the fact they are actually german. also shakespeare is trash and you should never read him unless your stick on that one silent hill 3 puzzle
Yeah, english isn't a language, it is 3 different languages in trenchcoat standing on each other's shoulders pretending to be one. English sailors "colonised" half of the world at some point, spreading their language in the process. Japanese and chinese are still worse though, you need like tripple the effort to learn those.
Instead of reading Shakespeare, watch this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looking_for_Richard . It is a movie analysis of Richard III (Richard the third) play, explaining what is actually happening in the movie. In short, it is about one guy stealing throne.

Apparently I can use F9 or ctrl-t to type ｗｉｄｅｔｅｘｔ with microsoft IME. Other F buttons do similar things.
I wonder why 青 can mean both blue and green, maybe 緑 is a later addition to the language?
緑青

there's a whole theory about this
also traditionally the rainbow was seen as having just 5 colors in east asia
(precisely due to having less recognized colors)
japan used to recognize just 4 colors initially (black, white, red and blue)

amie français voila un forum similaire a 4ch pour nous http://fr2ch.bbs.fc2.com/ je compte sur vous pour faire vivre le forum
Heh. Pourquoi pas? Moi j'viens du Canada. Le Francais c'est ma langue d'origine.
Tout d'abord, je ne pense pas que le BBS de Fc2 soit un bon support pour réellement créer un équivalent francophone à 2channel. On ne voit même pas d'aperçu des posts sur la page d'accueil, seulement les titres des sujets, et de plus, la popularité du BBS baisse certainement énormément en étant "hébergé" sur fc2.
Pour créer un équivalent francophone à 2ch il faudrait :
-Utiliser un système similaire à 2ch (regarde en bas le lien vers Kareha)
-L'héberger sur un hébergeur sûrement payant (pour la qualité du service)
-Réserver un nom de domaine (payant, mais pas cher)
-S'assurer du succès d'une telle entreprise.
Les trois premières étapes sont relativement simples à mettre en place, le plus dur étant de choisir un nom convenable pour les francophones, le nom de domaine qui va avec et le design du site (entièrement copié sur 2ch ? Une touche française ?). Une fois ceci réalisé arrive l'étape la plus difficile : "rendre" le BBS populaire.
Il faut pour cela qu'un utilisateur débarquant sache ce qu'est ce BBS, quelles en sont les sections, les règles, les principes (posts anonymes, sage, concept de bump, liste des threads, rapidité et variété des sujets, etc).
Je pense qu'il est inutile d'essayer de popularizer le site, si les gens sont intéressés, ils y viendront d'eux mêmes. Après tout, c'est comme ça que j'ai débarqué ici, ça fait déjà quelques années.
Ce qu'il faut vraiment, c'est l'engagement de quelqu'un (ou d'un groupe), pour lancer le truc d'un point de vue technique.
How easy is French to learn?
>>7
It depends. If you already speak a Roman language, it can be fairly easy. Even with English, knowing that a lot of your "more-than-three-syllables" words are almost the same in French but more common, you already have an innate amount of vocabulary.
I think the hardest is the obfuscated orthography and the legendary hard grammar.
I can say it as a fact, the majority of French don't master their own language, you can see it (alas) everywhere, from the internet to newspapers and classrooms.
The particularity of French is the irregular grammar, though. Learning the tenses for each groups of verbs is daunting and boring, you may even abandon the process when you see that irregular verbs are every-fucking-where.
My best advise to improve in French is to focus on grammar for the serious part, and for the practice, you have more than 500 years of genius literature awaiting you, from the renaissance poets and philosophers to the more modern writers.
Reading French is a very important part of learning it, for French is in my opinion much more divided between its spoken and read forms. Even for French, those that often read in their youth tend to master the language better than others.

Hi, How did you get yourself able to understand them. Many linkings make them to understand. it seems to be impossible.
It's just practice my friend, keep reading and speaking it and it will become easier. Have you tried watching videos on subjects that interest you in English? Maybe playing games in English?
what is your native language and is it south slavic?
I'm between B1 and B2 and am trying to maintain my German skills while I can't take classes. What would people recommend reading and watching? I've been sticking to newspapers, mainly, and that gets a bit dull.

hey
i'm very interested in chinese but i don't know where to start, i thought about learning the hanzi but, does mandarin use the same ideograms? do i have to learn mandarin or traditional chinese?
any good methods?
I suggest you learn Mandarin, which is spoken by most of Chinese people. The easiest way is to find a Chinese girlfriend lol.
i want to learn chinese too.. what the first step to learn chinese? and its not easy to get chinese girlfriend if they cannot speak english u know.. lol
Did you really just say mandarin or traditional?
mandarin and cantonese are the 2 main chinese dialects.
also, the methods of writing are simplifed and traditional, simplified was made to increase the literacy rate sometime around Mao and all the prgressive communist stuff
I speak some Mandarin due to where I grew up and taking it in school.
Mandarin is what most speak, so unless you want to like - go to Hong Kong, just learn Mandarin.
I recommend starting out learning some traditional and then transitioing into simplified (there are many shared characters and simplified just makes some of them faster to write) Traditional is dumb in the long run really.
As for where to start I'd say try to look for some software or a book that you can get cheap or for free and look up more stuff online.
some links from my high school Chinese/math teacher
Dont do it. It is crazy chink-spik, and GT is perfect with it.
CPC PLZ
it's hard, especially the pronounciation...
i dont ever plan to learn chinese however i know shyeh shyeh means thank you yet damn is thier culture and food fucking amazing
Just like that dude says deepl is perfect with Chinese
No need to learn it anymore
You can ask any question.
Is the answer to this question 'no'?
>>1 I play in a band and have played with some Japanese bands like Acid Mothers Temple when they toured, but was too shy to try and speak Japanese to them. I know very little. What's a nice friendly thing I could say to make them feel welcome and that I'm happy to be playing with them or something?
Do you have a small penis?
Do you like anime?
you can ask any question, getting an answer is another matter
are you a japanese?

So I graduated from middle school this year (germany). This means that I had to choose if I wanted to learn Latin for another year and get the Latin proficiency certificate that I would most likely fail anyways. I obviously chose not to go for another year and choose Japanese instead which is more fun to learn and actually useful as opposed to latin. Why am I posting this? I simply want to put my infinite harted for latin into words. There is nothing in this world that would make me do those 4 years over again. It was hell. The very moment you decide to not learn for one test or something THAT'S IT! YOU'RE DONE FOR THE NEXT 2 OR 3 YEARS. If you don't have EVERYTHING in your brain there is no chance in hell that you'll pass that next test. My friend chose to learn latin for another year. We all know that it'll be very hard. I wish him strenght. I'm afraid he might not make it. If you live in germany and plan on having kids or have kids that are going to have to chose between latin and french try to make them chose french. It's also fucking hrd but the lesser evil in my opinion. And it's again actually useful.
To all the latin students: Never give up!
Failed Latin in high school. It was the only class I've ever failed in my life.
No regrets.
I, like you, had to study Latin for a while in middle school (I think it corresponds to middle school. Different system). First I liked it, but I started slacking on my homework, and my grades started going down drastically, which in turn caused me to hate the subject/language.
However, in my fourth year of Latin, at the start of the year, I decided to do my homework again. And I loved it. I suddenly saw how beautiful the language looked and sounded, and how flexible the grammar was. I might never find a practical use for it, but if that's the only thing you care about, you're doing this whole life thing wrong.
I wish they taught Latin where I went.
In middle school we could only learn Spanish or French, and while I liked French, I wish there was more variety. At the other middle and high school in the area, they had shit like German and Japanese.
My mother tried to teach me Latin (I was homeschooled) and I just ended up getting shouted at a lot. It's good to hear other people had a hard time with it too.
Used to learn Latin in the Uni but forget most of it sadly
I found this place googling "latin language textboards," obviously I wasn't expecting anything but this place is nice.
Anyway I say this because I wajt to create a latin speaking textboard, even though it will likely have zero users.
