Any polyglots on this forum? I LOVE languages

[Brazitard]

I started learning English when I was 12 yo using Google Translator, and Spanish too at the same age by playing Resident Evil 4... And after that I worked on bettering my English because I knew what an advantage was to know it, but my Spanish is a little rusted rn because I don't use it too much, although I can read and pronounce it well.

I also had an online Italian test with 10 A1, 10 B1 and 10 C1 questions and I made exactly 5/10 in each one... Not great you will probably say, but I never had any contact with Italian besides listening to Laura Pausini songs when I was a kid, way before I even started to learn English...

I tried to read about Mussolini in the Italian Wikipedia, about Nikolae Ceausescu in the Romanian Wikipedia and could understand the majority of it, specially Italian... I also read an article about Dr. Frank Zalewski in French and could understand like 60% of it...

I will try to master French, Romanian and Italian by the middle of 2023 then move on to Norwegian, Swedish, Danish (the 3 easiest for English speakers) + Dutch (one of the easiest for Brazilians)... After that I will try to average 4 new languages per year with the exception of Category IV languages like Arabic, Cantonese and Mandarin...

The tools that i will use are: Google Translator (it worked for me in the past), FSI Courses and a Kindle (it has a built-in dictionary)...

Do you speak other languages? What worked for you that you can share with me? Any tips?

Quando avevo 10 anni ho imparato l'inglese giocando a Minecraft con un bambino svedese(che parlava inglese meglio degli inglesi stessi) .

È da un anno che studio giapponese e ho quasi finito l'n4 anche se sono molto indietro con la scrittura.

Latin is boring af, I was obliged to learn it at school... 100% boredom just like studying math, and also useless because none speaks that language anymore.

I can barely speak English

Only didn't understand the words Imparato and Stessi and my phone is not working properly so I can't use the translator...

Are you Italian? Is Japanese THAT hard to learn?

I like dead languages... I will focus on them once I learn 10 modern languages, I will learn how to read Egyptian Hieroglyphs.

Only 1 fluently. I'm close to conversationally fluent in French but I can't talk about complicated topics e.g. politics.
Used to be way better at Russian probably B1 but I've slipped. The other day I had a conversation with a Moldovan guy and loads of words came back to me.

Got it... You can perfect it tho, just need to get someone to speak with... My problem is that people in Brazil don't speak other languages, only 5% speak some English with 1% being fluent in it.

I wanna learn russian so I can communicate with a polina when I eemaxx

Start learning it ASAP if you got time... Learning new languages is very worth it and some studies say that the more languages you learn, the easier it gets... I also want to learn Russian so I can meet Fedor Emelianenko, Dmitri Klokov, Alexey Voevoda and Denis Cyplenkov one day and, if I get money to stay there, perhaps even TRAIN with them, it will be an honor...

I understand some Cyrillic but nothing at all about the language... Keep going, you are an inspiration lol

Extremely simple. It's Algebra 2 tier difficulty

Yeah thanks, its a bit hard but its fun. I'm pretty interested in dead languages too, which I'll learn later

What dead languages? Can you name a few?

Old Norse, Sumerian, Latin, perhaps sanskrit or old greek at sometime

Good luck to you too. If you remember the bump this thread in a year, and I'm still on this site, I'd probably have moved on to something else after Russian (Chinese most likely), and I'd head to dead languages after.

Based, I think its a cool language too.
A lot of north African Christian sects are interesting to me, more so the Donatists though. The Circumcellions specifically

If you like dead languages.. You should see if you can decipher the Indus script. It is older than Ancient Egypt’s hieroglyphs and Sumerian yet no one knows how to read it.

I just tried it, it’s pretty good. Thanks for showing me

I agree, it’s a cool language. I think it’s shameful how Copts and Middle Easterners in general let out languages die out. There are still minority groups speaking old languages like Aramaic, but sadly I doubt they’ll last long

It takes some autism to learn it, but I do like the mystery of dead languages. That's why despite listing latin its one of the less interesting dead languages to me.

 

[Allandro]

Only didn't understand the words Imparato and Stessi

"Imparato" means learned, "stessi" means themselves

Are you Italian?

Sì

Is Japanese THAT hard to learn?

It is hard (if you are european) but in 1 year I reached the point where I can understand movies with japanese subtitles, the most difficult thing about learning a language is always that you are often obliged to(by school, courses, ecc...), I've been learning german in my school for 3 years and I've never reached my japanese level.

 

[Gonthar]

Do you speak other languages? What worked for you that you can share with me? Any tips?

You need a natural talent for this, I'm Romanian and besides English I also studied French, Italian and Latin in school, but struggled a lot with learning languages. I mastered English simply through a massive exposure to books, movies, cartoons, video games, etc. but couldn't find enough interesting and captivating content in the other languages so my interested in them diminished. Some people seem to be very skilled at acquiring other languages and it doesn't seem to have to do much with their IQ.

Don't talk nonsense man. It's fucking impossible to decipher as there's no Rosetta for it.

Doesn't matter, dude's interested in dead languages so I introduced him to one that's probably the most ancient one out of all.
