Florian<p>The joys of learning a new language can include coming up with awful, AWFUL puns in either that language, or that language in combination with one you already know.

Kit<p>Unfortunately Mashable has a discount code right now for lifetime/all languages for Babbel (which, given my limited experience with Babbel, is pretty good for EU languages and if there's differences between, say, different varieties of French or Spanish); but due to me being laid off, can't make my own use of it.

Elizabeth Tai | 戴秀铃 🇲🇾<p>Some person in a forum claims they got fluent in <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Mandarin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mandarin</span></a> in 8 months. Possible if you are a genius, not possible for most.</p><p>I am Chinese, grew up speaking the 8 tone Hokkien language, so I do have some advantages. I also learned Mandarin in school for a few years. Took HSK classes too. I can read up to Hsk 2/3 depending on the vocab. My listening skills is advanced and my speaking skills are prob hsk 3 or 4.</p><p>But if I go to China and claim that I am fluent in Chinese they'd flay me alive for being an arrogant fool 😆. You can have HSK 6 skills, but that's only beggining level for most Chinese. Hsk 6 is just dipping your toe in the waters.</p><p>Mandarin has such complexities you can't really be fluent in 8 months. For example, understanding chengyu? That would prob take a year or two to even grasp.</p><p>So fluent, perhaps in the West or countries outside East Asia, means being able to read and speak a little. Being conversant. I suppose that's fine. If your reading levels aren't even HSK 3, you can't call yourself fluent because writing and reading is the backbone of the Chinese language. You can't do without it.</p><p>In China, and even in South-East Asia fluent means a whooooole other thing.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Chinese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chinese</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/LanguageLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LanguageLearning</span></a></p>
Martine Nyx<p>Here’s the difference in grammar difficulty between English and Italian:</p><p>My English-speaking students always have a very hard time understanding the concept of “indirect pronouns” and it takes them weeks (or months) to memorize them and learn how to use them properly.</p><p>Meanwhile, this is how I explained indirect pronouns to my Russian-speaking friend:<br>“It’s the equivalent of the dative case in Russian”<br>“Got it.”</p><p><a href="https://me.dm/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>language</span></a> <a href="https://me.dm/tags/italian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>italian</span></a> <a href="https://me.dm/tags/english" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>english</span></a> <a href="https://me.dm/tags/russian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>russian</span></a> <a href="https://me.dm/tags/languagelearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>languagelearning</span></a></p>

Sirana<p>German language advice: </p><p>Many long scary words are just several small words in a trench coat. It's like lego, you just have to know how to stack them. </p><p>Also, many words are rather, well, descriptive:</p><p>Handschuh -> hand shoe -> Glove<br>It's kind of like a shoe, but for your hand.</p><p>Fußgängerüberweg -> foot walker over path (sort of) -> pedestrian crossing <br>The path where people walking on foot can cross the street.</p><p>And that second one is often marked with a Zebrastreifen, a zebra stripe, because it's a bunch of white stripes placed on usually rather dark coloured streets, creating a pattern resembling a zebra.</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/GermanLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GermanLanguage</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/German" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>German</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/LanguageLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LanguageLearning</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/SecondLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SecondLanguage</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Linguistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linguistic</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Language</span></a></p>
