I do not know why we do not have an active language learning thread, so here you go.

>>25417 You can reorder it in whichever way you like as long as the verb is at the end

>>25418 Really? Is there some form of prefix or suffix to indicate a word's role, like the Russian case system?

>>25414 I want to learn russian, so I was planning on starting with Michel Thomas Method and then following 4chan's /int/ guide. But the OP's reddit guide seems better, I'll use it instead. Thanks OP

>>25449 To be honest, i have never seen written Azerbaijani in Iran. The Azeri friends i have had mostly seem to speak it and that, only at home or with each other.
I did find this old document from pre-revolution era which appears to have been written in the Persian script.

is Norwegian worth learning first if you want to learn German, (time is not a problem I'm unemployed and can learn them over summer break) or should i just learned German without knowing another Germanic language(English not included obviously).
Anonymous 24-01-26 00:07:31 No. 25659
>>25657 The most similar language to German is surely Dutch. That said, learning similar languages at the same time makes one mix up vocabulary a lot, so…

I'm looking for a language with little to memorize outside of the phonology of the word, this means no uninferable gender, uninferable declination, or non-phonetic scripts. I'd like there to be relatively few non-Western European loan words. I'd like for it to be agglutinate, or isolating, but not fusional as this makes forms difficult to determine. I love when words and phrases are built up from consistent morphemes!any foreign language for years, but every time I hit a road block, and it all falls down shortly after. I sort of think my brain just isn't configured to retain another language that I don't have a full mastery of. I even tried glorious Hawaiian but failed once I hit the numbers, and dates for unknown reasons, and after which, even while doing word flashcards, I eventually lost much of my active recall.
