A search engine? The first result on DuckDuckGo and Google - for the terms "learn Farsi" - was this:http://www.easypersian.com/.

It's got 75 free lessons, begin there. Then buy a book aimed at autodidacts.

>>6440
I'm talking books, faggot.

>>6462

Well then go on Amazon and buy one of the countless Farsi textbooks/phrasebooks available.

>>6465
But the reason I'm here in the first place is to find people who have learned languages with the help of books and ask what books they liked the best so I know which ones to get.

>>6440

>Duckduckgo

>Google

Has thou tried Startpage? IMO its the best.

>>6464
Any way to do this without making an account?

>>6466

Probably not. I wouldn't let that be a reason for you not to use it though. It's pretty useful. besides I don't think you need to give any personal shit except your e-mail, if that's even required.

well anon I tried this site and it seems very good but why is so many english learners?? I need an english speaker and there's a few of them!!

Jaja, este sitio es bueno, y me ayudó a conocerles a personas que puedo hablarles en español. Pero a veces me siento incómoda porque muchas personas son de un país del tercero o segundo mundo, y me dicen que vivo en un gran lugar, y quieren cosas que doy por descontado.

>>6473

>y me ayudó a CONOCER personas que...

eso suele pasar, al final de cuentas todos quieren vivir en un mejor lugar aunque eso signifique irse de sus países de origen. No te sientas incómoda por eso (femanon?), trata de llevar el tema como cualquier otro y también sirve hablar de la otra cara de tu país (venga que no todos los países del primer mundo son perfectos)

>what's going on here? hhahah

þ is for þjóðverji.

It means German. :)

O is for ovejero (sheepdog)

N is for naranja.

P is for pinche.

you have to have a high level of the L2 first, it has to be at the point where you never translate a word anymore.

Because of course what you do as a beginner is think in translations, and otherwise what you do is you hear the word in the L3 then go through this process:

encarra (and then you have to translate it to) > todavía (and then from there) > yet


(catalan > spanish > english)


So every time you hear a word you're taking this extra step and it slows you down noticeably, it's just not practical. But once you have that instinctive sense of what todavía and all of the other vocabulary that you need means, and are no longer translating it mentally.. then I think it's a fine idea

Are Vietnamese and Japanese related languages? I don't know much about eastern languages much at all.

>>6372

Nah, not even remotely close, I've found Turkish to feel more like Japanese than Vietnamese does.

Vietnamese is tonal, Japanese effectively atonal; Vietnamese uses a modified romanised alphabet, Japanese barely even has a romanised method of writing and it's never used by Japanese people; Vietnamese compound words are treated strangely in that they're not treated like compound words at all, but treated as seperate words; Japanese is agglutinative, Vietnamese isolated; etc etc.

on a somewhat related note

there was a study where they compared the acquisition of portuguese by native spanish speakers who learned english and native english speakers who learned spanish
the ones who learned spanish were able to learn portuguese better

science.

>>6429

Was there a control group of any kind?

It's not perfect but it's good for someone learning english, I think. I'm sure, whoever she is, she'll love whatever it is you're writing.

>This is the language board, please answer my language question.

no :P

also i dont understand what you are asking?
are you worried she is an imposter or something

>>6336
Dude. All russians have english lessons in school and in university(if they are in university). So, this information gives, like, nothing.

OP is worried he's cybersexing a dude

hmm, without commenting on the language (because at the end of the day, some people are much better than others regardless, and have different levels of exposure to anglophone culture and medias etc) it seems a bit contrived, as if someone was deliberately trying to sound foreign. for instance, why would someone use ` instead of ' unless it was deliberate. granted that neither of those symbols appear on a russian keyboard. another thing is the dacha - this is something that only the most well-off families would have surely? hopefully an actual russian on here may be able to shed light on that. and in that same message, name-dropping the dacha, international workers day(and the apparent ignorance that mayday is worldwide), etc - it all seems a bit deliberate

this post will surely not satisfy you, and judging by your tone in OP may actually infuriate you. but i dont really care

¿Podría sugerir algunos libros sencillos en español que alguien que está aprendiendo español podría disfrutar? Lo siento si estoy siendo un dolor en el culo.

>>6381

debes comprar "los ojos de carmen"
es el libro que leía cuando estaba aprendiendo. es breve y sencillo.
también es posible que podrías leer algunos libros como los de la series Harry Potter

>>6382
Gracias, anon.

>não falho muito bem

HUEHUEHUE, now that's funny.

>>6349

lol why did i totally fucking botch it? I literally just started learning portuguese less than a month ago but I have been studying spanish for a few years. I'm confused about what the equivalent of "muy" in spanish is in portuguese. but judging by your reaction it's not "muito"

Portuguese sounds like Ancient Aliens trying to speak Spanish.

>>6352
Eu não falo muito bem. = I don't speak very well.
Eu não [**falho[/**] muito bem. = I don't fail very well.

>>6360
oh. well fuck thanks man. lol i can see the humor in that pretty clearly now.

You probably need to put focus on engaging in conversations (both written and verbal) with other people in French.

>>6297
et oui,
Il a raison.

Take a formal class

Speak with natives who are trying to learn English

Buy a novella in French and try to read it

Listen to French language music

these are my suggestions for thee

I am French Canadian I don't know English it sucks.

>>6351

Well then, thou and jolly african-american Hammerspear ought to help each other.

Ich wuerde lieber in einem deutschsprachigen Land wohnen. Ich lerne nur an der Uni.

"Eine coole (geile) Trickfilmserie, die ich kürzlich fand (gefunden habe)"

Gibt es ohne Untertitel, weil es eigentlich eine Zeitschriften-Serie war aus den 60ern und daher nur im dt. Raum bekannt ist.
Also für eng. Untertitel nich interessant genug.
Mein Beileid.
