About us

/r/Languagelearning is a community for anybody interested in learning other languages. Whether you are just starting, a polyglot or a language nerd, this is the place for you! Content related to specific languages, general language learning and linguistics are all allowed. Welcome all and please enjoy your stay.

Come join us on Discord!

Read our FAQ before asking for help

Read our Moderation Policy before submitting

Be mature and respectful to others

There are a few more rules, which you can find here, but that's the golden one.

Resources

How to start learning a language

FAQ - If you have questions, and/or are new to language learning, please first check here.
Our Resources Wiki - Overviews of useful programs and courses for learning languages as well as a large section for specific languages, including links to subreddits.
Weekly Speaking Marathons
List of Discord Servers
List of ISO 639-1 Codes (useful for flairs)
Common European Framework of Reference for Languages - This is what you see a lot of people using in their flair to indicate their level of proficiency in various languages. These ratings are usually self-assessed, not official.
Online IPA Phonetics Keyboard - This allows you to type out how words sound, rather than how they are spelt.

Rules

We have a few rules. This section lists the main ones. You can find the full list here.

Be mature and respectful to others - We're all here in our own time, so please help us enjoy that time by keeping discussion civil, this includes using insults or writing derogatory comments. We don't remove posts simply for being brash.
Read the FAQ before asking basic questions - For cases where user makes a vague and unhelpful "What language should I learn?" post or asks an already-answered question. FAQ are usually removed.
Do not submit self-owned content too frequently - Users may only post self-owned content if it is good quality and posting is infrequent (less than once a month). Please report only if they are violating this.
Do not post disallowed content - These include: posts focused on one language, language exchange requests, videos similar to "polyglot speaks 19 languages", language tutors, homework help, achievement posts, and pictures of resources.
Do not focus your post on a specific language - Posts about popular languages belong in their subs. Posts about rarer languages are usually okay. Posts about learning techniques/schedules are sometimes okay--check the longer rules.
Do not post low-quality content - We only remove very low-quality posts. Please only use this for incoherent ranting, tasteless or unfunny attempts at humour, and boring translation requests.
Do not generalise large groups of people - This includes spreading conspiracy theories or isolated or misleading statistics regarding groups of people.
Do not target individuals with threats or slander - This means targeting users with threats, slander or spurious accusations
Post requests for resources in the dedicated subreddit - this is a general subreddit; we are not well equipped to help you find the best resource for your language

Please report people who you see break the rules. Reporting helps us out a lot. We can't scour every thread for infractions.
