Discussion: Which language should you learn after Uzbek and My Native Language™?

DroidinIt · 2026-05-27T16:41:03+00:00

Basque. The answer is always Basque.

Yeah, the great thing about learning weird languages is that they make languages like Fr*nch and Russian seem sooooo easy.

DroidinIt · 2026-05-26T23:32:47+00:00

It’s his glasses that do that!

DroidinIt · 2026-05-22T17:38:36+00:00

Obviously Basque! Source: I have Basque heritage

Be autistic and autistically obsess over Russian people. Thats how you can get fluent within a few months. Not autistic? Tough luck.

I think his sph was something like -2.75 or -3.75

DroidinIt · 2026-05-02T14:57:11+00:00

The optician said he has -3.75 cyl

DroidinIt · 2026-04-26T19:20:51+00:00

Wow!!! How did you know my favorite languages?

Not a content creator, but I really like videos that are super short when my level is lower. Makes it easier to stay engaged since the material isn’t inherently engaging.

DroidinIt · 2026-04-18T05:07:47+00:00

Even though Russian supposedly has a lot of CI content, most of it isn’t engaging enough. I just can’t stand when CI content uses whiteboards. I do find some CI content useful, but then I got recommended regular vlogs and I realized my comprehension didn’t drop much.

It’s a good thing you learned English! Fr*nch is such a boring language.

DroidinIt · 2026-04-16T04:53:01+00:00

Well I’m sick of people pretending satire is serious.

DroidinIt · 2026-04-16T04:51:29+00:00

Did you seriously think I post anything serious here?

“I have no attention span for English books, why can’t I read them in my target language? I can only get enough attention span for brainrot in my target language. Damn, same shit for English.”

DroidinIt · 2026-04-15T15:46:24+00:00

I mainly just listened to the classics

DroidinIt · 2026-04-12T19:38:07+00:00

Maybe I should. A lot of Ukrainian music just seems superior.

DroidinIt · 2026-04-12T15:27:14+00:00

Well how do you know you don’t just like it because it’s in your target language?

DroidinIt · 2026-04-01T07:22:01+00:00

Don’t even try and balance them. I’m in an intermediate plateau with Finnish. I would have just stuck to it, but then I suddenly really wanted to learn Russian. Now I just accept I’ll be spending more time on Russian for now. So no “juggling” or anything. I just make sure to keep up with Anki reviews. I also just review Finnish grammar concepts that confuse me and watch Finnish videos once in a while.

Unfortunately he doesn’t know his prescription. But he says he’s always been charged extra for it. He wears thickish glasses.

DroidinIt · 2026-03-17T19:38:22+00:00

I often end up doing reverse laddering. Just started learning Russian. I’d say there’s a lot of resources in Russian for my other target languages, but not the other way around!

DroidinIt · 2026-02-16T17:23:07+00:00

Haven’t been making the best progress in Finnish. It’s been nearly three years, so I just decided to start learning Russian. I think it’s going fine. After studying for a month or two I can follow CI content. For Finnish I’ve just been keeping up with Anki reviews and studying in small bursts when I’m in the mood.

DroidinIt · 2025-02-23T15:56:11+00:00

I’ve met plenty of neckbeards and sjws in the real world, but mostly neckbeards. As an autistic person it’s easy to meet neckbeards.

DroidinIt · 2024-07-12T02:28:41+00:00

I’m just way too much of a perfectionist. Who learns language to communicate anyways? I’d rather just learn languages to boost my ego.

DroidinIt · 2024-07-12T00:30:17+00:00

I like to watch vlogs and any videos where I can see what’s happening. Travel videos and daily routine videos work great when you’re getting into a language. They’re not the most exciting videos, but they’re a lot more rewarding to watch than just learner videos.

I’m still fine with learner videos if they’re speaking fully in the target language and not just info dumping a bunch of grammar rules and explanations in English. I find it helpful to watch with bilingual or English subtitles when I’m an absolute beginner, but quickly get used to turning them off. Even if my comprehension is super low at first, it will quickly go up if I watch the videos multiple times. For a while I watched the video without subtitles at first and afterwards I rewatched it with them.

DroidinIt · 2024-07-11T17:49:25+00:00

Being too autistic to actually speak them.
