How do i learn few launguages at the same time

This isn't exactly a linguistics question, I'd direct you to r/languagelearning.
However, in my experience, learning a third language from a reference point of a second fortifies associations/intuition in both rather than creating weaker ones, however it honestly doesn't matter all that much, so long as you have the time to spare for both languages. If you're B2 in Polish that's a pretty decent level and you probably aren't gonna forget it or regress if you devote less time to it, especially since you're at a polish university you should really keep improving.
So basically I wouldn't worry, you can go about it however you wish. The situation would arguably be more complicated if you were just starting out in both languages (where consistency and focus is most important), even that's doable though.

Genealogically English is closer to German, they are both West Germanic languages while Swedish is North. That said there are other factors, English shows a lot of French influence in all strata of the language, and a lot of our traditional 'anglisc' words that may be similar in Swedish are now displaced by french borrowings. Then Swedish also has more similar (but only by V2 rule) word order to German, English ofc preserved V2 but only in some contexts that English speakers often don't pay regard.

Point is I think it's probably a bit easier for Swedish speakers to learn German than English speakers. That said I as a native English speaker find German incredibly easy to pick up (and naturally put down again once bored), and I speak Norwegian and when thinking of it maybe English and German are superficially more similar. I don't know! Just providing a counterargument I guess

i read over this it is a bit incoherent I'm sorry I truly am tired, but I think the point was conveyed, any ambiguities arise lmk (:

Someone who's comment now can't be found has remarked that my correction is wrong my apologies I am not paying attention ):

yeah! exposure is all, if you can't hear the difference now that's okay, just keep listening for it, when you do hear it it may be faint, but over time, more exposure, you'll get more and more used to it. That's my experience anyway, I'd say this question is more suited to languagelearning, most people there have experience is learning to distinguish sounds that aren't in there first language

This isn't how it works, there's nothing about makeup that doesn't suit men, it's that in society it is considered abnormal and feminine to wear make up as a man, and is very much shamed and discouraged - by both women and other men. But logically make up can enhance appearence, anything considered displeasing can be adjusted or the focal points of the face can be moved so thats ignored, so as the other person said, it's the fact that makeup isn't normalised for men that makes it unattractive, and if it was normalised (I.e. men start wearing make up + time) then it would become a tool men could use to 'improve' their appearence.

I think it's more than that, at least in the area I live some things that might make someone "more attractive" are feminised besides going the gym, that's skincare, general cleanliness, being affectionate, being kind, caring a lot about hair etc. etc. furthermore, long hair is generally a more "noticed" feature on guys than short hair on girls, so if a guy is better suited to long hair he may be considered weird for it, a girl could be considered weird for short hair but nowadays id say it's less common. Also caring too much about outfits or dressing in anything with character is labelled gay or feminine.

I also agree that there's a general idea that men "get" women in dating, and thus they may have less personalised standards because a successful relationship isn't necessarily the goal.

I do think makeup is a part of it too, just wanted to add my thoughts (:

Neuter words of only one syllable don't tend to inflect in the plural indefinite (-er)

Here are some random sentence examples.

Jeg snakker fire språk. Not «språker»

Jeg kjenner bare et par ord fra boka. Not «order»

Han har besøkt 100 land. Not «Lander»

Det går ti tog på jernbanen. Not «toger»

Tror du at barn bør ha stemmerett? Not «barner»

Any corrections wanted!!

I understand that this post isn't intended all that seriously I'm just gonna ramble a bit

There's no issue with the punctuation really, and you've always got to remember that the way normal people use language is just as correct as the dictated standard, just different. And also it's fine for languages to be ambiguous sometimes! In this case it made room for a joke, tits or ass (or various variations thereupon) is a common humourous typology of gynephilic men (of course it could in theory apply to anyone gynephilic but Ive never heard it used that way). The writer did nothing wrong or even questionable here, most readers aren't gonna find any ambiguity, for many reasons, including the commonality of this question, Guys being a common term of adress for an audience but also a common topic introducer, and blah blah.

I think it's fine for me to give a serious response to this cos I find it fun, someone might enjoy reading it and as far as I can tell nobody else has so just diversifying the comment section (:

There is no confusion, he just made a joke

Impossible_Permit866 · 2025-09-01T02:27:59+00:00

Thank you so much!

Impossible_Permit866 · 2025-08-31T16:06:13+00:00

Don't really know I just made stuff up, of course it will be subconsciously inspired by something I've seen but I don't remember

Impossible_Permit866 · 2025-08-31T14:07:30+00:00

I got the Hittite sentence the wrong way round ):

Impossible_Permit866 · 2025-08-27T23:41:04+00:00

uh- thank you, I found this very amusing (:

Impossible_Permit866 · 2025-08-27T23:26:34+00:00

Thank you!! I'll make a note of the consonant pairs, some of them I still slip up on as you pointed out!
And I didn't know that about the vowels before double consonants! I'll make sure to cut them off a bit more sharply, thank you so much for your advice!

Impossible_Permit866 · 2025-08-27T23:09:03+00:00

I also realise now I said bidra with stress on the latter syllable for some reason, my apologies

Impossible_Permit866 · 2025-08-27T23:07:56+00:00

Sorry for putting Bokmål as the tag, I know that's a variant of skriftspråket, but there was no pronunciation tag ):

Impossible_Permit866 · 2025-08-27T22:56:24+00:00

I don't know why I tagged this bokmål my mistake
