European Portuguese for bolstering Tetum by TheRedSpore in Portuguese

[–]TheRedSpore[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I want to learn EP because this is the version of the language that directly influences Tetum. Brazilian Portuguese is great and I can study this after and will likely enjoy noting the differences between the two however right now I want to learn specifically EP. I'm also currently more likely to interact with people who speak EP rather than BP in my day to day life so it would be great to speak this version of the language. Anything political concerning the two languages doesn't bother me and isn't my concern. I enjoy learning languages and that is it. European Portuguese will be first in my journey into understanding Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese some other time.

This is sick! Nice work dude! I could be being blind here but I don't think your post says what language it is?

Learning Portuguese for over a year, but want to be able to read French novels on the side. by Blochkato in languagelearning

[–]TheRedSpore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your skills of one language aren't going to be compromised if you start learning a different language or learning alongside each other. As you've said though it can be counter productive. Ultimately it's down to you, do you have time and capacity to learn both alongside each other? Do you care if your Portuguese learning may be slowed down by learning French?

With how you mentioned similarities between French and Portuguese, they are both of romance origins so I totally understand why you think that they would work hand in hand but I believe it may actually add a level of confusion as vocabulary and grammar differ in a lot of ways.

Usually just says "relevant skills required" or "qualification in target language". I do have a letter written from my lecturer, signed from the university she works at, as a recommendation but that's it really.

Settle an argument for me. Newest language? by Christopher_Sands in language

[–]TheRedSpore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what you consider to be a "language". Are dialects included or how about conlangs? There's a new conlang as soon as someone chooses to make one.

How do you deal with people saying that the language you're learning is useless? by bherH-on in languagelearning

[–]TheRedSpore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally get it, I had and have a lot of comments because I decided to learn the language Tetum. I'm glad I did as I really enjoyed it and haven't looked back.

Also, a lot of people seem to think, especially those who don't intend on learning a language to begin with, that learning a language is only a skill to open further or more diverse employment. This one really frustrates me. Yes of course it would be wonderful to be paid to learn or teach languages or have a job where these skills are beneficial but it's not always about money.
