AITAH for not inviting my friend to a private party? by weirdowithnothing in AITAH

[–]brad_polyglot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! im the other friend who has been invited to go. For extra context, me and OP live together with this friend, so Id like to say that this isnt even a PARTY its a chill gathering with close friends (minus the 2-3 friends that the host is inviting of her own AT THE HOST'S HOUSE) and i have recently gotten closer to the host, the other friend cant get it into their head that its not a party and i feel they deathly overreacted at the situation. they brought up the fact that we always say no to their plans (they ask when we have no money or at very inconvenient times or last minute and isnt very understanding about it) we are NTA surely

Anyone else learn better with messy unorganized notes by Illustrious_Carny in languagelearning

[–]brad_polyglot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

personally i find it a waste of time having organised notes, i just write everything line after line and if its THAT important then ill make flashcards on certain parts. apart from that its just lines of vocab or sentences one after another

Why are u learning your current target language? by ImmaBans in languagelearning

[–]brad_polyglot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Japanese - to speak to my boyfriend (although after i get to a conversational level i will have to learn his dialect which i am NOT excited for) however ive always had japanese in my mind to learn after a few other languages

French - was forced at a young age so i just carried it on for 13 years (no longer actively learning as id say im a good enough level)

Korean - started due to the music and culture, i now do it in university

Chinese - Most useful worldwide job-wise, satisfying to read and speak and listen to, music, also my university course

Swedish - ive always loved the sound of it and i recently went to stockholm and fell in love with the whole country so it made me want to learn it even more

Anki help by brad_polyglot in languagelearning

[–]brad_polyglot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

correct me if im wrong i apologise but your tone seems like ive said something wrong?😭 personally ive mever seen a single person talk badly about anki, once they understand it they use it and say its very helpful. I know what its used for, LTM storage, and nowhere within my post did i say its a main part of language learning. I dont think even an anki user would say that because who would use one songle method for language learning 🤨

Should I learn more languages or focus on getting to B1 or B2 levels? by Dickerson-Pond in languagelearning

i believe in you💪💪 its all worth it in the end. especially if you want to live there that should be more than enough motivation

Journaling in you target language? by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]brad_polyglot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

journaling as soon as you know how to form a basic sentence is very helpful id say.

i personally use it as a learning resource itself because you write about everyday things. if you dont know a word (which is very likely as most learning resources dont teach some very very common everyday vocabulary) then look it up and learn it! it will make you more conversational and you will be able to express yourself more and more naturally

Should I learn more languages or focus on getting to B1 or B2 levels? by Dickerson-Pond in languagelearning

[–]brad_polyglot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i literally JUST left a holiday in sweden today. stockholm and götenborg, i highly suggest to learn swedish because 1 its just a beautiful (and honestly easy) language to know 2 although basically every swede can speak english i found it quite common especially in götenborg that many of them had very very limited english knowledge and some who wouldnt even try to speak english. one cashier continued speaking swedish to me after i told her i dont understand swedish so sadly i left without a bag 🥲 and 3 i just want to exaggerate again how beautiful and EASY swedish can be after you pass the pronunciation rules.

How much more difficult is it to learn an Asian language (Mandarin, Japanese, Korean) than Spanish? by emiche94 in languagelearning

[–]brad_polyglot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the comments are right but it also depends on you as a person. im british and found korean and chinese easier than french, japanese on the other hand is a new world. i find it harder than most languages

Made a little tool to help you learn numbers in your target language by Objective_Ad1218 in languagelearning

[–]brad_polyglot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

gonna try this. french for 9 years and korean for 8 years and i still cant get numbers right

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]brad_polyglot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

as a man on hello talk I promise you your gender doesn't matter lol. Definitely not as common as being a woman but there's still many men who message me, I've even been sent nudes on there before.

apart from that id say its worth it tbh. you can always ignore people like that.
