Japanese. At least I was pretty seriously studying it. I haven't really been at it for years now because of focusing on other things at the moment.
>>256547>learning japanese, i mean, tryingDon't feel bad if overwhelmed. I've studied it for over 4 years now and just could maybe, barely pass JLPT N2, studied in Yokohama for 4 months but that means nothing and there's still a ridiculously long way to go.

I've got a lot of languages I'm dabbling in, but I'm seriously going through Finnish just because it's the last one I started, and I want to say I've properly learned one. After that I'm doing Latin/French/Spanish, Chinese, or Japanese. Then maybe Russian, German, Arabic.

>>260831>>260832Nta. I'm not familiar with Russian lit, is it about being able to read it in it's original language then? Does Russian translate poorly to English?

>>260834If reading is not a hobby of yours, you might not understand. Translation are okay but they are not great, even if the translator is talented.
Russian lit is sublime. If it had to be ranked, it'd be in the top 5. It seems worth it to read it as it was written.
I do not regret learning English to read Shakespeare and co, and I keep learning other languages to read other books. It's one of the many reason one might learn a foreign language.

>>260835Interesting, thanks. I do like reading but only non-fiction, so I guess that's different.

What's so good about Russian literature?

Russians have always been the most efficient at oppressing themselves first and foremost. They went from feudalism straight to the absolute monarchy and kept that shit all the way to 20th century. And when it ended, they chose a system that has effectively murdered millions of them in a couple of decades. When American university students were protesting Vietnam, the Russian ones were enduring mandatory labor. Rampant censorship throughout most of Russia's history.

>>257051Is it just about the fun of learning a language for you since you want to learn so many seemingly random ones?

I am learning Japanese and I have always been very annoyed by women who claim they study 6 languages at once and are very braggy about it. Every single one of them in my life wasn't actually able to speak most, if any, of those languages on a level past what Duolingo can teach you. Especially ones who are native English speakers.

The shit eating is really explicit too, clearly he has a fetish for actually devouring shit

Well, the trauma of war has very clearly dehumanized and made you a hate-filled husk of a person. I'm sorry to hear that and I hope it's not permanent and goes away once the war is over.

I'm seriously impressed with you all trying to learn super difficult languages like Russian and Japanese. I'm learning a language too but it's in the same family as my native language so there's some familiarity with vocab and the way sentences are built. I'd scratch my brains out if I had to learn something wildly different like Russian.
Anonymous 261685
Do any nonas have experience with learning language from the same language family as your native? For what pitfalls and mistakes should I look out? (to be more precise, I'm Russian wanting to learn Polish, don't ask why, I just think it is cool language)
Anonymous 261689
>>261685I don't have experience with that language family but I've learned two other languages in my native language family and I think the easiest pitfall is words that look similiar to a word in your native language but have completely different meanings. Nothing major though.

trying to learn russian but i'm too self-conscious to find anyone to practice speaking with although i understand a reasonable amount by now. there's nowhere to take lessons where i live either. so i'm just focusing on listening/reading for now, which is okay.

Trying to study Russian as well :D tbh I am surprised to see that so many study Russian here.
Besides that I'm studying Swedish but it's not my choice. Thanks to Finland we have to study it and pass test at university to even graduate lol.
