どやて日本語を勉強しますか
you have successfully made language learning look like an appealing cope. should i fall for the esperanto meme? it's a constructed language that's supposed to be really easy to learn and while not very useful it will make learning other languages easier.
Esperanto is pretty easy tbh. The only actual hard part is getting used to the accusative case because they don't have it in English. If you know a language that already has that, it's no problem.
On one hand the part about learning other languages being easier is true. You'll get accustomed to the method and habits that you need to learn any language, like reviewing everyday, getting used to reading and speaking in a foreign tongue, building vocabulary &c. You'll also end up learning a lot of vocabulary used in other languages. I also recall that about 60% come from Romance languages (Latin, French, Spanish &c.) 30% from Germanic (German, Dutch, English &c.) and the rest from Slavic, Uralic and other language families. Once you build up enough vocabulary, you'll be able to recognize cognates with many other European languages.
On the other hand, it's pretty useless by itself. You'll only be able to use it online, like the Lernu forums or Esperamondo. however, there's a fair amount of literature in the language such as Marvirinstrato, Kumeŭaŭa, as well as many poems which are worth checking out. That's the main reason I learnt Esperanto, simply to read the many novels and books that were written in it.
If you just want it for making other languages easier though, it's going to be faster to just learn your target language right away rather than learn Esperanto first.

pretty easy doesn't seem like the highest degree of ease, do you know any more useful languages that are just as easy or easier? i don't really have a target language but spanish is a classic choice. i also learned a bit of german in middle school because it was le unique choice.
Esperanto is the easiest language possible. No exceptions to the grammar, 100% phonetic spelling, you'll already know between 30-90% of the vocabulary, no new pronunciation to learn (if you're an Anglophone) , half the words are derived from others, "bad" is just "ungood", "dark" is just "unbright".
Easiest language is probably either Swedish or Dutch. Only really useful in those specific places though.
Spanish and French are both easy enough and have much wider spread and use.
Language being "easy" depends mostly on what languages the speaker already knows.
Me, as an agglutinative language speaker, fixed word order isn't a thing. We can swap around the word order.
In languages with barely any inflection (like English and Chinese), certain word order must be learned and used. It is a difficulty in itself
Finnish is an agglutinative language? interesting, that was one of my main roadblocks in starting to learn Russian, since word order just doesn't matter at all due to declensions and cases and such where the form of the word is where it's meaning relative to a sentence comes from.
I've just thought about how much fun learning Esperanto sounds like. Might do it as a fun little side quest if anyone is also interested. We could correspond in Esperanto, that would be interesting lol

Yes, very much so.
Finnish has more cases than Russian but less adpositions (due to cases).
Go for Esperanto if you like it.
I don't see it as a useful language so I don't bother learning it.
However I'm interested in it because I like languages in general
O
I want to learn Russia. Already understand a lot but can't say shit.
I recommend you repeat sentences you hear and try to understand what they mean.
O
I understand the Russian grammar, I am a native speaker of another Slavic language.
Nice. Im learning polish, but this will help greatly. Thanks!
I think polish is one of the hardest of the Slavic languages because it has more grammatical genders
Neuter, masculine animate, masculine inanimate, feminine animate and feminine inanimate
Im half polish. So im forced to. I can speak it but the writing is gibberish to me.
Im planning to learn danish tbh.
Any reasons ?
Not really. I want to learn it to greenlandmaxx
Good choice.
It's closely related to English so it should be an easy language to learn for people who already know English
You better be tall or you're wasting your time, netherlands people are tall as hell, if you aren't at least 6ft you are wasting your time learning such a language.
If anyone wants to learn language quickly and efficiently, I recommend this method. It's called listening-reading and it's really intense but fun at the same time. It's addicting once you get into it, and it suits any language.
This is cool ngl. I'll try this out and see how well it works.
Country name sounded "netherlandsy" to me lol, its in Scandinavia, I guess I'm geographically incorrect, but I pretty much think of all cold places with majority white people that have "vikingish" sounding names as "netherlands" JFL.
I will be using this. I'm going to learn Spanish and Sign Language. Thanks.

ok faggots, what language should I learn? Im between german and italian, I already speak spanish and english
German seems like a better language but italian must be a lot easier considering I already speak spanish
im gonna start learning romanian soon
That's an interesting language.
One of the few romance languages that still has cases
Kiitosta
I will learn ricelanguage and seamaxx thx
I need motivation tbh. I dont have one.
Do you find any language interesting?
Literally what is the point of learning another language if you aren't Chad
I get maybe learning japanese for anime or to move and JBW but thats still a stretch
I get maybe learning japanese for anime or to move and JBW but thats still a stretch
To get more cope material
Learning a language is too hard tbh
It takes some time.
Keep learning new words.
With juat 2000 words you can start having conversations
i have read somewhere that u need like 600 hours for germanic language, is it true?
Germanic languages are really easy for English speakers. I recommend you start today! Might even faster than that
I will start pretty soon, need to get rid of metal in my leg.
D
Fuck I want to learn a new language but no motivation. Like you, I want to learn mandarin or japanese but since I'm from the west, Asian languages are harder to learn. How many languages do you speak @FinnCel, also gz on 20k boyo 
i kind of learned how to read japanese a while ago (excluding kanji)
it was fun tbh
it was fun tbh
Im learning english here
D
Did you also learn how to speak? Like can you carry yourself in a casual conversation?
i cant speak,maybe barely
i can only really read the synbols
D
Oh alright, would be a good cope to learn to the point where you can hold a conversation. Might start ngl
i couldnt find any japanese person to converse with so id probably just forget it
D
Yeah, good point but if you watch anime or other japanese media it'd likely stick in your head. I never speak swedish but still know it fluently
I was considering learning Jap or Korean cause ideas lots of manga/eebnovels cope but I am unmotivated and I also heard Asians hate curries. so I haventt made progress learning it
guides me
I think I will try to learn my mother tongue and move back to the country my parents came from, assuming I don't kill myself before then, Canada is too cucked for me
