Goddamn
LOPF 2019 will be held entirely in reconstructed Proto-Indo-European
Right?
YES
Obvi
Can confirm
ya it's pretty bad
Are you even white if you can't speak Sindarin?
I’m pretty good at Spanish, just because I loved the idea of learning a second language as a kid and it was kind of the default in the US. I’ve learned some Latin, German, and Greek for fun more recently.
you'll never learn by filling in blanks
you have to learn to think in sentences
Cratos, Reks!
That's why even Duolingo is better than the crap they use in school
Took three years of Spanish in high school and learned a little, then I moved to California and learned a lot
@Jacob you don't learn if you don't practice! Also 1000000000% of American foreign language education is learning vocabulary words and never really stringing thoughts together
Duolingo is actually a pretty decent resource to get familiar with sentence structure and vocabulary.
it's much more important to know how to make a sentence than knowing how to say "ostrich" in spanish
Ostricho
probably not even wrong
Lol
ya I agree with all that
@YourFundamentalTheorum Unfortunately you are right. I think at some point they will eclipse the Jews in cultural power. We often forget their ascendancy.
the only word I know in Polish is usta
Because of veggie tales
The Vietnamese guy who runs our machine shop said the Chinese are taking over Vietnam by offering people free power, water and cellular in exchange for speaking Chinese instead of Vietnamese
I know a few words for miscellaneous objects in Polish, just from a grandfather who would slip in and out of using it.
@ophiuchus Dzien dobry
ok i know that one
but that's about it
Dobry Wieczor
also something like "oferowac" because I heard it in a civ game
@Alexander Pechorinare you ready for Chinese speaking Africans?
I'm assuming it's "offer, give"
French speaking Africans are already weird
lets all learn swahili
Jak sie masz
I lived on the island of Cyprus for two years so I’m fairly fluent in Greek And I can confirm that it is a difficult language
