they will rather tell you how greedy dictator Stalin divided the germany himself
This is enraging.
I also like how English schoolbooks tell the story of a bad Soviet Union trying to grab all the world and make it into colonies
Those of you who can understand German and are interested in German-German relations, should consider getting this book series: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14739858-deutschland-1948-bis-1999-in-10-b-nden these are the original Archive entries of Western Germany but surprisingly relatively neutral.
At the time England was a world colonial Empire
Yes, I read everything. 😄
@Tenta You're lucky to know languages. In our world access to information is one of the greatest perks after intelligence itself.
i wanted to learn polish
I wish I could read that
learnt just a bit 😃
I use my language knowledge mostly for that: gathering information but also for entertainment like watching stuff on Youtube.
I also follow some Polish sites, even some communist ones.
So far I have read only one real book in Polish: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Desert_and_Wilderness
I got about 80%, I believe. When reading, I’m usually too lazy to look up words but this helps your reading comprehension in the long run.
Slavic and Germanic languages (apart from, maybe, English) prefer building new words from native roots and affixes, so if you encounter a new word, you can inspect both the root and the affixes. Thanks to the context, it’s highly likely you will guess the meaning correctly.
Finnish language is a recordsman in this
they have nearly no words that you can recognize
It’s a Finno-Ugric language, that’s why.
So far I have only seriously looked into various Indo-European languages and don’t plan to take on a non-IE language in near future. I already have enough on my plate.
I don’t know it, sorry.
Polish is hard to read for me. I can understand Bulgarian and Serbian much better.
Even Czech
Good!
Of course there’s crap from Ukrainians.
@Tenta Still fun to see Ukrainian nationalist reactions. They make my day always.
Now they are trying to avoid even so interesting and relative topic.
I think if you bring CIA papers as an evidence most countries will hype. But to think about it is too much for Ukrainian population. They've got so many problems atm
I understand enough written Ukrainian to read stuff they write when they believe others can’t follow them.
