Anyone want to learn a language with me?

[IrishinTN]

I'm getting a little frustrated already. It is not explaing the plural usage of words, so I continually get them wrong. Or I am just stupid. Ugh. Maybe this time next year I'm typing this all in Spanish.

meant to be the hardest of them all to learn

At one point I had been teaching myself Polish to try to converse with my grandfather, whose first language was Polish.

Then he died and I stopped caring to try.

But now I'm kinda back into wanting to learn a language. My supervisor's first language is Polish, so I'm sure I could try out some of my phrases on him, lol

If you are doing it on your computer try looking at the comments button after the question. Most of the time if I don't know the rule that caused me to get it wrong someone has already asked and answered.

So I put this phrase into google translate because I was 99% sure that you were trying to pull one over on me (tell me it meant "Happy Friday" so I'd tell it to my supervisor when in Polish it actually meant "Go F*** yourself" or something awful like that and I'd get fired).

BUT - you were telling the truth.

And now I feel like a jerk. This board has made me become jaded

Slightly off subject, but since all of you in this thread are obviously interested in languages, I can't recommend strongly enough that you listen to The Learning Company's "The History of Human Language" by John McWhorter.

I am getting so frustrated with this crap. There are so many ins and outs of this language that aren't even esplained, they just tell you your wrong. I don't feel like I've leaned anything in the past month. Really pissing me off.

Try going to the comments if you get one wrong and don't understand why. Usually I've found that someone asks the same question I would've.

That does help. I am going to practice for a while before I move on again. I need to come to grips with what I've learned before I keep adding new stuff.

That's a good idea, I've had to take a break from the lessons because I'm going through law school exams/ bar applications/ graduation stuff. Almost done!

So I'm still trying this and do it 3-4 times a week. I am still struggling but somehow this thing says I am 48% fluent. It's full of crap.

I see you are 48% fluent, as well...

Haven't been able to do it at all this summer. Bar studying suuuuuuuuuuuucks.

I'm at 52% for Spanish. I don't do it every day anymore but at least 4 times a week I would say. It's definitely helped me relearn a lot of the vocabulary at a minimum. And I can translate just about anything. Creating my own sentences is a different animal.

That is my problem. I can understand a lot of what is said and translate those sentences, but speaking it is a whole other story. I screw it up constantly. I have a Mexican preacher at my church so I told him I was trying to learn Spanish but really struggling when it came to speaking real sentences. He suggested watching a spanish language tv channel with the english subtitles going. He said he did that for hours when learning english. Sounds like a good idea, actually.

Just know, when you meet a very good looking Latina, call her a "Cochina"... It'll impress the hell out of her....

Yeah i'd reccomend that too. After a while you don't even look at the subtitles. It's pretty easy to watch a show also where you are familiar with the content and repeated phrases.

Btw if you think Mexican spanish is hard, you should listen to Castillian Spanish (the spanish they speak in spain) as its totally confusing to listen to with all the lisps involved!
