Is the russian word этo changed by what word it immediately follows? for example are Этo выcoкaя дeвyшкa. and Этa дeвyшкa выcoкaя. both correct grammatically?

How should the syllabic R in Sanskrit be pronounced? An retroflex approximant like "err" in American English, or a trilled syllabic r like in Czech? And I also heard it pronounced like both of these mixed.

Legitimately trying hard to learn viet. Have no problem memorizing 10 words a day but it's completely worthless because I struggle to make correct tones, even if it sounds right when I say it out loud I'm usually wrong so I have to record myself practicing words and then listen back so I know if it's right.

I kinda learned french up to a C1ish level by myself but I can't really find anyone to talk with in french cause every frenchman I meet online is either a normie who's never online or only ever plays video games
Open L'étranger by Camus and try to read it, google translate and dictionary for what you don't understand, once you finish it you have a pretty solid grasp of the basics and can branch out
you won't have access to anything interesting learning french. most french movies and tv-show sucks dicks, music is even worse. translated novels are as good as the french originals. french is also useless if you plan to travel

Honestly don't listen to this guy , you can ask whichever nation if its worth learning their language and 9/10 times the answer will be no. There's some good shit but most people don't really know much of anything besides American media and their country's pop culture (which does usually suck)
Michael Fisher

learning portuguese would help you communicate with your ancestors
For european languages outside of English, German, Russian, French, Spanish and Portuguese (in no particular order) are the best. They all have good economies, rich history and good culture and many people even outside of the country speak it. French is spoken in much of Africa, Spanish and Portuguese in the America etc. Plus if you wanna learn any other more specific language afterwars, having a knowledge of one of these langauges will massively help you (German to Dutch/Norweigan, Russian to Polish, French to Italian etc)
Other European languages are more specific and you should only learn them if you have a particular reason desu. Unless you plan on living there don't bother with Scandinavia basically everyone there is fluent in English.
You can learn Latin but it's a difficult language on top of being, well, dead.
As for non-European languages, you will have an easier time learning PIE shit, so Iranian, most Indian languages etc.
If you are interested in the Bible you can learn Hebrew, it is not too hard from what I hear but it's an entirely different family. Also if you wanna study the Bible you could learn greek+ancient greek, normal greek is quite easy but ancient greek from what I gather is insanely hard and hteres actually not that much written in it.
Other than that the only languages that are worth learning are Chinese, Arabic, Korean, Japanese. China has fucking awful media (and I say this as someone who is rather pro-China in many ways), and most people there speak English or japanese/korean. Korean is good but it's a language isolate so youre gonna put a lot of time into it (tho I hear its not that hard) and it has an awful birthrate, so unless you really like K-Pop I would advise you not to. Japanese is a solid choice desu, there's definitely a market for it cause of the weebs and japan has quite a rich literary tradition too. But its hard af and the japanese dont like foreigners. No more character arabic is decent

very easy What language are you learning? Why are you learning it? What’s your level on it? Are you optimistic about your studies?
