After a year or two of not studying, I'm finally getting around to studying Japanese again. Don't really have any goals for the Language other than to read Japanese literature and be able to speak to others.
I actually thought about learning Russian too in order to be able to read old Soviet era Science and Mathematics texts, but at this stage in learning Japanese, I don't think it's such a good idea.

>But here you can and probably should use an article, especially with "Latijn." I'm sorry I can't explain to you why that's the case. Would it make more sense if I said "de nederlandse taal" or just "nederlands" in that case? For Latijn I think I understand, maybe since its the subject?
Dankjewel voor de hulp :)

What age kids read Le Petit Prince (in french)? Could a ~3-4 year old read it or is it a bit more advanced than that?

>Vragen het meest recent ding dat ik heb gekocht was wat wiet lol Ik weet het niet, en het boeit me niet. Ik focus me op wat ik doe, en da's prima. Ik hou van mijn vriendengroep. Het is klein, maar ze zijn supportief, aardig, en grappig. Nederlands leren is de tijd waard, want het introduceerde me in de taalkunde, en nu is het mijn favoriete hobby.

I was going to try to learn Chinese, but the tones really get and I always end up quitting.

>but the tones really get The tones really get what? Also, are tones in Chinese anything similar to pitch accent in Japanese?
Jeremiah Rogers
How are you learning it? Massive respect btw

Muh tones are just cope.
>The tone cope >I remember having normalfriends in my Chinese class (which was a waste of time, just get the DeFrancis books) who would say that Chinese wasn't too hard "except for the tones." Mandarin Chinese has four tones that distinguish words. If you've sat through your first day in Chinese class or even seen a YouTube video on Chinese, you know this.
>Normies see this alien concept of having tones and they turn their brains off. There were kids in my class who said they'd "just not learn" the tones. Which is sort of like saying you're going to learn English, but not the vowels "because they're too hard."
>Actually around half of the world's languages have tones. They are not bizarre or highly "marked" in an objective sense. They are much more common that the "th" sound in English. You can bear it. lukesmith.xyz/articles/learn-chinese
you can learn tones. you already know tones, you just don't know you know it. take how questions are inflected, for example. the ONLY difference between: "That's a man." and "That's a man?!?" is tone.

oh, is that where they use an apostrophe with the feminine form to represent gender neutral or w/e? i've heard that some people are now pronouncing it as a glottal stop.
Andrew Morgan
Pretty much. Instead of the apostrophe, we're supposed to use the asterik (*) though
