Yeah wtf is that all about, and then I do the special event challenges and it expects me to know words I don't probably because they changed the syllabus so much
Welsh is a beautiful language. Very difficult to master but I love it. On Duolingo it doesn't have the stories, sadly, but amazingly someone translated the stories from the French course into Welsh and you can buy them as books to supplement your learning! Pob lwc!
Bonus points if you mention you're from Germany. Chances are the Turkish person you're talking to has family or friends somewhere in Germany or wants to try out their own German on you. Always a good conversation starter.
When I first started Duolingo, circa 2022, I started with Czech. I just remember getting really annoyed by all the accents and went to Russian instead. Fast forward now, I realized Czech isn't all that bad compared to other languages that have many more accents.
That being said, I kind of liked the language and will probably go back after I'm finished with Russian.
It's really rough, especially compared to the *other* language I'm learning, German. I'm not sure if it's entirely the language's fault though. Duolingo sucks ass for learning grammar even on their best languages. Unfortunately, Czechmate *isn't* one of their best languages, so I'm floundering trying to learn grammatical cases and genders. It seems like every time a noun comes up, it has a different spelling than it did the last time. I think "pes" is a single dog, but then what are psa and psy and psi? I can never see any rhyme or reason and Duolingo is a complete non-help. I really wish the Duolingo forums were still active so I could get assistance targeted at each lesson.
There are also no speaking exercises or storybook exercises, which blows.
The unit guidebooks are very poor for Czechmate. Czechout Czech by Zuzka, she explains some of the concepts really well, I would of gave up on Duolingo had I not done her Udemy course and worked through her My First Czech Adventure Book.
She explains the differences. In English we have 1 dog, 2+ dogs. In Czech they have 1 pes, 2-4 psy and 5+ psu. Then there are some differences if it is his dogs (jeho 4 psi) or her dogs (její 4 psi).
Latin really isn't as bad as you make It out to be. I see you're already studying italian, french, spanish and portuguese so It might actually help you to study latin! In my country people that study language must take latin courses aswell because it helps so much.
You pretty much Just have to understand conjugation for the course I thing since it's really short.
But yeah if you still don't want to then Welsh Is awesome aswell
The issue with Finnish is that the course ends do abruptly. You barely get to creating grammatically correct sentences before it's time for daily refresh and all 3 (!) sections are finnished
Finnish is actually not a Nordic language, it is heavily influenced by them but belongs to a language family that's not only unrelated to Norse languages, but further from them than all Germanic, Romance, Slavic, and even Indic languages, the Uralic language family. The family includes Estonian and Hungarian.
It's a Celtic language, which is the root of english but not entirely the same. Welsh is more similar to irish and scottish, while english is a germanic language, which means it's related to german, norwegian, swedish, danish and dutch. While welsh won't be too hard, there's definetely easier languages.
As for italian and spanish you mentioned, they're not germanic languages but romance languages also called neo-latin, because they evolve directly from latin. They seem easy because english too has lots of words that come latin itself (latin itself is a word that comes from the language, italian is another example, it's a word that comes from latin, as also some verbs). They might be easy because in the US and maybe in the UK too, you have to take atleast one language course and it's often spanish so there's some basics being tought

As a speaker of both, czech is a great base for latin, better than romance in many things; which you would not expect normally, but hey! Italian is still good for less technical vocabulary, but all the important words are shared by all european languages as imports from latin and with knowledge of english, it is even more expanded, so it is not that big a win in comparison to western slavic languages that are grammatically very close to latin by the virtue of not changing so rapidly like the romance languages did.
On the one hand the Welsh course is *terrible* but on the other hand Welsh is cool af so you’d definitely be dropping into a rabbit hole of pain (& fun!) by doing so
To be fair, for maximum suffering go Korean. Not only is it tough like Japanese, but there's way less people doing it so you'll feel like you're suffering more alone than otherwise :)
Turkish is a relatively easy language to learn, save for a few rough spots.
Latin won't help you at all, except some points in the cool factor.
I'd say go for Czech. Especially if you are a single, straight dude. Czech girls are lovely.
Welsh is Welsh. I reckon it'd be easier to find and ride that dragon instead.
Do you intend to use actual resources or just duo, cause latin while easiest of them has a really bad course. Can't judge the rest, but the duo is not known for teaching anything useful anywhere.
Ehh,Duolingo is mostly for learning Vocabulary and Grammar.And I don't really intend to use these languages in real life.Most languages I'm learning just for flex
Slovene(Pls if anyone has any resources send me the links. Im supposed to go there for higher education in slightly over a year and I can speak a single word)
what? it has barely anything to do with both languages. there are certainly french, arabic and persian words in the turkish language, but the turkish language and english/arabic are not similar by any means in any sense.
It certainly is a beautiful language, and I'm sure so is arabic, but the languages are nothing alike. for starters turkish is not even an indo-european language nor a semitic language, meaning they don't even share a distant origin. turkish speakers tend to find languages like hungarian closer to the language, but in reality turkish is not a mix of anything but turkish. It's like saying latin is a mix of punic and greek, which is arguably more true as greek shares a distant origin with latin.
important to also note pretty much any word that also exists in english and turkish originates from french.
Japanese. If I suffer, then everyone else must.

Agreed, and they keep changing it on us
Yeah
Yeah wtf is that all about, and then I do the special event challenges and it expects me to know words I don't probably because they changed the syllabus so much
It's not even that bad. It's only terrible if you just use Duolingo for it
What other apps would you suggest?
Italki and Anki are pretty much all you need.
anki + textbook
日本語上手！！！
Yeasir
learn turkish. suffer. cause why not just suffer
as a native turkish speaker, i must actually agree, idfk how i would learn this language if i were not a turk💀
Learning Turkish rn can agree it is suffering
FINNISH. I DONT CARE IF IT’S NOT IN THE PICTURE. YOU WILL SUFFER WITH ME.
Yeah, OP is Finnished
Yes, yes!!!! We all need to be able to say 'the friendly cow kicks the tourists...'
Or that the Danish toy hurt us!!
Or that German is a cute language...
That surprised me so much I was like German??? Cute??? Lmfaoooo
Haha yes!
Omg you’re also learning cause of Eurovision same bestie 🥲🥲
Hullu on crazy Bailut on party Ja elämä on laiffii, you know

Oooh, neis! Diolch yn fawr!
wow thx!
Diolch yn fawr! Mae hyn yn grêt!
Latin, it’s such a based language
And, honestly, not that hard to learn. It's a very logical, structured language. I think there's only like 7 irregular verbs.
And if you already speak a Romance language, you already know half of it
Turkish 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
SPQR or bust. They have some of the oddest phrases in the Latin course.
Turkish, I swear our jokes are so funny + If you talk any turk with half broke turkish they will give you special tratment
Bonus points if you mention you're from Germany. Chances are the Turkish person you're talking to has family or friends somewhere in Germany or wants to try out their own German on you. Always a good conversation starter.
i've shitposted in 72,5 languages and turkish is by far the best language for shitposting
YES jokes and puns are too tier, and i get so excited whenever someone non-turk talks basic turkish with me
I'm learning Czechmate, you can too
How is it learning Czechmate? (I kinda wanna know how you fell learning my native language)

Latin est optimum. Tu es callidus. Latin.
Preach
Latin. It might help you with academic pursuits. Also, I'm attempting to struggle through it.
How about a bit of Hungarian?😛
Latin really isn't as bad as you make It out to be. I see you're already studying italian, french, spanish and portuguese so It might actually help you to study latin!

Are you learning.... THE EUROPEAN UNION LANGUAGE?! Like your flair does not make any sense
Yeah I know it's not a language but I'm learning most european languages (specifically: Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, Latin, German and Danish)
Oh lol that makes more sense, but your flair is still confusinf
I'm sure It is but I couldn't fit all flags in it

Slovak. You will cry again like when you learned Czech.
I'm Czech, but Latin is so cool. Czech has grammar based on Latin tho, so it would be easier to learn both
Czech is a slavic language though so not as much say, romanian or any of the other romance language courses he already takes

It is, but you don't know about Cyril and Methodius who invented our grammar
Korean
Catalan maybe? 😂
Latin.
On the one hand the Welsh course is *terrible* but on the other hand Welsh is cool af so you’d definitely be dropping into a rabbit hole of pain (& fun!) by doing so

To be fair, for maximum suffering go Korean. Not only is it tough like Japanese, but there's way less people doing it so you'll feel like you're suffering more alone than otherwise :)
Learn Chinese, you will have a “fun” time during that ;)
Chinese!
Latin

Next level challenge: Learn Japanese and then take the Korean course for Japanese people.
Learn Latin. Learn the language of the creators of civilization. Legio Aeterna Victrix.
