For me it's fun. So i have no issue just audio immersing and reading in foreign languages, i learn all my grammar from natural exposure. Worked really well for Japanese (Started awhile back then dropped it for Korean) just wasn't interested in Japan anymore.

You already got Polish and English under your belt, that is a good start.

You know two languages already, you got an advantage.

Working on Russian at the moment. The Cyrillic alphabet is stupid easy, but the grammar quirks are pretty hard to overcome when coming from an English standpoint.
I guess I should be honing what little Spanish I learned in high school too.

Norwegian is top priority. I'm supposed to move over in a year or so.
I've spoken it too, when I was like 5yo, but since forgotten.

Then there is running Russian and some other shit. And maybe Swedish.

Let me rephrase;

Immersion helps after you know the basics of the language. I follow the AJATT method, not only with Japanese but with all languages i will be attempting, so if you're interested, check it out.

After you read through a beginner book, immersion will help. You will be able to pick out words, and the language will solidify in your head.

Even if you don't know what they're saying, you will be able to hear the separate words. You'll be able to identify that what is being said is a word.

Thus when you learn the said word it will stick a lot better.

I have always wondered about Vietnamese.
I hear that it has a lot of tones, but the reading looks easy as hell, i've never seen that long of a word in Vietnamese either.

Might have to look into Vietnamese too. How is the grammar?

I just like the aesthetics of the language. And I speak three European languages already so European languages wouldn't be a challenge
>English - Germanic
>French - Romance
>Bosnian - Slavic
I also tried to learn Chinese but speaking it is super difficult. However, reading and writing is super easy. Which is funny because all my Chinese/Taiwanese friends can hardly write/read because they think its difficult.

I was learning Norwegian, just lost interest. But, i know enough grammar (Literally almost identical to English) so... If i were to read a Norwegian text, i'd just have to look up words.

The issue with Norwegian is that there is a lot of words that don't mean what you think they mean, Norwegian has a lot of sayings. That is what really threw me off.

But you're immersing right now... Anon, you think in your own native language, you connect to media in it.

Unless you literally are sitting in a dark room, you're still immersing. (Dark room that doesn't include a computer)

I said other native language, I.e. besides English, being bilingual. Half the speakers can't even read it because it's not an official language of any country and half of them (largely the same people, I'd bet) are a diaspora. But besides that I guess you're right, and I hate to admit a frogposter is right.

Another thing is that it's overshadowed by its own history because God spoke it or something like that.

I'm currently in the process of learning russian. Finally got the case conjugations down and some core vocabulary, but still need to work a lot on the practical use of the language. And I have finnish as a secondary project. Have been dedicating some more time to it lately, trying to grasp the rules for consonant gradation, which can be a pain, but I guess the rest will be easier once you've internalized them.

German is almost fluent, looking to live there for a little to finish it.
Russian is shit, almost conversational.
French is also shit, though due to its similarity to english I can get along alright.
Plan on learning arabic once I have russian. Maybe spanish too.

It's one of the Biblical languages.

It's what they used for Passion of the Christ. Also Darius in Civ V

That's what I meant about it being "overshadowed". I'm sure you want me to teach it to you but that can't be done in one thread.
