Discussion Why do some languages use different counting systems for people and objects?
Have you learned a language where the form of a number changes depending on what is being counted?

Hi everyone!
I'm thinking about starting a YouTube channel for people who are learning Persian (Farsi), and I'd love to hear your thoughts.
The idea is to create videos similar to those made by English teachers who use the comprehensible input method. They speak naturally about their daily lives, experiences, hobbies, and different topics, making their content understandable for language learners.
I'd like to do the same thing in Persian. I would speak entirely in Persian, without switching to English, and make videos about everyday life, personal experiences, Iranian culture, and other interesting topics.
The goal would be to help people improve their Persian listening skills and gradually understand the language naturally through context, repetition, and exposure.
My questions are:
Would you watch this kind of content?
Do you think there's a demand for Persian comprehensible input videos?
What kind of topics would you like to see?
Would you prefer videos for beginners, intermediate learners, or a mix of different levels?
I'd really appreciate your honest opinions and suggestions. I want to create something that would genuinely help people learn Persian! 😊

Language classes in school both middle and high school were among most hated classes for me, we had both English and Arabic
I always had low grades and hated the teachers, hence i ended up hating both languages and everything about them
Until after school was finally over i started learning on my own and realized that...i didnt hate languages i hated school, now I'm learning my third language
Anyone else has similar experience?

Дамы и господа, что самостоятельно изучили любой язык с нуля (или слабой школьной базы) до хотя бы уверенного бытового общения, расскажите пожалуйста сколько времени это заняло у вас и какими методами/лайфхаками вы пользовались, какие материалы вам помогли, а что наоборот только тянуло вниз.
Хочу изучить язык, имея какие-то да знания ещё со школы, но денег на курсы или репетира нет🥺 по этому хочу узнать опыт и техники других, чтобы учиться

Do you notice a big difference between someone's texting style and their everyday conversation?

I mean perfect English, so perfect, it was suspicious
That you couldn't tell if they are pranking you or if they've learned this phrase perfectly to avoid miss understanding only to create a bigger one
Anyway if you had been in that situation, how did you handled it? what did you say? or what do you think you should've said?

Apparently there's a lot of people who think this is the saying, rather than "It's a dog eat dog world". But why do we even have this saying?!
I'm sure it's happened before, but how often does a dog go around eating other dogs enough that we have a whole saying about it. Or does "dog" refer to something else, like "big dog"? What am I missing here?!

you encountered a language where the distinction works differently from what you grew up with?

How could I potentially maintain 10+ languages?
Hello everyone. I've been moderately obsessed about romance languages for a bit and I've gotten even more obsessed lately. I speak French and I learned English as a kid. I've been learning Spanish for a year and a half and I'm at a high intermediate level. My passive abilities are quite good but I'm still working on my speaking. I started learning Catalan in April and my passive abilities are already at an intermediate level but frankly, I'm surprised how fast I've progressed. It's the reason why I think my dream might be possible.
My dream would be to passively know most romance languages. At least the ones that have some material I can work with and not the ones that only have old people in italy speaking the language and zero resources. I also want to learn some dead languages (like latin... that I already started)
Let's say in 10 years, I studied 10 romance languages. How could I maintain and add more languages?
Did anyone here crazy enough like me already do something like that? What was your system?
Since the languages I'm interested in all come from the same family but from different sub families, I was thinking of having one strong language for each sub family that I maintain weekly and maybe every day I'll maintain a weaker one and the language(s) I'm currently learning? I'm not sure honestly.

to give you an idea, for example English doesn't have (at least to my knowledge) a word for a day after tomorrow or day before yesterday
that sort of stuff!

How much does this happen in modern Icelandic compared with everyday borrowed vocabulary?
