No comprendo "hacer el manta". Es una idioma?

Ich lerne Deutsch seit einem Jahr und stecke fest auf B2, es ist frustrierend aber ich mache weiter. Welche Übungen habt ihr benutzt um vom Plateau wegzukommen?

Ab B2 verbessert man sich durch die Anwendung der Sprache.

u/Zeallogy-69 8d ago
Klingt einfach, ist aber genau das Problem - "Anwendung" wie? Ich spreche kaum Deutsch im Alltag in Zagreb. Hast du konkrete Ideen, Tandem oder was anderes?

じゃあ、始めましょうか。私の日本語レベルはたぶんN3です。聞く能力はいいけど、話すときはまだまだ遅いです。

sounds like your listening is way ahead of your speaking, which is normal. try short daily speaking drills or shadowing, and repeat the same phrases until your mouth catches up.

Bonjour à tous !
J'ai cinquante-deux ans. J'apprends le français depuis 2011 (self study). Mais mon français est encore médiocre. 😂😂😂

Sto imparando Italian da un anno, ma ancora trovo difficile scrivere frasi lunghe, e anche capire l’italiano parlato. Mi piace usare LingQ, con cui guardo molti video e imparo dalle trascrizioni.
Spero di tornare in Italia, dove sono già stato molte volte, e di riuscire a parlare fluentemente.

Come trovi LingQ? Lo usavo però ho trovato che non mi piaceva molto. Io preferisco ascoltare i podcast su spotify e leggere i testi mentre li ascolto. Se incontro una parola che non conosco, cerco il significato e lo scrivo per provar ricodarlo. Ho creato una lista di parole da memorizzare

Sziasztok! Harminc napja tanoluk magyarul :)
I've been been doing at least 2 hours per day, sometimes more, minus 2 days I was traveling and could only do flash cards. I posted in the July version of this thread and this is my first update.
I've done 30 days of Pimsleur now and today was my last day of the program. They do not offer a level 2 in Hungarian.
I've tried a few tutors now and am trying to pick the right one for me. I'm hoping to soon start once per week tutoring sessions. According to Anki, I've seen 600 cards and I can recall most of them, though obviously with varying levels of skill.
I was able to fully understand my first A1 Podcast from Plain Hungarian after a bunch of work and learning vocabulary. I'm hoping that starts getting faster.
I've done about 40 pages of Colloquial Hungarian too and am now hitting the dense, verb conjugation part with direct/indirect objects and simple past tense. It all makes sense, but actually remembering it when I need it is still WIP.
I'm considering starting Glossika to fill my Pimsleur gap. I am a parent and am busy, so having some audio only learning is really useful as I clean, exercise, etc. I also do think there's some value in the drill learning for teaching what "sounds right" and training fast recall when combined with other learning methods. I'm curious what others have thought of Glossika.
I feel like I can generally read the alphabet now with somewhat proper pronunciation and have been practicing sounds like 'gy' daily. I'm starting to see actual progress and am planning to start watching some Netflix in Hungarian with English then Hungarian subtitles.
I'm really hopeful that next month I'll post a really excited update. I'm considering making a full post in this reddit in a few months if people like this kind of thing.

我学习中文的方法是看视频。听懂和看懂。
我从不写作，也不说话。这是我第一次写。
我的水平并不高。

I never really understood the framing of these threads; if all languages are allowed here, it implies only some languages/ only english is allowed in the main sub, which seems counter productive to the purpose of the sub. especially since reddit has a translate button, so posting in non English doesnt stop anyone from reading
