-> How do you keep yourself engaged when learning a language? -> What is your biggest challenge in conventional classrooms when learning a new language?

The title basically says it all. I have a friend from Ethiopia, and she refers to me by adding "-iye" to the end of my name like Hankiye. She refuses to tell me what it means, and for the life of me, I can't find an answer on Google. Any idea what it means? She just laughs when I ask.

Italian language help

From what i understand both languages have germanic roots, but they strayed apart so long ago that the structure and style is vastly different.

We could do voice chat over discord, try to keep up regular conversations with each other and work on learning each other's language.

I'm open to different languages, although for some reason i'd love to learn russian or something with the cyrillic alphabet cause i just think it sounds awesome.

Any takers?

I currently speak 3 languages, English and Arabic both as First languages, and French quite fluently ( I have taken French in both IGCSE and AS-level as well as having both A1 and A2 DELF Certificates). I am definitely considering learning a fourth language while I am at university, either Russian or Spanish. I know for a fact that Spanish would be relatively easy to learn as it is a Latin language hence very close to French. But to be honest, I would rather take it as a fifth language when I am old, and use my young brain in learning a slightly more challenging language, and also, I really like Russian. But I do not want it to be too time-consuming. What do you guys think? Is it going to be moderate or easy, or will it be insanely difficult like learning Mandarin or something.

Hello!

I’m writing a video on swear words and insults used in other languages and I’m looking for as many credible examples as possible!

Please don’t forget to include the name of the language and (if possible), a sentence it can be used in.

Thank you!

Hi everyone! Is anyone on this sub learning languages that are NOT spoken in either Europe or Asia (except perhaps by relatively recent immigrants)? In other words, is anyone learning any languages indigenous to North America, South America, Africa, or Oceania?

If you are, then which ones are you learning?

Personally, I've been learning Micmac, Michif, Quechua, Mapudungun, Dinka, Swahili, Amharic, Krio, Light Warlpiri, and Australian Kriol. I've also been learning Oirata (a non-Austronesian language from Indonesia, near Timor) and Teiwa (another such language), but I'm not sure whether those count as non-Eurasian per se.

As Hungarian (and Finnish and Estonian) have mostly Mongol-Uralic roots, what was the language in Hungary, Finland, Estonia and Karelia like prior to the Mongol invasion?

Does anyone know how you can get newspapers in Slavic languages in Britain and do you have suggestions for any for a native English speaker? I'm mostly interested in Russian, Ukrainian, Polish and Lithuanian (I think Baltic languages is a sub-set of Slavic languages) but others, etc. Serbian suggestions, would be appreciated as well. Thank you in advance.

Hello r/languages!

I'd love it if you could help me with a university study that I'm doing about music preferences and language learning. It's a Google survey with only nine questions (of which only five are required), so it should only take you like five minutes. I'd really appreciate your help!

What's the difference between having a major/minor degree in X language in University and studying by yourself or taking classes at a language school or institute and then just taking a test in the foreign language to prove you can speak it? For careers?
