Só um pouco. Unfortunately, I've lapsed out of practice so a lot of it is probably gone. I almost took a job with an NGO in Brazil, so it … morewas mostly just in preparation for that.
It's a cool language though. I like the nasal vowels and how the consonants change sounds in different places.
Ich muss etwas auf die Deutschsprachige hier fragen. Habt ihr tippen für Deutsch zu lernen?
I must ask something of those here of whom can speak German. Have you any tips for learning German? (Also, was that sentance correct?)
You could probably learn to write Spanish pretty easily. It's very simple and phonetic.
All those languages are pretty cool! Swedish is definitely easiest, but Russian is probably the most useful. German is a great language, but most Germans I've talked to speak English very, very well.
I've never heard before that Russian is much useful. Why do you think so?
It is definitely very challenging and interesting hobby (to study Russian, that is), but where can you use it? Here in Russia, for example, you can't do any science unless you know English.

Probably. For example, Belarussian and Ukrainian are highly mutually intelligible, to a point where you can read or speak it without actually knowing the language itself. Slavic languages are all mutually intelligible to a degree, even though some words are written differently and/or have a different meaning.
I know a rather funny example. In Polish, there's a word "zapomnieć" (means "to forget"), while in Russian the word "запомнить" (pretty much the exact same word graphically and phonetically) means the exact opposite - "to remember".

Well in America, it's considered a "critical strategic language" by the State Department, probably due to the... complex nature of US/Russian relations. It's also a common language throughout the former soviet states And opens up a lot of possibilities in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Russian corporations are also a big deal and (until recently) the U.S. did a lot of business with them, making a Russian speaker pretty valuable in the private sector.

And good day/night/evening/whatever to you, mein alter Freund.
"Tippen" is supposed to be a noun here, right? Otherwise it's German for "… moreto type". Also, I think the plural form for that word is incorrect here. The correct one, according to a vocabulary is "Tipps".
Also, the word "sentence" wasn't correct, lol.
As for any actual tips, I don't really have any. I've realized a while ago that my German is rather shitty and lackluster. Though, I'll try to give at least a couple of tips.
First, whenever you learn a word, try to associate that word with a more general one (i. e. to remember "spazieren" you can associate it with "gehen). Second, say the word you've learned out loud, repeat a couple of times both to remember the word and to remember how it's pronounced.
And that's all I can give, really. You'd do a better job looking it up on Youtube. If you're already learning this way, well, at least I tried, lol.
You are right; Tippen is supposed to be in the noun form here. That was a mistake on my part.
I am already doing what you have outlined, … morebut thanks for trying to help.
I am just curious, why do you say that German is "rather shitty and lackluster"?
Indonesian is cool! When you want to emphasize a word, you just double it, like so.
Example :
Saya suka jalan = I like to walk
Saya suka jalan-jalan = I like to walk around.
If you want to learn ridiculously easy language, spoken by lots of people, in a rising economic powerhouse, Bahasa Indonesia might warrant a try. Pronounciation and grammar are trivial challenges. The only difficult part for me is learning all the prefixes/suffixes, because Bahasa is agglutinative like Japanese and Turkish.

I am from Germany and I am learning some norwegian, swedish and danish at the moment. I know that these languages are almost the same...at least it looks like it for me.
Anyway, I am excited about learning new languages, even if its just the basics. And if anyone has any questions about the german language feel free to ask me.
@RammsteinFürImmer will probably have some. I tagged him so he can find this easier.
It's cool that you're learning all those Germanic languages! I've heard that it's easiest to pick up Swedish and Danish if you start with Norwegian first, since Bokmål is basically just like Danish.

Well, I started with the norwegian language, because I have some friends who are norwegian. I learned some french in school...but I couldnt arrange myself with that language. So I turned to the finish language first before I got into norwegian.

No thats not true. Almost every sentence you wrote in this discussion so far was 100% correct, and thats no small deal, good job. German can be really hard to learn, especially things like "ein/eine/einer/eines" or "der/die/das". Many people here are living here longer than Iam and still make these kinds of mistakes. Its almost impossible to learn and remember all of them, especially when english words are more and more used in german. For example: the download = der Download. Or: the smartphone = das Smartphone. But so far Iam impressed, I dont think you would have any trouble in Germany. Well maybe not in Baveria, even I have problems to understand them. I have a friend there and he played some audio file with people talking I was really confused, I thought it was a different language XD.
@RammsteinFürImmer: I think your english isnt so bad, I think people in Germany would understand you. Iam not sure if I can give you any advice on how to learn it, since german is my native language. But if you have a specific question sometime you can ask me .
Btw the correct version of your sentence is: Ich muss all die Deutschsprachigen unter euch fragen: Habt ihr Tipps wie ich Deutsch lernen kann?
Altough if you say it that way it sounds a bit strange. Of course you can translate word by word, put it in the correct order and add some adjustments, but sometimes these sentences sound strange. This is the better version:
Ich habe eine Frage an diejenigen unter euch die Deutsch sprechen können. Könnt ihr mir Ratschläge geben wie ich diese Sprache am besten lernen kann?
I learned some french in school...but I couldnt arrange myself with that language.
I had had a similar problem wilts French. I was learning it alright, but hit a metaphorical brick wall once I passed A1 proficiency and moved on to A2. Of course, I already knew a lot of Arabic at that point, so the French language's pronunciation quirks felt sooo easy by comparison. Still, the grammar is what got me in the end.
Well, I started with the norwegian language, because I have some friends who are norwegian. I learned some french in school...but I couldnt arrange myself with that language. So I turned to the finish language first before I got into norwegian.
Why, thank you, kind sir. I just think my German is not that good because I don't practice it as much as I should and because my personal vocabulary is rather poor (I don't memorize the words properly, not because I can't, but because I'm rather lazy. Should do something about it).
I'm still a long way away from being able to use it properly, but thank you, anyway.

I am from Poland so my mother language is, well, Polish. It goes something like this; W grach komputerowych priorytetem dla mnie jest fabuła. Sound hard? It is, but I mastered it. I learn English for like...7 or 8 years? Yeah, something like that, I started early, and well, it gave me a lot of benefits. I can make friendships with more people, can understand games and films etc. when there's no Polish version and other things.
I started learning Russian last year. I can't really speak or write for myself, but 6 years left and my knowledge about this language will be expanded I really want to learn Russian ASAP, I love this language. I don't really want to learn any other languages.

Has anyone here tried Hellotalk (or any other similar app) to learn a new language? It's a free android/ios app where you can chat with people all over the world to learn whatever language you'd like. It's great overall, but I've talked only with few people so far. If you speak a very requested language (e.g. English or French) then you'll probably get a lot of messages.

You should try to practice it a bit once you have time. There are a lot of brazilians all over the world, so it might come in handy someday. :P
My two main languages irl are English and Spanish. Can't write in Spanish though sucks. I'd like to learn German, Swedish or Russian.
When learning new verbs and their meaning try to memorize it like this : sehen - sieht - hat gesehen - sah so you know their other forms.
You could probably learn to write Spanish pretty easily. It's very simple and phonetic.

Where are the French speakers?
I think there's a few here.
Interesting. Is it because it's Slavic?
Kinda reminds me of how English speakers can usually understand some Dutch, Frisian and Afrikaans.
Loceteur, c'est quoi (ou qui) ?
Ce que j'aime quand j'ecris en francais c'est ce petit espace vide devant '!' et '?'. C'est sympa !

Huh, that's quite odd. Must come from the same root, long ago.
That seems to be most likely. All Slavic languages derive from the same Proto-Slavic language, after all.
Well in America, it's considered a "critical strategic language" by the State Department, probably due to the... complex nature of US/Russian relations. It's also a common language throughout the former soviet states And opens up a lot of possibilities in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

I can almost read that, actually. Though I can't understand much. Something about TWD and a computer? That's all google translate has for me.

Sounds cool, I'll check it out!
I use memrise, but the browser version, more so than the app. The browser version has more demanding writing exercises, which helps my memorization.
