Morning walk in the snow ❄️

Happy New Year to everyone! 🎉
May this year be filled with languages!
#LangSky

The busier I am, the more I want to learn new languages. It's almost as if learning languages helps me relax

Csak így tovább!

Yeah out of the two, Tandem is, in my experience, also the most "dating-ish". However, I always end up finding people, it just takes a lot longer.

I've been practising my German a lot lately. I am also pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to chat with German speakers on Tandem/Hellotalk. If only my experience with Hungarian had been that smooth!

Belgium’s forbidden language 'at the point of no return' "Walloon can only be saved by Walloons themselves."

Nur en België 😂😂 #langsky

"Goeiedag, bonjour"

A new Belgian classic is born.

I have tested AI before and it's great for grammar explanations and vocabulary but I miss the warmth of a real conversation or mistakes that natives make haha!

I'm willing to give it another go, last time I met some nice people. Or am I being too delusional haha?

I decided to reinstall Tandem to find new language partners. What do they mean when they say I can pick only one language to learn? That's not fair! #langsky

I use 4 almost daily: French, English, Dutch and Hungarian. I have Finnish & German installed as well.

As often as possible! I remember words better if I look them up in a paper dictionary. Moreover, I always end up taking a look at other entries and I feel like it's nice way to expose yourself to other words.

They often believe it's a talent that I have, completely ignoring the thousands of hours spent learning 😅. Other than that, I'd say they're pretty indifferent, they see it as any other hobby. A hobby that comes handy in some situations/abroad.

To be fair, the way languages are taught in Belgian schools is ridiculous. I bet that those who speak good English have learnt it outside of schools. Anyway, they will have to learn Dutch/French at some point because many jobs do require FR-NL fluency.

1. A language exchange partner / friend
2. A live tutor
3. Spontaneous learning
4. A good and thick grammar book.
5. A friend who's fluent in different languages.

Wat een mooie verzameling boeken!

Fair enough! I kinda plan the same but my progress with Finnish is a lot slower than I had hoped. Estonian is definitely on my list, it's just a matter of time ☺️

The infernal trio haha! Perhaps there's some room left for Estonian 👀?

Basque is an intriguing language, for sure!

Great choice of languages!

I have more fun studying languages when I combine them. Today I'm studying German using a Hungarian textbook! #langsky

The French language be like this sometimes 🤷‍♂️. Another confusing word is "personne"! It means a person but it also means nobody.

I like the idea of rotating between languages!

This morning I had another excellent italki lesson with my Hungarian teacher ☺️

👋 I can help with French (native speaker), Hungarian & Dutch (upper intermediate). I would like some help with Finnish and German.

I should have done it earlier ;)

What a huge list! Thanks!!
