ive been interested in learning japanese and have studied it some small amount, but i have the same problem. it takes literally a decade+ of constant studying to gain reading fluency with all the kanji. it seems like such a ridiculous system.
Uh, if you want to read obscure pre-19th century medical journals or horticulture or something it might take a decade. Otherwise about 2 years using modern methods.
Oh ok. I was gathering my information from native japanese students still learning kanji throughout the entirety of their education which obviously spans a decade+
im supposed to learn spanish but at this point if i could learn a language it would be Chinese
I'd love to learn some Mandarin. Also to actually remember my 6 years of French from school :')
If there's any interest in Russian I'd be happy to help out - it's my mother tongue
I currently learn French for my personal interests (Literature, social contacts etc.), additionally I would like to learn Russian, Turkish, as well as Kurdish. The last three ones would be my effort to reach more people in their native language and to politicize them, because these demographics have a lot of potential (Germany).
Would love to learn Mandarin, Arabic, French and then get back in touch with my Spanish...that shit hasn't seen the light of day in a minute
I probably won't learn mandarin, but I definitely remember getting told as a kid that it was gonna be the most important language in the future because china was becoming the world superpower. I guess they were right, it's just happening way faster
I'd like to learn Japanese, Korean and Mandarin. I'm learning Japanese kanji via WaniKani, but I haven't done my revision in nearly a year now, so I keep relapsing in my knowledge and having to relearn for a month before I get back in stride; this happens every time. Grammar is my other bugbear and the only way to properly learn it, I feel, is with formal lessons, but there's no way I can afford that shit lmao. So at the moment I can only use free flashcards via Anki decks. Suffice to say it's not as instinctive as it feels more akin to rote learning.
I haven't started Korean and Mandarin except for the odd dabble in Duolingo. I figure it's best to focus on one at a time.
I would like to learn german the biggest hurdle is being an american stuck on what's essentially a big ass island with only english speakers. To learn a language you have to speak it, read it and hear it everyday.
Would love to learn Vietnamese as I eventually want to move to Vietnam. Also want to learn Japanese.
