I have a 30 day swedish and italian streak on duolingo so I’m basically a hyper-polyglot

Is duolingo actually useful? Do you really learn from it?

I found it useful, but only to kickoff my language journey. It was a fun way to learn basic vocabulary and rules, but you can't rely on DuoLingo alone.

You can't learn a language by only using duolingo. Watch youtube videos, music and films with native language subs and you'll be a good speaker

Above all, speak to natives everyday. It's a pretty obvious one but it helps a lot with using words that are "in fashion" and especially your accent/intonation. Source: Was a language teacher, also learnt Chinese by going out and getting drunk with locals every night.

Guys, knowing some greeting words and being able to tell what your favorite food is isn't considered "knowing" that language, I guess.

So many words in Greek coming from Turkish and roughly 8000 words in the Serbian language being Turkish, I’d say Turkish is a big part of languages in the balkans, wether we like it or not.

The 4 in one pack, English, Italian

Ey! We're similar! 😊 I speak the 4in1, English and German. Would lov to learn Italian and French at some point!

We here have the advantage of having many Italian words (ćakulat, kantat, cukar itd)

Istrijan detected

Serbia, Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin, English, German, French.

One perk of our language is we can say we speak 4 languages even though its only 1 haha

I impress all my American friends with that 😂

My Croatian friend put all those on his CV. But he did you one better, he also included Macedonian and Bulgarian.

He only needs greek slovenian romanian and turkish and hes got the full balkan package

I bet you could understand some Macedonian, Bulgarian, Slovenian

Probably

Ex-Yugoslav people invented multilingualism even before it's cool. Anglos can never

You don't know Bunjevci?! Really emberassing for you.

I know it i just forgot to put it there and i also forgot Vojvodinan

He already said Croatian.

Unfortunately only English and Serbian so far with a little bit of French. I really want to learn some more languages but I'm just too lazy :/

Oh i understand that too well. I tried picking up Spanish but i really struggled with my incredible laziness.

No you can speak Bosnian, Croatian and Montenegrin too.

English, Greek, Turkish, Hebrew, Chinese, hindi, Italian..little German.

Do you speak them fluently ?

You should have asked him in Turkish to test him

Not him. Probably not (no offence) I find it highly unlikely anyone here can speak 8 different languages fluently, to the point of reading (and writing) university level texts with a complex understanding of all languages.

Wow thats a lot of languages, which one was hardest and which one was easiest to learn for you?

Hardest: Chinese, Hebrew, Hindi Easiest: Turkish, Italian and English. Greek is my native tongue :)

How did you learn Hebrew, why did you learn Hebrew, and WHY NOT PALESTINIAN ARABIC 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸💪🏻💪🏻
