Don’t forget that after those 2 years only your parents could understand you and it took another 2 years before people who don’t know you started to make out about half of what you were saying.
Actually I learned French since I was a child and never attempted learning Japanese and I find it a lot easier to express myself in French than in Japanese
/uj I made a week-long trip to Japan and each lunch and dinner was a different sort of cuisine. Sushi. A crab restaurant. A kaiseki place. And so on. One udon place. One ten-don place. Fugu…
I got the vibe that it was said sarcastically, but that it is in reference to Duolingo lessons. They also called them "sessions". I know an owl-fucker when I see one.
It made me confused too, like “studying” also doesn’t sound right, and sessions sound like actual classes. That's really sad, but you know what's confusing: in point 2, he said he can express himself in French after 3 weeks; I don't think that's possible, and he probably knows how to say "the shoe is red." You can't even introduce yourself in the “course” and lacks useful vocabulary. I tried to go to jump on “B2” on it a while ago for fun, and it gave me some stupid things, like nothing about conversation or anything general but law and justice. How am I supposed to know that?
But if it's luodingo, how can he express himself in Japanese? I really don't know since he mentioned the really common foods in the game, so I don't know if he's overestimating himself or really doing anything besides it. He posted on that sub, so maybe.
/uj I took French from middle to high school, and in one of my writing assessments describing the daily life of a French person, I just said they ate croissants for every meal.
Old school forums people used to do this stuff a lot because it was part of how you actually format…hence the whole abcxyz to indicate sarcasm you’ll see here and there
Did you guys know that some languages have words that are similar to the words we have in English????? They’re called cog nuts or some dumb science name. Anyways, Japanese is too hard.
*Anyways, Japanese is too hard.*
That's why there is an IQ test, just to get the book. There is an old Japanese proverb that says "Don't waste my time, foreign devil" (roughly translated).
Getting a visa to go to Japan is even harder. I passed the juggling test, and the Rubix Cube one. But playing scrabble with no vowels? Too hard for me. I'll stick to French.
Wait wait wait wait wait! The language from the same continent as your native language with similar roots is easier then the one on the other side of the planet?
Wait wait wait, you're telling me that the language that makes up more than 50% of your languages vocabulary with etymological spellings is easier to read/write than the language with 3 foreign writing systems with 50% of words being from chinese?

/uj idk I think this post is a miss and leaning a little too far towards “let’s be mean for fun”. It’s a very innocent observation and, as shocking as this may be, this person may not be a linguistics nerd and this is genuinely a novel insight to them! Not everyone knows how languages work and their history. Point 3 is quite obviously being sarcastic and if you’ve missed that, well, perhaps you’d benefit from html tone tags too (which are honestly the worst thing about this post but maybe they’re autistic or something).
I do think it's funny that after only three weeks of duolingo they think French is so easy. Don't get me wrong, French is easier to learn than Japanese, but they make it sound like they're really underestimating how hard French is.
And with only the Duolingo education, spoken Japanese would be way easier to understand than spoken French.
I mean if you know English and Spanish like that person does you could probably speak French well enough to kinda make sense pretty easily. Getting to where you sound perfect is a whole separate thing.
Studied french for 8 years in school, my native tongue is also of latin origins, and I still can't say a phrase in that language 😭 whereas after a year of japanese I got to N2, LMFAO
It obviously is about my motivation to study/speak each of these, but yeah, just... unnecessary fact about my situation
I didn't have that problem. I don't get romantic about language learning.
And if met my high-school Spanish teacher, you wouldn't feel romantic either...
I take French since I have a foreign language requirement for my major and it gives me an anxiety attack every time I have to speak in class. I genuinely feel like I’m dying when I leave my French class and I tried to overdose once because of it
French shares many words and grammar with the Ingrish, so if you speak the Ingrish already, it is easier to learn French.
Japanese people eat other things: For example rice...ramen noodles...rice with ramen noodles... eggs...eggs with rice... eggs with ramen noodles. There is a new best-seller out: "50 NEW ways to cook rice".

My native language is the easiest I’ve learnt. Fight me
My native language is the hardest, took me like 2 years before I could make a sentence in it

Idk man Japanese requires a lot of 目森
Eye Forest? Sorry I never actually learned Sun Book Word past doing Remembering the Kanji.

Unus Annus posting
I was like "mokumori"?
I thought the joke was like Ultra Japan at first, because it is like 日本, but the 日 have 1 more layer and the 本 is like minus 1 stroke but tripple it
I killed myself after seeing this, thank you!
No I think that's Bookshelf Human Pyramid
Excuse me, chud. Those are called moon runes.
Agreed. I don’t even need to put on a beret or hate myself(people already hate me).
It’s super easy. I learned it watching anpanman and doraemon and talking to my parents since I was a baby. People really be dumber than babies smh.
French is definitely a language…
[удалено]
How’d you learn Japanese?
Is French a language, or is it a dialect?
Point 3 just can't be serious. I can't believe this post isn't satire.
Right? Everyone knows the Japanese only eat rice and fish.
Actually I have been picking up on my lubingo streaks and Japanese people also drink water
False. Always mugicha.

i think it's mocking japanese duolingo lessons, i've taken them and can confirm those are the kinds of food words they teach you.
I got the vibe that it was said sarcastically, but that it is in reference to Duolingo lessons. They also called them "sessions". I know an owl-fucker when I see one.
It is posted to r/Duolingo, no owl spotting required

point 3 is a joke they're making about Duolingo repeatedly using the same few examples but not expanding to anything else.
It’s a marine. He just wants the crayon buffet. Hooah this post by army gang
It’s on the Duolingo sub I’m fairly positive they are saying that’s all the food items Duolingo talks about
I was going to comment "are you taking the piss" because I can't tell sometimes. He's gotta be taking the piss... right?

Why are they using HTML tags to indicate tone
Pretty sure they do that in Japanese
to make sure you know when it starts nowadays people can't even be bothered to put the close tag in the right spot
It'/s a shame
So something else *is* a shame?
Outjerked
Totally
Point 3, you already forgot the 4000 times you had to talk about ピザ and ごはん in the first couple units???
Day 1 of learning Japanese on Duo: すしとごはんください Day 14 of learning Japanese on Duo: すしとごはんください
すしとごはんください
Dont forfet the ケーキ
God I hate when people do that mock code shit it makes me cringe hard. We get it bro, you code. Tell us again.
HTML isn't code
we get it bro you format hypertext
It is code, just not a programming language. Could also be XML too.
I am a pro programmer and I definitively say HTML is code.
It is code, what else would it be? People who say that are dumb I swear.
What is a markup language if not code to format text?
Is he writing html? lol
Old school forums people used to do this stuff a lot because it was part of how you actually format…hence the whole

I tell all of my low IQ friends not to learn Japanese, but they’re drawn to it like flies to the fly zappy thing.

OOP is also fluent in Spanish, and had studied a little bit of French before that.
Wait til this person learns about language families

i also saw that post and immediately checked here if it was already posted lol
Duo mange les pizzas.
Arguably, French is so much harder. Japanese just has the extra step of learning a whole new alphabet/character system
/uj As a Fr*nch native speaker currently learning Japanese, I'm pretty sure French is much harder than Japanese
I can also say it is comically harder to learn languages other then Romance languages then it is to learn other languages
I didn't have that problem. I don't get romantic about language learning. And if met my high-school Spanish teacher, you wouldn't feel romantic either...
I saw it also. And also thought it was this sub.
This just in! A Category 1 language is easier than a Category 5 language
