Doesn't sound like a bum thing. Sounds like indecisiveness.

Dunno, haven't FINNISHED it. :D

you're right. i've "started" learning like five different languages at various points over the course of the last two years or so. i always quit after a month or two because i get bored with it or whatever. i've been kinda out of it (mentally) for a few years though and recently started some new meds so maybe that will help with my concentration.

Reposting: According to lawlessfrench.com/grammar/present-participle/ The French present participle can be used as a gerund, noun, or adjective Is this true? How does the usage of "en" relate to this?
La voiture est rouge. Je suis vieux. Mon chat dort. Elle a acheté un vélo.
Je prends des leçons de la natation chaque semaine. La couple se sont mariés sur la plage. Si on pratique les maths tous les jours, on s'améliore. Sa maison a toujours froid parce qu'il ne veut pas payer pour le rechauffement.
Le film documentaire m'a vraiment ému quand j'ai vu la peine et la lutte des vétérans racontants leurs amis qui ont marché sur des mines terrestres et se sont fait explosés. Il est (c'est?) inutile de marchander avec lui; il est fidèle à vendre le vélo pour le prix qu'il a d'abord payé. Le métro n'a pas été rénové depuis les années 80, donc il fait un grand bruit d'hurlement quand il s'arrète.
lol I think I'm intermediate level in French but still wonder whether I should use an indefinite article, definite article, or no article sometimes

Duolingo is good, go for it. I like the streak, so I can track how many days I have been studying.

¿Te gustan los autores Argentinos? Ahora leo algo de las obras de Borges de la colección "Borges Esencial". Pero este libro es sus obras en total, pues hay muchas y no sé si quiero acabarlo antes de comenzar a leer otra cosa o sólo acabar la parte que que leo ahora, la que se llama El Alef.

Just power through one till you know all the basic grammar and around 2k words, and then just sit back and read a comic book or a web page every once and a while to keep it going.
Caleb Sanders
the same thing in English articles are just redundant and illogical, if you need to specify, you can use "some", "this" etc.
Ian Collins
>articles are just redundant and illogical
Gavin Ortiz
Articles are really good, actually; Honestly, I would rather my TLs have more articles but with clearer rules; the main problem with articles is reusing them for different kinds of specification and it being particularly hard to find clear information about the difference in usage between languages.

>пaдap/padar - father >мaдap/madar - mother >бpaдap/bradar - brother >дyхтap/duxtar - daughter Don't you think this is too English-esque?
Christopher Roberts
probably bad
Thomas Myers
Not at all. It's based on Persian, specifically Middle Persian/Pahlavi and Avestan. These words are common in most Indo European languages.
Jordan White
Sic, articuli sunt redundantes et illogici.

Pretty basic, but falls under the same case of all other Duolingo courses.

Farsi cause your dad speaks it, otherwise go with the one you like the most
Jeremiah Adams
One of either Russian or Czech, Farsi, German, and French. Choose as many as you can comfortably set aside time for in that order. Russian and Czech are probably the only ones you should avoid learning at the same for since their both Slavic.
Jacob Myers
Russian is basically the lingua franca of Eastern Europe, so if you're interested in slavic culture, that would be your best bet of them all Farsi would cover most of Iran/Persia, but there's a lot of dialectal variance, since it's not in the same family as Arabic
Robert Russell
I'm thinking that's a good idea too, also because Iran is geopolitically significant and it'd probably net me a job if this whole civil engineering thing doesn't work out post graduation. Should I learn Iranian or Afghan Farsi? how much crossover is there?
I kind of want to explore Siberia in my 20s though and interact with all the tribes
Dylan Stewart
Russia is losing influence outside of Russia, your statement would have been accurate 30 years ago but now it's just off the mark and in 20 years it'll be flat out wrong
