Romanian sounds so cool! It’s like the most Slavic sounding Romance language if that makes sense.
I thought it was a Slavic language before I began learning Russian.
I agree ^_^. Romanian has the perfect mix of the beauty of Romance languages, and the rough elegance of Slavic languages :).
If anyone is curious what Romanian even sounds like, here are two songs I am loving at the moment:
I like this one although part of it is in English: shantel - disco disco partizani - YouTube
a lot of people around me are from Moldova and they all speak great Russian but I totally should get on to Romanian at some point.
I know a lot of places to find really great books in Romanian (pdf), so if you need any, just pm me!
I love the fact that Latin exists on LingQ. My plan for 2017 is to come back to either Chinese, Arabic OR Latin (which are all languages I have acquainted myself with at a basic level). I already have a quite good understanding of French and know a little Spanish and Italian. In the long run I am interested in both Portuguese and Romanian but feel now that it would be nice to step back in the language history and really learn Latin, which will pay off in quite a lot of other languages over time as well as it will be rewarding because of my great interest in philosophy, history and literature and professional relation with the field of botany and law (I am a landscape architect).
I would be happy to participate in a project that collects material for LingQ in order to make it a supported language.
Romanian sounds like a great choice for someone like m who wants to learn a romance language.
Do either have a transcipt, or is it just the podcast. At the very least, even if I understand all, I like to dump the words into my imports so I can count the known words toward my totals. Thanks.
That sounds like an ambitious and cool plan. However, if I may ask, why are you not continuing with either Swedish or Russian (especially Russian) where your word counts are so high and you could build to major levels in those. Maybe you already have outside of LingQ (eg. Steve’s “lower” totals in languages he learned pre-LingQ.)
I am a native speaker of Swedish and only took Swedish for an occasional ride with LingQ. The only languages I didn’t study pre-lingq was Spanish and Polish. I will never stop to read interesting content in the Great Russian Language, same goes for English, French and German.
So to be more explicit: I will take up (again) Chinese, Arabic or Latin this year AND continue to read in languages that I know well, especially Russian.
