Les Mis is probably one of the 5 great literary works of all time, definitely in the top 3 ones) “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Wanderer 1,597 Posted October 17, 2019 #47 Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) Duolingo is interesting to start with any language basically. I started learning German that way, and then I went to language school. I am finishing B1 level now. My Russian is getting rusty when it comes to conversation, but still can use some good Russian books when needed When it comes to Slavic languages, spoken Polish and Czech are the most difficult for me to understand. When I started high school I got from my Chemistry teacher an old stoichiometry workbook from a Croatian author. It was easy to understand until I got to "dušik" and "kositar" which in Serbian are "azot" and "kalaj" N and Sn respectively. Luckily, chemical symbols are universal. I used to learn Greek, Hungarian and Finnish back in the high school days, but it's been 11 years since then. For instance, I only know to count up to five in Finnish, understand few words and know to say this sentence: Haluan puhua ja ymmärtää suomea Edited October 17, 2019 by Wanderer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get too frustrated with learning Hungarian that you didn't want to learn another Uralic language? I got frustrated with Finnish. Dude (! ), this language is a combination of everything hard that can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
