How can I learn a language without the learning?

I've been trying to learn Creole and Uzbek at the same time but I'm having difficulties with trying to understand them since I don't study.

Does anyone know of a surgery or something to implant the languages in my brain?

Thanks,

AI is better than me at not learning languages

I still have a computer from the 90s, and it hasn't learned any new languages in the meantime. It far outperforms me at not learning languages.

I guess there's no point in trying to not learn languages, since an old computer is better. So I should give up, and learn a language.

Why did I have to be native in the one Germanic language that lost GH

Seriously, the sound made by GH used to be very common and now it's just gone in English. It's still everywhere in spelling but it's gone. I'm going to cry. Old English is better

I have wasted 500 hours of my life trying to learn Latin ๐Ÿ˜‘

The title is self-explanatory. Not only that, but I also spent $1000 dollars buying a lot of books about it. My dream has always been to marry a hot Latina. Only now I know they speak Spanish and Portuguese, instead (but why the name, then?๐Ÿ™ƒ). I should've known something was wrong, because the books explain some nerdy stuff, such as Roman Empire (Latinas dont speak Latin, but Romans do??????? Why don't they speak Roman?).

Guys what's an alternative method to learn a language without using Duolingo?

Hi, as we all know Duolingo is currently aiding the DaBoyz/fife army in Floptropica. The DaBoyzians are slathering the poor people of Floptropica. As a proud flop I'm boycotting the green owl's language learning app and I'm kindly asking about an alternative application or similar service to learn my desire language?

Help, how to learn Austro-Hungarian creole quickly?

Next year, on March 1914, I'm visiting the Austro-Hungarian Empire; I decided to travel Vienna, Budapest, Ardealul and Slavonia.

But I have a problem: I don't know how to speak the austro-Hungarian creole and I've seen that they are one of the few countries that don't speak Uzbek.

What can I do to learn this language quickly before it's time late? I have 0 experience with it.

Is it worthy to learn Arabic Belarusian?

I've been thinking for a while about learning Belarusian Arabitsa, the version of Belarusian in Arabic script.

Is it worth learning? Which jobs could I approach easily by having learned this language?

Where can I learn Urzikstani?

I canโ€™t seem to find any resources. I mean, is it a Persian language or a Turkish language? The culture really appeals to me and Iโ€™m hoping to learn enough to travel there and shock the natives.

What language should I learn next?

I already speak Americanish, English, Scottish, Australianish, New Zealandish and a little bit of Irelandish, but I want to pick up a new one. I am thinking Modern Standard English (New Yorkese) or Proto Modern English (dutch)

I would be learning for pleasure and not anything professional or academic. That is why I am interested in dead languages such as Proto Modern English.

๐Ÿ”ฅ ULTIMATE 5-DAY SPEEDRUN GUIDE TO JAPANESE (REAL)

Hey fellow learners! ๐Ÿ˜ค After years of research, I've finally cracked the code to learning Japanese. Forget about those 10-year study plans - check out this perfect study program!

Day 1 - Learn kana and write each character 8 million times (you know, one for each Japanese god, lol). Your hand will hurt but no pain no gain! ๐Ÿ’ช

Days 2-3 - Learn all kanji at once... yeah, it's tough, so take two days: first half of the kanji dictionary on day one, second half on day two. Just memorize them bro, it's not that hard. ๐Ÿง 

Day 4 - Grammar time! Just read all three books of "A Dictionary of Japanese Grammar" โ€”one during breakfast, one during lunch, and one during dinner. Skip snacks, you're not here to eat. ๐Ÿ“š

By day 5, any average person should be reading Monogatari series in Japanese, getting 99.9% of the wordplay. If you're really slow, you should at least handle anime and manga. Trust me, it'll work if you just stop being lazy and actually try! Method's legit, I've tested it myselfโ€”or as we say in Japanese, "watashi" tested it. ๐Ÿ˜‰โœจ

Can I write a Chinese character for my story without actually learning their symbol thingys?

I want to write an adventure novel, titled Go Johnny, about an all American boy named Johnny. I want to give him a small chinese girl, very china looking, named Natalee. But I don't want to write things out in their picture thingies for her dialogue. So I've decided to write things out in English. Here's what I mean:

Johnny: "Jee wiz, those soviets sure can teach ya a thing or do..."

Natalee: "Sรญ. Espero que no los vea otra vez(she says in Chinese)"

Johnny: "Wow, chinese sure sounds beautiful. You should teach me it some time. Now let's grab ourselves a slice of Apple Pie."

Natalee: "no mames gรผey(she says in Chinese)!"

Does this work from a narrative sense? Pls don't reply to me in Chinese. I can't read chinese. I am too busy studying Japanese so that I can move to Japan.

Why am I not as good at language than I thought?

Here's my story: I am studying this language. I started to understand a few things in the language, so I figured I was done studying and good to go. But, here's the twist, I tried watching some TV and discovered that actually I can't understand anything that is being said on TV shows! It's not like my native language, or my target language, but a third, more different language that I haven't studied.

Any idea why I can't understand TV language at all when I can read children's books just fine and order pretty much whatever I want at restaurants? I'm about to give up because the idea of having to start all over again from Duolingo level 1 makes me want to pour hot sauce into my eyes.

Question about anki decks

Do I actually have to remember what's on the back? That's kinda hard so I just look at them right now. My deck has thousands of cards so it takes awhile to look at them all every day. Should I keep doing this or am I misunderstanding somehow?
