Hi, Luca! Why don't you learn Arabic??? Learning Arabic is learning 32 languages (dialects spoken by 10 000 000 - 100 000 000 people each) It is a real challenge. If you can't learn Arabic you are not a polyglot 🤣🤣🤣 Do you accept the challenge?

I wish you success in your journey of learning these languages. As a Turk, I want to say something to you and your followers about Turkish. Turkish is such a language that no matter how many mistakes you make while speaking or writing, everyone who speaks Turkish will understand you. Even if you say a word wrong, conjugate it incorrectly, or even use words with completely different meanings when making a sentence, someone who speaks Turkish will definitely understand what you mean. This will show you that Turkish is a difficult language to learn but easy to use. No matter how little or incorrectly you know Turkish, do not hesitate to communicate with people who speak Turkish. Believe me, this will greatly accelerate and facilitate your language development.

Tip for you: Go to Vojvodina. It’s the area in northern Serbia bordering Hungary and the Hungarian minority lives there. You can practice both. Subotica is a beautiful city, highly recommended. FYI I saw many many bilingual signs there in Serbian and Hungarian.

As a native Hungarian speaker I say to you that you can learn Turkish (or other Central Asian or native Siberian languages) easily if you speak Hungarian well. I say this as my experience, I had a Turkish flatmate for 2 months and I was curious about her language and it was very easy for me, like the Spanish language for Italians or the Russian for the Polish. The grammar is very similar, there are only few exceptions (ex. in Hungarian there aren't that big number of Verb Tenses than in Turkish and in Turkish there aren't that big number of verbal prefixes that can change the meaning of the verbs than in Hungarian, etc.) But the main features are the same, ex. the agglutinative structure, vowel harmony, a lot of mutual words and grammatical structures(ex. he/she/,it= "o" in Turkish, "ő" (in Hungarian), in= "-da/de" in Turkish, "-ban/ben" in Hungarian, etc.) So, if you speak Hungarian you will learn Turkish or other Turkic/Uralic languages much easier. And I have a message to you in Hungarian😁😀: Haver, le a kalappal előtted! Nagyon jól megtanultál magyarul ahhoz képest, hogy a többi nyelv amit beszélsz mennyire különbözik a magyartól. Persze az akcentusodon rendesen hallatszik, hogy nem az anyanyelved, de ez már az a szint, amikor simán lenyűgözöd bármelyik anyanyelvi beszélőt. A legtöbb magyarnak le fog esni az álla, amikor meghall téged beszélni, hogy egyáltalán ennyire meg tudtál tanulni anélkül, hogy nem magyar vidéken laktál. Szóval ez hatalmas teljesítmény! De mondok egy pár vígasztaló szót is: sok magyar, aki nem beszél vagy nem olvas eleget, vagy csak simán nem elég művelt, még azok sem tudnak rendesen beszélni magyarul. Tudtommal ez a világ egyik leggazadagg ragozási rendszerével bíró nyelve (van aki a baszk komplexitásához hasonlítja), a szavakhoz kapcsolódó lehetséges ragok száma nagyon nagy és ehhez nehéz hozzászokni, plusz sok az összetett szó is. Úgy hogy sok, kevésbé olvasott magyarnak is kihívást jelenthet néha ezek használata. Amit eddig elértél, az már nagyon jó!

Of course, the similarity is not that strong like between Turkish, Kazakh, Azerbaijani, etc. but there is still a big similarity. There are a lot of Turkic loanwords which maybe doesn't mean too much but there is a big similarity between the grammar of the languages. A lot of grammar features are the same.

Yep, Hungarian is like that, you need to take much more input before you try to output because it's so different than all other languages, logic you use for most other languages you can't use with Hungarian because it's so unique, I hated it at first but when I started understanding the logic behind it I started to love it, I got to A2 lvl but I'm still battling the grammar and the fact you can say one thing in many different ways, it will take me a while before I can say I speak it fluently but I'm not giving up. But I got to edit I got to A2 after couple of months, after 9 years I think I would be fluent.

@dzevadbayraktar322 I know, but there's more resources for Serbian. I had a customer say they're close enough to each other.

[@5ucur]

​@@michellebates528​ Well, they're only about half right. While Bosniaks speak Bosnian, Bosnian Serbs speak Serbian (interestingly, the standard form of which was based on the speech of Herzegovina, not Serbia), Bosnian Croats speak Croatian, and of course some minorities speak their own languages (Albanians, Romani, etc). This is by our constitution and all three languages and peoples are official. Why didn't I say about one third right? Because Bosniaks make about 50% of the population, give or take a few percent. But from a linguistics perspective, these three, plus Montenegrin, are all one language. So aside from some regional variations, you're fine learning any one of them for the whole region! 😉

[@arthurmorgan8638]

As an Estonian my deepest condolences for the pain that Uralic languages (in your case Hungarian) cause 💀

[@igorjee]

Nah, Hungarian is easy. No genders, only two tenses (past, present). Highly regular grammar and orthography. Cases are just postpositions (house+to). The only challenge is getting used to the grammar logic and the lack of familiar words.

[@arthurmorgan8638]

@igorjee Hungarian like Estonian and Finnish aren't easy. It's arguably harder to master our languages than Mandarin

[@igorjee]

​@arthurmorgan8638 You may be right. I learnt Hungarian as a 10 year old. I am familiar with many languages and can't really point out anything that would be particularly hard beyond the vocab and getting used to the postpositions, agglutination. German, Polish, Slavic langugaes in general have real cases, and genders, they even have to concord cases for number, gender for not only nouns, but numbers and adjectives... Even in French or Spanish (my mother tongue) you have to learn the gender of every noun and there are a dozen of tenses if not more. I am pretty good at Japanese, still learning. I think Japanese is similar to Hungarian in that the hard part is the alien sound of every word, nothing similar that aids in remembering the words (OK, except the English, borrowings), and getting used to the way they think, not just grammar. In fact, the grammar is extremely logical, just put the modules together, combinatorics. Very few exceptions. No gender, no plurals, no real conjugation. I heard Finnish is harder than HU because the written and spoken word is so different. So I'd say HU's difficulty is overhyped. If you know no European language (e.g. only speak Arabic or Indonesian) then it is easier than Slavic or Latin, Ancient Greek, Arabic, or German. If you speak a Turkic or Uralic tongue, Korean, or Japanese, it is even easier.

[@arthurmorgan8638]

I had pretty much the same frustrating experience with turkish (using lingq, youtube, podcasts, chat, etc) until I found someone who only talked non stop in turkish with me, everyday, for months. I also heard how turkish was used in everyday life. When I didn't understand, I wrote and looked up the words. Then I saw some progress.

[@ZoltanHoppar]

Despite the finno-ugric linguist theory, many language learner takes the curve from modern Turkish, and then learns Hungarian (14% vocabulary coverage is huge, and if you add further more languages, like azeri, or tatar, or such that percent jumps to double). Also learning Turkish opens a giant door to all turkic language, and most of them one or two dialect away. The next jump in between turkic languages that opens the next door is uyghur, that gives path to chinese, and arabic, and uzbek too. Btw. you have a nice HU pronounciation.

[@Salomsalom-sp2fl]

Learning uyghur doesn't just give path to uzbek but you will understand uzbek between ~95-100% and you will be understood in exactly the same amount since uzbek and uyghur come from the same root - karluk-chaghatai language which was the language of poetry, state and lingua franca in Central Asia, and this makes it easier to understand other turkic languages because they have got huge influence from the chaghatai language so you will easly understand tatar noghay karakalpak kazakh and other turkic languages in C.A.

Near vecchio something bridge in Firenze, Italian tourists from other regions chose me to ask, to take their photos, while there were many italians around. So I recently got an update to my DNA test results. It is 53% South Italy, followed by 24% Turkey and Caucus, 12% Aegean islands. The connection between Turks and Italians can be closer than many people think

Very true, a big Italian community came and settled in istanbul in 1700 and there is still an active large church they built in city center called St Antonio di Paduva. I am not from Istanbul, my DNA results show I have 53% south Italian dna. But yes, there is definitely connection for centuries if not a thousand year

It's interesting with Hungarian. For me it's been fits and starts - I am about a B1 speaking now with a lot of ingrained errors. But I found that speaking early really helped me, and adding input now is fine and fun, but I'm at that mid-point Dunning-Kruger phase where you know that you make mistakes. My gf tried a much less speaking based approach when we lived in BP during 2010, but she never progressed, sadly, despite being a good linguist. The resources you mentioned are good, but it would be amazing if there was more for Hungarian. I still feel a bit deprived with it.

As a native Turkish speaker and an English teacher, I strongly agree with you on the tips you gave about learning a foreign language. I always tell my students that learning a foreign language is just like taking care of newborn. You cannot feed her once a week. You have to spend quality time with her everyday. Maybe, depending on your schedule, just for 30 minutes a day, but spare that time everyday instead of studying for 3 hours every 2 weeks.

[@dadep85]

Dell'Assimil esiste un corso di serbo-croato (che ha principalmente dialoghi in serbo nella variante ekava) ma è vecchio e non viene più commercializzato, comunque si può reperire in rete su un noto sito di vendite e aste. In alternativa esiste come hai detto il corso di croato su base francese (anche io ho usato quello). Se si vuole imparare il serbo si può partire da questo libro e poi imparare le differenze tra serbo e croato: in fin dei conti stiamo parlando di due varianti della stessa lingua.

Wow! Big apreciate that u kept learning Hungarian! I would recommend to anyone who start this language that learn a small grammar and practice it in very well to be confident. We have many endings. Instead of learning at one time a lot better if u learn small amount and all the time listen and repeat. So when u hear many time it will stay in ur brain! Italian language is very beautiful as well. When i leart it i ve seen u have many irregular verbs. But it was easy to learn for me. Turkish i checked the grammar and some words i ve learnt. That language for me seems they use more ö and ü then us. And its strange when they put the no in the moddle of the word. But they express themself very nice romamtic way😊

[@WordsFromPeter]

Assimil DOES have a Serbian method, or rather Serbo-Croatian since it was still called that when the method was published at a time when Yugoslavia was still a thing. It's one of their older editions, which are arguably "better" than their most recent ones. You start off with 50 lessons in the Croatian version with Latin script and move on to Serbian and Cyrillic for another 50 lessons in the second part of the book. It is a bit outdated for sure, but I picked it up when I was just a teenager, and this is the method that got me absolutely hooked on Assimil and really made me want to visit that part of the world. It's one of my favorites of the Assimil languages, certainly in the Slavic language group anyway. It's so much fun. The dialogues are really great, with a very progressive learning curve, and the stories, humor, and pictures really make savour the culture and language. They even have songs in there! Really a must for anyone studying this language, especially at a beginner or false beginner level. It's called "le serbo-croate sans peine." You can find the book on Amazon, though it might be tricky to find the full "coffret" with CDs.

sure but people can use older or regional words that can make it difficult if they wanted to but these days because of media using basically the same words (making it boring actually) these languages sound the same or very similar but at the same time are being ruined by amateurish journalist and those working in media by constantly adapting English words for no reason it I becoming a mockery. The rule should be you only take a foreign word if you do not have one in you language, now it is such a shitty language full of anglicized words blah

[@MrSarajevofresh]

@dzevadbayraktar322 I couldn't agree more. But that is the necessity of human existence. Foreign words are constantly entering languages. The English language itself owes most of its vocabulary to French and Latin. Only 10 percent of original English words are in the English language. In the case of these Balkan languages, the "donors" are Turkish, Latin, German and Italian, but in much smaller percentages than in the case of the English language.

I just don't understand it, the grammar is a nightmare and I haven't managed a solid learning plan. Been having lessons once a week for 10 months and I remember nothing once it's over. I have no idea how to learn a language as an adult with a full time job and other things going on in the evenings.

[@LucaLampariello]

Thanks for the kind words! I am still at a B1+ because I did not make it a priority, but I think that if you spend 3 years focusing only on Hungarian, you can make it! As for what you said: having lessons once a week is not enough. If you don't plan it or record it and listen to it later, it is not going to make a dent. If you are really determined, you need to make space and time for language learning every single day, at least 30 minutes a day.

Serbian must be very complicated to master it grammar and stress system to speak as native. Even people who are born here but at home speak different language struggles to speak without "accent". so many words in Serbian and Croatian are written and spelled the same but there are always little signs that one can immediately recognize as non native. on the bright side, Serbs in everyday conversation improvise, use not formal language, avoid rules and can understand easily people who learn Serbian even when they make many mistakes. Always cute to hear. Serbian with heavy Italian accent sound very sweet and people will love it for sure

Learning Serbian through Croatian doesn’t seem to be a big deal. In my view, in terms of grammar and pronunciation, the standard forms of those two languages are comparable to the difference between American and British English, just the vocabulary and script are more divergent.

[@mybestideas1]

Not really. British and American have differrent dialects but not grammar. Serbian and Croatian have different words and even grammar. For example, Croatian often uses the auxiliary verb "htjeti" (to want) to form the future tense, while Serbian uses the auxiliary verb "će" In the future tense, Croatian spells the infinitive and auxiliary verb together when the infinitive ends in "-t" and is immediately followed by an auxiliary verb. Serbian lists these words as separate verb forms in their grammars. Croatian: Pisat ću, Reći ću, Ići ću Serbian: Pisati ću, Reći ću, Ići ću And the pronounciation and affectaton is much different, and of course they have a different writing systems. Also Croatian have unique words while Serbian 'borrows' words everywhere and uses international formats. hljeb (Serbian) kruh (Croatian) etc. Serbian and Bosnian have lots of turcisms, where Croatian has ingrained germanistic and even french words. Because the generations have learned merged language it is comprehensible, but it might not be within 50 years. I've immigrated to Canada 35 years ago and there are words in Croatian, even sentences that I can't understand.

@@mybestideas1 ​ The same could be said about BrE and AmE. Different spelling (color vs. colour, theater vs. theatre, traveling vs. travelling), different words (autumn vs. fall, flat vs. apartment, holiday vs. vacation), different grammar (did you eat yet? vs. have you eaten yet?, shall vs. will). In pronunciation, there might be even more divergent (opportunity is ˌɒp.əˈtʃuː.nə.ti/ in BrE, but /ˌɑː.pɚˈtuː.nə.t̬i/ in AmE, there are thousands of words, that are pronounced differently because of: flap t /t̬/ vs. /t/ like in "city", /ɑː/ vs. /æ/ like in "fast", /ɒ/ vs. /ɑː/ like in "cost", /ɝ./ vs. /ɜ/ like in "first". While written English might seem almost the same, spoken English could differ more than the spoken standards of Serbian and Croatian. I know that there are a couple of hundreds of relatively basic words that differ between Serbian and Croatian (in addition to ijekavica vs. ekavica), but for me, it's still the same language, even though I'm aware of how politically sensitive this topic can be.

​@@mybestideas1 Srpsko i hrvatsko će je oblik glagola hteti, hrvatskog htjeti. U oba jezika buduće vreme gradi se na isti način, od kraćeg oblika prezenta pomoćnog glagola hteti/ htjeti i infinitiva glagola koji se menja. Na osnovu ovoga što ste napisali vidi se da ste odavno emigrirali i prilično zaboravili svoj jezik. Razlika između hrvatskog i srpskog književnog jezika je mnogo manja nego između nekih dijalekata tih jezika i knjževnog. Zapravo, gramatika je ista, postoje neznatne razlike u leksici i akcentu, slično kao u varijantama engleskog. Srdačan pozdrav!

​@@mybestideas1 If I don t get wrong, I think in serbian grammar the future is formed with writnig together: ićiću, kupitću, radiću...if it s not just informal way of speaking. Vocanulary of serbian and croatian are enough distinct, so I would never learn serbian through croatian. You can understood good, but there would be many problems in comunucation. We, born in Jugoslavija know all versions of language or languages but children in future wan t be able to undestand well.

[@filippetrovic845]

​@@mybestideas1 Wow how did you make such beginner mistake. We say pisaću, ne pisati ću. If you dont understand Croatian, you dont understand Serbian either, because they are basically the same. All the difference you mentioned is negligible.

Hungarian and Finnish are distantly related in Uralic language group. This does not help much learning them together. Pashto and English are in the same family. Does this make learning them easier together? Absolutely not!!! Even though they are not in the same family, Turkish and Hungarian have more similarities from ancient historical interactions. Yes, it helps! I know it from my experience and others' experiences!😊

[@Aszpirin72]

Let's be more specific: the mutual intelligibility between Hungarian and Finnish is zero. As a native Hungarian who hasn't learnt Finnish, I am not able to understand even the simplest Finnish sentences. Not a single word.

[@zsoltberces3378]

As a Hungarian, I clarify, that Finnish and Hungarian are VERY distantly related. There are some similarities between these 2 languages, in grammar, vovel harmony principle in pronunciations, etc, but these similarities identified & acknowledged only by linguist. But for any average folks, these similarities are misleading. I, as a Hungarian, do not understand any Finnish sentence or word. Not even one! The Finnish and Estonian are much more closely related. They understands each other with some difficulties/many differences --- like Italians and Spaniards.

Драги Лука, радо Вас слушам пошто сам и ја заљубљеник у учење језика, а Ви увек имате нешто паметно да кажете. И ја имам проблем у учењу пољског, стално ми се мешају руски, који сам научила до средњег нивоа, и српски. Ипак, лакше је учити језик када знате већ неки из исте групе. Кад сам почела да учим турски, вртело ми се у глави од склопа реченице и суфикса. Грчки ми је још тежи; иако је индоевропски језик, другачији је од осталих, не знам хоћу ли успети да га савладам. Од срца Вам честитам на Вашем изузетном успеху у учењу језика!

Učeći jezik, upoznajemo i dušu naroda koji ga govori. Dopadaju mi se njihovi vicevi, priče za decu i poštovanje koje pokazuju u međuljudskim odnosima. Otvara mi se potpuno novi svet. Kupila sam dosta knjiga na turskom preko Amazona (za različite nivoe znanja) i sad ću polako čitati. Srećno s arapskim, mislim da je to još veći zalogaj od turskog!
