3 years for fluency; Learned by myself. It was Japanese, not that difficult. You can try to look for materials on reddit, since there are many subreddits dedicated to learning specific languages. I usually look for word lists online and get my grammar polished on youtube. Flashcards are also nice for vocab.
When you've got the basics down, aka. the sentence structure, he/she/it/you/me/they/them, basic verb conjugations and a sizable enough vocabulary, feel free to just listen to podcasts or watch streamers in that language.
Good luck if you're planning to learn.
I wanted to learn Italian and it took me almost 2 years at first I had an American accent now I got better but most of the people say that they know Italian very well but the only thing they know is "pasta, spaghetti,mamma mia and lasagna"
I learned English in about 2,5 years. My mother language and English use the exact same alphabet just different pronunciation, so it's not that hard. The hardest thing for me at the beginning were the pronunciation and gender thing (like she/he, hen/rooster, etc.)
thank you for the answerss <3 I've been learning korean on and off for a few years and i'm still stuck in the early stages. Like, my vocab is super small maybe under 200, I just can't be consistent with it cause i'm learning by myself (i suck)
I do make flashcards tho, and i agree it's super helpful, but making it yourselves is kinda a chore. Rn i'm using app and online books material for learning grammar. But yea, i can hardly read webtoons without google translate it's kinda pathetic.
usernamenyaaa, orang indo atau malay kahh wkwkw. english is also my second language, but i took some class and i learn it for yearsss. i'm kinda comfortable with english now (maybe bc i got the bases down when i was a kid and my brain just soak things better then)
Orang Indo hehe
And yeah, for me it feels more comfortable to talk in English too cause not many people around me know English well (so I can curse say whatever tf I want)
ayyy ada indo
gw stujuu, tapi minusnya karena org sekitar ga makan media barat, jokenya jadi ga nyambung :"D
btw gmn nih sesama fujo indo di tengah gemparan boti hunter? jujurrr gw ga suka bgt gerak gerik indo skrg
Iyanih, mau ngejokes susah jadinya.
Klo masalah itu gw pasang muka tembok aja sih, biar ngga dicurigain. Lagian rata" si boti hunter jg klo botinya beneran cantik/ganteng kek idol gitu mereka tetep demen
For people who have learned a new language, how long did it take you? Did you learn by yourself or take lessons somewhere?
