Hello, I am a freshman. I like English very much but am not an English major. I failed in the college entrance examination - now I want to learn a small language by myself.

Owner, I am self-taught German. I can handle the German Level 4 exam by myself after one year of self-study. French should be similar. Our school does not have a German major, but every university will also have tests in minor languages ??when taking CET-4 or CET-6. Please pay attention.

There is a saying in the small language circle:

Three minutes of Korean, three hours of English, three days of French, three months of Japanese, three years of German, three hundred years of Arabic.

German:

The pronunciation is very close to English, tongue vibrato is basically unnecessary, and it is simple and easy to master; grammatically, nouns are difficult, with 3 characters, 4 cases, and the plural form changes irregularly. , the word form changes are quite complex, and the adjective suffixes need to be matched, so it is suitable for people who are strong in logic and willing to memorize by rote. The verbs are much simpler than English, with 6 tenses; the syntax is also complex, but it has many similarities with Chinese word order grammar. It can be used as a reference. It is suitable for people who are not very good at learning English grammar but are very good at learning Chinese grammar.

French:

The pronunciation is quite different from English, and tongue vibrato is basically unnecessary. It is a bit difficult to get started, but once you get started, it will be fine; verbs are a difficult point in grammar, and the tenses are quite rich. (Up to more than 20 tenses, English only has 16 tenses), suitable for people with good literary literacy and rich language expressiveness to learn; nouns are divided into yin and yang, there is no case change, and the plural change rules are simple; the syntax is flexible and easy to understand and master , difficult to use proficiently; suitable for people who are proficient in English grammar and have a vocabulary of more than 10,000.

Spanish:

If you don’t know the vibrato, don’t learn it. If you can, you can master the pronunciation in two days, but the stress is not easy to master; the grammar is very close to French, and the verb tenses are much richer. Changes are difficult to master; nouns are divided into yin and masculine and can be found in regular patterns, there is no case, and the rules for plural changes are simple; it is suitable for people with certain musical abilities to learn.

Russian:

It is quite difficult to get started and requires a lot of pronunciation, but as long as you don’t give up, you will see the light of day in two weeks; grammatically, nouns are difficult, 3 characters, 6 Case, the rules of plural changes are complicated, and the word form is similar to German, but the yin and yang of the nouns are very regular; the verb tenses are super simple: past tense, present tense, and future tense, there are only three! It is suitable for those who have not established the concept of tense; words with many syllables, such as "teacher" is called priebadavajieli, are suitable for those who have a good foundation in oral English.

Japanese:

It is easy to get started, but the more you learn, the more difficult it becomes. Especially in Japanese, people of different classes and ages have different sayings, which is very complicated and difficult to remember. There is little connection between Japanese and English, so whether English is good or not does not affect Japanese learning. Chinese people are easily interested in Japanese. Japanese syllables are short and easy to learn, and all Japanese pronunciations can be found in Chinese. However, Japanese people’s way of thinking is different from Chinese people, and Japanese is relatively reserved, so you need to understand Japanese culture. Only then can you truly master Japanese. Suitable for people who are not very good at English and are interested in Japanese.

Foreign languages ??are tools, and the purpose of learning a foreign language is to learn and apply it. Therefore, when choosing a foreign language, you should consider its scope of application and frequency of application:

(In addition, When choosing a foreign language, you should also consider your future development, which is related to your major, employment, and choice of direction abroad. )

In addition to English and Chinese, French, Japanese, and German are all commonly used internationally. France, Japan, and Germany are also developed countries, so taking these languages ??may be helpful for future study and work.

If you want to study in the United States in the future, Spanish is the best choice. Most of the products here are in two languages, Spanish and English. And there are a lot of Mexicans, and Mexicans speak Spanish, so Spanish is a good choice.

Because there are 70,000 Chinese businessmen from Zhejiang in Spain, and Spanish is the official language in South America and southern California in the United States, it is extremely versatile. With the increasing economic and trade exchanges between China, Spain and South America, the demand for Spanish-speaking talents is bound to continue to increase, and there is a shortage of talents proficient in Spanish in China. Therefore, the employment space for Spanish-speaking talents is very broad.

Japanese is very important in the IT industry and software industry, especially for foreign companies. Therefore, from an employment perspective, learning Japanese is still relatively competitive in the market. Of course, the premise is that you must learn it well. There are more and more Japanese capital, and China and Japan also attach great importance to cooperation. In terms of utilization, there are many Japanese companies in China and the United States. If you know Japanese in the United States, your chances of being hired by the company or your salary in the company will be greatly improved. If you like watching cartoons, it will be more fun to learn.

There is a saying that with the three languages ??of English, French and Spanish plus Chinese, we can communicate with 90% of the world’s population without any barriers. French is spoken in 13 French-speaking African countries (excluding countries where Arabic is the mother tongue), France, parts of Canada, parts of Belgium, parts of Switzerland, Monaco, Liechtenstein, Andorra, and Luxembourg. French management ranks first in Europe, the fifth largest economy in the world, and its political influence ranks first in Europe. All documents must have French translations. And French is recognized as the most beautiful language in the world (although I don’t think so). Generally speaking, learning French is relatively good.

Germany has a developed economy, the third largest economy in the world, and has extensive trade relations with China. There are more than 100 million people in the world who speak German as their mother tongue. In addition to Germany, German is also spoken as their mother tongue in Austria, Liechtenstein, most of Switzerland, South Tyrol (northern Italy), a small part of Belgium, and France. (Alsace) and Luxembourg along the German border. Germany's ethnic minorities in Poland, Romania and the former Soviet republics have also partially preserved the German language. If you are interested in German and can master it well, you will definitely be invincible.

In the early stages of learning, the second foreign language will have a certain impact on English, but you must persist. As long as the method is appropriate, after a period of study, you can not only learn the second foreign language well, but also improve your original English. level, but the prerequisite is a solid foundation in English.

German and English both belong to the Germanic language family, and are related languages ??to English. They have many similarities. Students with a foundation in English will find it easier to get started. If the foundation of English is very strong, learning German will have a great impact on the original foundation of English. There will be no conflict. Watching more German movies and feature films will help you learn German.

In the early stages of learning French, learners' English will inevitably be affected to a certain extent and may even be temporarily forgotten. This is a normal phenomenon. Learners must not be anxious or give up learning, as this will outweigh the gains. To master English and French at the same time requires a step-by-step process. First, lay a solid foundation in French. When a certain foundation is reached, it will take about a month to restore English proficiency, and then learn French. Repeat this several times, and master both English and French. You can use this language freely and master it thoroughly.

Compared with German and French, it is easier to choose Japanese as a second foreign language, because Japanese and English are completely different languages, and there is no conflict in learning. She said: "There are many foreign words in Japanese. , a large number of words are converted from English, and their pronunciation is similar to English, which means that while learning, it also expands the English vocabulary and can stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning

Spain. Spanish and French are more difficult than English, and the grammar is much more rigorous than English. After learning Spanish well, it will be much easier to learn English.

Interest is still very important behind the language. It contains treasures far beyond itself. No matter which choice you make, I think you will face a painful and happy process.

I hope you can make a satisfactory choice:)~~

Is it difficult to learn

Three minutes of Korean, three hours of English, three days of French, and three months of Japanese , three years of German, three hundred years of Arabic

As for the difficulty of small languages, this has been explained clearly, let’s decipher it a little:

Korean: Korean The characters are Pinyin characters, which represent both phonetics and meanings. They are pronounced like circles and blocks, and can be pronounced like Chinese Pinyin. In addition, there are a large number of Chinese words in Korean, and Chinese people have obvious advantages in vocabulary when learning Korean.

English: For those who are starting to speak a small language, English is used as a reference. The reason why English is popular all over the world is that, in addition to the strength of English-speaking countries, the most important thing is that it is easy to master. In addition to am is are, have has had, plus ed and ing, it is a matter of vocabulary. I don’t know what the piles of English books in the bookstore are studying.

French: French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese are all direct descendants of Latin. Their grammatical structures, including the writing of many words, are very similar. Their common difficulty lies in: complex grammar, various verb conjugations and erratic yin and masculinity of words; in addition, mastering the pronunciation of Dulu in Italian, Spanish and Portuguese is also a difficulty. If you are used to the regular English letters, you will find that many letters in these languages ??look quite different. Some are equipped with antennas, such as à é ù, some are wearing hats, such as ? ê ?, some are wearing glasses, such as ü, and some are wearing glasses. Is there anyone wearing high heels? Some students will judge from this that the bird language has too many letters and is as troublesome as women; this is not the case. These letters with notes are not included in the alphabet of each language. Its function is only to assist you in pronunciation or pronunciation. Mark reread. .

Japanese: When I was in school, there were two Japanese majors in the dormitory. I heard them say that it is easy to get started with Japanese, but it becomes more difficult as you learn later. China and Japan are separated by a thin strip of water. Japanese is derived from Chinese. Many Japanese articles contain Chinese characters. Even for people who have never studied it, they can seem to understand a thing or two. It is very similar to Martian writing.

German: In addition to verb conjugation and complex grammar, German nouns include yin and masculine, as well as neuter, and the concept of one, two, three, and four "cases", which requires extreme coordination; learn it well German requires not only a rigorous academic attitude but also an iron will; generally speaking, to study abroad, 800 hours of German are required, while 500 hours of French is enough. My understanding of German is limited to this. I can’t tell you more. I still need to ask my German classmates for detailed explanations!

Arabic: Apart from our mother tongue, the most difficult language to master is Arabic. , this is the common sense of people all over the world. Those words with hooks and hooks have nothing to do with the Chinese we use or the English we learn. Without considerable effort, it is really difficult to distinguish and remember. Arabic seems to have absorbed all the difficulties of Western languages, such as the number and case changes in nouns. Verbs also have the concept of gender, number, and tense coordination. The most unusual thing is that its text is written from right to left, which may be helpful in treating cervical spondylosis. Learning Arabic well without the skills of One Thousand and One Nights would be a fantasy. Say nothing more, God Adi!

Russian: Apart from being able to pronounce "I love you" in Chinese, I basically know nothing about Russian. Based on my feeling, the difficulty should be between German and Arabic. Specifically If you don’t understand, please ask a Russian diving student to help you.

Liu Xuying//Haha, let’s talk about Russian. To some extent, Russian is as difficult as Arabic. There are so many patterns and complex formulas. It feels like you will not give up until you torture two people to death, but this feeling stops at being serious. After studying for a year or two, once the basics are laid, it will be okay, because I heard that those who learn Japanese will have many honorifics later, and each has its own difficulties. I’m convinced! As for the beauty of Russian, a Russian writer once said that Russian is the most beautiful language in the world, sometimes sonorous and sometimes gentle. Of course, I think Chinese is the most beautiful. Haha, Russian is not very nice, but it is very special.

Let’s talk about whether it sounds good or not:

Italian is the language spoken to lovers. ----- This is what the teacher said in the first class of Lao Yuan’s school. The old man said: French is the language spoken to friends, Italian is the language spoken to lovers, Spanish is the language spoken to God, and German is the language spoken to enemies; even French, which considers itself romantic, must give way to "lover". Italian, you can see how tempting Italian is

Italian sounds very slurred, other languages ??can be considered boring at best, Italian is nakedly provocative, this is what I learned from watching Italian porn. Conclusion

Speak French to your friends. "The Last Lesson" says that "French is the most beautiful language in the world." Beauty means it sounds good, but after hearing the teacher speak a few words in French in the first class, I didn't think it was that legendary. French sounds more mellow and solemn. It was once the communication language of the upper class in Europe. If Italian is beautiful, then French tends to be more elegant

I don’t really want to know why I have to speak Spanish to God. , I’m young and can’t ask God; Spanish and Portuguese sound more wild, and people who can grunt will not only listen to it but also have fun. If you can’t grunt, you won’t be able to speak Spanish. Xiyumi. com

German uses a lot of plosives, which sound very powerful, and there are also many fricatives, which sound like sneers, which is the most suitable way to use language to show power and supplement it with sneers. They despise each other, so there is a saying that they should speak German to their enemies

Isn’t Russian tougher? I haven’t learned it. This intuition comes from my respect for Putin

Arabic looks like scripture and sounds like chanting. It is very mysterious. Islamic people have deep feelings for it

If you want to say "Korean is used to spread rumors, Japanese is used to spread rumors." "Used to provoke" may be praised by many patriotic young people, but this is more like grandstanding and unfair to the language itself.

There are many Koreans living upstairs in our community. Most of them are Korean students from Peking University and Renmin University of China. They are men and women. We often meet them in the elevator. Their Korean sounds soft, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. , is it quite sexy?

The Japanese sounds hard, a bit dull and overbearing, but the singing is still quite nice. Is it the melody of the song that plays a role?

Everyone has their own preferences: whether a language is good or not depends largely on how much a person identifies with the language country and what kind of preferences he or she has for the country’s idols.
