i thought you meant the site i provided

[Sol]

No, Forvo is a great website. I use it regularly.

[Vorginia]

[reddit] is full of leftist faggots.

And if you say something that even remotely triggers them they and their friends and 20 or 30 dummy accounts downvote you into oblivion.

As Sol said, its full of leftist faggots - those who abuse the "upvote/downvote system" in order to censor you.

[Sol]

To add to that, I am a big fan of Icelandic due to its linguistic purism.

Linguistic purism in Icelandic

I won't get around to learning Icelandic for quite some time though.

[Pandadude12345]

It is considered very hard to learn. I applaud your attempt to learn this language.

[Sol]

I am sure it will present difficulties, but as a Germanic language, I don't think it'll be too difficult. I already know how to deal with case systems thanks to German and Icelandic grammar as a whole isn't much more complicated than German grammar. It's certainly easier to learn than say a Slavic language. The main problem with Icelandic is a lack of interesting content. I am interested in Old Norse texts such as the Poetic Edda though.

The grammar is the same but the Spanish pronunciation is different. Particularly the lisping "s" and in some regions they speak extremely fast. There are also words that are particular to Mexico and not used in Spain (chingado for instance).

This also applies to other latin American countries where each have their own vocabulary and particular expressions that are not used in other countries. In any case the basic language and grammar is the same but in latin America they are using a lot of english words that are not used in Spain.

If you want to unlearn Mexican go and spend some time in Spain.

Hwy stande ge ealne dag idele?

Almost like Swedish: "Varför står du hela dagen sysslolös" or in old dialect "vaför staar dö heila daajin o latar de.

[ThrowAway]

It's also very much like Dutch. "Waarom staat gij elke dag ijdel?"

[Herzog]

Although this probably shouldn't go under 'Hobbies', what is your opinion on activism on preserving and promoting knowledge and literature of endangered or marginal European languages, such as Frisian or Sorbian, for instance? (I can think of others, of course).

[Rauta]

Very close yes indeed. If you speak Swedish you can read Dutch reasonably well. Understanding spoken Dutch is more difficult. All the Germanic languages are closely relate.

[Rauta]

Fair enough if you have the time and interest for it, although I think we need to focus on preserving and promoting the endangered white race. What we really are in need of in Europe is a common language. We are more divided by languages here than by national borders and most people don't speak more than one or two languages. The US are better off in that respect.

[Herzog]

I totally agree. I meant this idea as something on the side, purely for reasons of preserving heritage. Obviously, it shouldn't in any way interfere with or impede our main goal. The more harmony, the better. We have enough strife among brotherly peoples as it is.

[Rauta]

We're in agreement I think. If someone is willing to promote it it's fair enough and even a good thing. It's about preserving cultures and languages, which is very important after all. Many minority languages run the risk of disappearing due to the current globalisation trend and if that happens part of our heritage disappears. On the other hand one can wonder if it's worth preserving something that cannot sustain itself.

[Sol]

On the other hand one can wonder if it's worth preserving something that cannot sustain itself.

You could raise the same question about the white race though. Most white people have no desire to preserve our race. We have to make them change their minds.

[Herzog]

Quite so. Our decline was and is (((assisted))) and it's time to reverse that.

[Rauta]

You could raise the same question about the white race though.

Yes, that thought was what I had in mind, although I believe that most whites do have a desire to preserve the race. They just don't know that we are endangered since they are still asleep, but the sleeper will awaken. I am only wondering what's the percentage of the population who is awake at this stage, maybe 5-10%? When we reach 10% things will start to accelerate.

[Herzog]

I see your point, but I'd still be willing to assist in the preservation of what is valuable, as much as it is feasible.

I made a Discord server for language learning. I am banned from the normie ones because they are run by communists. Most of them are connected with reddit subreddits, so they are basically all faggots. We can try it anyway and see how many people join.
