I'm a simple emigrant and I am learning German
Earlier, language seemed to me the same as in stereotypes: sharp, rough, completely illogical, as in those videos where a butterfly in five languages sounds the same, and in German it's like a verdict of life imprisonment. But after living in Germany and studying the German language itself, my view changed a lot. In every language there are many things that are not described by rules but require memorization by heart. If you don't take such moments into account, the most difficult parts of German stop being so insurmountable for a Russian-speaking person. For example, one of the main problematic points is the cases, but which speaker of a language with six cases would be afraid of German, where there are only four, and are actively used in practice only three? Unfortunately, I haven't devoted much time to studying the language, although now I really want to know it. And I don't mean the everyday ability to speak and understand; rather, I mean the academic language, deeper knowledge. In addition to using German for fluent communication or career advancement, I am attracted by a huge number of works by outstanding psychiatrists written in this language. It would be wonderful to read them in the original! I hope that very soon this will be possible, at least to some extent. Are you studying a foreign language right now? What motivates you in it? #language #useful
