No, absolutely not, many were very friendly and I haven’t given up the project, just put it on ice. It’s a rp server and I have a lightforged draenei. My thoughts were to rp not just a foreigner but even an alien so bad language would fit the role. I haven’t found a guild and the server is quite empty.
But I suppose I need better German first, there is so much I don’t understand and specially when it comes to slang. Writing in English isn’t appreciated and what made me give up was an Occulus run when I couldn’t find the way and all were yelling insults in German.
I can speak some of the Bethesda’s dragon language. But that’s not elven. Thats dragon. I have not cosplayd dragon yet. I am too puny and no one would believe me.
I learnt English because of, and with ambition. I was at 3rd grade and there was this girl who spoke a few words of English (I’m 30 years old now, and back then, at 3rd grade, knowing 3-5 words was huge). People acted like she was a god. So that triggered me, so bad. I can’t tell you how bad I got triggered. I was fluent in English next year. And some time after, (passing high-school and college English Proficiency tests) I took a break.
Forgot a lot of things I know, mostly grammar. But at that point in my life, where grades don’t matter, and being fluent and effectively understanding is more important than being a grammar natsi (some how that word is blocked so I found a workaround), I took a different approach to improving myself. I watched all my favorite movies and series with Eng audio and Eng subbed. Learnt every word and idiom I encountered, their usage, how are they being pronounced.
Now I speak like a mad-man. (It’s an expression I saw on the internet, used in expressing something advanced or extreme like this. Not that I’m actually a mad-man. There’s your for instance.)
So you might take a similar approach to learning the language you want.
Strategy is important, yes, but being motivated and not letting it go is mandatory.
I’m a native English speaker and I’ve picked up bits and bobs from other languages and German, Spanish and French came very easily too me even the accent that your speaking about with French.
Languages I’ve always had problems with and it’s mainly pronouncing the words is languages like Polish, Russian, Danish/Norwegian/Swedish. It was a struggle to even pronounce the Polish word Hello (Czesc) in Polish even though I was repeating what was being said apparently I still wasn’t saying it correctly.
It all depends where your from I guess as I imagine most native English speakers find German and French easier to pick up than Scandinavian languages.
I’m sure the people have no problems of they start to learn foreign languages watch aren’t similar to their own in their childhood. I think there is somewhere a break who just take you the abtility to pronounce terms correctly if you haven’t done it before.
I am from Serbia and I am not a native English speaker but still I find German and Swedish and English ten times easier to understand then French I can’t explain it actually but French is the most difficult language for me to understand as I said French sounds to me.
There’s your for instance.)
to me.
