For native English speakers, languages like Spanish, French, and German are generally easier to learn, while languages like Russian, Polish, Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean tend to be harder because they’re structurally more different from English. Does the same principle work in reverse? For example, are languages that are difficult for English speakers generally easier for native Slavic or Asian-language speakers to learn because they’re more distant from English but potentially closer to their own languages?

I want to learn german and russian but I know I’m going to have to fully commit to one for two year minimum .I’m slightly more curious and motivated to learn russian but I know as a native english speaker. I am more than likely going to have faster progress with german over russian even though I learned the russian alphabet in 2 days.Would me choosing german satisfy me in the long run .

Btw there are mutiple german language schools around me and not one russian school and I read that talking to others help you in the language you’re trying to learn so showing up to class irl would help more ….right?Also i think it would be awesome to watch the basement scene in “Inglorious Bastards” without reading the subtitles lol.

This orthodox church I’m preparing to visit soon has one @7am then another @9:30 .Is one of them in another language or just for people who couldn’t make it to the earlier one and which one should I go to as a first timer?

I am planning to visit some country from the middle east but having a hard time choosing so i’m going based off of this

Hi, so i’ve been stuck in the hospital for like 2 weeks now and I was planning on going to church when i get out (for the first time ) I was initially was supposed to go before I injured myself but bad timing i guess anywho .After studying for years I have finally decided to follow God via orthodoxy and right now i’m at my all time low .Could i use a prayer rope and do the Jesus prayer to get me through this hard times until i’m able to finally be healed and attend my first liturgy and by the grace of God join ? Or do i have to get it blessed or something like that and i seen how to do the Jesus prayer online as well ? I just want to make sure im not doing anything in vain with like using a rope and prayer, just really need to get through this tuff time right now .May the grace of God be with you all.

I’m in the hospital and the doctor keeps suggesting it but i have a fear of gagging and it causing me to gag while living with it .But i want to get healthy and leave this place im so bored .Tell me does make you gag 24/7 and if so what could stop it .

I hate gagging and was wondering if having a nj would cause gagging ?

does these things cause intense gagging ?

what do your typical day look like with your mal?What training do you guys do to satisfy it ?

I live up north what dogs could i use to hunt in the cold with and not be bothered?

Do people actually get healed from this ? especially if it’s from h pylori? i don’t care how long it takes just want to know could things go back to normal at some point .

are most of you having just pain or nausea cause i would hate to be gagging all the time if i have this thing in my

I might be getting one soon , just wanted to know does it always make u gang and choke and does it go away ?

I sometimes have really bad nausea so i was wondering does the nj cause really bad nausea and gagging and does your body get used to it ?

I’ve been having some bad gastritis flare ups for about a year and it has not got better with meds and now it’s at a point i can’t hold liquid down and im losing a pound a day , i don’t respond well to the meds and one of them even causes my arms to go stiff for 30 mins .If im over my eating life and just want energy but if i have really bad sinuses gas problems could i just get a gj tube instead of going nj for a while then getting the gj.
