    Hey Bro,
    I am a Tamilian from Tanjore living in Germany.. I am totally impressed with your level of French, and your Tamil is definitely NOT Bad.. even people living Bangalore can't speak like you.
    I speak German(B2), English, Tamil and bit of Kannada. If you want to improve your Tamil, I am happy to help you out there😃

      Thanks man, Arun! I'd love to work on my tamil in 2022. Would love to work on it with you. Your German is as good as my French, if you're B2, but do hit me up on instagram and we can connect :)

    You can speak 3 Dravidian languages, except the one I am currently studying, namely Telugu. Why do I study it? Because I always wanted to see how Dravidian languages function. I could choose any of them, but Telugu seems to be the best choice for a non-Indian. Sure, there are more resources for Tamil, but Tamil has 3 major drawbacks: 1. Its pronunciation is rather hard. 2. Its vocabulary is purely Dravidian, with very few cognates with Hindi. 3. It has a diglossia issue, i.e. the spoken language is different from the written language. This is a problem, because I mainly read newspaper articles to learn vocabulary, which gradually increases my listening comprehension. If the newspaper language is different from the video language, this trick does not work. Before Telugu, I had already started to study Hindi, but my level is not good enough in that language either. The positive fact is that there are lots of Hindi (and Urdu) videos with English subtitles, which currently is my main way of learning vocabulary in those languages. Unfortunately, Telugu video creators do not bother putting English subtitles. My main problem with Telugu is the grammar. I have found a grammar in English, but it does not explain verb conjugation extensively enough. For those who do not know, Telugu verbs are very tricky. If I do not study verb tables, I will not be able to master them. I have tried to create some verb tables myself, using Google translate, but the procedure is rather slow and I am very likely to miss several verb forms.

    The Dutch in between Hindi, Kannada and Urdu, Tamil is confusing for me. While I don't understand the later languages at all, the dutch sounds so familiar for my German ears. So my comprehension went from complete gibberish to "I can almost understand" back to gibberish. :-) Learning dutch as a "gateway language" into German is probably a bad idea. The languages seem very similar, but they are quite different. As a German I can sometimes guess the meaning of Dutch words, but I don't understand complete sentences. Learning Dutch and German at the same time will be confusing.
    Currently I am learning French (I found you through Easy French.) and a bit of Portuguese. One day I wane learn at least a bit of Hindi and Urdu because I wane learn a language that is written in a non Greek / Latin / Cyrillic script. With Hindi and Urdu I get two very different scripts for the effort of learning one language. At least that is my idealized conception. :-)

    • @JoshuaBalata
      @JoshuaBalata  3 года назад

      About the similarities, you're right! It makes it difficult when it's almost the same but not exactly. You need to remember 2 versions.
      It's a fun project for me, I'll try it and see what happens :) I'm going to work on a romance language after Dutch, Spanish or Italian perhaps.
      I can help you with Urdu or Hindi. If you're really motivated, I'm happy to connect with you on the weekend and help you with it, record bits of our sessions and make a video of it. Let me know what you think!

    • @56932982
      @56932982 3 года назад

      @@JoshuaBalata Well. My long term goal with the romance languages is an at least an OK level (solid B2) of French and to have at least A2 / B1 skills in Portuguese, Spanish and Italian. I wane dabble into classical Latin also. Sadly I don't have any interest in Romanian and the lesser known romance languages like Ladin, Sardinian, Catalan, ...
      Many thanks for the offer on Hindi / Urdu, but I have to decline the offer for now. The problem is that I am still at a very low level in French and Portuguese. I need to focus on these first. It will most likely take at least a year until I can devote any time to Hindi / Urdu. Also some of my colleagues at work are from India and speak Hindi. So learning it with them is a perfect opportunity to connect with them closer.
      And through my French studies I came across the Breton language. Yet an other bucket list item...
