Merhaba :). Molt xula la xerrada! I like the idea of breaking things down to better understand the basics. Before the real fun of learning begins... :D
Sure, here's a more advanced trilingual dialogue at the B2 level in Romanian, Catalan, and French, without a table format: --- Romanian: Salut! Cum te descurci în ultima vreme? Catalan: Hola! Com et va últimament? French: Salut! Comment ça se passe ces derniers temps? English: Hi! How have you been lately? Romanian: Destul de bine, mulțumesc. Tu? Catalan: Bastant bé, gràcies. I tu? French: Plutôt bien, merci. Et toi? English: Quite well, thank you. And you? Romanian: Am fost destul de ocupat cu munca, dar mă descurc. Catalan: He estat força ocupat amb la feina, però me'n surto. French: J'ai été assez occupé par le travail, mais je m'en sors. English: I've been quite busy with work, but I'm managing. Romanian: Ce faci în weekendul acesta? Catalan: Què faràs aquest cap de setmana? French: Que fais-tu ce week-end? English: What are you doing this weekend? Romanian: Plănuiesc să merg la o cabană la munte cu câțiva prieteni. Catalan: Tinc pensat anar a una cabana a la muntanya amb alguns amics. French: Je prévois d'aller dans un chalet à la montagne avec quelques amis.

Y es-tu déjà allé? English: That sounds fantastic! Have you been there before? Romanian: Nu, va fi prima dată. Abia aștept să explorez împrejurimile. Catalan: No, serà la primera vegada. Tinc moltes ganes d'explorar els voltants. French: Non, ce sera la première fois. J'ai hâte d'explorer les environs. English: No, it will be my first time. I can't wait to explore the surroundings. Romanian: Ce pasiuni ai în afară de drumeții? Catalan: Quines aficions tens a part del senderisme? French: Quelles passions as-tu à part la randonnée?

French: J'aime cuisiner et voyager. Récemment, je suis allé en Italie. English: I like cooking and traveling. Recently, I went to Italy. Romanian: Ce locuri ai vizitat acolo? Catalan: Quins llocs has visitat allà? French: Quels endroits as-tu visités là-bas? English: What places did you visit there? Romanian: Am vizitat Roma, Florența și Veneția. Toate au fost uimitoare!

French: Je pense que Venise m'a le plus plu pour son atmosphère unique. English: I think Venice was my favorite for its unique atmosphere. Romanian: Mi-ar plăcea să aud mai multe despre călătoriile tale. Putem să ne întâlnim la o cafea săptămâna viitoare? Catalan: M'agradaria sentir més sobre els teus viatges. Podem quedar per prendre un cafè la setmana vinent? French: J'aimerais en entendre plus sur tes voyages. On peut se retrouver pour un café la semaine prochaine? English: I'd love to hear more about your travels. Can we meet for a coffee next week? Romanian: Desigur! Sună bine. Hai să stabilim o zi. Catalan: És clar! Sona bé. Anem a fixar un dia. French: Bien sûr! Ça me va. Fixons un jour. English: Of course! Sounds good. Let's set a day. Romanian: Perfect. Pe curând! Catalan: Perfecte. Fins aviat! French: Parfait. À bientôt! English: Perfect. See you soon! Romanian: Pe curând! Catalan: Fins aviat! French: À bientôt! English: See you soon! ---
@@CouchPolyglot I watched it already, being the simp that I am. On a serious note, I also have a hard time with ChatGPT. It can do so much, I feel like I'm in an amusement park and don't know what to play. "Teach me some lingala" "Teach me a2 swahili and kimbundu side by side" "10 sentences in Bengali". So, I am trying to stick to books. If I can spend 2 or 3 hours a day reading literature or studying books, nothing will be boring to me. But if you have something specific on your mind, ChatGPT is great. I got one paragraph in French and asked it to translate to Italian, then Spanish, German, and so on. So in a matter of 10 minutes I practiced about 8 languages. And if it's a language like German (that I'm a beginner) I ask for it to provide word for word translation right beside each word, which looks like this: Ich (I) liebe (love) Sprachen (languages) lernen (to learn).
And there it is again, the "dictatorship of fun", why should learning a language be fun? Is it even realistic to impose that expectation upon an endeavor that entails mechanic spaced repetition, confusion, memorization, social anxiety, drill after drill? But why? "Fun" can be assessed. I'm having a hard time imagining "fun" being a valid assessment criterium for language proficiency at the Defense Language Institute, or for trying to survive in a hostile environment like jail, enemy lines, homelessness, etc.
We actually mentioned that a system is even more important than motivation/passion/fun, cause a system keeps you consistent. I do think that if you have fun, it will be easier to stay consistent though. I remember I was quite bad at history in school, cause the method used was so boring, it was just about learning by heart. I studied and passed cause I had to, but I am sure if it had been taught differently, I would have enjoyed it AND would have had better grades. Later in life I started enjoying history when reading historical novels and felt motivated to find out more. The same happens to me with exercising, if I find a way to enjoy it, I will stay a lot more consistent than if I force myself to do it "cause I have to" or "cause it is good for my health". I would argue that most polyglots do have fun when learning cause... what is the point of spending so many hours on something you don't enjoy?

What’s your first language, Laura?
Catalan and Spanish (I always spoke Catalan with my family, so I guess Catalan is a bit stronger)
