    Came here for the Manx section, it's great to see people from outside take an interest in our traditional languages here in the UK. I myself speak a traditional dialect of English that's very different from the standard language from down in London and I've had Americans asking me about its features!
    Would you ever consider doing a language highlight on Manx considering it's a minority language with so few speakers?

    For subtitles I sometimes get frustrated when watching a movie in a language I know _fairly_ well (French) but feel like the English subtitles don't quite capture the vibe of original speech. I can't suggest anything better - especially nothing that could fit in a subtitle, but it's a reminder of the limits of translation - especially in subtitles.
    Because I'm also a new junkie I have sometimes switched to reading world news in French to keep up my knowledge and grow vocabulary. If I don't understand a particular word, I can go read an article on the topic in English and then when I go back to the French one and get the meaning from the context, rather than go to a dictionary or something.

    • @JuniperBoy
      @JuniperBoy 2 месяца назад

      That's true, but at least you are aware of this, and depending on how well you know the language spoken, you can get some of the extra nuances. When you watch something dubbed, none of this is available, and the dialogue may be massively changed to help with the lip-synching.

    @edwardthomas6956 19 дней назад

    No English speaking native speaker should compare themselves with foreigners, especially bilinguals, because language learning is not mainstream or culturally relevant to the UK, USA, Aus, NZ etc. Because English is everyone's second language and there is little grammar to it and massive commercial motivation to learn English for foreigners, it goes against the grain for us to even use Duolingo. Creating a variety of language projects may be ironically the best way to stay interested, especially when doing Hungarian which feels obscure on its own besides being a bit like learning computer code for an English native speaker... There is not much point focusing on an obscure language to the exclusion of other interesting languages, life is too short, however Welsh and Irish are fascinating even for just a basic level

    Anyone who wants to promote an endangered language like Irish or Scottish Gaelic should consider targeting individuals who are already bilingual because studies show that their brains are already more developed for coping with learning a language in adolescence or adulthood. Just over 50% of Europeans are already bilingual to say nothing of the Africans and those from the Indian subcontinent who regularly speak 3 or 4 languages

    Great video, but...I highly disagree with the take on dubs. Genuinely, when are you going to stare at someone's mouth movement and get ticked off by it? Dubs unlock so much more content, that even if the lip syncing was atrocious (which in my experience you don't even notice it), it's well worth it if you want to, say, rewatch Harry Potter or Star Wars in French. Heck, you can also keep up with the hot new thing and talk about watching Dune 2 in German with your friends.

      I agree dubs are a treasure. I can't stand them at all in my native language but they are a fundamental tool in my language learning toolkit.
      Dubbing uses a more standardized dialect than originals, it's a perfect middle ground between easier stuff like news and full swing native speech. It's really great.
      I'm studying Italian right now and watching plenty of dubbed American, German or even Norwegian TV shows. Did the same for Spanish and Portuguese. Even for Catalan if you look for it there are hundreds of episodes of various dubbed TV shows from the 90's and 00's it's crazy. If you think about it there is probably more content that's dubbed to Catalan than original, due to the size of the language.
      The only minor inconvenience is that they tend to soften slurs with stupid words like "Maledizione!".
