The network of the usual suspects works well enough, but I am glad that at least the quote survived. Later generations will find it a consolation that this kind of Lingsoc did not pass completely unchallenged. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

lingoleng, this behavior is unacceptable at HTLAL, because it breaks the forum rule against personally attacking other users:
This is not the first time you have personally attacked other users over the quality of their posts, and you have been warned about this behavior several times by multiple moderators. In fact, this is your second such post in less than 12 hours. The moderating team has discussed this behavior, and we will no longer permit it here at HTLAL. Please consider this a final warning, from the entire moderating team: If we need to speak to you about the forum rules again, your account will be closed, and you will be banned from HTLAL. If you wish to disagree with another user's advice, please do so civilly, by explaining what is wrong with the advice, and please leave the user themselves out of it. If you feel that a particular piece of advice is both incorrect and very frequent, you are welcome to politely summarize your objections to the advice—not to the poster—in a post titled "What I dislike about method X", with no personal attacks, and to link back to that post when you feel it's important to raise those issues. 11 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

I must say it is strange how some are able to start a heated and nasty discussion from a perfectly legitimate and reasonable question like the OPs. I was going to give my views on this, but given the tone of the discussion I decided to abstain. The kind of mud-slinging one sees from time to time in certain threads puts me off and I've reduced my participation in the forum discussions as a result.
Thank you EMK for sending a clear message which everyone should take note of. 6 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Ok, a very general reply: the OP wrote: " I would like to know how you guys maintain a few languages working full-time five times a week. Please, also consider that I do not live in an environment where people speak any of those languages above." Taking the first sentence into consideration I would find it perfectly understandable and also recommendable to focus on few languages for the time being, and only later, when these languages have reached the status of "stable and self-sustaining", add more workload. Only the original poster can know what he himself considers stable enough and when it is time to add new languages. As he explicitly states that he does not live in a real life immersion situation, I don't think any experience from a basically multi-lingual country is helpful, the situations are not comparable. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

@Serpent,
I'm still quite curious about the fact of studying related languages. In a positive way! But I'm going to open a new thread for that. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
