I am looking to follow in your footsteps and learn Dutch. I need your wisdom in these trying times so I can learn under the one and only Thiago. Thiago, my friend. I am afraid we are growing desperate here. If you are unable to provide an update on your progress with Dutch, we will have no choice but to lose faith all together. Please, for all language learners alike — enlighten us.
Is Dutch really this difficult to learn? Please do not be the barrier between me and learning Dutch, Thiago. I do not wish this path for anybody. I lost my job, got divorced and had to relocate to the Netherlands as no one understood me, not even my dog Max! Thiago, I had considered embarking on a new venture. And for a time I believed that to be learning Dutch.
Please, I will not be able to move on with my life until I know how you fared with the learning of the Dutch language. Due to Thiago evidently being consumed by the Dutch language and forgetting all English, I have made the noble journey to learn a language that is almost the same yet not all consuming— Afrikaans. I will attempt to make first contact by begging and pleading with him in this language to give us a sign of his Dutch progress. Hopefully he will be able to understand….
Thiago, ek kan nie Dutch praat nie maar ek kan Afrikaans praat wat amper dieselfde is. Omdat jy nie meer Engels kan praat nie, ek hoop jy kan my Afrikaans verstaan. I think you need a welfare check. We are all very concerned. How did this article suddenly turn to be about finding Thiago.
Anyways July 22nd , any sign of that Thiago? Thiago I have been unable to sleep for weeks as I have been refreshing this page to see how your Dutch is going, my wife is considering divorce thanks a lot. I need to know. Have you learned Dutch yet? Cause in the article it just said it would only take 23 weeks. Your brother, Chiago p. Thiago, we need to know how the Dutch is going. I thought it was only supposed to take 23 weeks. Is it really this tough?
Should I learn Greek instead, as I am starting to? We miss you here in Chicago. Guys, we have been looking at this all wrong. Thiago has been reading this comment section for years shaking his head. Dear Thiago… Minutes turn to hours…to days…to years. Many of days I find myself in hopeless misery as my faith for seeing the good news of your bilingual journey withers away.
September 3, Do you remember that date? That day I found myself in a peak of motivation when I saw the message. All that was need was a catalyst, a progress update from the great Thiago. I imagine Finnish would be similar. A month for each A1 and A2 if you work on it for 10 hours a day Monday-Friday.
Considering the differences in english and finnish, i would say maybe months to achieve b1, assuming you devote or more hours a day. This is just a guess based off what i read online.
To achieve fluency, maybe years? It depends on how you learn the language. Only using Duo and another service will not work. You have to diversify, and probably take some classes irl or online. So you are saying that roughly to hours of study or more will be enough to reach B1 in Finnish? I very much doubt it. To reach B1 you don't just have to be able to read Finnish but work in it - ie you do not translate to English but complete exercises in Finnish with Finnish.
You also need to be able to have simple conversations and complete oral comprehension exercises. So you need access to a native speaker who will simplify things for you. I bought the first book for german learners dunno if I am allowed to say the name, mainly it is described with 1, 2, 3 named in Finnish ;-. I got through the first book in March , which should get me the A2-level.
Since March I am learning vocab from the second book B1 , now I have recently finished lesson 2 vocabulary. Every day I spend hours of learning with my vocabulary box, sometimes I don't learn at all. I learned a lot of words, which was important in the beginning. I used to do this and consciously try to remember some key words to use later on. Having conversations with Finns is also good — ask them to correct your sentences.
I have a little boy. We learn together. The language is usually easy to understand, and the books are not too long. I bought it at a flea market because I loved the illustrations. Then I found that the text is very useful in everyday life. The text consists of simple, useful words. The dialogues are simple but emotional, which helps teach you different ways to say things. Florian from Germany: The Suomen mestari Finnish champion series forms an all-Finnish study book for people who are learning Finnish from scratch, and for people who know some Finnish and want to improve.
Chapters revolve around certain topics, and grammar concepts are fortified by numerous writing, speaking and listening tasks. The lessons and related exercises feature a lot of illustrations, which is really helpful. Getting comfortable with spoken Finnish is a challenge in its own right.
