Come here if you speak another language other than English

[pcharles93]

Oh, another Vietnamese

How come you started with parentheses and ended with quotation marks?

Thanks , I edited

Je peux parler Francais et un petit peu Allemand. Nhưng tiếng Việt vẫn là tiếng mẹ đẻ của mình

(I can speak French and a little bit German. Though Vietnamese still remains my mothertongue"

Showoff. How do you have the patience to add all the proper accent markings for Vietnamese?

Heh, it's one of the rare things that I can show off Vietnamese accent markings aren'ts that bad if you've got a program like Vietkey

I was thinking Vietnamese keyboard filled with every letter with every accent marking, but a program sounds a lot better. I just never picked up on reading Vietnamese but I can understand it better than most who have taken classes.

Deutsch ist nicht meine Muttersprache, aber die Sprache kann ich. Ich glaube es gibt hier wenigstens 5 oder 6 von uns die deutsch sprechen können.

Bei der US Open 2008 habe ich eine Familie kennengelernt, die aus Deutschland gereist sind. Ich habe mit ihnen ein bisschen gesprochen (auf deutsch yay!). Am meistens höre ich nur deutsches Radio im Internet, aber es macht mir mehr spass mit anderen Leuten zu sprechen ;-)

Lemme try, I have absolutely no knowledge on the language but I'm gonna try

Something about German not being your my native tongue (the sentence sounded like "Deutsch is not my mother*something*" if you try to pronounce it an Englishy way, that's where I got the idea), then something I can't make out. Then something about 5 or 6, so my best guess is you're referring to 5 or 6 people on the forum who understand German?

During the US Open, you met a family from Germany (got the hint from US Open, Familie and Deutschland). No idea, but I guess you guys conversed in German and you were happy about it (the entire guess came from "deutsch yay" ). You learned German off the radio or the Internet from a guy called Leuten:confused: (There are German radio channels from where you are?)

Grade me. This is fun

I didn't even have a program when I typed your name (and I still don't), I just installed the language package thingy that comes with Windows, or any other OS for that matter, and then I used the onscreen keyboard Can you imagine how big that keyboard would be with all the accents and stuff? A has 3 variations. E has 2. I has none. O has 3. U has 2. D has 2 (the "z" and the "d"). Then you have 5 more "tone" accents to add. You do the math By the way I learned Vietnamese through reading only, never attended classes

I preferred Vietkey, because it's not revealed in the name, but it can help you putting accents for French, German and Russian !

I don't know about French. But I thought all the "special" characters German has was the "two dots above the head" thingy and the Greek beta thingy? As for Russian, I had the impression that it used a whole different set of letters in the first place, no?

French has the aigu, grave, trema(2 dots), circonflex, and cedille.

Haha, ok my disclaimer first. For those who are actually fluent in German, I apologize upfront for my grammar/punctuation.

Blah, that is pretty much spot on, all except for the last part. At the end I said "Am meistens höre ich nur deutsches Radio im Internet, aber es macht mir mehr spass mit anderen Leuten zu sprechen ;-)" which means roughly:

"Mostly I just listen to German radio on the internet, but I find it more fun to actually speak with people" This sentence was referring to the family I met at US Open who I spoke German with a bit and yes that part you correctly translated the meaning from.

Nice job haha, that was pretty close to what I actually said/meant to say.

Je ne parle pas francais ou anglais.

 

[Johannes91]

Omg, put the English translation in your post. You guys could all be making fun of my mom or something for all I know.

Joo, sun äitis on nössö.

Finnish - native
English - good enough
Swedish - had to study at school, but don't like it and have forgotten almost everything
Thai and Lojban - learning

 

[ThePizzaGuy92]

je ne parle pas le francias... :/

 

[blah]

Thai and Lojban - learning

Lojban is evil. And... Thai?! I can count from 1 to 10, does that count (pun intended)? (helps when Thailand is your neighboring country )

Your German is really good, i almost couldn't find any mistakes and understood everything perfectly .
Just some minor corrections:

"die aus Deutschland gereist sind" has to be "die aus Deutschland angereist ist". That's because one family is singular, so it's "ist" instead of "sind". And if you want to say, that someone travels from a specific location you say "anreisen". "Er ist aus Deutschland angereist".

"Am meistens" should be just "Meistens höre ich ..." if you mean "mostly". "Am meisten" should be correct, too, but currently it sounds odd to me. I don't know why o_O.

btw. I don't want to be offensive with my corrections, i hope they'll help you.

 

[blah]

Haha this is entertaining, I used Google and it gave me this as a translation: Yes, sun äitis is geeky/sissy. Stupid dictionary. Couldn't translate "sun äitis". But how can geeky and sissy be the same word?

Otte sider og endnu ingen der snakker dansk? Okay det er også kun et ganske lille land. Fun fact: dansk blev i en international undersøgelse udpeget som det næst grimmeste sprog i europa! Nu kan jeg bare ikke huske om det var hollands eller polsk der var det grimmeste.

Translation: anyone?

Witam wszystkich. Mam na imie Piotr.

[F.P.]

"Am meistens" should be just "Meinstes höre ich ..." if you mean "mostly". "Am meisten" should be correct, too, but currently it sounds odd to me. I don't know why o_O.

"Meistens", not "meinstes"...typo I guess.

"Am meisten" is more often used at the end of a sentence and not at the beginning...that's why it sounds odd.

Die mag ich am meisten.
Am meisten mag ich die.

ah...Dreck.

Komisches Beispiel übrigens .

"Sinun"(your) is "sun" in spoken Finnish (southern Finland dialect). "Äitis" is "äitisi"(mother in genetive) in book-Finnish. Toimii sentään paremmin noin päin kuin englannista suomeen.

Jag kan bara lite svenska (jag har studierad tre år).

Eu comprendo portugues, mas não falo tão bem.

Jo puedo pedir anillos de cebolla con mi Español.

Je parle Français aussi (je n'ai plus des ideés).

And as you might have noticed I speak English too.

 

[fanwuq]

je ne parle pas le francias... :/

I studied French in school for 4 years and I forgot everything. Could never speak it or write it anyway. I think it's francais with something that looks like 5 under the c.

Studied Latin in 6th grade and forgot everything.

Chinese was my first language. Could write a little and speak, but can't type it.

English is probably my best language. I do live in USA.

You gotta be kidding me. That's easy!

Okay, land, fun fact, international, Europe, bare, Holland.

Put together, that means: Okay, here's a fun fact, Europe is an international land, and Holland is bare. The rest is gibberish put there to confuse people

Okay I know that was lame, but... well I've never seen the letter "i" left alone and uncapitalized before
