[Project] Learning a language? Let's help each other!

[EddyKawabata]

Native language? I'm Swedish. Born in Sweden, lived here all my life, like my country. I know Swedish.

My second language? English. Use it on a daily basis, on the forum, all the games I play, and my friend that comes from England. He moved to Sweden without knowing more than "Hej (hello)" in Swedish. I've taught him Swedish, he taught me English, and I speak it with him quite often. Also take classes in school.

Third language. Took classes in Spanish for 4 years. Don't remember a single thing, won't try either.

Fourth language. Took classes in German for 2 years. Don't remember a single thing, won't try either.


What I really want to learn, and that I'm working on with a friend of mine is Japanese. You see, I love their culture, their country, their laid-back way of living, their cars and such. I'm a Japanese dude born in the wrong body on the wrong place.

Body language also really fascinates me. I love analysing people who talk to me. I can tell when some people lie, bit some are better at it. It's quite difficult though.

I like at staring at well curved bodies. But I think that is not what you mean.

I can't lie to you, so do I. We have a long corridor in my school (300 metres). Today there were two hot girls walking along there, I couldn't help but staring all the way.

You should study a language at university. The majority of the students are females and most of them are 18+. :3

Maybe, got 3 more years in school though, then we'll see.

I wouldn't mind being in Granny's situation he always rubs in our faces, that he's going on a language trip with a couple of girls. Stupid Granny.

(tbh I typo'd at first, faces turned into feces.)

Oh, that reminds me my time at university, beauties everywhere. Never before and never after I've hit so many things (poles, door, etc...) with my head as in the times I were at university. Especially warmer months were filled with such accidends...

Oh, also "Heddlu" and "araf"

Ah, forgot "Dim parcio"

I drive a lot in Wales!

The problem is that you need to hear the language, as the spelling is misleading. The Welsh = English:

dd = th
f = v
w = oow (only sometimes it doesn't)
c is always a hard sound as in "k"
ll is like the scottish "ch" in loch

The welsh spelling for Kevin would probably be Cefin!

Thank you. I'll try to find some Welsh movies or music with subtitles/lyrics...

[Memphiso]

You, cuz you left university and such. You're way of speaking makes u sound like you are at least 30 years old. Not like it matters, I'm just curious.

30 you say??? Well, quite close. 28 actually...

Edit: But I'm crazy enough to feel like 20 (or less)...

[Pitkins]

Actually it's a german plane constructed by a Dutch guy but funded by Germans...

Recently I've decided to learn Spanish iso Portuguese. Though I think Portuguese is more beautiful, I want to study a language that is more useful. So is there anyone here that wants to help me?

[Pitkins]

Study Welsh, that's a real challenge...!!!

[E-Boyz]
