Pute. De ce moment-là putain, il ne s'agit qu'un fait qui me servira de putain. Moi, je prends cette place pr moi et tous ce qui pourraient être parmi les gens ...chui peu certain, mais, ben, accorde moi cette place.

Are there any Swahili speakers here? I was in the Peace Corps in Tanzania waaaaay back- 1965-1969, and became fluent. I have attempted to keep some facility in Swahili over the years, but with so few to talk to, my vocabulary and inflections have...

Здравствуйте. Я хотел бы улучшить свой русский язык. Я сейчас говорю Россию лучше, чем крошечные птицы, но хотели бы улучшить дальше. Это трудный язык, но хороший. Может кто поможет?

Je suit tu go raibh an caca millis amigos. Ta na madra agus na vert ciao. Haha agus cul de sac sa bonjour inne

Ah, those dialogues! It's amazing how they stick in one's head! Thirty years on, I still remember them. Last night I checked the mailbox, and a copy of my high school German textbook (first year) was there. Anyone else remember these? Wohin...

I'm just wondering what languages folks here have studied, and how well they speak them. I've formally studied Spanish, French, and Mandarin Chinese. Most of my French and Mandarin are gone but I still retain enough to recognize words here and...

Okay, so you all probably know I'm re-teaching myself Portuguese. Being a really visual learner I actually learn better with modern software than I ever did in a classroom setting. I'm lucky to live in a really portuguese are that, once I get back...

Este hilo existe para mi a practicar mi espanol. Claro, no puedo prevenir otras personas de escribiendo en ingles pero yo preferiria si se usa solo espanol. *Espera para corecciones*

A french rap one first off. 9GBm_ksQKvU Some German rap now. MqsXddjDpd8 and some country of a German persuasion too.

As some of you might know, all mainstream releases of foreign movies in Germany are dubbed. This is not really supposed to be a debate about the desirabilty of this practice. Instead I simply wanted to show you some examples, possibly amusing to...

Ich habe Deutsch in schule fur drei jahre studiert. Mein Deutsch ist schlecht. Ich mochte in Deutschland wohnen.

In school I learned a little French but not much. Since then I have never really used it. I can understand a bit but I can't speak (or write) it. I would love to be able to use it at least in a limited fashion. Do you know any good resources...

Let's talk about non-English poetry. In order to make this thread a little more interesting for those who don't speak the language, we should post readings and translations whenever possible. There are a few German classics that I could post....

This forum is not just for discussions in foreign languages but also those about foreign languages. If you have a question on a language, just start a thread. For questions about the German language feel free to ask me, a native speaker with...

In scola lingua Latina discebam sed principaliter scripta Latina in linguam Germanicam transferebamus. Praeterea dehinc decennium praeteriit. Ergo sententias latinas scribere negotium incredibile difficultate est.

Mais oui! Je parle un peu de francais. J'ai étudé Francais a l'école pour cinq ans mais je ne le parle pas au courant. Je voudrais etre au courant. J'ai visité a Paris quand j'etais un petit garcon. Je voudrais visiter a Paris ou Québec a l'avenir.
