kongdaniel 34 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I know enough to get around! Like Alex tried to explain in French (and he didn't do too badly actually) is that my vocabulary is still limited. Linda sent me a good story book to read from Sweden for my birthday! It's all written in Swedish and I'm working my way through it right now! From my experience, it's never easy! I figure you will understand Norwegian and Danish writing when you get more experienced, that is good for you..good luck understanding danish speaking though haha!I wish you luck in learning swedish, its not a bad language Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeB 1,281 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Je pense je fais pas mal à parler dans langue. Mais j'ai un vocabulaire limité parfois. Ainsi, une conversation détaillée est parfois difficile.Haha does that make sense? It's meant to say "I think I am not bad at speaking the language. But I sometimes have a limited vocabulary. So an in-depth conversation is difficult sometimes." It's been a while and verb tense I sometimes struggle with.Le début est abominable, Frank Ribery n'aurait pas fait mieux. Je pense que je n'ai pas de mal a parler dans cette langue is a little bit betterYour second sentence seems too academical but it's right I am going to search tactical/technical vocabulary in english on the Internet, because I haven't so much football vocaulary...

chrismada9 1,948 Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 I figure you will understand Norwegian and Danish writing when you get more experienced, that is good for you..Absolutely!! That's the real benefit of learning Swedish!! I'll definitely have some time to study Norwegian and Danish writing as well. I already know exactly how to tell them apart if you gave me some text to read good luck understanding danish speaking thoughIf Norwegian is the melodic language, then Danish people are the ones who talk like they have a spud in their throat!

incometax 116 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 English(British and North American), French, and extremely little greek. Next summer im doing an internship and was going to take a language course at night at my university, but the question is which one?I am thinking its between spanish or german. German is hard from what I hear, and spanish is similar to french but I hate speaking french and german just seems so cool to learn and since im in enginnering I figure the germans wouldn't be a bad group of people to associate with.Any suggestions?

Essaie le FM en francais ! Au fait , je voudrais acheter/telecharger le FM en francais , ca sera bien pour mes etude de francais XDDD ( Pardon je ne sais pas l'article devant du mot FM, <le> Football Manager ? XD )btw, I want to know some tactical/technical words in French tooI'm learning French, and I'm going to France for my future studies.I speak English of course, because I was planning about going to study in the UK, but it's too expensive for a Chinese student. Not fluent, but neither my Chinese is XDDDDDDDDDDDDSo Chinese (a.k.a Mandarin), mother tongue.And I'm good at Japanese, especially in listenining ,I also speak a little , but cannot write in Japanese because I know nothing about it's writing grammar.

Though Japan does use four alphabets...Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji and Romaji.Kanji is a bastard to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanjis are Mandarin characters , of course they are hard to read ! so learning Japanese is not difficult for Chinese people haha, our culture are so deeply related.Hiragana and Katakana are real alphabets, Romaji is a method to present kana in western language I think, so we could type Japanese on standard keyboards. そうじゃないか something like this XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grammar is straightforward with few exceptions ,,most verbsare regular and pronunciation simple. In terms of Science and Engineering it probably ranks second in importance after English Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too difficult because of the exceptions ? If you speak English, German may not be any difficult because it's very near, they are Anglo-Saxon tongues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
