Eli Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 I love Swedish too. So I attempted to learn it once... didn't work And oh my god Eli, I remember watching those shows in German when I was in germany Hehe, yeah they used to air here all the time when I was younger (when there still was good children's programs on NRK and TV2, and not all that new "everything-is-so-super-duper-mega-fantastic-let's-sing-and-dance-about-it-in-our-brightly-coloured-costumes-crap (Okay, now I feel old)) and I think I have them all on video tapes somewhere . I think the title of the shows were translated to Norwegian, and they were subtitles in Norwegian, but the languages are very similar (at least I think so) so I didn't really read them (plus, at first I was too young to read) and I guess I learned a lot of Swedish from that. I think Danish is easier to write though. Danish is very similar to Norwegian Bokmål (which is my... what the hell do you even call it? First written language? Anyway, I prefer to write Bokmål, but I can write half-decent Nynorsk as well) so I have no problem reading or writing Danish, but I think it's very hard to understand it when it's spoken, and I definitely can't speak it correctly! I think Swedish is easy to read as well, but not as easy to write correctly (probably because I grew up so close to the border, and I tend to mix and confuse my dialect with Swedish and then throw in some Nynorsk as well). Way easier to understand when it's spoken though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I wish I had found this thread earlier! The other day, I was writing a story where one of the characters spoke Italian, and I don't speak one word of Italian! I managed to figure it out by myself though. Parlo io l'italiano. Yeah, if you ever need any more help with anything, whispered_envy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquamarine Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Anyone wanna learn Swedish? In that case I'm here for you. Även om du inte vill det! I attempted Swedish once. It didn't look too difficult, but I think what made it hard was my lack of decent Swedish books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzannelgnz Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I can't believe I haven't posted in here before... Ich hab' deutsch seit 2002 studiert, zuerst in die Schule und jetzt an die Uni.Ich hab' in Deutschland für 3 monaten gewohnt so naturlich meine sprachkentnisse ist schon besser wie, was ich screibe. Wenn du ein bisschen hilfe möchtet, dann ich bin deine mädchen I also learned Japanese for 5 years, I did an Italian paper at uni last year, and I have learned bits and pieces of Dutch from my Mum's cousins who have crashed at our place for a night or 2 when they were over this side of the world. Em- I was seriously considering going to do a semesters study at Uppsalla university, so I would love to learn a Scandinavian language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Mi piace molto l'italiano in generale, ma adesso lo odio perché devo studiare per tanti esami ed è molto noioso, specialmente quando c'è il sole di fuori...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Ik ben Nederlands aan't leren. Ik ben niet good goed. Kan iemand mij helpen? (I am learning Dutch. I am not good. Can anyone help me?) Ik kan je helpen. (I can help you) That was pretty good. Weet enige iemand van goeie webwerwe waar ek moontlik Spaans of Frans kan leer? (Afrikaans) I don't speak Afrikaans but I understand quite a few things when I read them as it's a bit similar to Dutch. I don't know if I would be able to understand it if someone was talking to me though. I have never heard Afrikaans so I don't know if pronounciation is very different from spelling.

Cerise Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Ik ben Nederlands leren. Ik ben niet good. Kan iemand mij helpen? (I am learning Dutch. I am not good. Can anyone help me?) LOL if you say it aloud it sounds a lot like the German, just with bad grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
