Olouths Off Topic Language Aid for Harry and Others
-
I just saw that Harry needed some help with his german… And, since I am taking spanish next semester... I figured I would do us both a favour and seek the help of the community to improve RL situations a little.
Thus I present The Off Topic Language Aid.
Build in two easy parts... One, you know a language and can waste an hour or so a week with questions from your fellow playersAnd Two, you have a language problem of which you need some assistance with.
In short, Harry, ill love to help you with your german. I am not -that- advanced in it, but I know my way around it.
And if anyone can help a bit with some spanish from time to time, it would be emensely appreciated.

I speak spanish fluently <_<

I think you should start with english, Olouth.
-
^ That being said, for the players who know English as a second language, I'm a bit of a grammar/vocabulary Nazi. If you need English help, send me a tell.

Someone needs to stuff a large, smelly, and slightly moist, sock into their mouth and start chewing on it.
-
Well then get to it, you kinky little danish man.
-
Native German speaker here if anyone needs some help.
-
I approve of any help anyone offers. I'll be buying my materials at the end of this month or early February. If I can convince my wife that it's worth it, I'll be taking the distance course from the Goethe Institut, even if the pricetag is a bit out there. I'll holler at you (and Snakes and thorkm!) once I get started and my inevitable questions pop up.
-
Fluent in Klingon, but, unable to help since this writing thingy you got here doesn't support the language.
-
There won't be much demand for this but I'm a native Dutch speaker.
I don't think I'd have trouble reading English, German or even French, so I could be of help with that, although there's probably better choices (i.e. native speakers)
I don't have a specific language I'm actively looking for help with; of course I'd be happy for any mistakes I make to be pointed out, and it would be interesting to follow others' questions/answers.
@Vrugor:

AFAIK you can just use regular Latin letters for Klingon, just like you'd use Roumaji for Japanese or pin1yin1 for Mandarin.

I watched an animal planet episode on hedgehogs as pets. I now want one. Thanks a lot, WABZ! :twisted:

I'm guessing you considered this, but have you thought of Rosetta Stone? A LOT of times you can pick up a free copy (for borrowing purposes) from your local county library, and the State Department and military Comm squadrons SWEAR by this product.

There is no comma between moist and sock.

^
You also spelled "moist" as "most."

ur all ridiculus

You're all ridiculous.
And with that if anyone know Italian I wouldn't mind picking up a few every day sayings

I suspect you're at high risk of misinterpreting a Japanese sentence written in romaji (or maybe even in kana). Pinyin definitely will mislead you, even with the tone marks and word seperations.
French native speaker here, which means I'm probably hopeless at explaining grammar to anyone. I wouldn't even try giving hints on the other languages I did learn. -

Something like:
"una mela al giorno leva il medico di torno""Bacco, tabacco e Venere riducono l'uomo in cenere"
or something like:
"Un cappuccino tiepido e con tanta schiuma, con una brioche, per favore!"
-
speaking of tabacco I need a cig. The army gives soldiers free full Rosetta Stone courses so I think I'm finally going to pick up German or I'll go Arabic since I'm already going to be there >.>

I'm pretty poor with Canadian French Grammar, (Much different from Europe-French) If any French Canadians are out there willing to help over IRC i'd love it.
