Have you ever tried to learn a Conlang? (Ancient Post)
Bobcar23 replied to Medza's topic in Conlangs | Discussion
I haven't tried to learn a fictional language but I think if you have a lot of spare time it might be interesting and a different challenge from learning a non-fictional language. -
Studying only 1 language at a time, or multiple one?
Bobcar23 replied to TheStoryteller1's topic in Language Learning
Learning one language is hard enough so I can't think how hard it would be to learn two at a time. I think if you want to learn two languages you should learn them one after the other. -
Do you ever forget some words in your native language?
Bobcar23 replied to Qamra's topic in Language Learning
I definitely forget some of the more confusing words in my native language. Sometimes it's really hard to remember the right word to use especially if you're trying to explain something. -
I would say my top five are: 1. Japanese 2. Italian 3. French 4. Russian 5. German

As a seventeen year old, what book should I read?
Bobcar23 replied to scottman's topic in English Literature
If you like fantasy I would definitely recommend Lord Of The Rings. Another good choice is The Hobbit which is a prequel to Lord Of The Rings and is a lighter read so is good for people not fluent in English. -
There are a lot of uncommon idioms from Australia, for example if you say you're "Up a gum tree" it means that you're in a bit of trouble. Idioms like these aren't actually used in Australia these days so it's very common for people to not have heard of them or understand them.

I think it's just a matter of practice, many native English speakers don't know the difference and usually use the wrong word so I wouldn't stress too much over it.

What are your thoughts on google translate?
Bobcar23 replied to Cutler4Life's topic in Translations (Theory & Practice)
Even if it's usually not completely accurate sometimes I find it useful, it's better than not having a translation program to use and usually it provides a translation I can use. -
Do you over use "LOL" when you write to your friends?
Bobcar23 replied to Jaxter's topic in English Language | Discussion
I don't use it in text messages. I try to use haha as a substitute most of the time as I don't like using lol.
