Hi there First of all we are dealing with Chinese characters here. It's most probably a name. It could actually be a Japanese name (Japanese use chinese characters in their writing ---> called Kanji in Japanese writing system) 十 means 10 九 means 9 Together 十九 means 19 郎 has the meaning of gentleman/young man/husband. It is also an official title in imperial times. It can mean "minister" or "official". It is also used in forming nouns designating certain classes of persons. Or it can just simply be a surname as well. So it could mean something like "The nineteenth official/minister or maybe just be a proper name or it could be standing for the 19th son of a family.

welcome!

hey Vrysius Welcome to Linguaholic! We are happy to have you here. We likve verbose people :=)

Great work. Thanks a lot OratorLoquens99 for helping out!

Moreover: Diese Jahr habe in München das Oktoberfest besucht und da habe ich einen Mann getroffen. (Wen/was habe ich getroffen? = Akkusativ = einen Mann You could say here that you met "einen Typ(en) getroffen). Er war land und hübsch mit braunem Haar und braunen Augen (mit wem oder was? = Dativ = mit braunem Haar und braunen Augen....what do you mean with "land"? I don't know what you are trying to say here so I did not correct it, but a word like this does not exist) Wir haben uns in einem Bierzelt getroffen. Sein Name ist Matthias und er ist 2 Jahre älter als ich Er ist wirklich lässig und lebhaft (That's ok). Wir haben uns auch über seine Arbeit als Feuerwehrmann unterhalten. Er hat zu seiner Arbeit etwas Spannendes gesagt. Es war wunderbar und ich habe eine schöne Zeit gehabt. (wen/was habe ich verbracht? = Akkusativ = eine schöne Zeit) Am nächsten Morgen haben wir unsere Handynummern ausgetauscht und er hat versprochen mich anzurufen.

Thanks a lot for helping out Armitur! I would like to add the following to your corrections: He was wearing jeans with white shirt and a grey jacket ----> Er hat Jeans kombiniert mit einem weißen Shirt (T-Shirt) und einer grauen Jacke getragen
 Wir haben um seine Leben in Berlin gesprochen ---> Wir haben über sein Leben in Berlin gesprochen.
 (as Armitur already pointed out) Wir haben auch über seine Arbeit gesprochen. 
 Er hat eine große Familie mit 4 Brüdern. 
 Wir haben die ganze Nacht geredet (that's ok).
 Typ for guy is acceptable but it depends on the context. "Typ" is a little bit derrogative usually.

klar. Gibst du mir einfach Bescheid. LG

welcome to linguaholic, estellaona Funnily enough, I am also living in Beijing:=) and therefore I am also studying Chinese. So maybe in the future we could give each other a hand with our Chinese texts. However, you might be looking for a Chinese native speaker right? If not necessarily, please let me know. regards Lingua

In fact we got lots of great content on here and lots of people visiting. The problem is just that not many people are willing to contribute :=) hope that will change in the future (again). regards

Hallo Armitur Freut mich sehr, dass du mein Forum gefunden hast. Falls ich Dir beim Deutsch lernen weiterhelfen kann, gib mir einfach Bescheid. Beste Grüße Lingua

welcome Armitur. I hope you are enjoying yourself here! Best, L

Hey there. Welcome to linguaholic.com Hallo Helena! Wir sind jetzt in Thailand. Wir baden jeden Tag und abends gehen wir manchmal in die Stadt. (You can stick to present tense here as you are mentioning in the beginning as you are thailand right now). Wir haben auch einen grossen Tempel besucht und Ich habe viel fotografiert. Vielleicht kann ich dir dann die Bilder zeigen, sobald ich nach Hause gekommen bin. Wir haben wirklich tolles Wetter! Die Sonne scheint und der Himmel ist wolkenlos. Das Meer is so herrlich! Die Leute hier sind sehr freundlich und ich liebe das Leben hier. Hoffentlich sehen wir uns bald! Dein Freund. ----> (little bit weird). Better say something like "Liebe Grüsse or Bis Bald" oh yes and cloud is "bewölkt", so for instance. "Der Himmel ist bewölkt".

Thanks a lot ginepro_z!!!

Or maybe you would like to learn German fast. Then this girl here reveals her story on how to learn the language as fast as possible: You can find her videos on the Youtube Channel: linguamarina. She has over 144.000 subscribers. Seems to be pretty promising after all. So why not give her and her videos a try? This might be maybe exactly what you need.

For all the people that want to learn German online, there are tons of good videos on Youtube, really. Let me name some other good Youtubers that help you learn german with youtube: Learn German with the lovely German Girl Ania. The first 50 lessons (as stated in the video) are even free. Or maybe you prefer some other kind of approach. If you want to study German mainly with dialogs, please have a look here:

There are a lot of Spanish shows on Netflix. I am willing to share some favorites with you: NARCOS The TV Series Narcos is a US crime drama created and produced by Chris Brancato, Carlo Bernard, and Doug Miro. The first season has 10 episodes. And the Show has been published as a Netflix exclusive. Plot of the Series: Narcos is set and filmed in Colombia, Seasons 1 and 2 tell the story of the world famous drug kingpin Pablo Escobar, who became a billionaire through the production and distribution of the drug cocaine. The show is also focusing on Escobar's interactions with drug lords, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents, and various opposition entities. Season 3 of the series picks up after the fall of Escobar and continues to follow the DEA as they go up against the rise of the infamous Cali Cartel. LOS TIEMPOS DE PABLO ESCOBAR (TV MINI Series, 2012) Oh, Pablo Escobar again? Yes. As we started the list of with Narcos, let's add another Pablo Escobar related TV Series, for all those (like me), who can never get enough of films about drug lords and their dirty business. Plot: Los Tiempos de Pablo Escobar will bring to you a complete journalistic document that reveals never before seen shocking images and testimonials from people who show how the barbaric acts of the drug lord Pablo Escobar managed to subdue a nation, and how his legacy continues to affect the world today. So if you would like to get some even more realistic footage and facts about Pablo Escobar, you might want to see this "tv show" instead of NARCOS. INGOBERNABLE (2017-) Well, what about some more recent shows. Let's move to Ingobernable then. This is a TV Show from 2017. Plot: The Mexican political drama TV Series that is starring Kate Del Castillo premiered on Netflix on 24 March 2017. The actor Kate Del Castillo plays the fictional First Lady of Mexico. Moreover, Emilia Urquiza plays the fictional President of Mexico, Diego Nava. The presidential strive for internal peace in their country, but unforeseen challenges emerge and make this very difficult, and a major scandal begins to unfold. The actors Jaziz, Valentini, Ibarra, and Guerrero round out the cast playing the couple's daughter and son, the president's chief of staff, and the Secretary of the Interior, respectively. There is only one season online up to this day, but a second season has been announced for 2018.
