Warm Welcome Mojave!

Hey Gerie I am also having some trouble when speaking French. Especially now that I am also studying and speaking Chinese quite often. It seems like the "data" is saved at the same location in my brain and so when speaking French, always some Chinese words come to my mind:)

Hey there. I don't really have the time to translate this for you into French. However, I am wondering if you are aware of DeepL ? This is a pretty new translation service and it does an incredible job at translating. You might want to check it out, so that you can get at least a nice raw translation. Just copy the text, put it into deep L and the translation will be there within seconds. The results are often pretty incredible and usually on another level than those you get from Google Translate.

Hey Pearl Thanks for your answer! Yes, I think that setting all the devices to the foreign language that you are actually studying can help quite a bit. I do that, too. Duolingo is fine. You might also want to have a look at Memrise and Mondly. I kinda like Memrise. I am not very fond of Mondly, though.

Hey Pearl It's nice having you here. I am a German native speaker so if you should have any questions about German, please go forward. Best, Lingua

What is exactly your question, ty6?

Welcome, Luca. Really nice to have you here!

Welcome, SnowFox! Very nice to meet you! Please let me know if you have a question about German. I will be glad to help out! Best, L

Die Technologien der „Smarten Welt“ – wie etwa Roboter – sind nur dann von Vorteil, wenn Sie den Menschen glücklicher, aber nicht fauler machen. Denn faul genug sind wir bereits.

very interesting! thanks Felix!

wow, that's interesting. I love threads like this one. But unfortunately, I can't help here. Good luck with it! Hopefully, someone else here can contribute!

hahaha. funny story!

if yes, maybe this here could be of some help to you. https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=85 It's not an official GSCE forum, however, it might contain useful information about that topic.

you mean GSCE?

Very interesting, Mats! Whenever I see a Finnish text, I feel like the words look so funny. Lots of consonants put together to form some weird words :=) and then there are those ä, ü and other umlauts. The words indeed seem pretty long. but with the example you gave, I can see that might be not much of a problem. Moreover, German (my mother tongue) also contains some really long words.

so you are going to have lots of fun with Finnish, as it comes with lots of cases, right? :=)

Hey Mats I have never really tried to study Finnish so far. but it looks like an interesting language. When I was younger, we always went to Finland for holidays. That was lots of fun and we picked up a few words here and there. Like Maito for Milk, motoori for motor and a couple of others. That is unfortunately not enough to make a conversation, though. I know that Swedish and Finnish are completely unrelated languages. So how is it going with your Finnish studies? Do you find it difficult? Best, L

Hey Mimisings! Welcome to the forum. Hope you will have a great time here! Best, L

Welcome, Tautvydas! Hope you have a great time here!

no worries Adian. Welcome! Studying foreign languages is indeed cool, agreed :=)

that's an interesting project. In fact, we once had a list here on linguaholic where you could see the Onomatopoeia for animal sounds in different languages. That was fun.

great advice!
