Estudiaré cincos otros *subjects* :redface:

Physics, Chemistry, French, Geography and Further Maths, don't want to risk another :frown:

'Subject' en español es 'la asignatura/las asignaturas'. ¡Hombre! ¿Ya tú estudias cinco asignaturas? ¡Debes estar muy ocupado! Sí. Otra asignatura sería demasiado, y no serías tiempo libre.

Thanks for the tip. I tried using the Alt-codes but switched to AltGr because there's less to remember. (I'm pretty lazy.) :wink:

Haha, I never knew you could use the Alt Gr button...thanks! :colondollar:

Ojalá mi colegio pudiera offrir más idiomas como el italiano y el portugués porque sería tan interesante poder estudiar y aprender el chino por ejemplo. Vivía en Hong Kong cuando tenía menos años(0-3) y de vez en cuando me da rabia de que no más vivo allá, fue una oportunidad genial! :mob:

And my Latin composition sucks, not even going to bother trying!

Ah vivías en Hong Kong? Te gustaba la ciudad? O quizá no te acuerdas de nada porque ya ha pasado tanto tiempo? Eres chino/a?

Hehe Like I said I've forgotten everything; I don't even know if that sentence was correct. :tongue:

You speak... Spanish, I'll try and reply:

Estudiaré (el) francés * l'année prochaine (sorry, I don't know next year in Spanish :colondollar:

) el año próximopero no estudiaré español ni italiano ni alemán :mmm:

In a negative sentence, you cannot use o but ni. Kinda like how we use neither nor.

Someone help me understand the subjunctive please....if never sure when to use it :confused:

Just don't worry about it yet!

And considering that I generally advocate learning grammar in depth from day one, my admonition to forget about it is doubly significant!

Desafortunadamente, no me me acuerdo de la mayoría, excepto 'The Peak' y la funiculaire y las tiendas claro! Sin embargo, mi padre todavía vive en Hong Kong para ganar dinero. No soy chino, soy inglés. Eres chino/a?

Don't forget that Spanish also uses diaeresis on Us too (ü). Even my Spanish lecturer at uni forgot to teach us it, she claimed Spanish only used acute accents too :tongue:

Diaeresis? Is it not just an umlaut?

Oh of course, but honestly, how often do you use it? :rolleyes:

I wouldn't have learnt it if our teacher hadn't taught us the word piragüismo.

Also "bilingüe" - appropriate considering the thread :wink:

Oh, I didn't know it was German - I just assumed that was what it was called! You learn a new thing every day!

How I wish I could actually speak Dutch fluently...Only way I could stand a chance of getting a top grade in that very tough community-language A-level.

Maar opgeven, zal ik nooit!

Blah. I've just been studying Spanish for an hour and now I'm studying German. Always when I switch from one language to the other, the previous one keeps popping into my head. "Die Frau bebe Wasser." Haha, NO!

) yet find the dictionarys so much easier to use..

..where abouts in denmark do you live? My mum lived there for about 10 years or so

20km from central Copenhagen. :smile:

Where did your mum live? And how come she lived in Denmark?

Thanks to you! as far as I can see the first example can be translated literally?

I'm not sure about that. It looks to me like it means something specific, which the translation given doesn't, really. Unfortunately I don't quite know what it means if that is the case.

The second I would assume is 'if it weren't/wasn't for you...', as in (for example) 'if it wasn't for you, I'd be totally lost right now'.
