I bought a wee book on Italian grammar, what do you think is hard? (haven't read it really, just wanna look out for the harder stuff).(Original post by tess_rach)
How is it only half as difficult as French? German grammar is appalling!! (Although Italian is worse)

Does making users' names bold draw their attention via a notification? -

Nope, I'm generally alright with spoken Portuguese, in the same way I'm okay with (basic) spoken Arabic and Thai, but that won't help me on hereI know phrases of Irish and Scottish Gaelic but again, not helpful. I'll try and pick it up as I go along, or just wait for the rare French/Spanish speakers :')

Lol I think its because I learned the language, unless an extraterrestrial being popped down and rewired my brain so that I would be fluent in danish.
whats your storyDid your family move to Denmark after you were born? Or were you born in Denmark and spoke a different language at home? Just some guesses.
I happened to acquire a Danish boyfriend, and I'm sure you can guess the rest... -

It's not that popular on this thread u knw ^^
There have been a few Dutch learners on this thread but they kind of come and goVionar can write a birthday card
Constantmeowage seems to know Dutch, Ronove knows Danish and German and is familiar with the historic sound shifts which occured in Germanic languages, so she can read it I think
Can you understand written Portuguese?
Er is nog steeds veel te veel te doen, ik kan de taal in deze vakantie niet leren!

I get the bold thing now, that's what I thought it might be, but always cool in case I find something new. -

That's really cool, how did you learn some Thai & Arabic?? Spoken European Portuguese sounds very odd to those who are familiar with Esoañol apparently, it takes an amazing linguist to fully decipher such language
I know Thai because we went Thailand once and for some reason as a family we made this massive effort to try and learn some.
I used to go to Portugal a fair bit when I was a kid so yeah, and it is really weird, the sounds are just completely different
But I picked up nearly all of it from word of mouth so I have no idea how to spell/convey any of it on here -

Seem being very much the operative word in this case!
Er is nog steeds veel te veel te doen, ik kan de taal in deze vakantie niet leren!
No, ¡hay hispanohablantes y hablantes del francés aquí también (pero no puedo prometerte tener mucha fluidez y buena gramática...)! También he tratado de aprender un poco de portugués, ya que hay mucho en común entre el español y el portugués.espero que haja bastante tempo para aprender mais da língua quando no tenha muito trabalho
jaja, continuaré con la gramática dudosa
sí, son similares pero la pronunciación es completamente diferente
yo también, pero actualmente no tengo el tiempo

It has 7 different ways of saying 'the' - il, lo, l', la, i, gli and le! I bought a BBC teach yourself Italian book and CDs from a charity shop yesterday - only £1.99!!
Posted from TSR Mobile
I couldn't find a decent Italian grammar book in any charity shops.I got a book of verbs cheap though and I found a huge PowerPoint and big Word document of all the GCSE vocab needed and I have it on my phone to learn when I wish.
I can send you it if you want?
I was gonna buy a French grammar book too, but I've already covered the tenses and the rest of grammar can be found online and I'll just copy it from there.(as you can guess I'm quite safe with money.

Yeah that's really awkward! (I think I've sussed it, one of the few non-tense grammar topics I've covered). -
