Hi Giulia, welcome! I agree with Iversen, you're not that lazy ;) I'm mesmerized by your comment in danish, because it is so damned similar to norwegian that I understodd a good part even if I never studied danish and I'm studying norwegian from few days! By the way, interesting choice, how comes that an Italian girl studies danish? In ogni caso, complimenti ;) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I know! Sometimes I happen upon Swedish or Norwegian texts and it takes me a bit to notice it's not Danish! As to why I chose Danish, it was very coincidental. I had to choose another course in uni because I had enough credits, decided to take on a new language, found the ones that didn't clash with my other lectures and chose between them. I'd had some pleasant experiences meeting Danes before and the idea of studying a less 'mainstream' language tickled me, so, here I am speaking a bit of Danish :) Edit: just registered for a half super challenge in Russian, with the option to attempt a half one for Spanish as well. We'll see how that goes! Edited by Mrs. Dalloway on 03 May 2014 at 4:17am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

DA: Jeg kunne ikke læse meget for nylig, fordi jeg læser mest af alle for mine
eksamener. Men heldigvis skal jeg være færdig i to uge, og så kan jeg fokusere om mine elskede sprog! I have not been able to study as much as I would have wanted due, as I'm revising for my end of year exams. I will be done in about two weeks and then I can focus on my beloved languages! ES. Por ahora he solamente visto algunos dibujos animados y series de tv en ruso por el Super Challenge. Es un poco dificil por migo, ver la tv rusa, porqué muchas series tienen representaciones de los roles de género qui son muy problemáticas, sino total racismo. Deberìa ser acostumbrada a ese, si piensas que son en todas partes en la televisiòn Italiana. So far, I have only watched a few cartoons and tv shows in Russian for the Super Challenge. It's quite hard for me to watch Russian tv, as most shows present very problematic representations of gender roles, if not outright racism. You'd think I'd be used to them, as they are pervasive of Italian tv as well. FR. J'ai un rendez-vous avec mon amie demain, nous allons faire un examen général pour voir à quel point on se dévrait désesperer. Mais j'ai étudié beacoup toute l'année, je dévrais obtenir une bonne note. I'm meeting with my friend tomorrow to have a general revision session, just to see when we should start to feel despair. I've studied a lot the whole year, though, I should get a good grade. RU. я буду возврашаться домой в конце мая. буду читать все мои бедные книги, которые ждут меня дома! а прежде всего, мне очень хочется играть на “Гитар Хиро“ у моего дядя! I'm going back home at the end of May. I will read all my poor books, waiting for me home! But first of all, I really want to play Guitar Hero at my uncle's! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

DA. I dag havde jeg min anden eksamen, på antropologi. Den gik temmelig godt, jeg tror.
Endelig er der kun en mere og så skal jeg rejse hjeeeem! Today I had my second exam, in anthropology. It went quite well, I think. So finally I'm left with one last exam and then I can go homeeee! FR. Je suis en train d'étudier un peu de linguistique maintenant. J'ai pu seulement étudier du vocabulaire avec Memrise ajourd'hui, parce que je suis étée très occupée. J'ai aussi decidé que je vais à étudier le turque dans l'été. I'm studying some linguistics now. I've only been able to study some generic vocab on memrise today, as I've been really busy. I've also decided that I will study Turkish this summer. DE. Meine Freundin wird aus ein Jahr in der Türkei zurückkommen und ich hoffe, sie wird mir helfen. My friend will come back from Turkey and I hope that she will help me. Man, have I forgotten my German! I will be able to focus on languages as soon as I'm done with exams. I can't wait! All I can sneak in right now is some Old English ;) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Just a quick note, in French (unlike Italian) "être" forms its past with "avoir" and not "être" (j'ai été). There's also no "à" after "aller" when saying "going to" (je vais étudier) :)
1. I don't think it's common to separate the participle: "solamente he visto" 2. You should use "para" here (para el Super Challenge) 3. The -igo forms (-migo, -tigo) are only used with con: conmigo, contigo. Here you have two options: "Me es un poco dificil" or "Es un poco difícil para mí" 4. "Por qué" is "why", "porque" (no tilde) means because. 5. This should be "que". In Spanish there's no difference when "que" acts as a subject or an object, it's always "que". 6. I'd write this as "si no completamente racistas (¿sexistas?)" I'm not sure why sexist gender roles would be considered racist, though. ;) 7. This should be "estar acostumbrada a eso". Ser + past participle tends to suggest that something was done to you, kinda like using the third person plural (fui vista/me vieron). 8. Again, it should be "estar" here: "están en/por todas partes" Espero que tengas algún tiempito libre para dedicar a tus idiomas pronto :) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Thank you! I have neglected my languages so much during this first year of uni, my
grammar is all over the place *sigh* I will definitely start strengthening them all and start to actually study Spanish grammar ;p 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

No problem :) I think you've got a good grasp on a wide range of languages, so i can only be a bit envious of you. But if you do decide to pick up Spanish, i'll be sure to stop by and try to push you along!
Te deseo mucho éxito en todos tus idiomas :) 1 person has voted this message useful |
