Hello guys and girls.
I found this forum yesterday, because I looked for a chance to find other polyglots. There is not much to say about my person, just ask if you want to know anything. Well, my name is Tomas, I am 18 years old, language addicted and I live in Slovenia, a former Yugoslav country. My city is called Ljubljana and my favourit language is German. To be honest, I don't know how I learned all those languages, but I hope I can help you in some way. Feel free to ask me if you are interested in something. I would like to write in other languages besides English, just write in one of my languages. PS: Notice that I made an mistake in my username. I missed an e, it would be great if an admin could add it. Tomas Slovenia Edited by SlavicResistanc on 25 August 2008 at 1:27pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

...I am in awe of your awesomeness. I'd welcome you to the forum, but you are the forum.
DAYAM, Icelandic, Hebrew, Italian, German, Spanish, and Dutch are all on my hitlist. TEACH ME. Also, how was Romanian? Sound nice or is it harsher than French? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Well, what do you want to know, or how could I help you?
Romanian is a nice language, I wanted to learn it after I heard some nice songs in that language on Youtube. I don't want to learn French, because I never liked it. The sound of French was never made for me. I have chosen German instead of French in school. It was a good decision, German is the language I like at most. I need to add that my knowledge of Icelandic is very small, im still learning it during the lack of material.

Welcome, and wow.
What level do you 'speak' all your languages? Obviously your English isn't too bad. But the others? Thom. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Now I write something about each of the languages:
Slovenian - Native Language...nothing to say... English - As you all saw...not too bad. German - People told me that they thought I was German when they heard me talking. Italian - Its ok...little bit rusty but I work on it Spanish - I still have some problems, won't say I am fluent, but I am good. Dutch - Its like my German, but I haven't had many chances to speak in it in the past. Hebrew - I can't write or read it, but I am well in speaking. I love Hebrew music. Romanian - Its ok...I often use Spanish or Italian words because of mistakes. Macedonian - Yea well...people knowed that I am a foreigner when I went to Skopje in 2007 - Serbo-Croatian - You will notice my Slovenian accent Danish - I make a lot of mistakes Still working on: Icelandic - Just started a week ago on Mandarin - Just started 2 weeks ago Indonesian - Did not make anything for it since ages. Turkish - I forgot the most I learned unfortunately. Need to fresh it up as fast as I can come to Germany to visit my cousin. Hindi - People would laugh about me... Japanese - Just flirting with it. People, feel free to test me in my target languages, I will respond in one of this languages or translate one to English. Just ask me! I am waiting.

Congratulations on your hard work.. I really respect you for that
But please bear in mind that the past tense of "know" is "knew" not "knowed". In fact, "Yea well...people knowed that I am a foreigner when I went to Skopje in 2007" would be better phrased as "people KNEW that I WAS a foreigner when I went to..." And, "I can't write or read it, but I am GOOD in speaking." Also, it might be interesting for you to read the forum descriptions on different language skill levels. Many forum members have different definitions of the term "fluecy" but I think the consensus of the forum is that you reach "Basic fluecy" (and therefore can "speak" the language) when you can read newspapers and novels without the help of a dictionary and hold prolonged conversations on difficult not-so-everyday topics without circumlocution. But hey, I could use some extra help with German.. ;) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

"Good at speaking" not "in".
I'd say fluency is if you can continue a conversation, understandably, without needing to stop, or ask for help. No matter the errors. Ok, seriously, do you have any good online dictionaries? 'Cos my main form of interlingual communication is fora. Did you, at no point during your linguistic adventure, consider doing Hungarian? The only one of your neighbours whose language you don't yet speak? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thanks for your posting, Jiwon.
Well, everybody makes mistakes, I even make them in my mother tongue. Its common. Besides, I did not checked my post before I sent it. Although I apologize for the mistakes. Wie kann ich dir mit Deutsch helfen? Btw...Fluency is for me, when you can hold a conversation about several topics in that target language. Simple errors are allowed, nobody can be perfect in every language he speaks. Most of the time I used FS1-languages courses, LiveMocha online. Another great way is through music and videos, especially for the pronouncation. There are two languages I never want to learn: French and Hungarian. I know Hungary is our neighbour country, but I don't like the language. My father went to a Hungarian school in Murska Sobota (at the boarder) so he speaks Hungarian. I heard the language often and I don't like it. 1 person has voted this message useful |
