Um... I'm taking it it goes from english, some kanji/hangul/other using languages, to German...? With the grammatical structure from a different language?

WHAT DOES THAT SAY?

Whoa. That must've been a brain-wringer to write! I second the call for a translation, too.

Edit: OOOOHHH, "Hopefully this helps." I had to look up "Hoffentlich" as I was utterly convinced it had something to do with "public" (offentlig), like in Swedish.

OK, I guess I am duty bound to explain, even if it will water the whole thing down a bit.

Brief summary: You shouldn't worry about mixing up different languages. Just look at me who never has any trouble keeping them apart. People with such nonsense ideas about non-existent problems don't know what they are saying. Hope this helps. And good luck with it.

That "yinggai" bit is "should" in Mandarin. The other exotic element is "ongelmia" which is Finnish for problems. The rest is a hodge-podge of English, German, Spanish, French, Italian and a couple of Scandinavian words. Grammatical structure ? You tell me. Didn't even think about that.

Now we all just need to put "Pimsleur Europanto I" on the wish list for next Christmas - it's in the works, surely ;o)

Do you have the same problem with your mother tongue? I have, even my Dutch sentences are twisted sometimes :-s


Never! Unfortunately, no other tongue comes close to my level of English.
