Congratulations, Tarvos!
Nice to see that you reached such a writing level in Hebrew. Hebrew learners usually experience difficulties while trying to compose sentences, but I see that you are doing quite good!
One word that I do want to comment about, and probably save you a future embarassment, is the verb "לגמור". Most of the learning books (at least those that I saw) bring it as the translation of "to finish". While it is absolutely true, in the colloquial language - how shall I put it - this word is being used to describe a finish of a sexual nature :-/ . If one is not familiar enough with the contexts that this word might be used in a proper conversation, better use the verb "לסיים" (lesayem). By the way, in the context that you mentioned it it's alright to use it. Edited by Golan on 07 May 2013 at 7:40pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Ohh yeah, thanks for pointing that out Golan. I meant to point that out myself but I totally forgot.
By the way, Tarvos, I also think it's great you can respond after such a short time of learning! And yes, there were a ton of Dutch people that went there to learn Hebrew. It was very interesting, I wasn't expecting that. They were the third largest nationality in my class, after Americans and Russians of course.

I once witnessed a woman who was learning Hebrew using it in a conversation. I don't even
remember what she was talking about, but I certainly remember the moment of silence that came afterwards... Edited by Golan on 07 May 2013 at 7:47pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

למדת באולפן? I am happy to hear it's not too terrible. Unfortunately I am painfully aware of my limitations in Hebrew :) I have another italki class booked for this Sunday, one hour of Hebrew brain-frying goodness.

@Golan: I've heard the same thing happen haha. A man was talking about a woman and said, "I saw her,
and I finished (my work)." But he didn't say "my work." He was trying to say he saw her, so he stopped what he was doing so they could go somewhere else together. Hardly anyone got why it was funny because they weren't native speakers either. But it was very entertaining for me, haha. @Tarvos כן, למדתי באולפן לפני שנתיים. Good luck with your italki session. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

You made me laugh :)
One of the most common mistakes made by non native speakers - after all, the grammar is correct. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Limba Română
Asta dimineața mai am învățat limba româna cu Assimil în trenul. Am citit și completat doua lecții din carta și am ajuns la lecția patruzeci și cinci. Nu e prea mult pentru mine să scriu românește ca înainte, mă bucur că înțeleg și scriu. Acum caut un magazin în den Haag care vândă mici. Când aveam prietena română, la ea tata și mama pregăteau mici pentru mine pentru zile de petrecere. Îmi place mult micile, dar acum n-i mănânc niciodată pentru că nu mai suntem împreuna. Cum am spus o prietenă după o ședință pentru învăța olandeză, situația avea fost foarte complicată, dar sunt bucur acum. Deutsch Außerdem habe ich auch ein wenig Deutsch gelesen. Gestern sind meine Bücher angekommen (aber nur Spieltrieb und Metaphysique des tubes, aber das letzte Buch ist natürlich auf Französisch). Es fällt mir eigentlich nicht schwer Deutsch zu lesen - es sieht so natürlich aus, wie ein geändertes Holländisch (obwohl das natürlich nicht Wahr ist), doch gibt's nur einige Schwierigkeiten die Geschichte zu folgen, obwohl ich nur fertig bin mit dem erstem Kapitel. עברית "Routledge Course" וגם למדתי עברית. סימתי שלושי שיעורים בספר. Islenska And I added some vocabulary to a newly made Icelandic deck in Anki, but it seems to be an easy language. I am sure that will change. I can't yet write Icelandic so I'll leave it till a bit later. Edited by tarvos on 08 May 2013 at 11:53am 1 person has voted this message useful |
