Oh my gosh!
I've just found this cool thread and decided I have to bring it back to life, hope it will work :)

I will come up with something in Japanese tomorrow, promise.
Maybe I could try to write something in Mandarin, but I would love to have a native speaker correct my text.

Ja, nu kan ik het zien. Het is enorm mooi.

Arabisch kan ik enigzins lezen; ik had een les toen ik in Tunisië was, maar eerlijk gezegd ben ik het weer vergeten. Nee, die talen zal ik zeker niet leren, maar de architectuur, buikdansen en andere dingen van "Arabien" vind ik prachtig. Ik ging een paar jaar lang naar buikdans lessen en was best wel goed daarin. Ik wil een keer terug en verder gaan.


Ik kan hebreeuwse script van de oude testament lezen. Mijn vrouw doet buikdansen en dat vind ik ook prachtig. Zijn familielid is libanese zo wij eten vaak libanese eten en het is heel erg lekker.


Ik kan geen Arabisch of Hebreeuws lezen. Beide talen nooit geleerd. Ik heb zelf ook een cursus buikdansen gedaan en had er veel plezier bij. Helaas kon ik de vervolgcursus buikdansen niet meer meedoen, omdat ik overdag geen tijd meer had.

In French:
Le monde qui va en vitesse
Penchés, se protégeant de la pluie
Un arc-en-ciel ignoré

In Esperanto, similar but trying for alliterations...
Homaro hejmen hastantegas
Klinighantaj kontraupluv'
Chielarko kvazau chagrenig'

Any native speaker: please let me know what mistakes I made.

私は今広い海で一人で船に乗っている。船で 釣りをしていたら急に嵐が来て、何も分から なくなった。きがついたら私だけ船に乗って いた。もう飲む水はない。船に少し入ってき た。遠くに島が見えた! 島まで船で行くこ はできるかな! 船を捨てて、泳いで行かな ればならない。

Translation:
I'm now alone on a boat on a wide ocean. I was fishing on the boat when a storm came up. I lost consciousness. When I came to I was the only one on the boat. I don't have any water left. There's a little bit of water coming in the boat. Far in the distance I can see an island! Can I make it to the island from the boat? I have to discard the boat and swim to the island.

I don't think that makes 50 words but who's counting! Can somebody help me with "boat"? I think "fune" is a ship but I have one dictionary that says it's a boat too. "fune" is not quite a fishing boat is it?

I can't help with the story right now. However, I believe that fune is a small boat like this one . On the other hand this is a big ship. ( Google Images told me. )

( Note: not a paper boat but just a small boat. )

L'uomo giaceva morto. C'era molto sangue sul marciapiede e sulla macchina. Era evidente ciò che era successo. Un poliziotto interrogava il guidatore.
"Non l'ho visto. Il sole mi ha accecato" disse il guidatore.
"Lei non mi può ingannare. Lo so che ce l'aveva con lui."
E il poliziotto lo portò via.

The man lay dead. There was a lot of blood on the sidewalk and on the car. It was evident what had happened. A police officer was interrogating the driver.
"I didn't see him. The sun blinded me" said the driver.
"You can't fool me. I know you had it in for him"
And the officer took him away.

Nice story :)
As far as I remember a fishing boat is 漁船 (ぎょせん). And I've never seen 舟 used in a text, it's always been 船.
Hope this helps somehow.

And I will post my mini-saga soon ;)

Estou voando, ou pelo menos assim parece. Sinto a sensação de um forte vento que em vão tenta impedir a minha queda. Olho para baixo e vejo o chão tão longe, mas sei que o impacto é inevitável. Passam dois minutos, três minutos, quatro minutos, e de repente... uma dor imensa, um instante de suplício. Depois, só escuridão.


I'm flying, or so it seems. I feel the sensation of a strong wind that in vain tries to impede my fall. I look down and see the ground so far away, but I know that the impact is inevitable. Two minutes go by, three minutes, four minutes, and suddenly...immense pain, an instant of torture. Then, only darkness.
