Anonymous asked: I also have a question. I'm not sure whether it's been asked before, but I would like to know what you are majoring in? And i know there are many of you, so any of you feel free to answer. I plan to go into translation in government, which can be very strenuous, but it seems like the job for me!

mistow reblogged your photo: No, it’s really not. Stop saying that. [submitted… Well I think it is… most of the time… and I AM german xD But the image that most non-Germans have of the German language is Hitler screaming his speeches out to soldiers, which they get from a lot of WWII movies/historical footage, but they don’t listen to German music or watch German TV or movies, all...

Anonymous asked: How do you manage to concentrate on just a few languages at a time, and stick with them until you're really good at them? When I was about 11 I started grabbing dictionaries and introductory texts to a good 5+ languages, but was so easily distracted by other languages I'm still not fluent in any of them.

theclassician asked: 2 questions: a) as a German student who was never invested in German to begin with, I'm trying to find a vocabulary book, which would show me not only the basic words (animals, objects around the house etc.) but also the plural forms (which most books seem to omit) etc. Any suggestions? and b) any suggestions about how to speed up ones ability to speak a foreign language? I feel that, whilst...

thnks-fr-th-mmrs asked: I'd like to give a tip for the Spanish learner who asked about the moods (guess it might be useful for some other people as well). First: learn the verb forms so when you see one you can distinguish subjunctive mood, preterito perfecto etc. Second: get lots of stuff written in Spanish and highlight the verbs you recognize. Explain why each tense was used, translate where it's needed....

cosmogyros asked: To the person who is confused by Spanish tenses, I have three pieces of advice: 1) read, 2) read, and 3) READ! There is plenty of great literature available in Spanish (as well as plenty of lowbrow literature too, huge sections of the Internet, film subtitles, song lyrics...). By reading as much as possible you will naturally absorb the correct usage and variation of the tenses without even...

Excuse the sarcastic answers to some of those questions. We get a lot of questions we can’t answer and we’re going to start working on a FAQ for ones we get constantly.

hikarisapphire asked: I don't know if you've gotten an ask concerning this before, but here I go. I spent four years learning Spanish, and just a year ago I started learning Italian. Do you guys know of any way to help me not mix the two languages together? Because while the Spanlian sounds normally to everyone else, it bugs me that I keep substituting Spanish words for the actual Italian ones.

What I want to know is, what is a good way to learn German, because I’ve been studying it regularly for almost two years now (by reading,...

Hello dear followers :)
So. Today I was walking around downtown, shopping, having fun, walking around, and at some point I turned into a little random street, and found this bookstore, you know the ones that just sell old and used books. Small place, nothing special, but the owner put a couple of old books in the front window, and I just couldn’t resist so I went in. The place had hundreds of books about anything;...
