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!
un-domani-migliore asked: i'm not sure if this has been asked but what college major would you recommend for someone who loves languages?

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...

becauseyourecoolerthanme asked: i seriously love your blog! i've been learning french for like 7 years now and still adore it so much, recently started learning italian and would love to start learning spanish but think its going to be all to much, do you suggest i learn a couple at a time or learn them all at the same time?
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.

shinkaishoujo asked: I've been trying to learn Mandarin for a few months now, but I just can't get the tones correct. Any tips?
whynottryitall asked: I’m a native Spanish speaker and I learned English, French and Esperanto with relative ease (even though I’m self-taught), but now that I’ve tried picking up languages like German, learning languages is suddenly not that easy after all. 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,...
idamaja asked: Hei guise - I'm not going into which languages I know or have studied (I really consider myself fluent only in my native Finnish), but I'm interested in helping out any of your followers who are learning Finnish. You know, for example colloquial Finnish which is a completely different language, our fifteen beloved cases... you name it :p
facade-mpreg asked: Hi! I had a quick question for you... teachers have told me time and time again that English is the hardest language to learn. Is that true?
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;...
