• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Well I never knew that! My conglomerate of schools offers French, Spanish, German, Italian and Mandarin, but I suppose that's quite a sheltered variety. And thanks!

    Thank you so much <3 I got 28/30 - my accent let me down by one mark and my "range of vocabulary" as well because I used the same phrase twice in a paragraph. Meh. It still means that I've got 116/120 overall on the coursework element, with only the 40% for the reading and listening to go at...

    silly me, I meant russian adjectives, which unlike other languages, bear next to no resemblance to their nouns, unless again I'm much mistaken and my russian is too rusty to bear notice to

    I suck *at* speaking English. Hope you don't mind the correction D: Mon prof de français m'a rappelé que j'ai mes examens de français ce juin (une année tôt) - quelque chose que j'ai oublié complètement. Eurgh, je dois me preparer pour un examen dans lequel je dois parler pour cinq minutes. Je...

    Ancient Greek is the most ridiculously cool language that has ever been spoken. If you want me to give you (sort of) lessons, drop me a line via PM :)

    J'ai dû apprendre les accents sur le clavier - je peux les faire maintenant. Normalement c'est un combination de "Alt+02+deux autres numéros", par example, pour écrire "è", on pousserait "Alt+0232". C'est une matière d'experimentation. Les écoles sont vraiment mals avec les cours de français -...

    Quelqu'une a mentionné le français? La langue la plus belle dans le monde entier? Ah, je l'adore, mais je dois arreter et commencer à tenter d'apprendre l'espagnol pour mes examens dans trois semaines.

    The subjunctive in Latin makes sense because there is no conditional mood (that I know of), and it's expressed through the subjunctive, further demonstrating the idea of something that isn't definite. Obviously, in modern Romance languages, the conditional is there, and therefore the subjunctive...

    Ah, je suis d'accord - le français est très beau. Mais il est moins beau que l'italien, la langue d'amour, ou que le latin, la mère de tout ces langues belles.

    Yay! Another Italian learner! I've just finished learning the basic verb grammar (tenses, etc.) and am about to move onto things like the conditional and subjunctive moods.

    I've just started to learn Italian as well, because I'm going on a trip to Italy with school in October. So far, all I can say is 'il quaderno è sul tavolo' and 'sono inglese: sono nato in Inghilterra. Non viaggo molto.', but I hope that if I commit myself, I'll have it done in a few months.

    Fluent in English, proficient in French and Spanish, learning Russian, and can speak tidbits of Greek, Cornish, Chinese, Japanese and Lithuanian (don't ask). I also am proficient in Latin, though that's hardly useful today.
