• 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?

    Castform did a good work, and he deserves some holidays. I'll just throw out some more general criticisms and such. You don't really say 'au quelques pays' like that, translated literally it'd sound something like 'my favourite holidays are when I go to those few countries'. Unless that was...

    My problem is that I've actually never had to consciously learn a language, so it's kind of a pain in the ass to have to learn to learn ;__; my mother is Portuguese and my dad is Dutch so I always spoke those, I picked up French naturally since I live in Brussels and I somehow just figured out...

    Yeah, after I made the post I thought 'dang what if his teachers were all girls' but didn't bother going back to change it :( though there was a tiny mistake there as well since you used the singular form 'française' instead of the plural 'françaises'. I'm not sure what I was thinking while...

    I TOOK THE LIBERTY OF CORRECTING SOME STUFF THAT SOUNDED WONKY (sometimes just wrong and sometimes grammatically okay but not very natural-sounding), IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO I'LL STOP. I've lived in Brussels all my life and I don't have any noticeable foreign interferences in my accent, so I'd...

    In Portugal, iirc wrench is chave de fendas, which means... er. Crack key? Crack as in a crack in the pavement ok Zelador is a word I've never heard, but 'ter zelo' means being assiduous and stuff. Maybe it's a Brazilian word though? I like 'trengo/a', which is a word from Porto that means...

    speak four languages fluently, have not a single clue of the names of any tense or how to conjugate anything yet still make no mistakes while speaking and writing feels good man I have a feeling my usual strategy won't work with Russian though.

    Shamefully I am still in the same place linguistically :( Fluent in Portuguese, English, French and Dutch. Learning Russian. When fluent in Russian, plan to learn German because it should be fairly easy. Either that or a Scandinavian language. Then I'm done.

    iirc there were at least three other Portuguese-speakers, but I think they were from Portugal? I am, anyway :v Visited Brazil twice though, nice country.

    Well, it's a bit confusing for me, but my mother's Portuguese, my dad's Dutch and I live in the French part of Belgium so I'm fluent in all of those. I can write French and Dutch decently but I make mistakes because I can't really be bothered. My parents spoke English with each other so I picked...
