I'm really sorry, guys. I honestly thought I would have time for this but I've been so busy work that I forgot about it completely. I know that's a rubbish excuse. :/

Oh, I am I too late?!

If there's still room for me, here are my language lists:

From: Dutch, English*, French, German, Italian, Latin, Mandarin, Polish, Spanish
To: English*, French, German, Italian, Polish, Spanish

Me too, please.

" Maj-Britt , can I quickly ask something about the exam?" Ah, I saw your location and wondered if you went to uni as me! This name ^^ answered that question; I recognised it straight away, even if [to stay on topic] I don't remember addressing her as such! I took her fourth year course on spoken v...

Hmm, not quite the same situation, but I have wondered how my hypothetical future child(ren) would fare if my boyfriend and I were to have kids together. My native language is English, whilst his is Polish but we speak to each other in French. Do you think that if our child were being raised in Fran...

Received the text (much sooner than anticipated!) I'll get started today and hopefully send it on tomorrow at the latest.

Oops. Usually I make a couple of little mistakes that don't really rubbish things up too much but I seem to be wholly responsible for introducing mushrooms into the story out of nowhere. Hmm. :/

From: English, French, Italian, German, Mandarin, Polish, Dutch, Latin

To: English, French, Italian, German


(Also I'm very excited to see 2 people have offered Maltese; that should definitely be included!)

Yes, sorry, I did. Finished it last night so sending on now.

Out of: English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Polish*, Mandarin

Into: English, French, Spanish, Italian

* Preferred; I noticed this time around someone else will also do Polish so hopefully you can get it in there. I'd really like to give it a go. :)

Done and sent. It was...strange. It's been a while since I've done any Latin translation so we'll see how it turns out! There were parts that really made sense and others where I didn't really know what was going on. :/ Also, the pronoun thing; I didn't get who was who. Never mind, though! I gave it...

Just got it. Sorry, hadn't been on here the last couple of days. :/ I'll try and get it done tomorrow.

I'm kinda tempted to put another language into mine just to screw things up a little. I've no idea what, if any, languages I could do, though. I suppose it all comes down to whether you have a decent dictionary. I might be able to translate out of Dutch, that's the only thing I can think of. But I'...

I start English sentences with "also" a lot, as well. And in Maltese I tend to use "hux" a lot, which is generally overused by people my age. It means something along the lines of "I know, right?". Something like that at least. As soon as I saw 'Maltese' the first thing that sprung to mind for me w...

From: English, French, Spanish, Latin, Italian, German, Polish, Mandarin. To: English, French, Spanish (or any of the others above, I suppose ...it is meant to be a challenge, after all). I'd really like to translate from Polish, though, if anyone will translate into it. And to whomever mentioned Sw...

OK, I received the text this morning so I've done a rough translation and I'll refine it after lunch before sending it on. Most of it makes sense, but there is one phrase that seems rather strange. I hope I can put it down to the text having changed a fait bit already and it's not just me being dens...

Nope. When did Google Books become only available in the US? I'm in Europe and I used to use that feature a fair bit when I was at uni.

Oh! This is the first time I haven't just just missed this. I've love to give it a go. I can do: Into: English, French, Spanish; From: Any of the above plus Italian, German, Polish and Mandarin. Actually at a push I could translate into those languages...I like a challenge, but it could turn out bad...

Oh, and my boyfriend suggested another useful term: coulis , which refers to a sauce made by cooking and straining vegetables or fruits that is generally served chilled. Out of curiosity is it /kuli/ since it looks French? Yep. to cut (someone) off...that's what's used around here, I don't know abo...

Nectar? It's not a common word in English, and in fact here in England, at least, no-one really drinks it, but you can buy it at Lidl. No, it's not nectar. Ew! I once accidentally bought pear nectar at Lidl in the belief that it was pear juice. It was disgusting. Hmm, Wikipedia tells me that saft i...

Nectar? It's not a common word in English, and in fact here in England, at least, no-one really drinks it, but you can buy it at Lidl.

"The skyscraper with blue windows"? In writing I would maybe say "the skyscraper, the windows of which are blue", but I've never heard "that's" or "which" used in such a sentence. "Whose", yes, but I don't think it sounds right.
