Help your fluency in a nifty way

[Buran]

Traté hablar francés hoy, pero ha hecho mucho tiempo desde grado 12. Seguí querer usar palabras españolas en vez de las francesas. Es extraño como en ocho meses, he aprendido todo esto español, pero puedo recordar poco francés desde cinco años de él en escuela secundaria. Supongo que sólo evidencia la ineficacia de la instrucción de los idiomas en la escuela secundaria.
I tried speaking French today, but it's been a long time since grade 12. I kept wanting to use Spanish words instead of French ones. It's funny how in eight months I've learned all this Spanish, but I can barely remember French after five years of it in high school. I guess that just speaks to the inefficacy of high school language instruction.

Danke schön, hwhatting!
Thanks, hwhatting!

jal, 我认为， 你用德文写的帖子有错误， 所以我争取纠正：
jal, wǒ rènwéi, nǐ yòng déwén xiě de tiězi yǒu cuòwù, suǒyǐ wǒ zhēngqǔ jiūzhèng:
jal, I think there are mistakes in the post you wrote in German, so I'll try to correct it:

Die Zeit ist ein Konzept, das ausgedacht ist durch jemand von jemandem ausgedacht wurde, der zuviel davon hatte.

Il y en a dans ce message aussi :
There are some in this post, too:

Ich habe Zeit aber ich muss andere Dingen machen habe anderes zu tun.
Ich war zu lang in Deutschland, weil ich Hheute in meinem Niederlandischen Kurs im Niederländischunterricht fast auf Deutsch gesprochen habe. Ich habe allen <v>'s als wie [f]'s und allen <w>'s als wie [v]'s ausgesprochen und vielen""und"s und "oder"'s benutzt. Glücklicherweise war hat mein Gehirn endlich zu auf Niederlaändisch übergegangen umgeschaltet.

I'll admit I'm not 100% sure about the "vielmal 'und' und 'oder'" part, but that sounds about right to me. Even "viele 'und' und 'oder'" doesn't, though, so I decided to go with this correction. Also, I think it might be possible (maybe even better?) to say wieder auf Niederländisch, i.e. back to Dutch, but I'd like hwhatting to weigh in so we can be sure. EDIT2: Never mind, I'm pretty sure I was wrong. EDIT3: Oops, crossed out too much. I appear to have been wrong about the "vielmal" thing. My brain just made that up. But I still would like to suggest using wieder here.

സ്പാനിഷിലും തെറ്റിച്ചെഴുതിയതൊക്കെ ശരിയാക്കാൻ നോക്കാം:

EDIT: Maybe just "aprendí mucho español" would be a better translation of 'I've learned all this Spanish'? I feel like that use of "all this" is basically an idiomatic expression in English, but maybe it exists in Spanish, too; I'm not sure.

Fābulam in aliquibus ē linguīs quās studeō scrībere volō, ut eās mediter.
I want to write a story in some of the languages I'm studying in order to practice them.

Once upon a time, there were five friends. Each one spoke a different language. One evening, they met and talked:

"Ну, ребята, чем мы будем заниматься сегодня вечером?"
"Well, guys, what are we going to do tonight?"

"شاید تم لوگ میرا سامان باندھنے میں مجھے مدد کر سکتے ہو. میں جلدی منتقل ہونگا."
"शायद तुम लोग मेरा सामान बांधने में मुझे मदद कर सकते हो। मैं जल्दी मुंतक़िल हूंगा।"

"Maybe y'all can help me pack my luggage. I'll be moving soon."

"Öyle mi? Nereye taşınıyorsun?"
"Really? Where are you moving?"

"وہ زرخیز زمین کا ملک، جہاں میرے بہنوئی کھیتی باڑی کرتے ہیں ."

"The land of fertile soil where my brother-in-law (sister's husband) is occupied in agriculture."

"A, sada razumijem! Seliš se u Indiju."
"Oh, now I understand! You're moving to India."

"Eu gostaria de transladar também mas não ao lugar onde mora o meu cunhado."
"I'd like to move, too, but not to where my brother-in-law lives."

"Salak! Kimse seni sormadı! O kendinin eniştesi hakkında konuşuyor."
"Nobody asked you, you idiot! He's talking about his own brother-in-law."

"Só queria contribuir com a minha perspectiva, ca minha opinião. "
"I just wanted to contribute with my own perspective, with my opinion."

"А когда двинешься?"
"And when will you move?"

"Da li ćeš živjeti kod tvog zeta?"
"Will you live with your brother-in-law?"

"نہیں جی، میری بہن بھی وہاں مقیم ہیں. ان کے ساتھ رہونگا. امید ہے کہ آنےوالے مہینے میں اپنا گھر خرید سکونگا. کل جاؤنگا."
"नहीं जी, मेरी बहिन भी वहाँ मुक़ीम हैं। उन के साथ रहूँगा। उम्मीद है कि आनेवाले महीने में अपना घर ख़रीद सकूँगा। कल जाऊँगा।"

"Nah, my sister is a resident there, too. I'll live with her. I hope I'll be able to buy my own house in the coming month. I'll go tomorrow."

"О, твой зять и твоя сестра живут вон там. Хорошо."
"Oh, your brother-in-law and your sister live over there. Okay."

"Ama yarın mı çıkacaksın?! Arkadaşım, lanet olsun!"
"But you're leaving tomorrow?! Wtf dude!"

"Então demos uma festa!"
"Then let's have a party!"

"Nemamo vremena. "
"We don't have time."

Itaque omnēs in tabernam iērunt vīnumque bibērunt. Postrīdiē omnēs ā crapulā labōrābant.
And so they all went to the tavern and drank wine. The next day, they were all suffering from a hangover.

When Astraios writes something in both Russian and Turkish and I'm in a hurry, I don't know which language to read his post in, so I read it in English.

*I'd say "Ik ben te lang in Duitsland geweest"
**Even in the English version, you reversed cause and effect :).
***Judging the way you continue, you seem to mean that most of what you said was so heavily influenced by your previously speaking German, that your Dutch seemed almost German. However, if someone said to me "ik heb bijna in het Duits gesproken", I'd take it to mean "I almost spoke some German, but I stopped in time" or the like.
^or, "bijna Duits gesproken". So either with "in het X" or just "X".

*Even now! :)
**"zijn", not "hebben" since they switched themselves. If you don't want this gross Anglicism, use "omgeschakeld" :). Also, for some reason (there's probably some grammar rule for that, but I don't know it), I think this calls for the past perfect, but I don't think that's possible with this ("mijn hersenen waren tenslotte geswitcht" sounds really off).

Ah gah, I know "in het TAAL" but I always forget. Nogmaals bedankt!

Oui, j'étais perdu un peu le fil de mes pensées en écrivant ce texte. Je voulais exprimer que j'ai failli parler complétement en allemand, pas que j'ai failli parler en allemand mais soudainement je me suis arrêté.

J'imagine que "omschakellen" était également dans mon dictionnaire mais je ne l'ai simplement pas vu. Je dois mieux réfléchir aux mots que j'emploie, surtout quand il s'agit d'un mot qui est bien lié à un mot anglais donné c.-à-d. un anglicisme comme "switchen".

Yes, I lost my train a thought a bit when I was writing that text. I wanted to indicate that I almost spoke completely in German, not that I almost spoke in German then suddenly stopped myself.

I imagine that "omschakellen" was also in my dictionary but I just didn't see it. I have to better think about what words I use, especially when there's a word that is linked to a given word in English i.e. a anglicism like "switchen."

[jal]

Although "switchen" is rather common, it doesn't hurt to try to find "native" words when learning a language :).

Je parle des langues étranges très mal*. Je n'ai pas le** temps de les étudier.
I speak foreign languages very badly. I don't have time to study them.

*I don't like the English either. I feel like a better and more idomatic construction would be "Je suis mauvais en langues étrangères" or more familiar "Je suis nul en...." And in English I'd say "I'm not good at foreign languages." I took your use of "to speak" to be universal as in "I speak English" meaning I know English not that I can just physically speak English.

**This appears to a very pedantic rule because I had to look it up but the use of the definite implies you simply don't have the time at all, and the use of the partitive implies you don't have the time for a certain activity but perhaps something shorter is possible.

Aujourd'hui j'ai emprunté un livre qui est d'un côté en français et de l'autre côté en néerlandais. Il suffit simplement de retourner le livre pour lire l'autre langue. Ca je n'ai jamais vu dans ma vie, un livre bilingue comme ça, et franchement ça me fascine car c'est vraiment utile et intelligent. Vu que ce livre porte sur Bruxelles il incarne parfaitement l'idée d'un Bruxelles bilingue.

Today I checked out a book which is in French on one side and in Dutch on the other side. You just have to turn the book around to read the other languages. I've never seen a bilingual book like that in my life and quite frankly it fascinates me because it's really useful and intelligent. Given the book is about Brussels it perfectly embodies the idea of a bilingual Brussels.

"А когда переедешь?"
"And when will you move?"

двгигаться / двгинуться means "move" in the sense of "motion"; "move" in the sense of "move house, change place of residence" is переезжать / переехать.

Uitgezonderd bepaalde verkiezingsstof ben ik vandaag eigenlijk helemaal tevreden. Mijn Frans gaat goed, mijn Nederlands (nou het gaat toch). Mijn onderzoek gaat wel goed en ik heb al met enkele mensen in de gemeenschap die ik studieer gepraten. En nu heb ik onderdak in Zweden, in Stockholm, voor Eurovision, bij een familielid van een ZBBer, die heel aardig is omdat Stockholm heel erg duur is. We keren ook naar de Verenigde Staaten de eerst juni terug, die ook goed is omdat we bijna de ganse jaar in België heeft gebracht en ik ben klar om mijn gezin te zien en alle dat ik thuis miss (en ook moet ik en mijn maan een werk vinden als we nu nagenoeg blut zijn).

Save various election things I am actually quite happy today. My French is coming along well, my Dutch (well it's coming along anyway). My research is coming along and I have already spoken with a few people in the community I study. And now I have a place to stay in Sweden, in Stockholm, for Eurovision, with a family member of a ZBBer, which is very kind because Stockholm is really expensive. We're also returning to the US the first of June, which is also good because we have almost spent the entire year in Belgium and I am ready to see my family and everything I miss back home (plus my husband and I need to find a job since we're now almost broke)

So Eurovision's happening again soon, is it? Huh, how time flies!

'lly is a weird contraction initially. On'dydy means 'isn't it' - it's not used when there's an actual question. Iawn is more like saying 'OK'. I don't know if this is the normal idiom for 'how time flies', but I would usually use a calque like uhh tydi('r) amser yn fflio!

Israeli citizens are required to do military service.

Ммм, чуть посложнее чем «граждане обязаны». На практике служат чуть более половины призывников. А мне надо будет служить только шести месяцев, если я пригодной для служивания вообще, так что не буду например боевой, что они ни скажут о пригодности. После несколько недель в тиронуте, будут вероятно хотить, чтоб я работала в офисе с написанными переводами и т. д., значит, с тем, что я хорошо делаю вообще.

Mmm, it’s a bit more complicated than “citizens are required”. In practice a little more than half of conscripts actually serve. And I’ll have to serve for only six months if I’m fit for service at all, so I won’t be a combat soldier, for example, whatever they say about my fitness. After a few weeks at boot camp, they’ll probably want me to work in an office with written translation etc., that is, what I’m good at anyway.

Uitgezonderd¹ bepaalde verkiezingsstofgeneuzel² ben ik vandaag eigenlijk helemaal³ tevreden. Mijn Frans gaat goed, mijn Nederlands (nou ja, het gaat toch). Mijn onderzoek gaat ook⁴ goed en ik heb al met enkele mensen in de gemeenschap die ik studieer⁵ gepraat⁶. En nu heb ik onderdak⁷ in Zweden, in Stockholm, voor Eurovisie⁸, bij een familielid van een ZBB'er⁹, wat¹⁰ heel aardig is omdat Stockholm heel erg duur is. We keren¹¹ 1 juni ook naar de Verenigde Staaten¹² terug¹³, wat ook goed¹⁴ is omdat we bijna het ganse¹⁵ jaar in België hebben doorgebracht en ik ben klaar om mijn gezin¹⁶ te zien en alles dat ik miss aan thuis¹⁷ (en ook moeten ik en mijn maan een werk¹⁸ vinden als nu¹⁹ we nagenoeg blut zijn).

¹More idiomatic, at least in ND, "Afgezien van"
²"stof" is limited to study material. I substituted "geneuzel", which is non-neutral as opposed to the English "things", but since you opposed it to happy things I think it fits.
³"eigenlijk" doesn't combine well with "helemaal". I'd substitute "best" ("eigenlijk best tevreden"). I think that's the same in English, "actually completely happy" sounds off to me. But then again, inans.
⁴That's more of a stylistic choice, I think the English can need an "as well" as well :)
⁵I'm not sure what you want to say here, the English seems a bit broken as well. "Gemeenschap" can't be used for "community" in this sense, but I can't link "community" to "I study"...
⁶Or "gesproken", depending on what you mean.
⁷For me, "onderdak hebben" means that you are staying somewhere right now, so "ik heb onderdak in Zweden" sounds to me like you're already in Sweden. Your mileage may vary though.
⁸"Eurovision" is not a common abbreviation in Dutch (though Wikipedia says it's in English). "Songfestival" will do if you don't want to go full "Eurovisie Songfestival".
⁹Apostrophs after letterwords.
¹⁰"die" can only refer to a person or a "de" word. In this case, you referred to either the ZBBer or the family member. Use "wat" to refer to actions and events.
¹¹"Terugkeren" is definite. If you mean you're going back for a holiday, use "teruggaan".
¹²Or just "VS".
¹³You can change the word order here, "We keren 1 juni terug naar ...", "We keren terug naar de VS op 1 juni".
¹⁴Not very idiomatic. "goed" is used for more objective things. "Wat ik ook leuk vind" or the like would be better.
¹⁵Very Flemmish. ND "het hele jaar"
¹⁶"Gezin" refers to partner + kids. You'd say that if your husband was home with your kids and you got back to them. In this case, it's "familie" (parents, cousins etc.).
¹⁷Without "aan" it means you miss things when at home (instead of about home). It's for me slightly more idiomatic after "mis", but "dat ik aan thuis mis" is not entirely wrong.
¹⁸"werk" is a mass noun.
¹⁹or "omdat we", "aangezien we", "daar we"


Du gehst doch nach Eurovision? Das ist so toll!
You're going to Eurovision after all? That's so great!

我最近開始跟一個非常可愛的女人談戀愛，雖然我至今的戀愛經驗算是蠻差的，但我卻最可欣賞的就是我和她在一起有過的多麽自然多麽愉快的時光。未來如何，我們也無法預測，只能盡量愉快地繼續活下去，人生之路將我們帶到何處，我們就按著去。

I recently started going out with a really cute girl. Even though my romantic experience up to now has been rather lacking, I really appreciate how natural and joyful the time we spend together always is. Of course we can't predict the future, we can only continue living with as much happiness as possible, letting the road of life take us where it will.
