Hello,

I am Russian language learner living in Canada. I think this is a great forum for sharing language resources and improving our ability to learn faster. I think watching russian TV shows along with transcripts definitely will help.

Thanks to Big dog for letting me be a part of this.

Regards,

kaush

Hello all, I am a native Russian, came here from the iTalki web site. I have been learning Spanish, French and Chinese little by little. It seems like many people here are interested in Russian. I wish this site will be helpful for me and on my part I also will try to give some help.

大家好！

Morning everyone!

My name's Marcellus. I am currently studying Mandarin Chinese, but I have always had a great interest in language in all forms, from Mongolian to Nahuatl. Really looking forward to getting to know you all and learn from you!

My mother had a thing about bilingualism.

She met my father at teacher training college, and when they graduated she tried to get work on one of the Scottish islands for both of them so that we'd grow up speaking Scottish Gaelic. That never panned out, but in the end I heard throughout my childhood how I was "supposed to be" bilingual.

Also, her mother (my grandmother) had been a French teacher herself, and my mother had picked up on a few of her techniques. She got a friend to send LPs of...

Hi, all!

I don't have a lot of time at the moment, but I thought I give at least a quick introduction. I think the email I sent in reply to the polydog help registration email explains my situation quickly and accurately so I will share it with you:

"Hi,

Well, I am a classical guitarist and currently working on my Bachelor of Music degree. Some months ago, I began language learning as a hobby and have gotten so into it that I've managed to become quite fluent (if only passively) in French. What...

Sorry guys, I initially posted this as a reply to Rob's post.

Hello Everyone,
My name is H.F. I live in Mississippi, and I am a general surgeon. I am 47. After a trip to Argentina in 2013, I decided to learn Spanish. I had taken 2 years of Spanish in high school many years ago. I started studying seriously this past January. I started with Pimsleur, moved on to Assimil, which I have not completed, and am currently about half way through Teach Yourself. Mixed in with this, I have had a few...

Hello everyone. Many of you may know me from HTLAL. I am pleased to be a part of this new forum where language-learning is discussed intelligently. It is also good to see Cainntear and Peregrinus again. I've missed your posts, guys.

When the next major outage happens on HTLAL, and it will, I don't want to be left without a language home. I hope to be able to add to the discussion here and help where I can.

My language learning of late has been mostly focused on improving my Portuguese. I can...

Hey folks,

I am really happy to become a part of this community. I have already read some interesting discussions here . The layout is refreshing and appetising.

I study Russian, Czech and dabble in Hungarian. Now for some language fun. Who will understand them all and point my mistakes ?

Привет, я изучаю русский в университете в Шотландии. Я жил в Петрозаводск. Было очень холодно. Мне нравиться русская литература.

Hi everyone.

I am Alessandra.
I am 35 years old and my native language is Italian.

French was my first foreign language at school, then I studied English. At university I attended Spanish and Danish "Language and literature" courses and I learned some basic of Romanian. My last experience was a beginner course of Japanese.

Now I want to learn Russian.
I am starting with "как дела?" a book for beginner in my language, and I am trying to focus my attention on the first and the last chapter...

Hi,

My name is Rob and I'm 29 years old. I got an e-mail saying my account will be deleted if I do not post so here I am. I came to Polydog from other websites trying to figure out the best way to learn a language for me.

I am trying to learn German for my trip next year to Germany and I'm trying to get a game plan together. I have been trying to learn Deutsch for around a month. I have purchased the Michel Thomas Method, Pimsluer (from my library) and Assmil German with Ease + MP3 files and...

Hello everyone,

I came across these forums recently as I've gotten back into language learning. I am currently studying Esperanto and plan on getting as good as I can get till the end of the year and then move my focus from it to learning my main target, Serbian. I grew up speaking it at home but soon fell out of use when I started school. I've tried a few times to learn it, but never stuck with it long enough and as a result from my attempts at learning both this and other languages I did at...

This forum is getting more and more active, not to mention that the software runs quite smoothly.

Just dropped by to say hi for the moment. Not sure what exactly I will do, if I am going to mirror or write differently.

Looking forward to hearing from everyone

Hello from Montreal :-)

Pierre-Emmanuel — Sat, 26 Jul 2014 08:15:50 +0000

I study translation at Montreal University and I love learning languages on my own (sadly my university only offers English-French translation).

I've been learning Icelandic for more than two years, German for a year and a half, Spanish for a year, and I've just started to learn Estonian with a free online course (Keeleklikk.ee). It would be a crime not to learn Estonian when there's such a great resource available!

I plan to study translation in Iceland in 2016 so I'm putting a lot of time...

Josquin — Sun, 22 Jun 2014 17:54:17 +0000

Hi everybody,

I'm writing from exile as I have been given some sort of time-out over at HTLAL just because of a silly debate about Russian politics. Anyway, here I am! It's nice to see so many well-known faces in a new guise.

As most of you will know, I'm focusing on three languages at the moment: Russian, Irish, and Japanese, but I have also been dabbling in a number of languages without getting very far with them.

I have been studying Russian for two years now, completed a Langenscheidt...

I’m another who loves HTLAL, but is increasingly frustrated by the technical problems. I’ve been reading the logs here for awhile and finally decided to join.

I’ve always loved the sound of German. I studied it in high school and college, after which I didn’t touch it for almost 30 years. I started studying it again in 2007, this time on my own. I really didn’t know what I was doing, so I was very glad to discover HTLAL. The people there were and are an invaluable source of information and...
