Isn't this always permitted when doing these challenges?

No, that's a yes. There are slight differences, but we can understand each other

I understand text massages, but i can't speak

It is permitted. But I'm not studying french currently, so I just wanted to give it a try with the little knowledge I have. I re-read my translations and I already found some mistakes.
>Once I finish English I will seek for your perfection my dear love

I'm studying English too. What is your level?
also this

You need to speak using English IRL to perfect your speaking skill desu. Do you have someone to talk to on English IRL?

Pre-Intermediate

try making some vocaroo recordings, then people can point out your mistakes

moroccoenglish.com/2017/10/03/penguin-yest-vocabulary-1-5-series/

try those books out. they go from level one up to five. They will be very helpful.

they are not textbooks, but workbooks and include plenty of exercises that you can complete.

Maybe I'll check it out after I make more progress in the languages I'm learning right now.

Spasibo

try

You have to improve all your English skills because you are pre-intermediate, That is B1, I guess . Otherwise, It'll be harder to speak english fluently.

Have you tried learning songs? That's a good start to practice pronunciation. I also recommend you to talk to yourself, you will look like a crazy, but it will help you to both express your ideas and notice your weaknesses

I want to hear your cute voice. Try to do something simple like say a couple of vocabulary words. It will be fine, just try.

>Have you tried learning songs?

>I also recommend you to talk to yourself, you will look like a crazy, but it will help you to both express your ideas and notice your weaknesses
Ok, spasibo

You sound good though. Do you feel like you won't be able to carry a conversation in English? That just requires practice.

>Do you feel like you won't be able to carry a conversation in English?

I'm just afraid to say something. I know a lot of words, but my grammar is bad.

>That just requires practice.

Norwegian is more useful than Swedish. Even though fewer people speak it, it almost entirely overlaps with Swedish, requires fewer weird sounds to learn, and will help you the most in understanding the other Scandinavian languages as well. Also, Norwegian would be more exotic, since everyone expects Swedish when they think of Northern Europe.

>but my grammar is bad
Even if you make mistakes there's a good chance that the listener will still understand what you mean. Even if they don't get it you could always try and explain it in a different way. If you let the person know that you're still learning I'm sure they would help you if you get stuck. You have good pronunciation so I would go ahead and get out there if I were you, even if you don't feel confident.

How well can you understand Swedish?

I'll try, thank you

I hate when Duolingo wants me to use the keyboard and not the list of words
99% of the times it's only a matter if you have chosen the synonyms duolingo wants

You're not going to learn shit using word banks

Stop using word banks right now. You're seriously hurting your progress when you do that? What lang?

Yes I am

Okay, have fun crippling yourself

>is there a particular reason why you do this?
I don't have a good excuse for this, I think my issue is that I think "oh it's passive / past tense so it's root+t" or so
your point was that it's supposed to be instappen instead, right?
I think I understand the rule, I just don't think it through enough and at the moment "instapt" sounded better but there's no good reason why desu ;__;

As well as I understand various Norwegian dialects. Much better than certain Norwegian dialects, in fact.

Explain how telling me how I should have used the word teacher instead of professor is not crippling myself

what's a word bank and why is it bad

When you use Duolingo it gives you the option to see what the potential answers are. It's bad because instead of thinking about it and producing knowledge you can easily guess what the answer is, like multiple choice. The result is that you have a weak and passive understanding of the language.

oh ok
I thought you were saying learning a bunch of words by heart is bad

The fuck is a passive understanding
You either know what words translate to or you don't

It's a list of words you can pick from as opposed to typing them, but retention is significantly poorer (you basically remember what the word sort of looks like rather than the word itself)

Basically, you understand but you can't produce.

If presented with 3 different words, you know wich word to chose, but you can't actively produces the word if it was not presented to you first. Does it make sense ?

>You either know what words translate to or you don't
I have news for you. It's possible to "kind of" know words based on context and the like, but if you were asked how to say something you would struggle to remember it.
Have you ever known a word but didn't know how to spell it, even though you've read it a bunch of times? It's kind of like that.

Дapoвa.

Hej bajskorv, du har en spillindustri. Vi kan bytte.

That's great. If I may have just two suggestions.

"Poszedłem z psem do parku." could work perfectly well, given proper context, but "Wyprowadziłem psa w parku." would be a direct, context-agnostic translation.

I'd also go with "Lato już prawie się skończyło, a nadal nie poszliśmy na plażę." as a slightly more natural expression, since the two sub-sentences are contrasted with each other.

>Wil je ijs eten?
>Het is zo heet in Juli
>Ik lopen mijn hond in het park
Ik liep met mijn hold in het park.
To walk your dog in english has a slight naunce:
Ik heb mijn hond in het park uitgelaten.
>Zij is een bitje nerveus
Beetje*
>Ik ben hem over het gevraag, maar bent hij nog gereageerd niet
Ik heb hem erover gevraagd/ over het gevraagd, maar hij heeft nog niet gereageerd.
>Zomer is bijna over en wij hebben naar het strand niet gegaan
De zomer is bijna over/ voorbij en wij hebben/ zijn nog steeds niet naar het strand gegaan.
>Zij hebben gratis kranten gegeven naast de winkel
to give away -> weggeven, near -> dichtbij, next -> naast
Zij hebben gratis kranten weggegeven dichtbij de winkel
>Mijn oma vraagt altijd mij wanner ga ik trouwen
Wanneer
I also feel that it should be,
Mijn oma vraagt mij altijd wanneer ik ga trouwen

Here you go,
>5:10:38
Oh shit, hopefully you'll still see this.

今日も出来ない。
Easy.
アイスクリームはどう?
七月にすごく暑いよ。
公園で私の犬と散歩した。
彼女はちょっと緊張します。
Medium.
彼にこれについて尋ねたでもまだ答えなかった。
夏はほぼ終わったでもまだ海へ行きなかった。
店の近くで無料の真便がくれられます。

新聞 in the last one instead of 真便, obviously. Need to start looking at what I type.

1. ...gehts, sonst... (as far as I know, that second thing cannot exist as a seperate sentence)

2. It's "heißen", not "heißer"; also you should use "an" instead of "bei"

3. Just leave out the last "werden"

4. Correct in terms of grammar, but "reicher" is an adjective and is not capitalized

5. "Bauer Tom steht vor dem Sonnenaufgang auf und fängt an zu arbeiten, bevor das feuchte Wetter kommt" Alternatively, use "bevor es feucht/nass wird"

6. use "stürzen" instead of "umkippen"; also: "Solch ein Despot soll unser Volk nicht weiter regieren."

7. I'm no Christian, so I dont know the official wording of that sentence, maybe another Germanon could help?

Overall, they were all intelligable sentence with minor mistakes. Keep at it user!

>Fa freddo
Should be "caldo", what you wrote is the exact opposite
>L'ho
Should be "Gli", also "riguardo" is a better translation for "about"
>piaggia
Should be "spiaggia"
> io vado mi sposare
Not sure what you did there, an easy translation would be "mi sposerò"

You aren't learning a language with the intent to move to said country? Why?

Why would you need to?

The only reason you should learn a language is because you want to speak it. That's all. Your own motivation and own use for it.

To watch Chinese cartoons without subs.
