C'est très bien, Joto!
A min paréceme que no forum están a falar máis en alemán ca en francés... E iso si non o entendo?

So? Easy to understand?:)

Hermione Weasley, I think (but am not sure) that instead of "Me llama" you should say "Yo me llamo" (Beluka would be the right person to ask this...)

Beluka: Yes, that's easy to understand, and it would be said inportuguese, like this:
"A mim parece-me que no fórum estão a falar mais en alemão do que en francês... E isso sim, não entendo!"

Is this right?


It's easily to understand but there are a few mistakes: it's not "j'ai visite mon pere en Senegal" but it's "j'ai rendu visite à mon père au Sénégal". There are a lot a lot of little word in french, it's very tiresome!!! :rolleyes: :D

Te amo (well, this is portuguese too, but from Brazil)
Σ'αγάπω (I'm not quite suge, but I think that's how you'd spell it) - Greece

It actually IS "Te quiero" or "Te amo" in Spanish.

In Galician it also is "Ámote" or "Quérote". :)

"estoy nadando y estoy mandanda una carta para (or por??) tu"


:) "... mandando una carta para tí".
If you ever need help with spanish do not hesitate to ask me for it!;)

I don't mean to be rude, but scottish is kind of a foreign language! I find it so hard to understand! Though i loooove the accent, really love it ;)

"... me llamo Amon Rê". You shouldn't add the word "es", because "llamar" means something like "to be called".

But hey... welcome to this place! Thx for joining in!! :welcome:
