In the book " History for children " , the author says that poli means entrance .
It's the first that I read that poli doesn't mean city , but ENTRANCE.
What's the truth folks ?

I was wondering if anyone here knows how to speak or understands Brazilian. If so, how do you pronounce & spell (correctly) the word "Strength"? I have been looking on word translation websites, but haven't been able to find a translation for the word in Brazilian.

The answer needs to come from a Japanese person who knows English. I know there is a common kotowaza that is almost an exact translation of the English phrase, but I can't find it in any resource books. Please write the answer in romaji. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!

"It's the red van, spinning a trail of fluff-balls down the hill."
1- Do you know what is a fluff-ball?
2- I want to know what does "down the hill' mean: does it mean that the van brings the fluff-balls down from the hill? or it means that the van brings them along the hill?
Thank you for your help.

I am just starting to learn Spanish and i only speak my native language English at the moment. ( shame on me!) but i was wondering if a language is learned later on in life ( in other words - not as a second language from being a child) will i eventually stop saying the Spanish words and thinking about the English translation... does it really become totally natural to ourselves??? I hope i am making sense here??? Will i naturally say Mi nombre es mojo jo jo ( that is not my real name of course!!) without thinking about what it means in English? Can a second language become as natural as the first ( if learned properly) and not have to be interpreted by oneself but simply understood?
Hope the answer is yes and i'd be interested to hear about anyones experiences learning a foreign language and any hints and tips you have? ( i have bought a CD and book course to learn from )
thanks for all of your answers!

Not sure what the Japanese translation is for the above; received an email with this as a response!

I don't mean a literal translation, but a French phrase that has the same cultural relevance and might, for example, be affixed to a wall in a house

I know this is a really easy question but 'Il a ete amuser' (with accents of course!) just sounds wrong. If it helps to know the context I'm trying to describe a concert I went to last weekend.

Can anyone help? thanks
