I am trying to learn italian. I just have a question about self nouns? When saying parlo un'po Italiano, am I referring to myself or would I say Italiano in asking someone if they speak Italian? Another example would be with capescio and capeche. Capeche is in asking someone else if they understand, right? No online translators please. You can give me websites though. Keep it short and sweet.

I want to learn french, but I have heard AWFUL things about how arrogant the french are and how they hate it when americans speak french--as if it pollutes the language when spoken by americans. I want to visit a country where the people there will be flattered that I'm learning their language. Is there such a place?

I've come across the word "wakatte" several times and I'm pretty sure it's a Japanese word. However I looked it up in some Japanese-English dictionaries and couldn't find it. Does anyone know what it means in English?

I would like to speak to my friend, who's Thai. I know a couple things like hi and bye, and, "some" other things that he had told me. However, I would like to be able to actually say something. Does anyone know any Thai, or maybe a source (website,book,etc.) that I can use? Also, if you know any, how are they pronounced?

What can i do with a bachelors degree in a forign language such as russian or spanish??? I know that i can become a tranlator/interpreter or a teacher... but what else is there?

2007-09-20 18:24:18 · 6 answers · asked by Ben10 3

I was studying German using a no translation method, and after a lesson presenting completely new grammar, I've spent half an hour trying to figure out the grammar in it, so here's where I got so far:

Die Knie/Hand
Die Hände des mannes sind auf *seinen* Knien
Der Kopf des mannes ist auf *seinen* Händen

Der Tisch/Gesicht
Die Hände des mannes sind auf *dem* Tisch
Die Hände des mannes sind an *dem* Gesicht

Das Ellenbogen
Die Hand ist an *seinem* Ellenbogen

Are those things correct? And either ways, how come we still say:
Der Hand des mannes ist auf *seinem* Kopf / Although we say "Der Kopf"

er berührt seine Nase

in seinem Mund
an seinen Mund

And a logical translation would be nice.
Thanks.

answer only if u are fluent in spanish&do not use a translater.if i translated something wrong, plz correct it for me.Thx.Last week, I went on a trip to the river.While I was there, I took long walks.Every day I would walk two miles along the river and watch the scenery at the same time.It was very relaxing.I also went fishing and caught two beautiful salmons.They weighted ten pounds each and I was very proud. However,I released them because I did not want to kill them.But the weather was very cold and there were a lot of mosquitos but I had a nice time anyway.
my translation:La semana pasada, fui en un viaje al río. Mientras que estaba allí, tomé caminatas largas. Cada día caminaría dos millas a lo largo del río y miraría el paisaje en el mismo tiempo. Muy relajaba. También fui a pescar y cogí dos salmones hermosos. Cargaron diez libras por cada uno y era muy orgulloso. Sin embargo, las lancé porque no deseé matarles. Sin embargo, el tiempo era muy frío y había muchos de todos modos.
