Ā, I kitea ngā āhuatanga tini o te kupu reo Shilluk ‘acama’ i te rauemi a SIL, i pōhēhētia te reo Dinka. Ahakoa e mōhio tonu ana au kia rite te reo Dinka; he reo kupu kōmitimiti nui me te wetereo ‘Austronesian trigger’, nē?
Ah, I saw the table of forms of the Shilluk ‘acama’ in the SIL resource and mistook it for Dinka. Still, I think that Dinka is similar; it’s highly fusional with a roughly Austronesian trigger system, right?

日本語がよく忘れちゃった。でももっと勉強しないで、日本語忘れちゃうことに愚痴ばかり零す。大変じゃん。

I've forgotten so much of my Japanese. But instead of studying more, all I do is complain about how much I've forgotten. It's very challenging /s
Ye knowe eek that, in forme of speche is chaunge
With-inne a thousand yeer, and wordes tho
That hadden pris, now wonder nyce and straunge
Us thinketh hem; and yet they spake hem so,
And spedde as wel in love as men now do.

Ούτε εγώ, δεν ασκήθηκα με γλώσσες μου για πολύ καιρό.
Same, I haven't studied my languages for ages.

Κι έτσι συγκεντρώνω ελληνικά. νομίζα ότι θα είναι ευκολότερο αν το σπουδάσα μία γλώσσα.
So I've been focusing on (Modern) Greek. I figured it would be simpler if I studied the one language.

"al veel te lang" is also possible. Just "al te lang" sounds odd here.
Dit bewijst, dat je je tenminste iets herinnert.
No German commas in Dutch! :) Also, I'd use "in ieder geval" instead of "tenminste" here.

Es freut mich sehr, dass du wieder hier bist HW! Ich fürchte, dass wir dich hier nie wieder sehen würden!
I'm very happy you're here again HW! I feared we'd never see you here again!

仕事でひまなときアンキを使っていたが、今は久しぶりだ。どうして使わないかなあ。
Shigoto de himana toki Anki wo tsukatte ita ga, ima wa hisashiburi da. Dōshite tsukawanai ka naa.
I used to use Anki at work when I had nothing to do, but now it's been a long time. Why am I not using it?

Je ne sais pas. Tu devrais aller au travail aujourd'hui pour utiliser Anki.
En tiedä. Sinun pitää mennä töihin tänään, jotta käytät Ankia.

I don't know. You should go to work today to use Anki.

einrosten is an intransitive verb.

I'm very happy you're here again HW! I feared we'd never see you here again!
1) The past of fürchten is fürchtete
2) In contemporary German, you don't use the simple past here, but the past perfect
3) befürchten is the more idiomatic verb to use here. A more colloquial to put it would be ich hatte schon Angst, dass...

Ik ben blij om terug te zijn, en ook om je weer te zien!
Je suis ravi d'etre de retour et aussi de te revoir!
Sono felice di essere ritornato e anche di rivederti!

I wouldn't be surprised if people would say "ik ben blij om ..." but I'd consider it an anglicism.

Ich hoffe, dass du hier länger bleiben wirst als ein paar Tagen!
I hope you're sticking around more than just a few days!
