*1) A bit literary; you could also use the conjunction wenn in parallel with your English and French versions: wenn ich die Einzige wäre
*2) The person of the verb is determined by the subject of the relative clause (die), not by the subject of the main clause (ich).
*3) Your German version deviates from your English and French versions - there you say that you are undressing; in your German translation you say that you have are in the state of being undressed / have undressed. The exact equivalent would be die sich vor allen Leuten auszieht.

I've been continuing my everyday study in German without any break for months until last weekend, when I felt a bit tired, also because of an unpleasant event I've experienced in the LEO forum. Now I feel like to take a long winter break and, replacing language-learning, take some physical training. Thank you all for your language help.
我已經每日學德文毫無間斷學了幾個月,直到上週末我開始覺得有點累了。我想好好休息一個冬天,取而代之以體能鍛鍊。謝謝你們大家的協助、教導。
Ich habe für Monate täglich Deutsch gelernt, aber nun fühle mich müde und möchte gern eine lange Winterpause machen. Ich bedanke mich bei euch allen für eure Sprachhilfe.

Tu hablas España?

Desculpe es Que España es Lingua a Polynesia,
Hola en Olelo Hawai'i es Aloha*,
Hola' es nada mucho differente a Aloha.

Sorry for my bad spanish
The question is is spanish a language of polynesia
hola in the hawai'ian language is aloha*
Hola is not much different to Aloha,

*Actually it's more accurate to say that aloha is used phatically in Olelo hawai'i. — As with most phatic expressions.

The main scenario in which this seems plausible is that Spanish colonization spread from just the Philippines to Polynesia and resulted in the creation of Spanish-based creoles there (there actually are Spanish-based creoles in the Philippines).

(Another try for "from when")
My friendship with Thomas from when we entered the same college didn't last long.
More: show
My friendship with Thomas: a noun phrase
from when we... college: it modifies a noun phrase and refers to a past event
Meine Freundschaft mit Thomas, die angefangen hat, als wir die gleiche Universität betreten haben, hat lang nicht geblieben/gehalten.
(My friendship with Thomas, which started when we entered the same college, didn't last long.)
More: show
die Freundschaft:
bleiben: last | blieb, geblieben |
anfangen | fing an, angefangen |
betreten | betrat, betreten |

*1) betreten would mean "when we physically stepped into the university building", which is probably not what you mean here :-) Of anfangen / beginnen the first is more colloquial; I gave both alternatives in case you want variation and not to repeat the same verb.

The sentence has nothing wrong and is already a very good try if you are just a beginner. A more natural expression might be, throwing away the structure of relative clause,
我和托马斯的友谊 开始于 我们进入(了)同一所大学,没有持续很久。
