Ik kann ok öven! Ik heff nich bemerkt, dat de Thread aktualisiert worrn harr.
I can practise too! I didn't realise that the thread had been updated.

Ik wünsch, ik kunn ümsüns studieren (un Medikamenten ümsüns opschreven warrn, wat dat bedraapt).
I wish I could study for nothing (and get prescribed medication for nothing, for that matter).

Jo, so twischen de Skandinavischespraken för miene Jorkischespraake studeren, un miene Famieljengeschicht söken, ik dache, dat ik versöken wull, en beten von dat Platt to lernen.
Yes, so between studying the Scandinavian languages for my Yorkish language, and looking up my family history, I thought I might try and learn a bit of (Northern) Low German.

(Continental North Germanic was influenced pretty heavily by Middle Low German, and a good number of my ancestors hail from Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein.)

Muine Greoteldern hebbt eok Platt gekürt - Lippsk Platt, met merkwördige Diphthongen. Os in "Muin Hius is kloen, nit greot."
My grandparents also spoke Lows German - Lippe Low German, with strange diphthongs. As in "My house is small, not big."

Meine deutschen Vorfahren sprachen wahrscheinlich Platt, da sie aus Pommern stammten.
My German ancestors probably spoke Platt, as they came from Pomerania.

Sa pu moyang bicara bahasa Missingsch dan sa pu nenek belajar bahasa Plattdütsch sedikit dari de pu teman SD.
My great-grandmother spoke Missingsch and my grandmother learned a bit of Plattdütsch from her friends in primary school.

Platt Pommern beda jahu dengan dialek Plattdütsch yang lain, to?
Pommeranian Platt is very different from other Plattdütsch dialects, right?

I see that this thread has been revived!

J’apprends le français.

I am learning French.

J’inclus la prononciation car je lutte encore avec l’orthographie.
/ʒ‿œ̃kly la pʁonɔ̃siasjɔ̃ caʁ ʒə lyt ɑ̃kɔʁ avɛk l‿ɔʁtɔɡʁafi/
I am including the pronunciation as I still struggle with the orthography.

Pour moi, l'orthographe n'est jamais une problème. C'est presque complètement régulière, même si c'est assez compliquée. Il y a (généralement) une correspondence biunivoque dès la forme orthographe à la prononciation. C'est la liaison qui est peu intuitive.
For me, (French) spelling has never been a problem. It's almost completely regular, even though it's fairly complicated. There's generally a one-to-one correspondence from the spelling to the pronunciation. It's liaison which is unintuitive (for me at least).

Although to be fair I mostly ignore the difference between /e ø o/ and /ɛ œ ɔ/, and between /ɑ̃/ and /ɔ̃/, so maybe I'm not so good after all

Il faut que je pratique le français en plus. Je l'étudiais pour neuf années à l'école, mais ça c'est finie il y a deux ans, et maintenant je commence à perdre de la vocabulaire. Mais aujourd'hui j'ai appris un nouveau mot – "biunivoque".
I should practice my French more. I studied it four nine years at school, but that finished two years ago and now I'm starting to lose vocabulary. But I've learnt a new word today - biunivoque "one-to-one".

J'étudiais le français louisianais pour une dissertation pendant l'année terminale, mais j'ai oublié bien plus de ça que du français standard.
I studied Louisiana French too for an essay during year 12, but I've forgotten even more of that than than of normal French.


(Si je pouvais corriger ton français, il faut dire "ce fil" /sə fil/ en lieu de "cet fil" /sɛ fil/. On n'utilise "cet" qu'avant un mot qui commence avec une voyelle)

La liaison aussi c’est difficile pour moi.
/la ljɛzɔ̃n‿osi sɛ difisil puʁ mwa/
Also, liaison is difficult for me.

Ah, merci ! J’ai oublié qu’il y a tous les deux « ce » et « cet ».
