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.)

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?

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.

La liaison aussi c’est difficile pour moi.

Also, liaison is difficult for me.

Es gibt Sprecher vom Französich hier, oder? Können Sie vielleicht ihn für Hilfe fragen, wenn Sie Ihre Französich mehr üben wollen?¹

Aren't there French speakers² here? Maybe you could ask them for help, if you want to practise your French more.

¹ I have almost certainly made mistakes here. And the register feels contradictory.
² I have a feeling this should be a compound noun, Französichssprecher?

Note: plus is ‘more’. For ‘enough’ you want assez (I think).

Dans ce board, je pense qu’ Ares Land, MacAnDàil, Vilike et xxx sont francophones natifs. Plusieurs d’autres personnes parlent français aussi.

Je peux parler le français ... ou bien, je pouvais le parler au fin de l'école, mais maintenant j'ai un manque de pratique. La grammaire était toujours mon point fort, mais maintenant même ça m'échappe quelquefois.

I can speak French, or at least I could when I finished school, now I don't practice enough. Grammar was always my forte but now I'm beginning to lose that too.

Französichssprecher or Sprecher des Französischen. Also, I think, könnten and Ihr Französisch (though Du is generally more common on internet forums).

Prends tout ça avec des pincettes ; je ne suis pas locuteur natif, et par le loi de Muphry je sais qu'il y aurait des fautes dans ce qui suit.
Quand tu as dit "j'ai envisagé de créé un fil", ça devait être "créer", mais je suis sûr que tu sais ça, ce n'est qu'un typo (il y a quatre cents moyens pour écrire /e/ en français et à fois on choisit l'erroné à cause de penser la phrase comme quelque chose parlée non écrite). La construction "ce que pour l'allemand" n'est pas correcte; je pense qu'il devrait être "celui pour l'allemand" ; ce que doit être suivi avec une phrase verbale dont ce que fait l'objet (alors "ce que l'on a pour l'allemand" est bon).


Take all of this with a grain of salt [an idiom I had to look up]; I'm not a native speaker, and by Muphry's law there's bound to be some mistakes in my own reply anyway. When you said "j'ai envisagé de créé un fil" it should of been "créer", but I'm sure you know that, it's just a typo (there's lots of ways to write /e/ in French and you (well, I at least) tend to think phrases as spoken rather than written and then the words come out how they want). The construction "ce que pour l'allemand" though is wrong; I think it should be "celui pour l'allemand" [I was never too sure on celui~celle~ceux~celles constructions though]; "ce que" has to be followed by a verbal phrase that it's the object of, so "ce que l'on a pour l'allemand" [that which we have for German] is all good.
