എനിക്ക് എല്ലാ ഭാഷകളും പഠിക്കാൻ ഇഷ്ടമാണ്. അതുകൊണ്ടാണ് ഞാൻ അത് എപ്പോഴും ചെയ്യാൻ നോക്കുന്നത്.

I like studying all languages. That's why I'm always trying to do that.

No, not necessarily. All I need is a miracle.

Wir brauchen hier wirklich ein deutscher Muttersprachler. Ich sehe viele Fehler, aber ich spreche nicht gut genug Deutsch zum korrigieren.
We really need a german native speaker. I see many mistakes, but I don't speak enough German to correct them.

I understand you; many very interesting works were written in Russian, mainly about siberian and ancient languages, not to be read elsewhere. Do y'all know the linguistic work of Shuvalova on conlangs?

Or perhaps more idiomatic, "ik had het erg druk met werk", or "ik was druk aan het werk".

Hi, I'm posting here for the first time.
Si "for the first time" dicere vis, ne usus sis praepositione "ad".
If you want to say "for the first time", don't use the preposition "ad".

Mirabile autem duco "for the second time" in Latinum non versari verbum "secundum" adhibendo, sed "iterum" vel "rursus" vel "denuo".
I find it interesting that "for the second time" is not translated into Latin using "secundum", but rather "iterum", "rursus" or "denuo".

Primum, iterum/rursus/denuo, tertium, quartum, quintum, sextum, septimum...
"For the first/second/third/fourth/fifth/sixth/seventh time"...
