What you love about your langauge! (The one you are learning)

[Sydney]

What do you love about it?

[[deleted user]]

I love the culture of France (no, not just the eiffel tower XD)

Hi Lindsay!

[➳Halina➳]

I like the sound of French. It's pretty. I also love ballet. A lot. And ballet originated in France and all the names of the steps are in French, as well as the positions and general names of dances. (i.e. reverence, pas de deux, etc.)

[ʟ ᴀ ᴜ ʀ ᴀ]

Yes, same about ballet. I've loved it ever since I was little, and I think it would be really cool to learn French and about the French when one of my favorite things in the world originated there.

[Sydney]

Cool! I love Swedish for fika...

[ʟ ᴀ ᴜ ʀ ᴀ]

Cool! What's that?

[➳Halina➳]

I HAVE A NEW REASON! In Anna and the French Kiss they're in Paris and obviously they speak French there and it's the best book ever so yeah.

[[deleted user]]

In Just One Day they go to France for 24 hours and that's one of the BEST BOOKS EVER so yeah

[➳Halina➳]

Okay.

[[deleted user]]

Italy.

[Sydney]

Because I now know how to say I forget things a lot in a foreign langauge. Why else?

[➳Halina➳]

Wow.

[[deleted user]]

Because it would be really fun to talk to people in Italian and I love Italian culture and food (PASTA PIZZA BRUSCHETTA PROSCIUTTO CHEESE BREAD) and architecture and old timey clothing and stuff.

[ʟ ᴀ ᴜ ʀ ᴀ]

Ooh, yeah, Italian architecture is really cool

[[deleted user]]

And I can annoy Germans too.

[Sydney]

And Germans can annoy you too Lily.

What. You might want to translate that first. "I have a boy" Is what you just said.

[[deleted user]]

LILY I WAS DOING THAT LAST WEEK AND I COMPLETED THE ENTIRE ROLEPLAY GROUP IN A FULL DAY

[➳Halina➳]

I took a break from Duolingo for the holidays since I've had absolutely no time. But when I went shopping today a lot of words on clothes were in French and I was happy because I could translate a lot of them or figure out what they meant with context from the words I did know. :)

[Sydney]

Awesome!!!

Have any of you guys been on recently?

(Hit my last "test out of x skills" bar! I can see the end of the tree!)

[ʟ ᴀ ᴜ ʀ ᴀ]

No, my sisters were in town. But I'm going to start up again soon!

[[deleted user]]

I haven't. But seriously, what did you mean before?

[Sydney]

Ich eine Junge? It means "I am a boy"

[➳Halina➳]

XD Lily
Does Swedish have almost no relation to English? That's what it seems like.

[[deleted user]]

Whatever. I guess you accomplished the task of a German annoying an Italian. Well done. *bows*. :)

[[deleted user]]

I could translate a lot while watching Moulin Rouge

[Sydney]

@halina: yes it does! and it only has two genders, that their rules are like legos, they build off eachother, and if you have 2 blocks, you know how to make 60 blocks. See what I mean? The grammar is really simple, and it is a lot like english. Or, at least not as much as dutch. If you want a REALLY easy langauge that more like english than any other language, go for dutch.

@lily grace, why thank you.

@ella, what is moulin rouge?

[➳Halina➳]

Okay, thanks! I haven't seen much Swedish but from what I have seen it seems confusing if all you know is English.

And Moulin Rouge is a musical.

[ʟ ᴀ ᴜ ʀ ᴀ]

What's it about?

Btw, Sydney, since all three of us want to be lawyers, maybe we could switch out every time so that we all get a chance, and then the third person can just stand in as the witness. Does that sound okay?

[[deleted user]]

I'm listening to musical stuff speaking of witch.

I WISH! MORE THAN ANYTHING! MORE THAN LIFE! MORE THAN JEWELS!

[ʟ ᴀ ᴜ ʀ ᴀ]

I WISH TO GO TO THE FESTIVAL

[Sydney]

Cool! Moulin Rouge ser bra ut till mig! Vad tror du som det? Är det bra? Det ser bra ut om du fråga mig....är du frågar mig?

Translation: Moulin Rouge looks cool to me! What do you think about it? It looks good if you aks me...are you asking me?

(Me trying out my swedish, no google translate used excpet for spell checking)

[[deleted user]]

ILL TELL YOU THE SAME ILL TELL KINGS AND QUEENS DONT YOU EVER EVER NEVER MESS AROUND WITH MY GREENS. ESPECIALLY THE BEANS.

[Sydney]

Okay Laura!

[Sydney]

Guys, have you ever heard of Alexander Rybak? He is my new favirote artist....His song europe's skies and roll with the wind, and into fantasy and more are pretty good.

[[deleted user]]

Moulin Rouge is about this writer who comes to Paris for inspiration during the Bohemian revolution and falls in love with this courtesan named Satine, but this duke also loves her, so there's this unfinished love triangle. It's called Moulin Rouge because that is the name of a night club that was being built into a theater due to the time period.

[ʟ ᴀ ᴜ ʀ ᴀ]

Oh, that sounds interesting!

I've heard Europe Skies before!

[Sydney]

It's good!

[[deleted user]]

My favorite song right now is probably This is Gospel. It's sad

[Sydney]

in Europe skies, at 2:15 on this video, go there, and the best part of the song plays.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUv1q...

[ʟ ᴀ ᴜ ʀ ᴀ]

Once again, I have the first of Miss Jackson stuck in my head.

[[deleted user]]

My favorite song right now is probably either Youth by Daughter, Little House by Amanda Seyfried, or One Day I'll Fly Away

[➳Halina➳]

This is Gospel is too upbeat to provoke sadness for me. I like Blood Bank, For Emma, and Skinny Love by Bon Iver and Youth by Daughter.

[[deleted user]]

YOUTH BY DAUGHTER

[➳Halina➳]

XD oh I also love Buzzcut Season by Lorde.

[[deleted user]]

I love the accompniament to that song

[[deleted user]]

Europe skies sounds like something Marius would sing.
