hey everyone

[HaleySunflower]

i did mostly duolingo but i also had help from a classmate and a little from youtube. i havent spoken french in a minute (literally over a year) so im probably really rusty right now xd. and having the same favorite language in common is quite fun

my favorite line in italian to speak out loud would be perche stai mangiando un gelato prima di cena have fun guessing it :D

i usually just identify myself as an Italian American

Qu'est-ce que tu fais maintenant? (You should be able to understand this)!

Also, as for your Italian line.. it's a little hard but I know that gelato means ice cream and prima means first, but di put after it as a conjunction is before, and cena means dinner, so something something "ice cream before dinner", I can't tell if it's a question or a statement, but perche stai could be "because" or "why".

I'm not great with verb identification but in french mange means to eat, and if I’m right about ice cream, it could be "why are you eating ice cream (or jelly since gelato can mean ice cream) before dinner/lunch". but if it isn't a question or a statement, it could be "I’m eating ice cream before dinner." lol that one was fun to crack. How close was I?

Italian American is cool!! I wish I had more in me lmao, I'm pretty basic but I’m proud!

Welcome to the forums! Hope you like it here. Languages are cool but I never tried to learn another. Seems like too much of a pain. What's your favourite word to say in English?

Thank you for the welcome!!
And yeah, languages are definitely cool! As for my favourite words, I have quite a few!

I think the word and brand, Mercedes, is quite interesting since every 'e' that is pronounced is phonetically different! But as for cool words, I like glottal words or harsh-sounding ones.

Quixotic is a nice word, I don't see it used enough, or absquatulate!

Thanks for expanding my repertoire lol. Mercedes is a interesting word definetly. It sounds good if you can pronounce it correctly.

No problem!

I pronounce it as "Mur-Say-Deez" but I think the pronunciation changes according to regions, like in Spain, they'd probably pronounce it as "Mehr-Ceh-Dehz", it's cool!

Two more new words!

lol I’m glad!

 

[HaleySunflower]

have you ever left ny?

I've travelled to the EU with family before, but I've typically never left the state, I would love to go elsewhere though! It would be a dream to go to Japan, just to experience the night life and the different culture!
