Hi Ewa, I'm very glad you're learning Mongolian.
After I have seen your question, I did some research. It seems like there is too little amount of online resources to learn Mongolian. Anyway, I found some things, some of them might already be known to you.
There are some vocabulary courses on memrise. I have chosen 4 from them, which I found the best, particularly they have audios.
1. Mongolian 1: https://www.memrise.com/course/1779700/mongolian-1/
2. Mongolian 2: https://www.memrise.com/course/1779744/mongolian-2/
3. Mongolian for beginners: https://www.memrise.com/course/1487725/mongolian-for-beginners-mgl123/
4. Beginner Mongolian: https://www.memrise.com/course/55099/beginner-mongolian/
And then I found this site can be very helpful: https://www.livelingua.com/project/peace-corps/Mongolian/
and this old book: https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED401762.pdf.
Finally, I want you to cast an eye on this Quora question, that is relevant to you.: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-best-program-for-learning-Mongolian
If you post at some point your written things in Mongolian here, I will try my best to suggest improvements. Feel free :)
0 votedFebruary 5, 20180Сайн уу Одгэрэлээ,
Here are my suggestions:
Миний нэр Одгэрэл. * here be careful, you are mixing up the letters 'л'(l) and 'п'(p). Otherwise grammatically correct and natural.
Энэ нэрийг миний монгол найз надад өгсөн. * What you initially wanted to say is actually, I think, 'Энэ нэрийг монгол найзаасаа авсан'. But I think the former is more natural in Mongolian.
Би японд амьдран суудаг.*'Би японд амьдран сууж байна' is totally correct. However, it implies that you are now living in Japan and previously you have lived somewhere else. 'Би японд амъдран суудаг.' says that you live in Japan.
Засуулах хүсэлтийг минь хүлээн авна уу. 'Засах' means in this context that you are willing to correct on your own, 'засуулах' means you are requesting someone else to correct yourself. I would say 'Миний алдааг засаж, монголоор зөвийг нь хэлж өгнө үү.', which literally means 'please correct me and tell me the correct Mongolian way.' And here again, you are mixing up 'ь' and 'ъ'. But don't worry at the beginning of your learning Mongolian language.I hope it helps.

In Mongolian one can understand that you walk more than usual from the context. But anyway, if you want to emphasize that you walk much more than any other around you, include it.0 votedJanuary 7, 20180
- The meaning of "Түмний баатар" differs in which context you use it. It can mean 'national hero' or 'a knight who leads a thousand soldiers'. "хашраах" means 'to punish' or 'to teach someone a lesson' and "хэрэгтэй" is 'should', 'have to', 'it is necessary', 'it is worth' etc.. I think in your context it probably means '(we) should punish (someone)'0 votedDecember 18, 20170
- Maybe it is too late. But look at this dictionary link. There is an audio of that word. Generally, I would recommend Bolor-toli. http://www.bolor-toli.com/dictionary/word?authenticity_token=T2agBh4P6DK1gZyILiL91GNLK%2BxZcBSWpLrQWQ9Ar4o%3D&selected_lang=4-1&search=%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%B9%D0%BB%D1%8D%D1%85%D0%B3%D2%AF%D0%B90 votedNovember 26, 20170
- Hi Demian. The word you have found should be read as солиот. The other translations can be "галзуу хүн" or "солиотой хүн". I don't know where you have found the Mongolian script. But I will really recommend you the online dictionary Bolor-Toli, which always includes a classical Mongolian and a Cyrillic scripture. http://www.bolor-toli.com/dictionary/word?authenticity_token=IuBz%2F1KegP3qY8JO2lZXegQEXiPNsINOBrYTsFP2zhg%3D&selected_lang=4-1&search=madman0 votedNovember 21, 20170
