Hello, I studied French and Spanish back in school and I haven't practiced much with them after, so I'm quite rusty with them and while I can understand pretty much everything in those languages my production suffered greatly from the lack of exercise. I started learning Swedish a few years ago, on my own, with few resources and mostly as a free time activity, so my skills are still very low. At first I did it because I planned on moving to Sweden, then when my plans changed I went on with it, but only rarely working on it, so much that I didn't do anything about it for a full year or so. I try to apply way more now, but I'm still terrible at putting sentences together. Last but not least, I just started learning Korean, a passion born from songs and videogames, and I hope I can really make some good progress in it. Other languages I really plan on studying one day are Mandarin, although this will probably require some serious teaching and a lifetime of study, for me, and Tagalog, of which I fell in love recently because of a few songs. And who knows, maybe one day I'll go back to Europe as far as languages go and learn Russian, slavic languages are really beautiful, but so complicated! And maybe Arabic, I started learning it in school but never went further than alphabet, and yet again another hard language to learn. I wish I could learn all the languages in the world or most, really. EDIT: Currently I'm prioritizing Dutch, as a while ago I moved to The Netherlands and so I need it's fundamental for me to reach an high level in it.

    Begane vs verdieping I know that ground floor is called "begane grond" while all the other floors are referred to as "verdieping". Why this difference? Why isn't it "grond verdieping"? Is there some particular reason for this distinction or is it just traditionally like that? It also seems that the word "begane" is never used in any other context but just as begane grond, am I correct? Thanks in advance.

    Tanke. Idag bryttade jag min mobiltelefon. Jag kastade den därför jag hette arg men nu jag är väldigt generad.

    https://www.koreanclass101.com/korean-dictionary/ is what I suggest for single words. As Tony said google is good to understand the general sense of a text (vaguely too) but it really is terrible otherwise.

    I always liked the idea of being able to speak and understand foreign languages. Every language opens a whole new world, plus I hate not being able to understand things, I wish I could just know all the languages on Earth.

    It's a consonant placeholder, because each syllabe needs to have at least a consonant and a vowel each, when you write them down, but since some only contain a vowel you write down ㅇ where the consonant should be. For example 아 or 우 (if you don't know already, the positions are different depending on the syllabe sontaining a vertical or an horizontal vowel). I hope it helped.

    Like you, I think actual romanization makes no sense at all and if anything it only damages the knowledge of Korean. In my opinion, if there is a language it should be based upon is latin, since it has simple pronunciation rules (what you see is what you get) and it is universal. Or some unique system like pinyin is for Mandarin, since that one seems to work well.
    I personally don't use romanization at all, I've kept myself away from it from the start and luckily so since it's completely misleading. Though this is since I started learning the language, before I used to read songs lyrics that way and in fact everything sounded so wrong for me, compared to the sounds I heard.

    La prima neve

    Fa brutto tempo oggi. Sta ancora nevicando. E' È la prima neve di quest'anno a Pechino.
    Mi piace la neve, però quando devo camminare per più di mezz'ora per andare all' in ufficio, si diventa non così bella diventa meno bella.
    I'm gonna miss(non so come dire in italiano)Mi mancheranno i giorni quando in cui lavoravo al Museo, shuttle bus bus navetta(?), brutto tempo, pochi turisti e bei baesaggi.

    Credo la parola giusta sia "intendi" o al limite "vuoi dire", "Intendi la moglie di Jame? Sì."

    A few days ago I started watching The Village: Achiara's Secret on http://www.viki.com/ , this site has subtitles avalaible in many languages too. This drama is a thriller and a it's new, they're only at episode 8 now, I'm loving it so far.
    While it's true that sure you can't learn Koean merely by watching stuff, it's also true that it helps you remember words you learnt, see them in context, and also you can guess the most repeated terms and see how people adress each other. It also helps with immersion and culture. Sure tv shows/dramas/films etc is not everyday life but it still shows some things about culture.
