I'm just beginning, so naturally my Hindi is atrocious, but my vocabulary's pretty good (as that's basically just brute force memorization,) and I can understand conversations fairly well, even if I'm still basically just pointing and grunting. Re: other languages: my French is pretty much non-existent, and my few phrases of Spanish make people's ears bleed (mostly because I invariably manage to pick whatever accent/dialect is furthest away from their own,) but as soon as I get into the swing of things with Hindi I'd like to start studying them seriously. Also, I'm hoping to learn German. Because you know. Ancient moldy scientific papers. (I know, if that were truly a good reason I would have to learn Russian too, but I'm not _crazy_)

    No lo se. 'Twerking' probablemente, pero lo no es bailar de verdad.

    'What I'm about to say is only speculation.' seems to be the closest to your general meaning, and is a fairly common phrase. The construction you used isn't exactly wrong, but this one is a little more elegant. Depending on the context you can also say: "This is only speculation, but..." to introduce a topic. Some other options which are both natural and correct: "What I'm going to tell you is only speculation, but..." "What I'm telling you now is nothing but speculation." "This is just a guess, but..." Edit: ...also, 'naught but speculation' is probably what you meant to say in your last two sentences, and it _does_ mean 'nothing but', however it's very, very formal, and almost archaic (at least in American English), so you probably want to avoid using it.

    Body Image

    Everyone with a different figure has their own problems, no matter whether you are tall or short. The taller girls think they are so tall that it makes them look too strong if they are careless about their clothes. The shorter girls often wish they could own a longer pair of legs. The right clothes can help. If you choose your clothes according to your body type, you can also become a believable goddess and have[?] everything.

    लिप्यंतरण? क्या वो सही है? Namaste, में अमेरिका से हूँ | अभी, मैं हिंदी सीख रही हूँ | मैं देवनागरी में लिख सकती, लेकिन कंप्यूटर पर यह कठिन है | हिन्दी फ्रेंच से अधिक कठिन है | यह थका है | मैं शब्दों को जानती हैं, लेकिन मैं जहाँ इनको जगह नहीं जानती है | मेरी व्याकरण बहुत बुरी है | Dammit I don't even know if you can /say/ that. Can you even say 'my grammar,' and, if so, is it a thing you "own," or is it apnee/apnaa vyakaran, like it belongs to you in the way your own arm does? ...and now I've realized I don't even know the gender of 'vyakaran.' This is so /frustrating./ Every time I come on here I realize all the things I want to say that I /can't,/ because I'm still pointing and grunting like a troll, and saying stupid phrasebook things like 'main har din tairnee' and 'aap kahaan se hain?" and it's driving me completely crazy.

    My mother's daily routine:

    My mother is a housewife. She usually wakes up early in the morning, around 6:00-6:30 am, then she goes to the bathroom, brushes her teeth and washes her face, and goes for a walk. After returning, she prepares tea for the whole family. She has tea with all of us and goes to bathe. Then she goes to the kitchen and cooks breakfast. After breakfast she helps my sisters clean the house. She rests for a bit and then cooks food for lunch. After lunch she takes an afternoon power nap and gets up around 4:00-4:30 pm. She finishes all her work related to marketing and talks with us in the evening. She cooks food for dinner,  has dinner with all of us while we watch television and then goes to sleep around 10:00-10:30 pm.
