Learn New Languages Here by dearestsewa(f): 10:39am On Nov 13, 2013 |
I love learning new languages. Meeting people who speak languages I've never heard is fun to me. From Igbo to Hausa to Tiv to French to Spanish to German... I have tried to pick up one or two phrases from these languages. It helps me to strike a conversation with people who speak it. Especially strangers. So, here I will like us to learn along with me. I must acknowledge that I got learn most words through google. Here we go: LEARN TO SAY THANK YOU [center]Language Thank you Pronunciation [center]Igbo Imela ee-mei-lah Hausa Nagode nah-go-day Yoruba Ese/ Eseun eh-she/ eh-she-oon Afrikaans dankie dahn-kee Arabic shukran shoe-krahn Australian English ta (informal) Chinese, Cantonese do jeh daw-dyeh Chinese, Mandarin xie xie syeh-syeh Czech dêkuji deh-ku-yih Danish tak tahg Finnish kiitos kee-toas French merci mehr-see German danke dahn-kah Greek efharisto ef-har-rih-stowe Hebrew toda toh-dah Hindi, Hindustani sukria shoo-kree-a Indonesian/Malayan terima kasih t'ree-ma kas-seh Italian grazie gra-see Japanese arigato ahree-gah-tow Korean kamsa hamnida kahm-sah=ham-nee-da Norwegian takk tahk Philippines (Tagalog) salamat po sah-lah-maht poh Polish dziekuje dsyen-koo-yeh Portuguese obrigado oh-bree-gah-doh Russian spasibo spah-see-boh Spanish gracias gra-see-us Sri Lanka (Sinhak) istutiy isst-too-tee Swahili asante ah-sahn-teh Swedish tack tahkk Thai kawp-kun krap/ka' kowpkoom-krahp/khak Turkish tesekkür ederim teh-sheh-kur=eh-deh-rim[/center][/center] More to come... 2 Likes |

Hi all, Been a while. Before we continue our new language acquisition, let's get tips that will enhance our language learning. I compiled these tips: *Decide on the new language you want to learn. It is easy and better to learn one language at a time and to decide why it is important for you to learn it. This will help you to stay motivated. *Study the pronunciation of the new language you want to learn. Practice the difficult sound daily and then, check your proficiency with a fluent speaker or a dictionary in that language. Ensure you get pronunciations as correctly as possible. Bad pronunciation habits are confusing and difficult to break.Study the writing system of the language too. *Practice the common words or phrases that are relevant to you. Don't learn words tractor when you won't say it everyday. A word like woman might be better than zoo. Learn the most important words and learn them in context rather than in isolation. * Take advantage of free web tutorials, especially the video or audio listen and learn. * Try to know the history and culture of the native speakers of the language you are learning. *Never stop practicing. Speak the language with native speakers you know. Let them correct you where necessary. *Be patient with yourself. Don't give up easily if you are having difficulties. Begin with simple and common words and practice daily. Later all. |
