OH, you joined to the forum, HELLÓ!

Welcome welcome, Iván! Do you want to go to the main introduction thread here and introduce yourself?

[ÞórirPP]

Íslenska/Icelandic:
Halló, ég heiti Þórir Pétur, og ég er frá Íslandi. Ég er fæddur og alin upp á Íslandi, svo að íslenska er fyrsta tungumálið mitt (sem er ástæðan fyrir að ég byrjaði á henni). Ég hef líka lært ensku og dönsku (eins og allir íslendingar þurfa að gera) en hef aðeins náð að halda uppi mína enskukunnáttu (af augljósum ástæðum) á meðan danskan mín hefur því miður rýrnað með tímanum. Ég er að læra spænsku í augnablikinu, og er að plana að læra mörg önnur tungumál í framtíðinni. Satt að seigja er listinn yfir tungumálum sem ég er að plana að læra svo langur að hann er frekar listi yfir hvaða tungumál í heiminum mér líst betur á að læra en önnur XD.
Ég er með sama kynningartexta í öllum hinum tungumálunum, svo að þið vitið hvað á að standa hjá öllum.

Enska/English:
Hello, my name is Þórir Pétur, and I am from Iceland. I am born and raised on Iceland, so Icelandic is my first language (which is the reason I started with it). I have also learned English and Danish (like all Icelanders have to do) but I have only managed to maintain  my English knowledge (for obvious reasons) while my Danish has unfortunately deteriorated with time. I am learning Spanish at the moment, and am planning to learn many other languages in the future. Truth be told, the list of languages I am planning to learn is so long that it is more of a list of which languages in the world I would like more to learn than others XD.
I am with the same introduction in all the other languages, so you know what it should say in them all.

Dansk/Danish:
Hallo, jeg hedder Þórir Pétur, og jeg er fra Island. Jeg er født og vosket op på Island, så islandsk er mit første sprog (som er årsagen til at jeg begyndte på det). Jeg har også lært engelsk og dansk (ligesom alle islændinge må gøre) men jeg har kun formået at bevare min engelsk kundskaber (af indlysende årsager) mens min danske har desværre forværret med tiden. Jeg lærer spansk i øjeblikket, og jeg planlægger at lære mange andre sprog i fremtiden. Rent ud sagt er over sprog jeg planlægger at lære så længe, ​​at det er mere af en liste over hvilke sprog i verden jeg ønsker mere at lære end andre XD.
Jeg er med den samme introduktion i alle de andre sprog, så du ved, hvad den burde sige i dem alle.

Español/Spanish:
Hola, me llaman Þórir Pétur y soy de Islandia. Nací y crecí en Islandia, así que Islandés es mi primera lengua (que es la razón por la que comencé con ella). También he aprendido inglés y danés (como todos los islandeses tienen que hacer), pero sólo he logrado mantener mi conocimiento de Inglés (por razones obvias), mientras que mi danés se ha deteriorado con el tiempo. Estoy estudiando español en este momento, y estoy planeando aprender muchos otros idiomas en el futuro. A decir verdad, la lista de idiomas que estoy planeando aprender es tan larga que es más una lista de los idiomas en el mundo que me gustaría aprender más que otros XD.
Estoy con la misma introducción en todos los otros idiomas, así que sabes lo que debería decir en todos ellos.

(P.S. All the introductions were translated from the Icelandic one, and the española one is probably the worst translated of them all, even though I spent the most time in that one XP)

/CRYING I learn icelandic for two years or so and aah I can understand whole this text aaaaah so cool ;__;/

I know no any icelandic but still understand a tiny.... bit..... like few words, especially at the beginning ;3;
I love how languages are so similar...... and if you know one, you understand a few of the other xD
(okay, I understood the danish way more then the icelandic, and I have learnt only a bit of swedish...)

languages are so fun..... :Đ

[Auxivele]

Hiya there, ÞórirPP!

I actually understood most of the Spanish one, and could understand the rest from context. Which honestly made me feel so proud of myself.

[Gaemmel]

Oh, I didn't even know this thread existed! Here we go!

Hallo, mein Name ist Daniela, aber meine Freunde nennen mich Gämmel. Ich bin 22 Jahre und lebe in Deutschland. Letzten Oktober bin ich dem Stand Still Stay Silent fandom beigetreten und habe seitdem großen Spaß hier! Ich hatte seit der 3. Klasse Englisch in der Schule, außerdem hatte ich Franzözisch und Spanisch, letzteres aber nur für zwei Jahre. Französisch kann ich ganz gut lesen, aber nicht wirklich sprechen oder schreiben. Seit Oktober lerne ich auch Schwedisch, aber ich bin noch nicht so gut.

Hello, my name is Daniela, but my friends call me Gämmel. I'm 22 years old and live in Germany. Last ocotber I jointed the Stand Still Stay Silent fandom and I've enjoyed myself great here ever since! I've been learning English in school since the 3rd grade, I also had French and Spanish, but the latter only for two years. I can read French a bit, but I can't really talk or write it. I'm learning Swedish since october, but I'm not really good yet.

Bonjour, je m'appelle Daniela, mais mes amis me appellent Gämmel. J'ai 22 ans et je vis en Allemagne. (That is all I can muster in French, and I needed to look up two words for just that text. The rest would just be google translate)

Hej, jag heter Daniela, men mina vänner kaller mig Gämmel. Jag är 22 år och jag lever i Tyksland. (Same goes for Swedish. I don't want to cheat!)

[Auxivele]

Welcome welcome, Gaemmel! I can't really understand any of what you wrote in German, but I hope to one day be able to! I'm jealous of your language skills, I wish here in the U.S. we started learning languages sooner. In my school district we start in 6th grade (when you are 11 or 12) so I've been learning Spanish for about 7 years and still am not particularly good at it. Any other languages I know, I only know from being self-taught. But it's fun, so I guess that makes it worth it.

Oh, but I had been in school together with people who had English as long as I did and weren't any good at all! I think part of why I'm so good is because I hang around the internet a lot, and I have heard similar things of other people who are fluent in English. Then again, I have often heard people say that the language courses in American schools are crappy...

And don't worry too much about not understanding German! I think German is hard for non-native speakers, especially when they are not used to learning other languages. Understanding German might take you a while, but I think you can always ask for help around here

Khm, well, let's start
Russian: Привет, меня зовут Вета, я из России. Россия очень большая страна, и я живу довольно далеко от столицы - в Сибири. Про Сибирь ходит много небылиц и анекдотов, и не все они правдивы. Мне 22, я учусь в университете. Кроме учебы, я еще и работаю, поэтому времени совсем немного. В оставшееся время я читаю, играю на блок-флейте, встречаюсь с друзьями и играю в настольные игры. Люблю слушать музыку, в основном, направление, которое называется dream folk. Кроме русского, знаю еще немецкий, могу понимать украинский, письменный английский.
Комикс я прочитала прошлой зимой, а в этом году вместе с heiteri и GeiYin участвовала в зимней фандомной битве.

Hi, my name is Veta, I'm from Russia. Russia is very big country and I live far from the capital - in Siberia. About Siberia there are a lot of tales and anecdotes, not all of them are true. I'm 22, I study at the University. Besides teaching, I also work, so there is no free time. In the remaining time I read, play on the flute, meet friends and play Board games. I love listening to music, basically, is the direction that is dream folk. In addition to the Russian language, I know German, can understand Ukrainian, English writing. Comics I read last winter, and this year, along with heiteri and GeiYin played in Winter Fandom Battle

German: Hello! Ich heiße Weta, ich komme aus Russland. Ich bin 22 Jahre alt und ich gehe(?) in Uni. Ich liebe Deutsch Sprache, aber spreche ich nicht sehr gut. Ich habe Deutsh in der Uni und Schule, aber es ist vorbei und ich kann es nicht mehr hören, diese schöne Sprache. Ich intressiere mich für Bücher und dream folk müsik. Ich habe ein Lieblingsschriftsteller, das ist Max Frei. Er ist russischer Schriftsteller, aber lebe in Vilnius. Einige seiner Bücher übersetzte auf Deutsch und andere Sprachen.

Hello! My name is Veta, I'm from Russia. I am 22 years old and I go to(?) in Uni. I love German language, but I speak not very well. I have German in the Uni and school, but it's over and I can no longer hear it, this beautiful language. My interests are books, and dream folk music. I have a favorite writer, this is Max Frei. He is a Russian writer, but live in Vilnius. Some of his books translated to German and other languages.

Swedish:
Hej! Jag heter Weta och jag kommer från Ryssland. Jag är 22. Jag talar ryska, tyska och lite engelska. Jag studerar journalistik  på Novosibirsk universitet. Jag tycker om böcker och lyssnar på musik.

Hello! I'm Weta and I come from Russia. I'm 22. I speak Russian, German and a little English. I'm studying journalism at Novosibirsk university. I like books and listening to music.

English: Well, I think I've said enough?

[Auxivele]

Welcome welcome, Prizrachniy_Gek! As you might have noticed the language forum isn't very active, but it's always nice to see new faces! One day I hope to be able to understand what you said in Russian.

[Prizrachniy_Gek]

Auxivele, This day will be. Russian is a difficult language, even for those born in Russia, but very interesting. And you're learning a language or just said so?
