So, the idea: on tumblr we all want to learn as much languages as possible. At least amongst my followers there are a lot of people that would love to be more multilingual. So, I figured I make a blog like this so we can all help eachother, as we are from all over the world.

Used sentences are all of the kind that might come in handy when you’re a student. This little list was provided by the owner of this blog and her friends when they went to Denmark on a schooltrip. We had a pocket dictionary with ‘Danish for beginners’ which consisted in useful sentences applicable for students.

- Hope you enjoy this as much as i do :)

Maaike

Please note: this isn't a blog on which I will gather as much swearwords as possible, there will be lists with swearwords too, but this isn't the main thing on this blog.

Someone sent me a message on this blog asking me about the Japanese language, but silly me, I pressed the delete button instead of the answer privately button.

We’d love to get some Japanese on here, I wanted to tell you that you can see the conversational knowledge that has been translated on this tumblelog can be found here

Please don’t be shy, I did not mean to delete your message. 

And for the others, please keep submitting, I’m on a school-break so if there are submission they will be posted immediately. 

Take care
