BrainKing - Discussion boards (Languages)

Languages

Ask questions or just talk about different languages. Since BrainKing is an international game site supporting many languages, this board can be kind of useful.

Since we will be dealing with pronunciation of words rather than their spelling, I think it's useful to have a link to The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet.

To see translations of some frequently used phrases and sentences in other languages see Languages

OK, awhile back I joined a Dutch only game site, and had the following phrase translated for me:

I only speak English

Dutch: "Ik spreek alleen Engels".

Well now I went and joined a German language game site, and would like the same translated to German. I would like to get that into my profile there so people don't think I'm rude or something when I don't reply back to them. Thanks.

ghingher: Thank you - I don't trust the on-line translators and would always like to have a human translation.
