Re: Language practice thread

El subjuntivo me vuelve loco cuando tenemos que estudiarlo en la clase, pero me gusta que pueda usarlo con más seguridad ahora.
The subjunctive drives me mad when we have to study it in class, but I like that I can use it with more confidence now.

I've probably gone and used it wrong now...

Re: Die taal van Uitstekende smaak, Afrikaans! [Demino]

I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this thread for when you do some slightly more advanced stuff (if you get round to it of course), although your plural rules are very helpful! I'll attempt the exercise when I get a little more time.

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here

I am also taking a break from conlanging at the moment. Sometimes I think it helps because when you come back to it you can look upon your projects with a fresh mind. I shall probably get started again in the near future, and will be ready with plenty of new ideas. Also, I find that alternating betw...
