Du kannst nicht deine 'conlangs' hier betreiben. Es musst ein 'natlang' sein.

You can't practise your conlangs here. It must be a natlang.

Je veux étudier de parler dix langues: l'Hollandais (fait), l'Anglais (fait), la Francais, la Japonais, la Russe, l'Arabe, la Chinois, la Lurionesque, la Hwong Zheng ou la Thropoi, et une autre langue. Je ne sais pas que je vais accomplir ce-la.

I want to learn to speak ten langauges: Dutch (done), English (done), French, Japanese, Russian, Arabian, Chinese, Lurioneski, Hwong Zheng or Thropoi, and one other language. I don't know if I am going to accomplish that.

Hay un thread donde practicamos nuestras 'conlangs' :D

 트렏 (Thread)은 있어요. 여기, 우리 컨을랑(conlang)은 말해요. ^^
(I'm just going to insert a blanket statement here saying that I know that my Korean translations are probably riddled with errors, and any corrections are warmly welcomed. ^^)

We have a thread where we can practice our conlangs:

Diez es una buen número! Tambien, ahora voy a intentar hablar diez idiomas. Hablo Inglés y Tagalog; estoy estudiando español, coreano, francés (el dialecto de Quebec), y Aentoui; despues, quiero aprender Cebuano, latina, arábe, y japonés.

(Necesito los artículos? (Es 'articulo' la palabra correcta?) Y no sé cuando tengo que escribir con mayúscula y cuando no tengo que.)

Jag vill ha en fisk också men har inga fiender.

I also want a fish, but I don't have any enemies.

Y prefiero ser fluente en uno o dos idiomas de saber diez! No digo que es imposible que hablar diez idiomas bien, pero todas no van a ser iguales.

I'd rather be fluent in one or two languages than know ten! I'm not saying that it's impossible to speak ten langugages well, but they won't all be on the same level.

C'est vrai, mais je sais ces deux langues. Je ne veux pas savoir les autres huit que bon que ces deux; ce n'est pas possible.

That's true, but I know those two languages. I don't want to know the other eight as well as those two; that's not possible.
(I'm pretty sure "que bon" is wrong; please correct.)

并不是!太难了,可能。可是不可能的事情没有。

No way! Extremely difficult, maybe. But nothing is impossible.
