Language Exchange

sohbetocean's picture

Anyone interested in participating in a language exchange? With the languages represented in Doha, it seems a waste not to take the opportunity to attend to your linguistic skills. If so, you can make posts here describing in which language(s) you can provide help and which you would like to practice.Hopefully, you can find a suitable partner. And maybe one day QL will include a Qatar Language Exchange Group.

Myself, I'd be glad to help any other ladies with Arabic or English in exchange for such help in another language. I have quite a long list of languages that I am interested in learning or languages that I have studied and would like to practice. Anyone else interested?

Frog__ said Interested in Any Linguistic Issue ...

I am highly interested in any linguistic issue, especially things relevant to language Exchange or what we can also call translation. The languages I can manage are : Arabic English and French. I enjoy translating to/ from those languages. Ready to help anytime.

It is a very good idea.
So strange, no one want to learn Chinese. But many businessmen are going to learn it because China will be the biggest market in near future. Not you can find many goods made or from in China.

I want to learn English,also Arabic and teach others Chinese. Is anyone like my idea? pls. contact with here:)

coolquietman said jauntie i suspect its a typo ...

jauntie i suspect its a typo but nevertheless
'hindus'refers to people who follow hinduism. it has little or no relation to hindi which is the national language of india.

novita77 said CQM ...

I assuming all Indian speaks Hindi and they have their own dialek depending where they come from. Like in China everyone speaks mandarin and have their own dialek like Cantonese or Hokkien.

 

jauntie's picture

jauntie said oh thank you! cqm ...

I actually thought Hindi was only spoken by a Hindu, so thank you for that piece of knowledge and my apologies to your National Language and to any Hindus who I may have offended.

And anyone else!!! (one can never overdo it when it comes to apologies)

 

coolquietman's picture

coolquietman said novita actually not. hindi ...

novita actually not. hindi is mainly spoken in north india. to the west its like marathi gujarathi ...to the south there are 4 states with their own languages and they are not well versed in hindi(though they might speak ir smatteringly). the northeast is yet another story as is kashmir.
but hindi is the most widely spoken if thats what you sre asking.

do it right - the first time!

novita77 said CQM.... ...

Do you speaks Hindi as well? But i thought Senti is from Nepal? Does Nepalese speaks Hindi too?

jauntie said birthday going fine tks cqm ...

although I am now reduced to adding ruby grapefruit juice to the champagne, since hub doesn't like champers and I'll NEVER be able to finish the whole bottle without diluting it :D

Our driver is from Kerala and he doesn't know Hindi either - he speaks Malayalam.

Anyway, I now know it isn't only spoken by Hindus. Glad we cleared THAT one up!

you are right!

you said: "CQM ...
I assuming all Indian speaks Hindi and they have their own dialek depending where they come from. Like in China everyone speaks mandarin and have their own dialek like Cantonese or Hokkien. "

usually, north of chinese speak mandarin,people from Guang dong province speak Cantonese ans also there are a lot of Chinese languages in west ,east,middle and ...of China. because China is so big. the difference between China & India is affected by English.China is less and India is more. so now Indian enigeers is more easy to find a job in english company than Chinese engineers.Anyway, Chinese religion in folk custom,such as Buddha is imported from Indian.So WEST is advanced,civilized in Chinese opinions so far.
In my opinion, languages are culture in concepetion. so just keep your native one. you can learn more if you want to enjoy a specific culture then u can learn it language. such as I find Arab culture is very interesting, so i love to learn it if i can. English is same. but now we have to use english well as she is the common language worldwide.
