Deutsch heissen diese Sprachen aber "Katalanisch" und "Russisch". Ich kann die Erstere, aber von der Letztere nur Bruchstücke.
Didn't see those
By the way, I think your last sentence should be: "Ich kann die
Erste aber von der
Letzten nur Bruchstücke".
Won't say anything about "heissen" - it's correct in Switzerland

"Dem altem Forum" isn't right? I thought you marked an adjective like it was an article, but "alten" would be in the accusative case...(Sorry, I've been doing a lot of German self study, and getting ahead of my class.
)
Only when there's no article. Have a look at
this.

If the ":m" and ":n" are supposed to mean accusative - leave it away. It's not used with "iĝ-ifized" verbs.
I'm not very good at prepositions (even in my native language, lol), but I think it is better to use "je", since you aren't physically
on the forum.
Yes, I guess "je" is better, I never really understood how it was to be used anyway.
After prepositions, you're not supposed to use the accusative right, so why "usonan gestlingvon," after "kaj?" Also, I thought you could drop the "tie" in "ĉi tie" in informal situations. I was trying to be hip and slangy. Sed mi estas nur komencanto.
"Je" is to be used when no other preposition fits. I think it's kinda weird too
"Kaj" is a conjuction.
If you drop "tie", I don't think the meaning is clear. It could be understood as "ĉi (tie)", "ĉi (tiu)", "ĉi (tio)", etc. I'm not really into Esperanto slang, though.
