¿Tú habla Español? ¿Hablas inglés, si?

Esta la cerveza. La cerveza es femenino, curiosamente.
It is the(FEM) beer. The beer is feminine, curiously.

Es "¿Hablas Español?" informalmente, o "¿Habla usted Español?" formalmente.
It is "Speak Spanish?" informally, or "You speak Spanish?" formally.

Old Norse:
Ek hef ekki kunnr um hverr ek er af segja. Ek trúa af þar er vit í!
I have no idea what I'm saying. I hope it makes sense!

¿Por qué "curisoamente"? Es una bebida que se fabrica con agua, levadura y cebada.

Agh... *feminina!!!

Cerveza no es típicamente bebida de elección para mujeres. También, es divertido que vino es masculino, en comparación. Idiomas son así. También, levadura es un hongo y cebada es un grano.
Beer is not generally the drink of choice for women! It is also amusing that wine is masculine, in comparison. Languages are like that. Also, yeast is a fungus (MASC) and barley is a grain (MASC).

Catalán:
Són Català i Castellà mútuament entenedores?
Are Catalán and Castellano mutually intelligible?

Puede ser. Las mujeres prefieren a menudo la sidra.

Crec que no. Com prova he parlat el català a mexicans un par de vegades i no m'han entès.

Catalan:
Tendeixo a dir "Castellano", independentment de la llengua que estic parlant. Supuso força del costum de la classe d'Espanyol.
I tend to say "Castellano" regardless of the language I'm speaking. Force of habit from Spanish class, I guess.

French:
En regardant Catalane actuelle, il semble un peu juste comme combiné Français et en Espagnol.
Looking at Catalan now, it looks a fair bit like French and Spanish combined.

Les choses à être enlevés sont en rouge ; les choses a être ajoutés sont en vert. :) Ce que linguoboy faisait plus tôt avec le gallois.

Réponse : Oui, c'est vrai. Moi je peux aussi comprendre pas mal de catalan écrite (y a-t-il un «e» sur le fin de «catalan» ? Je crois que non, mais je ne sais pas) grâce à ma connaissance d'espagnol.

[En anglais (in English) :
(I like that there's someone here who's learning French. I know it, so I can at least try to help.)
Things to be removed are in red; things to be added are in green. :) linguoboy was doing this earlier with the Welsh.

Response: Yes, that's true. I can also understand quite a bit of written Catalan (is there an 'e' on the end of "catalan"? I think not, but I don't know) thanks to my knowledge of Spanish.

Just popping in again to say that it isn't. Y cathod braster doesn't mean anything; the definite article can't precede a possession. You have to say Mae cathod braster yn cysgu ar y mat if you mean "the cats of fat are sleeping on the mat" -- without the 'r.
Thought I should point that out for the benefit of anyone who didn't pick up on the mistake. :)

So now you know Welsh better than the author Rhian Pierce-Jones?

Mae dy ryfyg di'n rhyfeddod.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to say. Please explain more clearly.

Ow. Thank you, but I already beat myself up over that. I believe I learned that you can't have a definite article in front of a genitive thingy. Are you asking me to unlearn that? What do you want me to do?
