Michaela W., 12 yo, Southern Asia
ReplyDeleteWe are learning Nepali. It can be very hard sometimes. Yes I have often had to translate for my mom during Sunday school. I have dreamed in Nepali before. My favorite phrase is Paakaa Hola... it means "for sure maybe."
Gabriel W. 9 yo, Southern Asia
ReplyDeleteI am speaking well. No writing and very little reading. I have never dreamed in Nepali. My favorite phrase is danyabaad which is "thank you." When you say that, they laugh.
Ben W., 16, Southern Asia
ReplyDeleteतिमीलै के छ ? That means 'what's up?' in Nepali. The English pronunciation is, 'Timilai ke chha' and yes, I have to learn that language.
In Nepali, there are many different letters for one English letter, and all of them sound the same! Their is very slight differences in how to say them, but to untrained ears (like anybody who isn't from our field), it is impossible to hear it.
I've never dreamed in Nepali, but I did speak it in one dream I had. I was dreaming that I was in here, though, so it still makes sense. Sometimes I do have to translate for my parents, because although they're also learning it, they don't always understand it.
My favorite phrase in Nepali is, 'Hijo tyo, aaja chhaina." In English, it means, 'Yesterday it was, today its gone.' Meaning... Yesterday, we had a cool toy, now its broken.
Rebekah Phillips 14, Central Asia
ReplyDeleteI am learning Russian. Sometimes I do dream in Russian, but mostly English. I have had to correct my parents gender use. One of my favorite phrases is что ты делаешь? What are you doing?! My favorite word is малина which is raspberries.
Cameron Faafouina 8, Samoa
ReplyDeleteI am trying to learn Samoan, but I speak almost always in English. My favorite word in Samoan is "sukalaki" which means chocolate. I really want to learn to speak Chinese.
Gideon Minks 12, Hokkaido, Japan
ReplyDeleteYes, I am learning Japanese. No, I don't have to translate for my parents (usually I am the one needing a translation ;P ). I don't dream in Japanese very often. 友だち tomodachi (Friend) is my favorite word in Japanese.
Caleb Winkler 9, Estonia (working with Russian speaking people
ReplyDelete)
Yes, I am learning Russian.
No, I do not translate for my parents.
I never dream in Russian.
My favorite word in Russian is собака which means dog.
Micah Guay; Tak, Thailand 14
ReplyDeleteSince I have lived
in Thailand my entire life I learned Thai the natural way like how we learn English. I have had to translate for my parents some bit mostly words that kids use and adults don't. I normally dream in a mix of Thai and English. My favorite word in Thai is ขนม witch means dessert/snack.
Abigail Petersen 14 yr. Uganda, East Africa
ReplyDeleteLuganda (our language here) is a tribal language. Tribal language = very difficult! I definitely want to learn it, but it's difficult without a teacher. We have some books, so I am trying to work through those little by little. Sometimes when I am able to pick up on a little bit of a conversation, I get excited and tell my parents what I thought was said, but I don't remember ever having to translate something for my parents. I would definitely be the one needing translation! Also, because the main trade language is English, it isn't really a necessity for me to learn the language. The hard thing is when people tease you for not knowing it or ask when you are going to learn. I don't remember specifically ever dreaming in Luganda unless maybe a national was talking to me in the dream. One word I really love is "Enkoko." I love it because it's really fun to say. It means "chicken." The language I would like to learn would definitely be Luganda. I hope slowly by slowly I will get it, or maybe I can find a teacher.
Juliana, 15, in France:
ReplyDeleteYes, I learned French when I was very little.
Yes, I have to translate sometimes, for my mom, usually.
I usually dream in English, but sometimes in French when I spend a lot of time talking in French (and sometimes I talk in my sleep in French, or English, or Spanish.)
My favorite word or phrase is "Mille million de mille sabords!" which is what Captain Haddock says all the time in the comic books Tintin. (in English, they translate it as "Blue blistering blue barnicles!"
Daniel, 16, Uganda, East Africa
ReplyDeleteI have learned some Luganda, but I have not had to learn much, because most of the people here speak English.
I have never had to translate for my parents. I dream in English. My favorite word in Luganda is emmere, which means food.
I am Elisabeth Guay, I am 20, and I live in Thailand. When I first came to Thailand 15 years ago, I had to learn Thai. I was almost five, so I was able to learn Thai by just hearing it spoken around me. I don't remember learning Thai since I was so young; however, I have definitely been actively improving my Thai over the years. I learned how to read and write Thai when I was 9, and I have been working on becoming better at spelling in Thai. I have had to translate for my parents when they didn't know certain words and when they have gotten lost in a conversation. I dream in English and Thai both. Usually the two languages are mixed together in my dreams! And I often find myself thinking in Thai, especially if I am recalling a phone number. There are so many Thai words that I couldn't live without, so it's hard to pick a favorite. I really like the word สบาย (sabai). It would be impossible to translate sabai to just one English word. Some of it's meanings are comfortable, well, and easygoing. If I were to work on learning another language, it would be Chinese. I have always wanted to know Chinese, and I have been able to take a beginner Chinese class. In addition, I am interested in learning Tagalog because I have Filipino friends who come to church here. It would also be nice to learn Karen because lots of the children who come to church are from the Karen hill tribe, and their parents don't know much Thai.
ReplyDeleteNathaniel's answer to if he is learning a new language was I have been learning Russian all my life so I am still perfecting it.
ReplyDeleteDaniel's answer was I am still learning Russian but I want to learn another language.
Nathaniel's answer for if he translates for his parents was sometimes for mom but less often.
Daniel's answer was no but it would be fun.
Both said that they dream in English
Nathaniel's favorite word in Russian is zhal жаль wish means to bad.
Daniel's favorite phrase is I want ice cream. Я хочу мороженое.
Daniel also said that he would like to learn Greek, Latin, and Spanish.
Hafa Adai!!! That is hello in Chamorro, the native language on Guam. English is the main language on the island, however most of the older people still know Chamorro. We are learning different phrases to show respect to the elderly. My dad is real good at saying the phrases, I am not too bad, my mom is the worst. (She said I could say that)
ReplyDeleteNate, Guam
On Guam English is the main language. I do know some Chamorro, I know how to say John 3:16 in the native language. If I could dream in any language it would be Chinese.
ReplyDeleteEthaen,10
I am thankful that we speak English on Guam. If I could speak any language on earth I would want to speak French.
ReplyDeleteKathrynn, Guam (7)
Elijah Guay, 18, Thailand
ReplyDeleteYes, I have learned Thai. Since we came to Thailand when I was two, I don't remember initially learning Thai, but I do remember learning how to read Thai and continuing to improve my Thai. Though I have never translated for my parents, I do translate our Sunday Morning Service to English for our Filipino members. เว่อร์ (wu) is my favorite Thai word. It surprisingly comes from the English word over, since Thai people think the ver in over sounds like wu. It means overly exaggerated.
Are you learning a new language?
ReplyDeleteI have been working on my Japanese. I can speak some but still learning more!
Do you ever have to translate for your parents?
Usually no. Sometimes if they can't think of a word I will remember it, but most the time I'm the one not sure what word to use ;P
Which language do you dream in?
Usually in English. But at times I am speaking in Japanese (although it is usually never correct :D)
What's your favorite word or phrase in your second language?
すげ! Su ge! Which means COOL! or AWESOME!
Victoria Minks, 18 years old, Hokkaido Japan
ReplyDeleteI speak Japanese. :) I do dream in it off and on, and when I was little I used to sleep-talk once in a while in Japanese. But I've grown out of that (as far as I'm aware) and so now it's just dreams in Japanese.
We all help each other out in our family. ;) Sometimes I catch things my parents didn't, and am able to explain to them again in English or a differently constructed Japanese sentence. Other times I get a little lost in the conversation (especially when my mind wanders, lol!) and they understand what was said. When it comes to medical terms my mum is way better than me! But sometimes when talking with a random person out-and-about, or with a friend, my mum won't catch everything. My parents learned the formal, polite way of speech first, and I've picked up a great deal of the language from neighbor kids and just talking. So we all balance each other out. :P
I have quite a few favorite words in Japanese, but my favorite ones tend to be hard to translate into English. がんばって Ganbatte is like "keep at it!/good luck!/you can do it!/etc" and 木漏れ日 Komorebi is the word they use for the way that sunlight looks when it is filtering through tree leaves.
It's been really great hearing other Mk's answers! I love words and languages so it's been fun reading. ;)
I learned Spanish when we moved to the Dominican Republic 8 years ago. Yes, I do translate for my parents sometimes. I dream mostly in English but sometimes in Spanish (depends on who I am with in my dream). My favorite phrase in Spanish is "Quiero Chocolate", which means, "I want chocolate".
ReplyDeleteJulianna Schepers, 16, Dominican Republic
Clara, 8, Argentina
ReplyDeleteI have been here since I was 20 months old so I have been learning Spanish since then.
When I was 2 my parents asked me what the word for "bib" was in Spanish and I simply answered "babero".
I dream in English.
My favorite word is "chau". It means goodbye. I like it because my grandpa says it is like dog chow.
From Josiah W. Age 15, Japan
ReplyDeleteYes, I am learning Japanese.
No, I do not usually translate for my parents.
I sometimes dream in Japanese.
My favorite phrase or word in Japanese is, Yappari which means "Go figure"
Micah Doan, 14, Lithuania

I don't have to translate for my parents they know a lot more than me.
I dream in English.
My favorite phrase in Lithuanian is {Ka tu darai} which means [what are you doing].
I would like to learn Chinese for a new language.
Brenna, 3, Argentina
ReplyDeleteWhen I asked her, in English, if she is learning a new language she said, "SIII!!" HA
My mom and dad help me understand sometimes.
English
My favorite word is "buho", that's "owl". I like them.
Ethan, 6, Argentina

No, they already know those 2 languages.
English
I like "rana" because it means "frog" and I like "tiburón" because that is a shark.
Darren Tharp - Age 10 - Ireland
ReplyDeleteI don't have to learn a new language in Ireland but I think I would like to learn how to speak Spanish. Because there are a lot of people who speak it and it would be useful to learn.
Katie Tharp - Age 8 - Ireland
ReplyDeleteI don't have to learn a new language either but I would love to learn French. Because my Mommy knows a little of that language and France is the country of love!
Ryan Sterling, 14, Russia

Which language do you dream in? I dream in English but, one time I had a dream in Russian.

Stensaas Family: In Uganda, English is the official language, although there are over 40 tribal languages. Hence, the kids know just a few words in the local tribal language, although they know many songs. They dream in English.

My favorite phrase is "Iipilimik perusuppunga". I like how it sounds when you say it. It means “I would like one apple”
I am learning sign language and I want to learn french. I have a French Canadian uncle and it would be fun to speak french with him.
Christopher Shull (14) Greenland
ReplyDeleteIn Greenland they speak two languages. Greenlandic and Danish. They are nothing alike. Greenlandic is very, very difficult, so I speak in Danish most of the time, while still studying Greenlandic.
When we first moved here and I went to first grade I would translate for my Mom when she was talking to the teacher, but I haven’t had to do that in a long time.
I dream in English when I dream. I don’t really dream that much.
I like "Tusind Tak" it literally means “A thousand thanks”
I am learning Morse Code and would like to learn french eventually.
Emilia Faith Shull (10) Greenland
ReplyDeleteYes, I am learning Greenlandic and Danish.
No, I don’t have to translate for my parents.

I am learning Sign Language and would like to learn Spanish. I would also like to learn Icelandic because I was born in Iceland.
Andrew, 15, Cameroon, West Africa
ReplyDelete"I am not learning a new language, currently. I will be taking French in school soon. The language that is mostly spoken in Bambili is Pidgin. My favorite phrase in pidgin is "Ashya for Poto Poto," which means, "I'm sorry for the mud." If I had to choose one language to learn it would be French.
ReplyDeleteMattaliina Joy (4) Greenland

No
I think Danish but I don’t know.
"Mamakujuit" it means "Candy"
I can say “popcorn” in sign language.

I do have to translate for my parents sometimes lol! My favorite word to sign is "friend" and my favorite word in Fante is "oyeafie" which means beautiful. The only language I've dreamed in is English. If I could learn a different language it would be German.

Khloe Boylston (9) Pohnpei
ReplyDeleteWe are learning Pohnpeian, but don't know very much of it. We live in town where most people know at least a little English. I do not translate for my parents. I do not dream in Pohnpeian. I like the word "rahr". It rhymes with "car", but it reminds me of the word "roar" and means "coral".
Kierra Boylston (12) Pohnpei
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm learning Pohnpeian. I don't know it very well, but I have told my dad a couple of words. I've never dreamed in Pohnpeian. My favorite phrase is "I sto wewehki." The "t" makes a "tch" sound and the "h" makes the vowel held out longer. I like it because I think it sounds nice. It means "I don't understand", so I use it a lot. I am also learning sign language and I really enjoy that.
Kody Boylston (17) Pohnpei, FSM
ReplyDeleteWe are trying to learn Pohnpeian.
I have never translated for my parents.
I have never dreamed in Pohnpeian, but I have dreamed about not being able to remember a Pohnpeian word. One word that have always been able to remember is "singising". When I first learned it, having an English mindset, it sounded like the word "sing" being repeated. The word actually means passing gas.
Another language I would want to learn is Kosraen since Kosrae is another one of the states of the FSM (Federated States of Micronesia).
Kaleb Boylston (15) Pohnpei, FSM
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to learn Pohnpeian, but there aren't really any teachers available and the lady that was tutoring us got a job and doesn't have time now. I learn some words and phrases from my friends.
I have never translated for my parents, but my mom helps translate for me.
I have never dreamed in Pohnpeian, but I have dreamed that I was asking people to tell me how to say something in Pohnpeian, but no one could tell me.
Kyle Boylston (18) Pohnpei, FSM
ReplyDeleteWe are picking up a little of the Pohnpeian language "ekis ekis" (little by little).
I have never translated for my parents.
I have never dreamed in Pohnpeian.
I like the word "manaman" which means "power" or "strength". When I first learned it, I remembered it by seeing (man)a(man). Another interesting word is "salenge eni". It is used to mean "mushroom", but its literal meaning is "ear of monster".
I am also trying to learn Japanese online and would like to learn more just for fun. I just enjoy the way it sounds. It is interesting that several Pohnpeian words are actually variations of the Japanese words for the same thing.
Madelyn Peart, 15, Haiti
ReplyDeleteI speak Haitian Creole, but now that we have started a deaf ministry, I have to learn sign laguage too. We even sing in French sometimes as well. I don't have to translate for my parents, but I do translate for other visitors when they come. I also get to teach the Kid's Bible Club.
I live in Estonia, but we minister mostly to Russian speaking people. I am trying to learn Russian. I have never interpreted for my parents, and I only dream in English. I don't have a favorite word yet. Luke Smith-Estonia

ReplyDeleteYes, I'm learning German. I dream in English. I like saying, "Was ist deine Name?" (what's your name)

Kyndall (15) Germany
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm improving my German. I usually dream in English, but I have dreamt in German. My favorite words are Naturwissenschaft (Science) and Krankenwagon (ambulance).
Stephen Benefield, 10, Cambodia
ReplyDeleteI dream in English. I don't speak much Khmer, so I don't translate for my parents. Some of my favorite Khmer words are not really words, but are sound effects that Khmer people use when telling a story. Some of their noises sound so funny, like instead of saying beep beep or honk honk for a horn, they say ape ape. I would like to learn Russian.
Candace, 16, Cambodia
ReplyDeleteI dream in English except for one time one person in my dream was speaking Khmer. I never have to translate for my dad and only every once in a while for my mom. One of my favorite words is "toh" which means "let's go." I would like to learn American sign language.
Seth Benefield, 6, Cambodia
ReplyDeleteI don't know much Khmer. I like the word for Bible, which sounds like preah kompee. Someday I would like to learn French so I can talk to my friend in French. He speaks English, French, and Khmer.
Deborah Benefield, 15, Cambodia
ReplyDeleteI speak Khmer and have had a couple of dreams in Khmer. Three words that I like are "yap" (frustrating), "rapuh" (hyperactive; rowdy), and "chong-ee-it" (narrow, crowded). I like these words because they are so descriptive. I also like the phrase "see moung" which literally means "eating hours" and is used when someone is taking too long to do something.
I recently learned Cambodian Sign Language, and someday would like to learn American Sign Language and also Spanish.
Emerald Grace Benefield, 13, Cambodia
ReplyDeleteI speak Khmer. Occasionally I have to help my mom with a word. I don't think I've ever dreamed in Khmer. One phrase that cracks me up is "ngoap howey" (literally, "died already"). It is an expression of frustration kind of like "oh man!" or "good grief!"

I've spoken Indonesian in dreams, but I've never had a dream fully in Indonesian. One of my favorite words is "kismis" which means raisin (even though I don't like raisins) and my favorite phrase is "kasihan, dong" which (roughly) means "too bad, dude."
