Help I need Language!

Help! I Can't Language Good!

Do you need some help with another language?
Do you know how to read / write a language that isn't modern English, and want to help your fellow anon?
If so, this is the place for you.

How this works:
  • You don't need to be anon when you are offering language aid.
     
  • When offering language aid, post a comment saying what language you will helping out with
    • Put the language you want to help out in in the subject line
       
  • Only one language per thread please. "I can help out with French and Vietnamese," for example is wrong. French and Vietnamese should go into two separate comments.
     
  • If you are requesting spelling, semantic or grammar aid in another language you must remain Anonymous.
     
  • You may post a comment requesting language aid, providing you do it in anon mode and there isn't already a thread going on for that language.
     
  • If there is already an aid thread for your desired language going, don't start a new comment asking for help unless you posted to that existing thread, and haven't received a response in 7 days
     
  • Please stick to the topic at hand (language aide). This isn't the place for chit chat.
     
  • If you have had experience with a particularly good online language resource that actually works than feel free to link it here as a reply to the first comment.
    • In the subject line, state what language it is and try to describe what the resource does.
    • Links to resources go in the comment area.
     
  • No pimped out fonts or embedded videos are allowed. They will be deleted.
     
  • Just a note. If you do have phrases in other languages in your fills, it's only polite to include a translation in English at the bottom of your fill somewhere.

Sorry about the last one, accidental post.

Right.

Um... Yes, buddy is... 'Mate' I suppose would be the English equivalent, but, though it is possible to call your male kids that, it's sort of something I couldn't see England calling them, as it's more often used to someone your own age...

Uh... At the moment the only thing I can think is 'Arkid', but, again, I doubt England would use that as that's Manc slang, and 'bach' which is Welsh slang...

Kid? Some people call their children 'kid'. Like as in 'you alright kid?', which I can kinda see England doing because it's sort of really awkward sounding.
