- So...I saw Eragon the other night. Honestly, I will say that I was not impressed. (Though,
psychicninja, I will wholeheartedly agree in that I basically want a baby!Saphira ^___^) Like, it was cool, and I basically would concede to having consensual sex with Murtaugh LOLZ, but it just wasn't up to par on so many levels. Imean, the acting was okay (zomg

Is not literal, that will be great, is just ... made by a 15 years old girl, and this was her first translation. So it end it up realy bad... she translated the names, the romanian gramm sais that you never, but never translate the names. If a char name is Snape that will be Snape not Plesneala ( by the why this is realy hilarious in romanian, imagine a wizard like Snape whit the most lame name in the world.)
English ... well I think is obvious that I suck at english :P, I know so ... but if you understand me that's OK :D. I study english in high-school, that's 4 years. And that was all :D. In general ppl from Romanian speak ... romanian :D, but we are realy great on langueges , I actualy have a degree in franch. And most of my friends have degree in various langueges, including english.

Like, it was actually translated by a 15 year old girl, or it seems like it? And OMG LOL. That just completely takes away from Snape’s whole character. Imean just his name seems foreboding. I don’t think I can imagine him with any other… But you said you do read HP in English, right? Why don’t you just translate them to Romanian yourself, for yourself? It’d probably be clearer for you, wouldn’t it?
You don’t suck. For a second language, I think you have a fairly firm grasp on it, considering how complicated it is (learning all the rules and spellings! D: God, that’d suck). (You’ve only studied it for four years??? O.O Damn, girl, I don’t think I’d be nearly as proficient after only four years…). What’s the most difficult about English for you, personally? I’m curious ;)
Ah, I’m about to start taking French ^_^
Tee hee, this is like the coolest conversation ever. xD I’m sorry, I’m just infinitely curious about this kind of stuff ^^;

You should cool done, I mean the book is not even in Romania, and I don't think I have a chance in the next 2 years so ... I have to wait, right now everyone is fixed on DH.
I know is hard to belive be yes she was 15. I did transleted for my self after the shock of GOF (first HP book I read) I start making my one translation. It was to hard to see the names of great wizard tortured in that way.
*blush* Thank you , I know I'm bad at english but as long as you understand what I want to say , that's OK :D. Actualy is my third languege , my second is the beautifull language from Russia :-". The most difficult ...hmm... that will chatspeak :)) (joking ... even if I have to be honest I realy don't understand english chatspeak :P) ... The most difficult is gramm, is even harder that latin if you can imagine that. I'm use to the fact that what you hear is what you write like in romanian, but in english what you hear is never what you write.
That make two .. because is by far the best conversation that I had on Lj whit someone :)

LOL yeah I know... I'm just excited and excited for you. Was it difficult getting a publisher to publish the book, or was it fairly simple?
Wow, you know Russian? *melts* It's such a pretty language... I have some relatives who are Russian and even their accents are pretty ^.^
Omg I can only imagine how difficult learning to spell English as a second (or in your case, third) language would be D: There are so many grammar rules and odd spellings... The phonetics in English are so messed up, it's ridiculous xP
YAY! *hugs*

If It was difficult to find a publisher? Very, but as I said this is not the first thing I publish. To be honest this is just a pre-contract, so nothing is sure for now.
I hate english gramm rules ( sorry but I do). As you can imagine romanian has her rules to, but is realy simple to write. What you hear is what you write and that makes it so much simple. That is why I studied russian, because has the same simple rule : what you write is what you hear ( as soon you learn the alphabet :P)

LOL so does everyone else who studies the language (myself included xD). I find them both interesting (probably only because I'm a native speaker lulz) and ridiculous. All the different sounds, spellings, and rules... God it must be a bitch to learn LOL.
And don't worry about late replies. It doesn't bother me at all, I'm just happy for your concsientiousness.
