Serbisch lernen: Kako da učiš bolje srpski jezik



[I transcribed Alex Rawlings' "How to learn better Serbian" YouTube video and let Nataša, a native speaker of Serbian, correct the grammar. Here's the result for "Serbisch lernen" reference.]

Zdravo svima! Zovem se Alex i hoć
U danas sa dA vam kažem kako možete na učite bolje srpski jezik u inostranstvu

Ja sam iz Engleske
I nikada nisam živeO u Srbiji, ali bio sam tamo nekoliko puta, ali samo za tri ili četiri dana ali mnogo volim srpski jezik i učim ga pošto hoću da se vratim u Srbiju... Na odmoR

1. Imati srpske prijatelje 

Ako hoće
Š dobro da učiš jezik, treba ti vežba. Moraš da vežbaš malo jezik svaki dan. Ja imam mnogO srpskIH prijatelja koji pomažu mi sa sprskom jezikom i mogu svaki dan da vežbam malo na Fejsbuku ili Skypu (ili kako dan, you don“t need this) ili samo pišemo emails. 

Srpski jezik ima mnogo
slenga, znači tebi treba ta pitaš srpskE prijateljE kako da kažeŠ to, kako da kažeŠ drugo i ovako možeš bolje da učiš kako pričaju u Srbiji.

2. Kupiti dobre knjige 

Nažalost nema mnogo srpski
H knjiga ali možeš nekoliko tako kupiš. Ova knjiga se zove Više od reći i ona je srpska knjiga iz srbije iz od Instituta za StranE JezikE u Beogradu. Ja radim sa ovOM knjigOM pošto mislim da je dobra i ima sve na ćirilici i LATINICI znači možeš dobro da učiš srpski na dobrOm nivoU.

Ova takođe
je dobrA knjiga sa srpski jezik ali je malo velika takođe. Nisam radio  sa ovom knjigom (pošto ne znam zašto, becouse, I don“t know why). 

Ali mnog
i, mnogi su mi rekli da je dobra. Na internetu takođe ima mnogo da čitaš. Ovo je National geographic iz Srbije i jedan drug Richard Simcott mi je kupio ovo u Skopju (mislim, I think)  i ja sam čitao malo National geographic na srpskom da učim bolje

3. Putovati vozom u Srbiji 

Mislim na najbolji savet
da učiš bolje srpski je da ideš u Srbiju i da putuješ u vozu. U Srbiji ljudi pričaju i upoznaju se u vozu i možeš dobro da vežbaš srpski jezik. 

Ja sam bio jedan put
u Srbiji kada nisam dobro razumem srpski jezik, ali putovao sam ceo dan u vozu. Pričao sam sa sa Srbima, oni su mi rekli mnogo o Srbiji, oni su mi pomogli sa srpskim jezikom i posle puta pričao sam bolje na srpskom i ne znam mislim da je odličan savet za tebe ako hoćeš da učiš bolje srpski.

Hvala vama i
svaka čast.

"How to learn better Serbian"
Hello everybody! My name is Alex
and today I want to tell you
how to learn better Serbian abroad.
I'm from England and I have
never lived in Serbia.  
I have been there a few times
but only for three or four days.
I really like Serbian.
I'm learning it because I want to 
go back to Serbia on holiday.

1. "Have Serbian friends"
If you want to learn a language well,
you need practice.
You have to practice it every day.
I have lots of Serbian friends
who helped me with Serbian,
so I can practise a bit every day
on Facebook or Skype,
or we just write emails.
Serbian has a lot of slang
so you have to ask your Serbian friends
how to say this, how to say that,
like that you can learn better how they speak in Serbia.

2. "Buy good books"
Unfortunately there aren't a lot of
books for Serbian
but you can buy some.
This book is called „Vise od Reci“,
this is a Serbian book from Serbia
from the Belgrade Institute for Foreign Languages.
I work with this book
because I think it's good,
it has everything in Cyrillic and Latin
so you can learn Serbian to a good level.
This is also a good book for Serbian
but it's a bit large.
I haven't worked much with this book
because ...
I don't know!
Lots of people have told me it's good.
On the internet there's a lot to read too.
This is National Geographic Serbian.
A friend of mine, Richard Simcott, bought
me this in Skopje,
so I've read a bit of this in Serbian
to learn a bit better!

3. "Travel by train in Serbia"
I think the best tip for learning better Serbian
is to go to Serbia
and travel around by train.
In Serbia people speak on trains
and get to know each other.
You can really practise your Serbian there!
I once went to Serbia when
I didn't understand Serbian well
but I travelled for a whole day on a train.
I spoke to the Serbs.
They told me lots of things about Serbia.
They helped me with my Serbian.
After the journey I spoke better Serbian!
I think this is a great tip
if you want to learn better Serbian!
Thanks and good luck!

Thanks for watching!

Lost in Papua: Excerpt Transcript in Indonesian, English, German, and Mandarin

I'm practicing my listening comprehension and translation skills by transcribing dialogue from movies or video clips. Here's a two-minute section from the Indonesian movie "Lost in Papua". Dialogue in Indonesian without subtitles. First I transcribed the dialogue and then translated it into English, German, and Mandarin. 

=====
Lost in Papua
[around 34:00]

Papuan man:
Apa benar kalian akan pergi ke sana?
[Is it true that all of you are going there?]
{Ist es wahr, dass ihr dort fahren werdet?}
你們要去那裡,真的嗎?

Ebie:
Betul, bapa. Saya sendiri yang akan dampingi Nadia, Meri dan Zabo untuk pergi ke hutan itu.
[Yes, "father". I myself will accompany Nadia, Meri and Zabo to go to the jungle.]
{Ja, "Vater". Ich werde Nadia, Meri und Zabo in den Dschungel begleiten.}
對,叔叔。我會陪 Nadia, Meri Zabo 進去森林。

Papuan man:
Saya mengajari kamu tentang etnografi Papua. Juga tentang bahasa dari suku-suku yang ada di pedalaman sana. Tetapi itu tidak berarti bahawa saya juga, yang menyuruh kamu harus pergi ke sana.
[I taught you about Papuan ethnography. Also about the languages of the tribes that exist in the interior. But that doesn't mean that I, am saying that you have to go there.]
{Ich habe dich die Papua-Ethnographie beigebracht. Gleichfalls über die Sprachen der Stämme, dass im Innern wohnen. Aber dann sage ich nicht, dass du dort fahren musst.}
我教過你 Papua 的民族志。還有住在內部的民族語言。但是我沒有說你須要去那裡。

Ebie:
Saya tahu itu, bapa. Tapi sekarang saya sudah cukup dewasa. Saya bertanggungjawab terhadap satu keluarga. Dan kali ini, saya sudah putuskan bahawa saya harus pergi ke sana untuk cari tahu khabar tentang saya punya "Omjohn". Apa lagi sekarang Meri juga ingin pergi ke sana. Saya tidak mungkin biarkan Meri pergi sendiri.
[I know that, "father". But now I'm already an adult. I'm responsible for a family. And this time, I've decided that I must go there to find out news about my "Omjohn". What more now Meri also wants to go there. I can't possibly let Meri go alone.]
{Es weiß ich, "Vater". Aber jetzt bin ich genug erwachsen. Ich bin für eine Familie verantwortlich. Und diesmal habe ich entschieden, dass ich dort fahren muss. Weil ich die Nachrichten über mein "Omjohn" herausfinden will. Außerdem Meri auch dort hinfahren will. Ich kann nicht sie alleine fahren lassen.}
叔叔,我知道。不過現在我夠大了。我對家庭有責任。這一次,我決定要去那裡找我的 Omjohn 的消息。還有 Meri 也要去。我不甘心給她自己去。

Papuan man:
Di dalam hutan Boven Digul itu masih ada mitos. Ada perkampungan yang seluruh penghuninya itu terdiri daripada kaum perempuan. Dan sampai saat ini tidak seorang pun yang pernah lihat mereka. Seperti apa aktivitas hidup mereka, tidak ada yang pernah tahu. Tapi yang pasti, bahawa mereka itu masih hidup sangat primtif. Jadi kalian harus hati-hati apabila kalian pergi ke sana dan bertemu dengan mereka. Sebab, saya tidak tahu apa yang akan terjadi. Sebaiknya kalian tinggal di perkampungan suku Korowai. Kerana di sana kalian akan lebih aman daripada kalian harus hidup di hutan yang masih liar dan misteri ini. Saya pun tidak tahu apa yang akan terjadi. [Pauses, shakes head, stands up and leaves.]
 
[In the Boven Digul jungle there are still myths. There are villages where all the inhabitants are women. And until now (until this second in time) nobody has ever seen them. Such as what their life activities are, nobody has ever known. But for sure, they still live a very primitive life. So all of you must be very careful when you go there and meet them. Because, I don't know what will happen. Best if you stay at the Korowai tribal village. Because there you will be safer (more peaceful) than if you have to live in the wild and mysterious forest. I also don't know what's going to happen.]

{Im Dschungel von Boven Digul gibt es noch Mythos. Es gibt Dörfer, wo alle Einwohner weiblich sind. Niemand hat bisher schon mal gesehen. Zum Beispiel, was sind ihre Lebensaktivitäten, niemand weiß. Aber sicher leben sie immer noch ein sehr primitives Leben. Also müsst ihr vorsichtig sein, wenn ihr dort fahrt, und mit ihnen trifft. Weil ich weiß nicht, was passieren wird. Am besten bleibt ihr im Dorf von die Korowai-Stamm. Weil dort ihr mehr sicher seid als im wilden und geheimnisvollen Dschungel wohnen. Ich weiß nicht, was passieren wird.}

Boven Digul 森林還有神話。有鄉村,居民全部是女性。到現在沒有人看過她們。不過好限定,她們的生活還是很落後。所以你們去那裡認識她們一定要很小心。因為我不知道什麼會發生。最好你們住在 Korowai 族的鄉村。因為哪裡你們會比較安全過住在野蠻和秘密的森林。我不知道什麼會發生。
