How does one properly do word order when speaking? I'm utter shit with it in German, even though I've noticed that it's similar to Japanese at times, a language I can fluently speak. My mouth seems to always prefer a more English order. Does anybody have any tips for this kind of thing?

Has anyone here tried to learn a LOT of languages?
I mean, like those polyglots who speak 10+ languages, or those who go around the street hitting up on foreigners and starting up conversations, because they speak several dialects and shit.

I highly doubt those people are actually competent in more than 5 or 6 of those languages, but I do think it could be quite fun to learn a bit of several languages for the purpose of better grasping how different languages approach different things.

I am actively studying Japanese and French daily.

And I wanted to learn some basic Chinese, for instance, to understand how tones work, but I don't want it to get in the way of my actual learning of Japanese and French. Is it possible to study "casually" just so you can pidgin a few sentences should you meet a native?

By the way, it's "Arranha-céu", literally skyscraper. Guess the image is strong enough to propagate throughout most languages.

Gökdelen, which has a really close meaning to skyscraper.

Grattacielo, which is the literal translation
Gratta = scrape
Cielo = sky

Or maybe because they were first built in America, hence the naming.
