Ask questions

If you're learning a language, we're sure you have lots of questions about the language.
The good news is:

lots of people probably have the same question as you,
lots of other people are willing to help answer your questions!

We recommend:

Spend some time to think of a good question.
Search for questions as well. Get a sense of what type of questions are useful and will get responses.
Answer questions in your own language as well. This is a way of giving back to the community.

When you ask a question, you will be able to add additional information to clarify your question; however, you can not edit your original question. While the question is still open (ie within 14days of initially being asked, with no ‘best answer’ having been chosen), respondents can edit their answer. This may help respondents more accurately answer the question after it has been clarified by the asker.

Members can also now vote as to whether questions as related to language learning or not related. Three votes indicating it’s related to language learning will move it into a category of “Educational questions.” Members can then decide if they only want to see educational questions related to language learning. We hope this will help those who are focused on language studies more easily access relevant questions, while giving others a chance to ask cultural and similar questions on the side.

There is now a quick “Ask a question” button on the right side of every Answers page, so you can ask questions more quickly and easily.

Answers is not the place to discuss religion, politics, nor social issues. Those can be discussed in groups. Answers is for language related questions only.

Community Members appreciate all the answers they can get, so we welcome you to volunteer your knowledge and expertise to help answer questions. Please stay focused on the question and avoid engaging in political discussions or other defamatory conversations.

You may not delete your answer once its posted. You can only Edit it. You can also answer the same question more than once.
