I need to study, in five languages

The sentence, how to say it, and the version a native speaker would actually use — which in most of these is not the literal one.

1

The literal translation is rarely the one you want

English says "I need to study". Spanish and Italian reach for "I have to", French for "I must revise", Japanese for a double negative that works out as "if I do not study, it will not do". Each page gives both the word-for-word version and the one people say, because knowing only the first is how you end up correct and slightly strange.

2

Learn the pattern, not the sentence

"I need to X" is one construction per language, and swapping the verb gives you a hundred more sentences for free. Necesito dormir, je dois partir, 食べなきゃ. Each page shows the shape rather than only the example.

3

Then study the words

Vocabulary is the one subject where flashcards are not a study aid but the method itself. Every language here has free public sets — the verbs, the everyday phrases, and the alphabet where there is one to learn.
