I try to learn a little bit of as many languages as possible. I think culture is a great thing, and I find languages extremely fascinating.
I speak native English, fluent Japanese, and enough French and German to get into trouble..
I can speak my native language, my neighbor’s to the west language, to the east, and to the south, and a little Greek.
So, three and a half.
English and German i was taught at school but i learned to speak them when on holidays in Europe whenever i met with English and or Germans.
The little Greek i know, i learned it in Greece of all places….
Only English, but I can also sign.
English, some Spanish and Cantonese
Spanish, English, pretty good Italian, pretty rusty German.
> English (Scottish; native speaker, 3 dialects)
> French (8 years at school + 2 at uni – I used to be B2, but I’ve not spoken or worked on my French for more than 10 years)
> Japanese – (B1 w/ A2 and B2 elements, 6 years. My wife is Japanese; her English is pretty poor)
> Spanish (A2, three months) – because I studied Latin for 8 years at school, I find Spanish pretty straightforward.
- Bahasa = My national language.
– Chinese(Tiong hoa tribe) = Parents. Most Chinese people in my country are from Tiong hoa lineage/tribe. The other minority are from Mandarin and Cantonese tribes.
– Mandarin = Parents (Dad’s family are Mandarin people).
– Cantonese = Parents (Mom’s family are Cantonese people).
– English = I study English myself,and I also took several English classes while I was a child.
I can only write in Bahasa and English.
My native language is English, but at a young age my father had me learn Spanish, so I fluent in that. I’ve picked up a few Russian phrases that would probably get me killed at a club ( I have a Russian friend). I learned a bit of creol from my great grandmother when I was little.
English – totally fluent.
French – can read better than speak
German – can count to 20, and know some words and phrases.
Spanish – I have Sesame Street Spanish. I can count to 10 and say a few words.
I can speak and write English and French. I can eavesdrop in German and Hebrew and speak them enough to get myself into trouble but certainly not out.
I’m fluent in English. I can somewhat speak Spanish—I took a couple college classes in it, but my skills have rusted since then, and I’m much better at reading it than listening/speaking. And I’ve picked up a little bit of Japanese from spending way too much time watching subtitled anime.
I speak English. I can talk a little in German.. I took that in high school
English, French and German from childhood. I can make myself understood in Arabic, Urdu and Tagalog (Philippino), learned those in the Army. I can read and write fairly good Latin, from school.
English, and I can sign the alphabet and several (mostly useless) words in ASL. I mean, how often am I going to need to sign “queen” or “ketchup”? I know probably 15 words in French, and fewer than that in Spanish. I suck.
I’m trying to learn Ebonics, Gangsta and words ending in izzle,
so I can have “Street Cred”. . .
I am so envious… And, impressed.
I speak English. That’s about it.
You all are cool!
