Languages

[Galeed]

I speak bits and pieces of a lot of different languages, but I'm most fond of German and am becoming fluent. I need to go back and continue learning the others, though. I really regret stopping my Hebrew studies

 

[JoJoButterfly]

English is my first language and only fluent, however I love learning new languages but I'm bad at learning new languages. I used to be decent at French, knew a little Latin, some Japanese, and recently took American Sign Language (yes it is a foreign language) and still learning it. Interstingly my prospective career is speech- language pathology

My friends and I have made up a few of our own languages(simple derivitives of english) so I suppose i speak like 4 languages or so but nothing other than english that would get me anywhere lol. i have a tiny tiny bit of spanish- i can order food well and probly survive with smiple basics. i love languages, i am sort of personally exploring italian currently and i would adore to speak many more- its the dedication and time i need to put towards it that will count.

 

[Misnomer]

Semi-fluent in French, know a decent amount of Spanish (read it and understand it better than I can speak it), know a few phrases and such in Dutch and German.

I'm a language nut I just never have the time to practice.

 

[Alessandra]

Fluent in English and Italian, know quite a bit of Greek, Cypriot and Macadonian and a smattering of German.

Alessandra,

You wouldn't happen to have meditteranean ancestorship in yourself would you - cos if that's your pic (which is AMAZING by the way) it wouldn't surprise me

Hey, hoe gaat het met u? I am into Dutch and also Scottish Gaelic, I'm kinda fluent in French, I'm a complete language nut and would like to speak every single language on the planet, if I had enough space inside my head. Anyway, I speak English, French, some Dutch and Scottish Gaelic, some German, would be interested in learning Swedish and/or Norwegian.

Ciao!

I'm starting to learn a bit more German, cos my future bf's family are german, and his grandpa converses better and understands more when I speak it - we're going down to his family's house in September, so I pray I can be understood then!

His parents understand and speak both also - so I'm sure me learning it would impress them (even though they like me all ready)...

I like learning languages too. I speak three dialects of Chinese though not very well. I took three years of Spanish in high school. I dabbled around with some Swedish, Norwegian and Danish. Those three are very similiar and were easy to pick up. I really need to get back into learning mode again. lol

 

[stonetoflesh]

English of course... some Spanish, some French, and some bad words in Hindi. I'd love to learn German, but can't seem to fit any community college classes into my work schedule

 

[swordsman]

I can also speak Serbian and Romanian

I've done french for a while too, but I've lost quite a bit of it. I'd understand about 50% of a french conversation.

One day, I'd like to learn a language that's ot quite as popular....like icelandic. don't ask me why

 

[Wolc]

English is my third language. First being Finnish and second being Swedish.
If you ask me I'm fluent in all three.
On top of that I know a little German and a little Japanese. Would be nice to learn those two a bit better though

 

[AndrewDas]

English is my first language, but I can speak hindi, and a tiny bit of bengali

 

[Bluelighted]

I can read French, but not really speak it or write it. All that schooling down the drain!

 

[Wonky]

Ben...je parle francais. Not very well, but not badly either. I'm entering 4th year French next year and I plan on minoring in it.

I can also understand some Spanish. I know a few words in Hebrew (ken, loh, Ima, Abba, ben, etc.) and German. And I am fluent in English (obviously), both American and British .

 

[john14v6]

English is my primary language, though I know some french and very little (b/c it's been about eight years) spanish.

 

[Rivard]

French is my primary language. (French Canadian)

I'm relatively good in english.

Know some basic in spanish.

 

[Meghan]

English (obviously) and American Sign Language that I'm pretty fluent in (I started learning when I was five... so I've had some practice). I took 3 years of Spanish, but sadly got very little out of it. My sister is a peace corp volunteer in Kenya, and she told me about this lanuage Kenyan teenagers use... It's a combination of English, Ki-Swahili (sp?) and... um, some other African language. Older Kenyans can't even understand it. Just thought that was cool. Takes slang to a new level.

 

[LiberatedChick]

My first language is English. I can speak, read and write some French.

 

[ajuran]

hallo. freut mich, dass so viele von euch deutsch lernen. warum eigentlich? wenn ihr wollt, können wir hier ja ein deutsches café aufmachen.

ok, ok. i don´t want to bother all the others, who aren´t firm in german.

englisch is my second language, but by now i think i´m fluent. and german, off course, is my motherlanguage. i never had the chance to take other language courses in school, but i love to learn languages. when i go in a country for holidays or mission trips i always learn at least: hello, what´s your name, good evening etc. - but normally i forget it to soon.

i speak a little bit of kisuaheli (kenya, tanzania), understand some dutch and afrikaans, and yes - can speak in tongues.
