Languages

[BrianM84]

God is a God of all tongues, so what other languages does everybody speak? Or perhaps English may be a second language to someone? Which ever the case it'd be interesting to see.

For me, being raised Croatian with parents from there who moved to Canada when they were younger...it was easy learning to speak Croatian, it's all my parents knew when they moved to Canada! If anything, learning english was harder for me.

I probably speak more Croatian than English most of my days, which is not typical for somebody who was born and raised in Canada. And to add some spin to this question, is anybody fluent in a different language?

English (Obviously)

Moderate: Spanish, German, Japanese
Very Little: French, Romanian, Hebrew, Greek, Thai

 

[Raanan]

I know a couple arabic words and some spanish though no where near fluent with my spanish. I've always wanted to learn other languages but the states doesn't require it and my high school didn't offer much. If I have the credit hours, I'll see about taking it up in college

[Silver Speak]

English is my second language, Finnish being the first. I´ve studies English since third grade, though... I can also speak Swedish pretty well. I used to study German... for 5 years or so but got tired of it and quit... I regret it now coz I can hardly recall twenty words; I wish I hadn´t given up, but maybe one day I´ll start learning again.

 

[Raanan]

[oncewaslost]

english

i speak very bad french. i'm sure the french would be insulted with not only my american accent but my limited ability in it. i understand it pretty well though.

also, when i'm in germany i can understand it but that's the extent of my knowledge. i can say yes, no, good luck, good night, i can sing part of a song in german(not sure what song it is though), i know the word for glue, and sadly i know a few curse words.

i can pick up some spanish but i'm pretty much lost when i hear it.

that's it!

lol, this might be a little rough around the edges:

Hvor er puben nær?

En malbu og en lemonade vær så snill

haha, I have NO idea how to say lemonade in Norsk, sorry

 

[Pope Gonzo]

I'm a German minor at school, but never having been in the country(or in any German-speaking area other than the classroom), I'm not the greatest. But I enjoy it

 

[Grace_of_God]

I am fluent in both English and French.

 

[God Loves]

English is my first language and I'm majoring in Spanish if I can work in the study abroad and not have to spend too much extra time at college.

 

[makkulu]

I speak some German and Japanese, they were my majors at Uni. I'm rusty since that was a while ago now lol. I know a few sentences in French (enough to get by as a tourist in Montreal), and am just starting to learn Indonesian. Woohoo it is my new hobby. I have some friends in Indonesia who are sorta tutoring me.

Makk

 

[Blank123]

I'm a language nut

I know enough french, that I could probably get along okay if I were in Quebec, but I am not fluent yet. I am learning also German and Spanish. and I have just taken the insane step to learning both biblical Hebrew & Greek. I'm gonna be busy this year
