Foreign Languages

[Nani]

I know a decent amount of Spanish (though I'm usually too embarassed to actually use it with native speakers) and an ever-improving level of English. I also have a basic knowledge of chatspeak, 1337, and pig-latin.

I'd love to know a bit of German, simply because it is the most awesome-looking language ever, but sadly my high school doesn't offer it. Ah well...

Ohh I know a few words in Iraqi Arabic lol, I spend my boring english lessons teaching my friend rude turkish words and he teaches me rude arabic ones back.

I speak English and Spanish fluently. I know some Italian, French (I can understand some based on simliarity to Spanish), and some Farsi. I really want to learn Basque. Really bad.

[DM was on fire!]

I can speak some Japanese, Spanish and French. But nothing fluently, though.

Nandeyanen (Japanes, literally, for Why)? No clue.

[SpiraLethe]

I'm fluent in English and Chinese. I took a few years of French a while back and one semester of Ancient Greek.

I learned French for four years and am already forgetting it rapidly! I can semi-speak Cantonese and Mandarin although my reading and writing is atrocious, which is why I'm learning it again. I understand 50% of what my grandmother says in Shanghainese, though it's the more basic 50% without the substance. >_<

I always did well in my foriegn language classes; those were the ones I got the highest grades in. I took 3 years of Spanish and 4 years of French. I know a few smatterings of Latin and Greek just because I frequently research the origins of various words I come across. I wanted to take Japanese but no schools in my area offered the classes.
I was really into the Japanese culture and anime and everything about the orient back then, I didn't know what half my clothes said on them,lol. But I guess it was more of a fad/novelty of the time. Eventually I just decided to make up whatever I liked instead of trying to scramble to understand and be trendy with an entire civilization.

Dutch (I'm from Belgium )
French, that's the second language in Belgium
German, it's a lot like Dutch

Learning: Latin, Sindarin and Spanish
I never realised I am learning 7 languages

Tagalog and Spanish.

It's inevitable that someone will ask, "where the heck is 'Tagalog' from?", so I'll answer by saying that it's widely spoken in the Philippines, an island nation south of Japan, and the native land of my mother's side of the family.

*raises hand and jumps up and down* ooh ooh ooh! maybe I can practice on you! then again, maybe not... but i CAN count to ten now!

I am a native English speaker, I can struggle through reading in Spanish most of the time but can rarely compose sentences (I took a year and a half in school), took a year of German and basically can't remember any of it, and can throw out random phrases in Swahili (maybe 100 words?), Tagalog (up to like 20 words now, thanks to my self-defense class), and a very few individual words in probably 5-6 more languages that I am not going to bother listing, except Sindarin
(PS lara--- *points to my neousername*)

My husband and I have decided that we're going to find a CD or book or lesson program to learn tagalog... it was a group decision... but if it was just myself I would continue on the swahili.

[Yoshi]

This is my seventh and last year of learning French. Can't say I'm too fluent, but I'm a lot better reading it than saying it. Based on class practice, I can kinda hold conversations though.

I'm mostly fluent in Cantonese since that's my first language, but English is far more fluent. Can understand minimal bits of Mandarin by bending sounds, based on the one year of it I learned. However, I'm terrible with Chinese characters and have a very limited vocabulary, so my reading sucks.

Next year, I'm going for Japanese and Spanish. Maybe someday I'll pick up my real native language and culture, Teochew, cause the only phrase I know in that dialect is "I don't understand what you're saying." Wow, that's kinda sad...and I've never even been in that province.

[Doopku-Poland]

I can speak... POLISH ! hehehe...

[Divine]

Learned French for 7 years (like Yoshi), I'm pretty good at it I think. I also know Cantonese, but I don't consider that foreign, just as I wouldn't consider English foreign.

[Kuri]

I can speak French and Japanese, besides English of course.

[Da_bouncer666]

I speak english first then japanese
