Does Anyone Speaks A Different Language?
 
I speak very well with the Spanish language, and understand some of the words, whether I am reading them or listening to a conversation from a group of people.

I also have an understanding of Japanese and Tagolog, but I'm not exposed to them as much.

i'm learning French and i am going to start teaching myself German shortly.

I took three years of French but I can't speak it all or understand it when I hear it. :3 I can read it pretty good though. I know just enough to impress a few people.

^Hey this was my 100th post. Woot!

I'm a language student, so, yeah I know quite a few :)

I'm currently studying Swedish (my native tongue), English (technically finished), Japanese (technically finished), Icelandic, Spanish (also, technically finished), Greek, Latin, Tagalog, French, German and Korean

Even though I've finished some, and know some of them almost fluently, studying a language takes more than an entire lifetime. So that's why I continue to study

I'm also starting animation school in the end of this month XD gah...

I can speak a good deal of French. And I can speak very little Spanish.

I know mui paquito Espanol, but I can't write it (sorry :-[). I also know sign language, if that counts.

Nyo 09-10-2007 01:09 PM

Hmm...

English (native tounge) Italian (suck at it, and I have Italian ancestry >_<) and Japanese (a few words here and there).

LaBloo 09-11-2007 03:17 PM

Unfortunately, I speak only English and enough humpback whale to get by.

I also am fluent in Japanese. "Where is the bathroom desu ka?"

Any chance I can talk you into translating the conversation between the whales and the alien probe in Star Trek IV? :bloocross:

I'm fluent in English but that's it. Beyond that it's a smattering of words from other languages, nothing more.

Heh heh, "Paquito" is a name. Diminutive form of "Paco". :D :-/

See, told'ja I couldn't write it. *blushing* I figured I misspelled at least one of those words. Sorry. :-[

Frankly, I'm not the best at spelling, even in my own language (as I'm sure many have seen). I've always been stronger with numbers than letters. I'm "Left-brain dominant" or something like that. *shrug*

Being from a bilingual country, I had to learn French in school. I really hated the classes so much that I made a point to forget it all when I finished high school. Now I look at the friction between Quebec and the rest of Canada and can't help but feel guilty. :(
I've actually grown a desire to speak French but I just find it so hard to learn other languages. I tried to learn Japanese several years ago but I didn't get too far.

RocketBabyDoll 09-17-2007 03:50 AM

I speak German fluently (what a surprise), Italian (it's not perfect yet, but I'm still learning), some French and I'm forced to learn Latin and Greek soon.

Partymember 09-17-2007 05:04 PM

Rocket...you speak English too, right? :P

RocketBabyDoll 09-18-2007 01:55 AM

I was thinking about mentioning that, but I thought it was pretty obvious. 8D But you are right. English is actually the different language for me. :p

HappyFoppy 09-18-2007 04:25 AM

Well, Dutch (wink, vinny, wink), English, little French, very little Japanese*, and a bunch of Programming Languages.

*"Desu desu? Desu. Desu desu!" (no really, i know hiragana a bit)

YuckieDuck 09-18-2007 05:38 AM

My mother tongue is Finnish. In addition to Finnish and English, I can also speak Swedish (I have studied it for two years) and some German (studied for one year).

Cassini90125 09-18-2007 07:04 AM

Kudos to all of you for using English better than most of our native speakers. :)

Kippixel 09-19-2007 03:19 PM

I speak very disjoined italian, and can usually understand anything people say. Meh.

ptps 09-20-2007 08:54 AM

I fail at life for only knowing English. =__= My Chinese sucks, and the only Japanese I know come from watching anime, and sushi restaurant menus.
