Language What Languages do you know?

[DLord.Van.Buuren]

six is actually a fair amount , well looking at your age seems like you've done a good job but you know there is allways a room for more .

 

[blai]

Yeah, I want to learn Chinese, Dutch and Spanish. Need to know a lot of language if you're going to work with business.

I can speak English and Japanese. Although Japanese is the first language I've spoken, my English has become far more fluent. I can read up to sixth grade level kanji. ^^;

I've learnt French since elementary school, and I'm continuing to learn the language today. I can read and write but my speaking still needs a lot of work.

In the summer I'm taking Italian, but there are a lot of languages that I still want to learn. For example: Korean, German, Latin, and Finnish.

English, Spanish and Portuguese(my 1st language). I've studied English and Spanish in High School. I'm always studying. Who speak different languages want to learn more and more.

English
Mandarin Chinese- learning, but I can understand most of it because of random dramas
Cantonese - I speak it at home, so I'm quite fluent
Shanghainese (Chinese dialect spoken in Shanghai) - My mum is Shanghainese and I usually go to Shanghai every year, so I understand it all, but I can't speak it
Japanese - I can understand some phrases, and I'm trying to get my friend to teach me >.>
Korean - I can read it, but I have no idea what it means

Wow, this thread puts me to shame...;A;

I speak English fluently, as it's my native language, and I personally rate myself as "intermediate" in Japanese.

I've just started learning French, so I can do the basics. ("Hello/Where is the bus/Do you speak English", ect) and I would love to study Spanish (it's so pretty~~) and thai, because I'm trying to learn bits and pieces of it while I'm here. :3

Vow There are really many tallented people here. It's really great to know as many languages as possible, so it is really cool when a person knows from four to six languages and even more))
I'm not so talented, but I know English, Spanish.
Also I can understand and read Italian, Ukrainian and Belorussian, though I can't speak them.
The next year I really wanted to start learning Italian.

[Yusaku Jon 3]

English, of course. I do know a little bit of Japanese, as a result of my earlier attempts at learning the language in an attempt to self-translate various manga that I collected over the years. Also, I've had some exposure to Latin through a middle-school class that gave me some idea what Romance languages such as Spanish and Portugese are saying in writing. And finally, there was also a short French class.

Wow look at you yosaku !!!

 

[steelwingcrash1]

Filipino is my native tongue.

I'm fluent in American English not the British one.

I know very little Japanese (only few expressions because I watched anime when I was a kid)

English and Indonesian. Somehow I feel like English is also my native language since I used it as often as Indonesian, lol~

When I was in senior year in high school, the curriculum of the school changed middle of the school such that it now includes French as one of its minor subjects.

I never took my French class seriously because it was so hard. Plus, we started out so late already.

But I guess, I know a few words/sentences in French. Thanks to that class.

Adding Afrikaans to myself as I've taken an iNet course and refreshed my memory to the point where I once again can speak and write it! High five *clap* Yay!

 

[Mama Satsuki]

Fluent only in portuguese and english. Portuguese for I am brazillian, english for I like good-quality fanfiction, and Brazil has none to offer.

I also understand Spanish, but have difficulty in speaking it (clashes too much with portuguese, too many same-sound-different-meaning words for me)

I would say Japanese, but only when I've watched the anime times enough to remember what they are saying

Yeah, I guess that goes the same for me too. I was once "enthralled" with Nihongo (from watching anime at that point of my life) that I frequently wrote all the terms in a piece of paper and then memorized the words.

Fortunately, some of them still lingered in my mind. I guess, I can understand the basic sentence structure of Nihongo.

**********My French classes suck. I know some but it was definitely hard. xD
