Al bhed? :(
The only language I speak fluently is English, but I can carry on basic conversation in and understand a lot of Cantonese. My Mandarin is much much worse by comparison but I do occasionally pick up the gist of what someone might be saying. I can also quite confidently tell people "I don't understand" and "I don't speak Mandarin" in Mandarin (wo bu dong / wo bu jang guo yu). I can say some other stuff too, mostly work-related things because most of the people who speak Mandarin around me happen to be my workmates.
I spent 4 years of high school learning German. I don't remember too much. But the other day I realised I could still count. I am also especially fond of the word for "sports team" (Mannschaft)
Also in high school, I did 2 years of Latin and half a year of French and Ancient Greek.
And this year I start Japanese.
Where the hell do you live mon? Your English is like those of an average American mon! :eek:
I am actually Chinese mon, but somehow, my parents got me English-educated by conversing in English with my relatives and Cantonese on the mother's side since none of them speaks fluent English mon. My parents say I cry when they get me to learn Chinese when I was small mon. I can't believe I'd choose English over my mother tongue mon. Well, until now, I still do mon. I only started to really learn Chinese when I enter Primary school(or elementary). And I can't believe my dad sent me to a Chinese school so that I can learn to be selfish, but on the other hand, I was more kind to help people than I was as a kid mon. But, had I went to another school, I might never learn how to speak Chinese mon.
Being I-think-slightly-better than my friends in English(due to good education background), I gladly offer help to them whenever they need it mon. But I am actually in doubt whether they are thinking me as more of the true teacher than the one teaching us mon. I have once asked some of my friends "Teacher and me, who would you choose to teach you?" and they actually said they'd choose me over the teacher anytime mon. I was like "WTF? YOU THINK ME IS DEMIGOD OF ENGLISH?" but then they said that I am not the kind of person who would suddenly go berserk and just simply explain stuff to the students mon. They say I give them an in-depth explaination whenever they ask for my help mon. And now, when they have problems in English, they'd choose me as the primary source of answers, explanations, word recommendations for essays and homework copying mon.
Why am I posting my retarded being-elite-in-English-gives-you-15-minutes-of-fame-or-more-and-also-in-Japanese-tutorial-classes life mon? Guess I was bored. Mon.
You should probably know that saying "mon" with such consistancy that you end every sentence with it, and in one case make it its own sentence, makes you look more ignorant than funny. I'm not sure what exactly your goal with it is, but you probably shouldn't do it as much. Everything should be done in moderation.
I speak perfect English, have been studying German for three years in school, have been studying French for three months (but I'm going to drop it at the end of the year, and promptly forget it) and very, very, very little Japanese. The kind you pick up from fansubs and your older sister who has been studying Japanese for 4 years.
I also know one sentence in Polish, but I can't spell it.
English is my native language. I can speak some Japanese due to 4 years of classes (I'm YTDN's big sis), but even less French despite 5 years of classes. I also know a tiny bit of Polish, due to my mum's family being Polish.
Well, I can read alot of Latin from taking the class, but I can speak Spanish pretty good. Only in my second year of learning it, but I am pretty good.
English I know how speak good. I speak Spanish as well, but my pronunciation of some words could be better. I'd like to learn Portuguese and Japanese as I plan on going to Brazil and Japan in the future.
I speak English.
