I can speak basic Spanish.
I can speak fluent Latin, German, French, Spanish and Dutch. I know Sign Language. I can read Gaulish, Italian, and Portugese. I am learning Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Romanian, and Greek. I know a little be of the Afrikaan language.
Oh and English. I can speak that kinda.
english is a foreign language for me :p
I can speak german, english, spanish, french, portuguese... :p that's all
EDIT: Abnd like four words in arabic, Owie taught me :D
A bit of french, and of course, min svävare är full av ålar.
Welsh is easy, you just point and say the english word in a very welshy voice
I know a little French from French 1, and veeeeeery little Japanese (As in, the kind that you pick up from watching shows in Japanese).
I also know English o:
I know very basic Japenese. But, I'm still learning more.
English is my other language. I think I'm doing pretty well at it. Norwegian is my native language, and I know enough German to make myself understood.
I'd jump on the bandwagon and say "I know a bit Japanese too", but I don't really think random words picked up from Japanese shows is enough.
I speak English, Arabic and Kurdish (I bet no one heard of this), I know some little Japanies, and like 7 words of portuguese (Ice Angel is teaching me :cool:).
I taught myself english at home by reading and translating. I learned english basics here, in EOFF. lol
I'd like to learn, Korian, more Japanies, Germany and French.
Ako'y marunong ng wika ng Pilipinas!(I know the language of the Philippines)
Damn, I'm not sure if I spelled "marunong" right or not :mad2:
Finnish is my first language. English and Swedish are my other languages. Then I speak a little bit of German. I used to be kinda fluent on it, but I've forgotten the most of it because I haven't got to use it.
Yeah I speak the first three I mentioned pretty well. I learned them at school. In Finland you start learning Swedish and English on 3rd grade.Quote:

As for the languages I'd like to learn... probably Spanish.

While I didn't learn English basics here in EoFF, my English sure imporved a lot here. When I joined EoFF in year 2000, my English was pretty average. Upon joining EoFF though, my English grades skyrocketed gradually as I used to post here a lot ( and read too). Then I started reading all my books in English and I think I'm pretty fluent now. I don't think my English would be even nearly as good as it is now without Internet ( and EoFF). :)
Well, kurish is a language spoken in the north of Iraq, south Turky (wrong spelling I believe), east of Iran and west of syria.
It isn't a really hard language to learn. So close to Arabic.
And, Ki ki and Mikztsu, thank you. :D English is my fav. language.
English is my mother tongue, French is my second language. I was put into the French Immersion program by my parents. I had the choice in grade 11 to drop out (at this point you only need four more credits to finish it, so it is kinda pointless to drop out then). It is nice to have since where I grew up is about half and half. Plus my maternal grandmother's family can all speak French. Some of them only can speak French. It also helps that I know French since I am currently living in a province whose main language is French, though where I live use French only at the grocery store and when asked for directions. Oh, I swear in French almost as much as I do in English.
As for my French, it is not the best but it is not the worst. For the most part, it is not bad. It started to decay while I was in High School, since basically you get reduce from almost all your courses in French to one course per semester in French. That and the teachers tended not to overly force us the speak French (as in when we work in groups and such), though sometimes they did, we still spoke English anyways, or at least when the teacher was around. I was told over the break that my French is improving. I have no problems with comprehension though, with the exception of unfamiliar words. My French is only horrible when you really catch me off guard. As in over the Christmas break I was called from the living room to use the phone (which they already had ringing) to ask about a piece of property that they saw for sale. -__-; My French was horrible at that moment.
EDIT: I used to watch Card Captors in French because we did not get the English channel that had it. :/
I speak very basic French and Spanish. ^_^
I think your English is probably better than mine! ;_;Quote:

From basically ebing forced to take it thorugh most of my pre-grade 10 life, I know conversational French, or did, not using is causing me to lose it, Also, English, and I am in a Japanese, Chinese(Mandarin) and German class, after those I will branch into Spanish, Arabic, and whatever else my university offers, also, I plan to eventually teach myself Latin.
French for Bert. Also my father and I speak our own language. We made it up one night while taking bong hits and playing risk.

I studied French for ten years.
And yeah I can ahrdly speak a word of french now since it;s beena bout 4 years since I took a class or really tried. However I can read it fairly.
I learned French for 3 years, but I didnt choose to. (Je deteste le francias, c'est enneyeux)
I know a tiny amount of Spanish from my holidays there.
and Im teaching myself Finnish, I only know the basics.
I know that Kiki said something about a fish. I don't remember much.
J'ai une poussion, il s'apelle Bernard et est rouge et noir
I like and can speak random french. It makes for much amusement when i go their
:kaoyatta:
english and cantonese, dont ask me to read or write chinese though :(
I tried to learn spanish but I wasted six years on that. And currently I am failing at learning latin.
I'm planning on learning French soon because I plan to move to France for a year at the end of 2008 with my boyfriend. :jess:
I speak Danish, English and almost German fluently. I also took Spanish for two years and Latin for just one.
Other than that I understand and can also read Swedish, Norwegian and Dutch, but don't really speak any of them, although I easily can make myself understood in both Swedish and Norwegian. I also know some basic French.
I've always thought that learning some Russian would be pretty cool.
I'm good at Gibberish. :)

I speak English as my first language, have learned French since the age of 10 and German since the age of 13. I haven't been practicing them a lot lately but I usually pick them back up once in a while.
Currently I am attempting to learn Japanese through the Pimsleur method. It's easier than it sounds, it's just very different. So far I haven't seen much to render my knowledge of other languages completely useless.
btw....youve never heard of turkish kurds:D?....you foos....
PLAY MGS1 DAMMIT!!!!
Je parle un peu de français, y hablo poco de español, parce que je suis un "over-achiever".
I can read German well enough, although my vocabulary is limited. Carrying a conversation in German, however, is an entirely different manner. I can't follow fluent speakers, as they speak too quickly. I learned this when I visited Germany two years ago.
Next year I'm moving to Miami for college, so I'll be following the logical course of action and take some Spanish classes. Of course, I'll be speaking a bastardized version of the Spanish language if I ever want to converse with any of the Cubans there, but I'll pick up on the differences.
English, Irish(Gaelic), & Papiamento.
oh ya..
i can speak irish too...hahaha...
I'm proficient at Latin, Japanese, and English. I also dabble in Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Etruscan and other early Indo-European languages, Ancient Greek, French, Proto-Germanic especially where morpheme analysis is concerned, Esperanto, Newspeak, and the language in A Clockwork Orange.
I can speak English (Americanized with slang, and the proper kind, you know, the way I type kind-of-way.)
I also know basic Spanish. Also, I can understand a few languages with English cognates in them, but I can't speak them.
English is my native language, so I can obviously speak that :p I've learned how to speak pretty good German, and right now I'm trying to learn Spanish.
I'm fluent in Spanish and English. Spanish was my first language, then I learned English. :bigsmile:
I basically can only Speak English.
I knew some French when I took it in school, but I mostly forgot it. I know a bit of Italian, but I can't read speak or write it. I can only understand it, because I grew up with my family on my Dad's side being off the boat Italian immigrants. :p
I'd love to learn the following languages in this order: Italian, Norwegian, Japanese.
Italian because I sing Italian opera and because I'm Italian and it would be nice to learn my MOTHERTONGUE!1
Norwegian because I love Norway. So much.
Japan for basically the same reason, though mostly because I'd like to understand more Japanese shows like HARD GAY RAZOR RAMON!
between family/relatives...Teochew
friends/other people...English
J'ai habite en France pour deux ans, quand j'avais dix ans. Je suis alle a l'ecole publique, et j'ai apprenu la langue francaise. Mais il y en a douze ans dupuis, et j'ai oublie un petit peu.
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.
There are more people than I thought that speak portuguese o_O:cool: which gives me lots of hope :DQuote:

Well, since I know Arabic it means I am Arabic otherwise I wont bother to learn that hard-to-speak-and-look-at language, 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.Quote:

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.
Kiki what did you say about pork buns?Quote:

I speak English.
Ya gaveeroo Parooskee tojjee. (Russian)
Ich spreche Deutsch aber es ist schlecht.
A little Swiss.
well i am learning spanish and i can speak to my friend quite fluently in it now!yesterday me and my friend walked around town speaking entirely in spanish.and we got a few strange looks lol
i also know lots of random words and phrases in korean...because i heart Korea!!...langages i would like to learn would be Korean
I speak Tagalog, English, and Japanese fluently.
I speak 4 Filipino dialects though because I need to, my family's weird this way: my Mom's a Waray and my Dad's a Boholano, I was raised and bred as Davaoeno and I speak Illongo for the heck of it.
I'm currently trying to teach myself french, It's a long process, I keep forgetting some of the words.
Brazilian here. Portuguese is my birth tongue.Quote:

My next quest is to learn to read Japanese to read my Ultimania guides :D
English, Irish (Cá bhfuil mo straipach?) and a little French (Mon Dieu!).
French and Italian. I know a lot of French, I'm almost fluent, and I just started to learn Italian. We're going at a very fast rate so I'll probably know just as much as Italian as I do French.
I speak fluent English (duh xp), and I'm learning Spanish at the moment. I think I'm pretty good at it.
I would love to learn Japanese as Spanish and Japanese I want to be fluent in. And basically I just want to learn as many languages as possible.
CHAR SIU PAO! is soooooooo yummy. :-)
Uhm, well, English ain't my first language but I still reserve the right to mangle it by using excessive apostrophes whene'er I wanna, so there! I can speak two Indian languages (one very badlyyyy), I know some French -- I used to learn -- some basic Malay and lots of bad words in Mandarin and Cantonese.
I learned English when I was 2. :cool:
I can speak french cause I've been learning it at school since like year 5 and obviously I can speak English. :bigsmile:
I knoe English as my first language, spanish fairly well (I read it better than I write it). I know a few random phrases in Bosnian, I wanna learn either Hebrew or Arabic as well as Japanese, Chinese or Korean. Basicly I wanna learn non-European languages.
I can sorta read esperanto, which seems pretty useful.
The only thing about non-European languages is the writing system. How the smurf do you teach kids to read Arabic without vowels? let alone Kanji/Hanzi -- it's beautiful, yes, but until you memorize enough symbols you can't really read anything.
Arabic is my first language, and my English teacher says that my english is very good(he is American)
