    Default What LANGUAGE/S Do You Speak?

    Apparently most of us here in EoFF speak and understand English. But I'm wondering what other language/s you can speak. Either English is your 2nd language or it's your native tongue and you speak another language.

    Since I live in The Philippines (IMO a highly corrupted third-world country), I can speak Tagalog (our official language) fluently and also English. In fact I consider myself more fluent in the latter.

    I also know a little written Chinese. I'm also self-studying Spanish. I plan to take up Basic Spanish next semester in college.

    Feed my curiosity please.

    I only speak English. I use American Sign Language pretty well but I'm not fluent.

    English is my mother tongue, French is my second language. Might be taking Japanese next semester, depending if I can I have room after I schedule the other course that I need.

    English and Al Bhed because I am retarded in the sense that I would rather learn a simple, made-up encrypted language rather than a completely new language that actually has uses outside of being lame.

    I'm a native English speaker. I'm taking Japanese 1 at a community college on Saturdays to fulfill A-G requirements (college thing).

    Whee, Mt. SAC.

    Oh wait, I can write in Gnommish too.

    English is my native language. I'd consider myself fluent in French. If Latin was spoken, I'd be fluent in it too. I've also studied Spanish for a year.

    I speak English and took three years of Spanish in High School so I can get around pretty decentally. I'd like to learn German though.

    English was my first language. I tried to learn Japanese when I used to live in Japan, but since I was little, it didn't really turn out too well. But I do know German (since I lived in Austria), and right now I'm learning Spanish (since now I live in Mexico.) My family is from the Philippines, too, so they speak Tagalog. But I was born in the US, I can only sort of understand what they're saying, but I can't speak Tagalog.
    wheee!

    Wow! A fellow Pinoy EoFF'er!

    Same with my four-year old Canadian-born cousin. He can understand Tagalog but not speak it.

    I speak fluent English.

    I speak horrible, disgusting, chopped up spanish. The result of our fine Public school systems. And out Private colleges. And... Well, I just suck at learning languages.

    Spanish and English fluently. Little bit of French and I'll sign up for some Russian classes before starting my MA work.
