    English and a bit of Welsh (even though I hated learning it in school). I knew some French too at one point.

    Languages I'd like to learn: Mandarin (Because I think it'll be important in the upcoming years). German (because it's awesome). Russian (Because it sounds very interesting).

    I'm also in love with Latin, but I know I wouldn't be able to learn it. I think it's the greatest sounding language that was ever constructed.

    Cheers to Polaris for the set!

    You would. Latin is freaking easy - the simplicity and perfection of it is the beauty of the language. Anyone can pick it up with a little help.

    I always thought no one was entirely certain how Latin is supposed to be pronounced, being a dead language and all. Are you guys who think it sounds nice taking the most likely version as a basis?

    Personally I don't think it's that nice spoken. But the most likely version is pretty likely seeing as how historians have been working on it for centuries.

    I'm only fluent in English but I can converse reasonably in American Sign Language.

    I'm only fluent in English. =[

    I can read and write in hiragana almost perfectly now though and I know a little bit of katakana. I can speak very very elementary Japanese.

    Obviously I speak Scottish I use to be able to speak fluent Gaelic but I lost it now. My sister still can speak Scottish Gaelic. I can also speak some French and know a tiny bit of Spanish. I would like to learn Japanese like my brother and learn more French.

    I am fluent in English.

    I can understand basic Spanish, French and German. I can also speak, to a lesser degree, the aforementioned languages. I can write elementary Spanish as well.

    I used to be able to speak Spanish more fluently and write in Arabic, but have since lost the ability to do both. I also had a better grasp on French and German a few years back.

    Ideally, I would like to be fluent in French, German, Latin, Chinese, Arabic and Russian.

    I don't know what the hell you're on about because Latin is far from easy. There are so many nuances and tiny little things you have to watch out for, and so much memorization, not to mention the endless list of grammatical concepts (ablative absolute, jussive case, subjunctive moods, indirect commands / statements and other ut/ne clauses, participles, infinitives, gerundives ... )

    I don't like how it sounds spoken either. Actually, to me, some of it sounds really silly and infantile (especially the imperfect tense, and the future tense for the first and second conjugations ... something about "bo" and "bis" and the like).

    My standard of Japanese is probably 2-3 weeks in front of Rye's, but it's decaying due to disuse. I will take it up again once I start uni full time though.

    I can read/speak/understand English very well. I can only understand Cantonese very well, and speak it as well as you can expect a 4 year old to. Maybe worse.

    Have fun with that.

    English is my first language.

    La langue française est ma deuxième. Ma compréhension est prèsque parfait mais des fois j'ai difficulté de m'exprime en français.

    日本語がちょっと分かる。僕は日本語を二年に始め勉強するのに時々むずかしくなるよ。

    (Feel free to tell me if my Japanese sounded a bit weird. :/)
