    Default You're Speaking My Language!

    Are there any languages you would like to learn?

    I would like to improve my fairly mediocre French, and Arabic is an absolutely amazing language.

    I already know Spanish, quite a bit of Greek and Hebrew, and a little French and Italian, but the language I really want to learn is Russian. I've started working on it before but never managed to get very far past learning the alphabet and pronunciations and some basic words/phrases. I just love Russian. I'd like to be fully fluent in Spanish, French, and Russian--there are books in each of them that I'd like to read in the original language.

    I can't listen to Arabic. It sound like they're speaking backwards.

    I wish my Spanish wasn't so crappy; it would be fairly useful to know. I was considering taking this Legal Spanish class next semester, but it's at 9 AM and that is just unreasonable.

    If I found a genie, one of my three wishes would be to be fluent in every language.

    I've really enjoyed studying Japanese, though I haven't gotten very far since I don't have much practical use for it. I would like to learn Spanish, but mostly because I do have practical use for it.

    I want to learn Spanish because while I live in a major city, all of the outlying small towns are primarily Spanish speaking. It's an invaluable skill around here. I'm thinking of taking a course next semester even though it won't count towards my degree because if I do well, then I think it will benefit me more than my actual degree will.

    Russian is very sweet language. you can change order between object and verb to have another meaning. Do you have some russian friends who can help you practice it? I stayed in Russian 1 year to study language . I can speak English, French ,Russian .My mother language is Vietnamese .

    I speak a little Polish and learnt French and Japanese at school and college. Currently I'm picking up some Portuguese from a friend who is using me to learn English better.

    I could speak English fluently by the time I was seventeen. Which isn't that impressive when you consider I was born in England and it's my first and only language.

    Or we counting the language of love? Because if that's the case... then I'm still only fluent in one language.

    Seriously though, I would love to learn Spanish. I haven't met many nice French people so that put me off learning their language.
