    :monster: Let's have a Language thread!

    Shakira is singing to me in Spanish right now. Mmmm Shakria :3 I don't know a lick of spanish though so....

    I did learn German in highschool and enough to function when I visited in '07 but I've since forgot most of it from not having used it. I know about 200 words in Swedish? Urm... I know Hiragana? Then got bored before I learned any actual words in Japanese. That's about the extent of my language knowings.

    What languages do you know? What have you attempted to learn? And what ones would you like to learn?

    Decent French, functional German, and if I was lost in Italy I'd be able to find my way around, but I would offend grammar to an almost Youtubian extent. I'm also learning a bit of Dutch when I have the time, because it's fun as hell.

    I can speak Italian well enough, it was actually my first language but I've forgotten the better half of it. I could probably pick it back up again if I wasn't so lazy.

    Although I'm not fluent, I can get by in French. Purely because I want to know what they're saying about me behind my back when I order my steak medium-rare instead of blue.

    Also, anyone who spoke to me on Friday night in Town Bar will know that I can speak bollocks extremely well...

    I thought this was a thread where we were going to dust off our poor foreign language skills and talk to each other!

    I have two years of French, and some Spanish. This fall I'm taking Spanish, as I decided to be a Spanish major.

    I have attempted Spanish and French, in middle school and high school respectively. I was not interested in either of them so I did not continue it. I would like to learn either Latin, Chinese, or Japanese depending on which branch history I decide to study.

    I dabble in French because I'm a homosexual.

    Well, I took a few quarters of Japanese, I'm hardly proficient, but it does make playing some of our import games easier!

    I also have a basic understanding of Italian and Spanish from singing. I've also sung in French, German and Hebrew in the past.

    First language is English, but Danish followed not long after. Comparatively durable at both, I dare say.

    Also, I hate the Danish language.

    I have a strong desire to learn Spanish because I live two hours from the Mexican border. There are better opportunities around here for people that know both English and Spanish. Maybe I'll try Esperanto too.
