Languages anyone?
 

nice!! my mother is norwegian, but I never got around to learning that language.

English is my first language. I can speak a very little bit of Japanese and understand it most the time when people speak it. I can also understand quite a bit of French and Spanish. I can't speak a lot of French or Spanish though.

English is my first language and the one that I am fluent in. I know a lot of Latin American Spanish, but I'm far from fluent. I can read and write it well, but my auditory and speaking skills are quite poor.

I'm also fluent in profanity and sarcasm. ;)

I only know a little German, I'm definitely not fluent, but working on it. ^^

English is my mother tongue, I learnt French at school from when I was 7 years old and Latin from 8 years old. You didn't get a choice at my first school, everyone just had to.
Then I moved to Indonesia when I was 10 years old and learned Indonesian for 6 years.
Came back to England and went to an American school where I had to take Spanish (it was that or German and the German accent just seemed impossible to me).
Carried on with Spanish at University until the Spanish teacher quit in my second year and they told us they weren't getting another Spanish teacher, so we could do Italian or German. So I went with Italian.

Now after a few years of not having to study any of them, and not going anywhere other than English speaking countries in recent years, I can't say I remember much of any of them >.<
I'd probably pick up Indonesian again if I spent some time there, but Spanish, French and Italian have all merged into a blur in my mind. As for Latin, that was just pointless, and I have no idea what the point of spending 2 years on that was o_0

i took japanese in high school and i'm also retaking it this semester of college. honestly, i'm not that good at it, but i know some of the basics. unfortunately for me, memorizing the sentence structure is very hard.

I kinda want to learn german. I speak bits and pieces of italian, but nothing that will ever get me by in italy. English is my second language, french being my first but I've always spoke both(making both my first languages?). I also want to learn Japanese, because it sounds quite interesting. My friend was taking Japanese for awhile and told me it was one of the harder languages to learn. I actually have a Japanese friend who moved to america about 4 years ago and now she speaks fluent english, but when she moved here she only spoke Japanese. She was telling me the other day that she had a hard time learning english because the words were really weird and shouldn't be pronounced the way that they are, or they aren't even spelled to make any sense. It was pretty funny listening to her talk about how frustrating the english was for her, and I started to wonder of other people thought that too:3

My native tongue is Mexican Spanish (since there's some differences between every variation of the language :sweat:) and my second is American English. I speak both equally fluently, so I guess I speak Spanglish *laughs* I'd really like to learn French and Gaelic though, mostly because I really like the way both languages sound ^_^

This. I would love to learn another language, but I don't have the time.

carzee: its really difficult to obtain multiple languages, I speak a total of 2 fluently, because I lost my skill in italian and norwegian. Spanish, forget it!

English is my first language. Aside from that, I know probably a moderate amount of Latin and a little Japanese. I'm not fluent in any other languages, however.

A lot of people seem to know japanese...hmmm...

That's still pretty epic. I'd love to learn dutch because my family's from there, but I don't know where I could learn it.

I'm a Malaysian Chinese but I speak English most of the time.

I get nagged a lot by my bosses, clients and certain family members because I am not able to speak Cantonese properly even though its supposed to be by mothertongue/dialect.

I can speak Malay since it was forced upon us in school so I took tuition classes to improve. Though I think my Malay is terrible now and I speak in broken sentences.

I try my best to speak Japanese when I can. I watch enough anime, dramas and television chows to be able to understand what they are trying to say without subtitles so I can speak a little :)

Oh god there are so many languages I know from constantly moving. (see Moving Across the World Thread) English is my first language, I'm Japanese so I know that, I also know from moving around so much, the following languages:

Chinese
Korean
Taiwanese
French
Russian
Vietnamese
Cantonese
Italian
Spanish
Portuguese(Brazil)

And a few others, I think. :)

English is my first language and I was in French second year last year but due to scheduling I had to switch to first year Spanish. But I like both languages and I would love to learn Italian as well. Oh and I don't know if they count but I can speak and write pig latin, and gibberish I can speak, I have no idea how you would even begin to write it out though. Like I said not official languages but my friends and I and kids from their school use it all the time. Annoys adults to no end. Anyway I would love to learn more but there's only so much you can cram into my brain and have stick. If I could just throw out all things mathmatical but basic math then I think I could learn a lot more, but no...It's required if I want to graduate High School. :headdesk:

My first language is Arabic, English is my second language, I'm fluent in both of them, I also know bits of Italian, French, and Japanese.

Italian just because I rather liked the language and decided to learn it on my own, but I can barely understand anything, fail? yes way, French because one of my friends knew it and taught me the basics, Japanese, who said watching animes couldn't teach you anything? I understand what they say well half-half if I focus enough but it's still hard.
