What language do you know (or want to learn?)
 

to make it into a discussion...
What language would you like to learn or know?

I want to learn chinese, japanese, russian, and...german :3[/B]

Oh okay! I thought it was chinese XD THANK YOU!
Now, I just need to know what it says :C

and Oooo~ Gaelic and Latin? I should add those to my list of languages I want to learn. ;w;

I'd like to learn Czech. My heritage and ancestors comes primarily from the Czech Republic (in Europe), and my girlfriend was born there (she moved to America when she was ten or so).

Her family speaks it fluently, and she often says cute little things to me in Czech which I think is adorable. All I know is Miluje te (without accents...can't figure them out :lol: ) which means I love you.

I want to learn ancient Greek. Like, what Plato spoke. I don't think there are many people with that skill alive these days.

I do not even know what that says...

I speak French, it is my dominant language, and I know all English as well

I would love to learn Japanese and Italian and French though.!

I know english, fluent in Spanish, a bit of french.

I want to learn Italian..it's such a beautiful language.

As for what that says.. I tilted my head but no luck :c

I can ask my roomie what it says, she can read katakana and hiragana.

I want to learn a bit more Japanese, but I'd also like to learn VietNamese, as we actually have a VietNamese market here. We don't have any Japanese, excepting a few tourists, so learning Japanese is just a hobby, learning VietNamese would actually be practical.

I know a wee bit of a lot of languages- Spanish, Italian, French, Russian, Hungarian. Not enough to have a convo, but enough to find my way around if need be.

I knew a tiny bit of Spanish and French. My whole family knows Hindi, even my 6 year old brother, but I don't. Even my friends know Hindi. I only speak English. And since my dad's a German language teacher, I think I'm gonna end up learning German. But I really wanted to learn French. But it's really difficult!

I speak very little french these days. But I'd like to get better at it, also possibly learn German and Japanese. * u* /loser

I've been in the process of learning Portuguese (european) for quite a while now. By now, I can read quite a bit of it, but speaking it is a different story. XD

one problem with that, only two characters are hiragana. The first 2, then the forth and fifth characters are kanji. The third character is the 'mi' sound, the last 'i' sound

I know Portuguese (NOT the brazillian kind) and obviously English. I know the smallest bit of French (reading), quite a bit of Spanish (from tourists, going to Spain, cartoons, all that sort), I can also read Italian and some Latin, but that's as far as I go. I was only taught English and French, though. The rest I learned by myself. As for learning, I'd love to learn Italian someday, and Latin. Maybe Japanese too, but eh. It's becoming so mainstream these days.

Aah, I have heard kanji is the hard part to learn. I know it's -from- written Chinese, but are Chinese kanji and Japanese kanji the same?

Kanji is really hard. One missing stroke can mean saying something completely different, and sometimes one kanji can have several meanings.

As for the differences between Chinese and Japanese, I'm not sure. I know Japan gained it's writing style from China, But I'm not sure how many kanji are similar, or which ones are...

Japanese and Chinese have some characters which are shared, but pronounced differently. Japanese also has the hirigana and katakana.
I have also seen some variations of the Kanji in Japan which do not exist in Chinese. Sometimes, I believe that the Kanji in Japan would mean something completely different to the characters in Chinese. I'm not quite sure why...

I know Cantonese and English, with some Spanish, French and Mandarin. I would LOVE to be fluent in French. I also want to learn Japanese, Korean and Latin. I love languages~ the more the better!

It's Japanese, I know that much, but I don't know what it says. I can get my friend Carly to look at it and see if she knows it.
Languages I've wanted to learn:
Japanese
Chinese
French
Spanish
German

I'm fluent in French and I've taken German for two years. I took a bit of Latin too but I've forgotten most of it. The languages I most want to learn are Swedish and Japanese. ^_^

I of course speak English (mother tongue) but I know Spanish, and some Finnish.

Languages I want to learn:
I want to learn Finnish. I don't know, I just do. I like how it sounds.

I'd love to learn how to speak Japanese or any Chinese, that would be something to learn. Those are probably two of the hardest languages to learn outside of English.

My mother tongue is Polish. I also speak English, which is quite obvious. This year I started learning Mandarin at school. I only know the very basics so far and I can't wait to learn more!

I want to learn how to speak Japanese, French, German and Italian. I once actually was learning French, but that was a few years and only lasted for about a year, so I only remember little of it. Something like five words. I wouldn't mind learning Spanish and Latin one day either, but they aren't what I want to learn the most.

Ich kann ein bisschen Deutsch.
/ I speak a little German

I'm half German
