Was English your first language?
 
Actually, I learned Gaelic and Japanese before I learned English,
partly because my dad is Scottish and my mom is Japanese.

^^NICK^^ v.3.0 June 8th, 2004 3:02 AM

Yeah, it was. I'm now learning Spanish (but if I don't finish my packet, I won't be in Spanish II next year).

Hinoshi-chan June 8th, 2004 3:16 AM

Im japaniese o_o;; I learned jap before english, Im not 100% with English today -_-

aRedMoon June 8th, 2004 6:16 AM

Yep. ^-^

But now I'm learning Spanish, and will start taking Jap in my Junior year.

Nothing like English 11, Spanish 4, and Japanese 1 all in one year. X_X;

Eliana June 8th, 2004 8:11 AM

Yup! English was my first, and then i learned hebrew!

Castrainer June 8th, 2004 8:13 AM

My first one was portuguese ^___^
Now im with portuguese and english...
Not learning any new ;_;
But I will learn japanese! I think I will start in 2006 ^_^

Kairi June 8th, 2004 8:22 AM

Sadly, yes it’s my first and only language and probably will be, since I can barely handle it let alone be smart enough to handle more than one language. ._.

Eliana June 8th, 2004 8:24 AM

Lol Kairi why not make your own language then? XD

jaz_jaz June 8th, 2004 8:27 AM

I only know English, have tried French and Spanish but find learning different languages is just to much work, plus i can never keep my concentration when trying to learn. I might try and learn Japanese

Chairman Kaga June 8th, 2004 9:08 AM

I know english and almost enough spanish to get by, but I'm far from perfect with my second language...I also would like to learn Japanese and Hebrew (especially Japanese...I want to frequently travel Japan when I'm older)

Shinin June 8th, 2004 10:02 AM

Timbjerr June 8th, 2004 10:16 AM

My first lanugage was Spanish when I first learned to talk, but my mother decided it best for me to learn English. I've lost most of my Spanish, but I still know enough to get by...I sonetimes break into Spanish in MSN convos without me noticing XD

Porygon June 8th, 2004 10:18 AM

Yep. Being Canadian, it kinda figures ^^

Eliana June 8th, 2004 11:30 AM

Well here is my plan:
learn french in school
get a spanish tutor
learn russian in college
and then if there is time learn maybe another language or 2

Anna-chan June 8th, 2004 11:52 AM

First langauge is indeed english, although I act like I don't know it, lol. But I also took italian last year and this, I'll be taking French 1 next year, and I know Pig Latian, and a made up language called 'op'

Eliana June 8th, 2004 12:07 PM

Lol keyblade master! Yeah, I make up my own languages ALLLLL the time! wanna hear one?
jdfklsjdfklasjf sjdfklasjdf jdfioawjre sjdf!!!!!!!!!

Bhati June 8th, 2004 12:09 PM

Its the only language I know right now. I supposted to have a spanish class a couple years ago, but band always got in the way of it, so I just gave up on it. I might take French next year though.

Eliana June 8th, 2004 12:13 PM

You should! i dont take it yet, but hardly anyone takes it anymore!

Porygon June 8th, 2004 12:16 PM

French? No wonder. Bah, I hate French…

Eliana June 8th, 2004 12:20 PM

Lol! how come? i hear that from a lot of kids in the grade

Sayuri no Hoshi June 8th, 2004 12:27 PM

Yes, English was my first language. Everyone always has their doubts about me having English as my first language or the possibility that I would have speech problems when I'm older--because, my Dad was born in Italy and everyone thought that if he spoke with an accent to me...I wouldn't be able to pick up the proper pronunciation. Well, my Dad doesn't really have an accent and you wouldn't even notice it unless you listened carefully on some words. People are wrong...! >_< *shakes fist*

Kayleigh June 8th, 2004 12:31 PM

Yep, English was my first language. I know a little bit of Hawaiian and Japanese though, so I'm doing okay. (I can understand some of the words in the songs that are on my mom's Hawaiian CD, lol.) I'd like to become more fluent in both of those languages.

TRIFORCE89 June 8th, 2004 12:45 PM

English is my first and only language. It's all I know. I don't know any of my background languages, Maltese and Italian. Well, I shouldn't say that. Lots of my favourite Italin foods can be said in an Italian accent. Hehe...

The only language I'm interested in learning is Japanese. That way I can be fluent in Old and Modern Hylian. But I don't think that's a good enough reason to pay for lessons.

Cherrim June 8th, 2004 1:10 PM

My first language was English, but I hope to be fluent in many more languages when I'm older. French is mandatory in Canada for many grades, and mandatory in Ontario until grade 9. I'm still going to continue it throughout high school, though, since I love the language. ^_^; It's so easy for me. o_O; (I'm getting 94 in it in school~) I'm also learning Japanese, although classes have ended for this year. I'm continuing next year, and the year after. @[email protected] I think that's the last level of lessons, though, since I apparently skipped the grade 9 level and took grade 10 Japanese or something. XD (*got 99% in that* ;p) But... meh. x.o; My speech could use a little work, since I normally say things a little slower when making them up on the spot as I don't want to make stupid mistakes and say something that doesn't make sense. x.x;

I also want to learn some form of Chinese, Korean, Arabic, and possibly Portugese, Spanish and another language which I've forgotten at the moment. o_O;; Lmao, I usually laugh when I reply to these kinds of topics because it must seem so weird to have a white person speaking foreign languages. XD (That's what all my relatives tell me about taking Japanese when they visit. @[email protected])

T89 - =X You should take the Japanese lessons for the credit! There's only a $25 course fee which is typical for most things. (It applies for things like all the photocopies and stuff.) :3

TRIFORCE89 June 8th, 2004 1:41 PM

Out of curiosity Lightning, why do you want to learn so many languages? Do you want to get into some language based career if you don't get into animation (<- the only way I can see that happening is if you choose not to go into animation, you're not going to be rejected because your drawings are fantastic).

But Zelda is pretty much the only reason I need Japanese. I want to create a computer animated Zelda movie franchise (sketches to start this summer) and me knowing Hylian would definatly be a plus. "You should take the Japanese lessons for the credit!" ? Like school credit? For the time being I'm only doing what's needed, which Japanese isn't. Plus, I have enough problems with French, I can just immagine how I would do with Japanese. At least the French have English letters! Or maybe I'll actually try since I want to learn it. And I've rambeled on long enough for now...
