Can you speak any other languages?

  • Nah, unfortunately not. During school I did learn French and Spanish but ended up dropping them in favour of two other subjects at a later stage. I kinda wish I did continue with at least one language but I could just never hold an interest for either of them.

  • Portuguese is my native language. I started learning English at around 5 years old and am now quite proficient at it.
    I can understand Spanish well (written mostly, when spoken I only understand it if people slow down), and can speak it decently enough. And that's about it.

  • I'm fluent in sarcasm and bullshit, does that count?

    In seriousness, I've studied French and Italian at school and tried to self-teach Estonian for the lolz but I've totally forgotten the latter and only know a few simple words/phrases in the former two. I'm not that great at languages and have no interest in travel or anything so I don't need them.

  • When I learn languages I tend to fall into this rut of being able to understand way more than I can spit out, so talking is harder for me :< Other than English, I can understand conversational Spanish and Japanese pretty well, though. I want to get a lot better at those first, then maybe Italian (my mom can speak it) or Chinese.

  • Greek is my main language and i started learning English at 8 years old and i finished at 14 I think.
    That's why my English is not that good now, i forgot it. Especially the grammar...

  • Besides English, I'm fluent in Russian. Was born in Russia but my speaking skills aren't 100% native since I only ever speak it when I'm at home with family. I can't grasp the more complex words. Outside home I speak English only.

    Know minor French also and can probably translate some things but it's nothing too serious. I'd love to learn more languages some day!

  • I used to speak Japanese fairly well, but it's so rusty that I can't speak or listen very much unless I'm really concentrating.

  • I can speak English, French, Japanese, and Russian. I know a very small amount of German as well. Reasons being, I'm Canadian so French and English are like "duh". And I have German heritage so I decided I wanted to learn German. And I just like Russian and Japanese so I learned them.

    Not really. I used to be pretty fluent in Spanish after taking it for two years but it has been over 6 years since I have spoken any and I've forgotten the majority of it. I think that I might retake some courses to refresh my memory on the language.

  • I really want to learn other languages.
    I want to learn Japanese but I feel thats going to be difficult to learn and I even struggle with French sometimes.
    I know a few phrases in Polish as I am friends with several polish people.
    I only speak English and I am doing GSCE French at school which is improving and I am happy about.

    Spanish is my first language, I think I'm fluent in English but sometimes I mess up ^-^;

    I'm trying to learn Japanese and so far I can read and write Hiragana and Katakana. Kanji is a whole different thing though x.X I can't find a good way to study it, and the only ones I know are the ones I have studied a bit deeper because I see them often and they look important considering how often they show up.

    I'd like to learn German and French eventually too, but one language at a time ^-^;.

  • I'm Portuguese so the only other language I can speak is English! It's not perfect, but I think it's improving, especially because I'm in an English Speaking Forum, which is this one XD Plus, here in Portugal it's obligatory to have English classes. I did learn French at school, but I don't remember much ... And the last year of French classes that I had, the professor was incredibly bad... :/ I'd like to learn Japanese, but that's to hard... Maybe I'll try French again ^^

    Did you use Keeleklikk? I tried learning it with that. It probably would have worked out better if I had actually stuck to it...

    I can't speak any language other than English, though I did attempt French in my first year of high school for a semester and ended up coming last in my class. I would like to attempt to learn one, though, such as Italian.

  • 11 years of French school :D Though I tend to use that as a nap class so my ability is... limited. I don't like the language that much, and I'd like to learn Swedish or Mandarin instead. I keep telling myself I'll get started soon but blehhh I'm lazy af.
