    Uhm...English, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Taiwanese, and my own language that only I myself can understand. :) So that makes 5!

    My own language is a combination of all four of those of which very few people can understand because I replace the vocab I don't know with something from another language...I don't know how I can do this, but I'm sure lots of other people have this weird skill of mixing languages together.

    I myself don't think knowing just a few words constitutes knowing a language. -_- Okay, maybe you can greet someone and say good-bye in another language, but that doesn't mean you can speak it. It means you can repeat phrases from memory. o_O;; Speaking it should require one to be able to formulate sentences from scratch, requiring a fairly decent amount of vocabulary. @_@ But I'm just rambling.

    Well my dad said French Grammar is a bit hard....*thinks* ho hum
    The grammar isn't really hard. =\ Once you get used to having (most of) the adjectives after the nouns and how everything has a "gender," it's fairly easy to grasp. x_X I'm just having trouble with the verb conjugations right now for some reason. ;_; It got really hard this year all of a sudden.

    I know quite a bit in the ways of English, (Go figure, hehe) but I'm not the type of person that languages come easy to. I've been taking Spanish for the longest time, and I just can't seem to get anything to stick!

    Well...

    Donde esta el bano?

    ...There's always that, hehe.

    I really would like to learn another language though, like Japanese, so I can finally learn what all those little lines and what not mean when I come across them in shows and stuff.

    And... I guess I kind of popped up out of nowhere, hehe.

    Lol, I am really only fluent in English... I'm from Hawaii, but if someone just randomly walked up to me and started speaking to me in Hawaiian then I would most likely not have a clue what they were saying. XD I know several words in that language thanks to my mom, but not enough to really be useful if I ever went back and lived there. (But, almost everyone there speaks English too, so I guess I'm in luck!) I also know a bit of Japanese, but it's like the case with the Hawaiian words--I don't know that much, despite having several nice books on how to learn it, lol. I just can't ever really get into all of the complicated stuff.

    I can speak English (of course), German, and Spanish. I actually lived in Ramstein, Germany for awhile, and I got Spanish from classes in school, so...

    I'm pretty gifted, I can speak almost 5 languages, Portuguese, Spanish, English, French, and I'm supposed to be learning German for the Credit at some German School. It's going to look really good on any resum? I send in to work, they like when people can speak more than one language ;)

    Indeed, you're right. ^_^ I think bilingualists in Canada are paid up to 20% more or something. Probably less, actually, but still - that's pretty significant. So I can't really figure out why so many people dropped out of French in grade 10.

    Hey! @_@ I have no need for French, at all. Even if it brings more money, that is not a good enough reason for me to learn it. And I can't suddenly become good at it in Gr. 10. I've had horrible, horrible French teachers all my life (except for last year, I didn't like her...but she was good). And there's no wa I can learn the language without being taught all the elementary stuff first. So, my excuse seems valid to me.
