  • I speak fluent french but it's my first language so it's normal and I'm getting more fluent in english than I used to be I started learning english in grade 3 but never get into it before grade 11. I way more fluent to write, read, listen than to talk. Having boyfriend that mostly only speak english should help for that point... if we could have cnversation on phone more often.

  • The only language that I can speak fluently is English. I've just switched out of a journalism degree and into a linguistics degree, where I will be learning Japanese and French. I can already speak basic Japanese, but I don't know any French yet.

    I'm hoping to spend time in Los Angeles at some point over the next few years, and plan to learn Spanish while I'm there (or at least begin learning it).

  • I'm fluent only in English. I studied Spanish in school but that was years ago and I've since forgotten much of it. I've picked up a few Japanese phrases and words from all my anime watching, but still can't put together coherent sentences in Japanese.

  • I'm only fluent in English, but my French is good enough so that I can be a competent tourist for a long period of time. Indeed, my French tends to vanish when I'm back in the UK but magically flourish when I need to speak it. A few days into my last sojourn there, it all just came back to me! My Japanese is very basic, but I'm going to be going to Japan in a few months so I need to desperately brush up on it if I want to buy stuff/not get held in Customs for two weeks!

  • How many languages do you know?

    So, how many languages do you know? Are you fluent in any of them? How did you learn them? What's your favorite language?

    As for me I know quite a few
    Russian (Learning)
    Hindi (Learning)
    Spanish(Fluent)
    Japanese (Semi-Fluent)
    English(Fluent)
    Italian (Semi-Fluent)
    Pig-Latin. (Professor)

    My favorite language is Japanese and Hindi. They are just beautiful, I taught myself most languages, and I want to go into the study of them, to me, they are intriguing.

  • I'm fluent in English and Malay, as those are the two primary languages in the Malaysian education syllabus. I can read the Arabic alphabets (it's called Jawi here), but I can't actually speak Arabic. I know quite a few words from the German and Turkish language. Despite there being a lot of Chinese here, I can't speak or understand any of their dialects.

    Also, I can automatically understand the Indonesian language, since Malay and Indonesian are the same in many ways. I think there are few words that I readily know from Tagalog, but Malay and Tagalog is otherwise wholly different.

    1. English: Probably my most fluent language, I always use it on writing and reading.

    2. Tagalog: I'm not bad at this language but I always have a hard time in speaking this language.

    3. Spanish: I'm currently in Spanish classes but I'm not that fluent in Spanish yet.

    4. Japanese: I tutor myself in speaking Japanese. I already know many words in that language.

  • Polish - my native language so of course I'm fluent xD

    English - fluent because I use It reeeeally often :3

    Spanish - I was fluent because I lived in Panama for 3 years when I was 6-9 years old. Sadly, because of not using It for many years now I'm forgetting It.

    Italian - only the basics, I have It at school.

    I speak English fluently.

    I do speak Tagalog at home, but with a very American tongue. Much less fluent, I also speak the Spanish you learn in high school, the Japanese you learn from anime, Korean you learn from dramas, and random Mandarin.

    I'm currently studying French and Japanese, both of which I know quite a lot of.

  • My native language is English.
    I understand Spanish, but can't speak it very well.
    I used to be able to understand VERY basic Japanese, but I've forgotten everything.
