Title: Which Languages Do You Speak?
Description: or read. or write.

I speak English (obviously--I left that out because we all must know English otherwise it would be a bit hard to communicate here) and I take German and Japanese in school.

Edit: Curses . . . It's only letting me choose one. I could have sworn I chose the button to choose up to five. *grumbles*

I take French, which I'm decent at, and Spanish which I can't speak that well but can read and understand for the most part (thanks to French).

Does Pig Latin count? :p

I take Japanese and Spanish. =] A somewhat strange combination, but that's okay.

I love Japanese to bits. <3

French. W00T! I'm fairly decent at speaking it, though a lot of words don't come to my head right away. I know quite a bit of Latin vocabulary, what with a few of my friends teaching me plus some almost cognates in French and English. :)

I like foreign langauges :)

Lothlómendil - January 17, 2007 11:29 AM (GMT)
English, Spanish, and I'm learning Dutch. ^_^ I love languages. <3

Roswenth - January 17, 2007 12:20 PM (GMT)
English is native. I've studied Japanese, ancient Greek, and Latin. And a tiny bit of Spanish and Portuguese.

Lostboy747 - January 17, 2007 01:01 PM (GMT)
Well, my primary language is Afrikaans, but I'm fluent in English (speaking and writing). I also speak Xhosa, Zulu (local african languages), a bit of Japanese, Arabic and French.

I'm South African, by the way.

I speak English as a first language, but I'm fluent in German. I studied it for 5 years in high school, and then went on to do it for another two years in college so... Its probably one of the easiest languages to learn.

I studied French for two years, I know a bit of Spanish, just a few words and phrases really. And as I live in South Wales, I'm fluent in Welsh too.

Toni-May - January 17, 2007 05:51 PM (GMT)
i'm currently studying French so I can speak that, yep! (happy)

Cookie - January 17, 2007 07:34 PM (GMT)
English, like mostly everyone, is my first language, but I do know how to speak and read Spanish and French. (happy)

Mako - January 20, 2007 10:45 PM (GMT)
English, Vietnamese, and mediocre Spanish, heh.

Sunday - January 21, 2007 05:09 PM (GMT)
100% fluent in English, nearly fluent in Spanish, okay at Japanese. I am part Japanese, and my grandparents used to teach me, but they died so I'm struggling to retain the information. +_+

Nirinia - January 21, 2007 05:29 PM (GMT)
I speak Norwegian natively, and read Swedish and Danish without much effort as a result. I'm fluent in English, dabble in French and know a few Russian phrases.

MishMoo - January 21, 2007 06:04 PM (GMT)
English is my first language. I'm studying Spanish and Latin.

plaidbutterfly - January 21, 2007 06:33 PM (GMT)
English and Latin.

My dad comes along and asks me "Quid agis?" constantly, so trust me, it's more than reading. :p

Horsecrzy721 - January 21, 2007 06:42 PM (GMT)
Ah sadly the only other language besides English that I can string a sentence with is Italian. And those a very meager sentences let me tell you. I can write and understand pretty well, but speaking has never been my strong point in Italian. Having to think through all those tenses just throws my sentences to hell.

Destiny's Path - January 22, 2007 01:30 AM (GMT)
As you can see I speak English. At school, well..... Spanish, Japanese, French and a bit of Chinease.

Fission - January 22, 2007 01:33 AM (GMT)
I wish I could speak/read/write/do anything concerning Japanese. I have just a bit of French stashed away in the back of my mind...

talifiney - January 24, 2007 12:57 AM (GMT)
Because I'm in Canada, French is a given for certain grades. So besides the French, I'm taking Spanish, and have a smattering of Japanese and Ukrainian. Also, ASL. (American Sign Language) I really like learning languages, obviously.

Kental-Akari - January 24, 2007 01:32 AM (GMT)
I took Spanish for two years in middle school, although I think we only covered what would normally be put into a Spanish 1 course. At that point, my choice was to be in Spanish, since I did well on some standardized test or something, or be put into a reading course, which tend to be boring, especially when one is also required to take an English course, as they tend to focus on the same things. I don't remember a lot of Spanish now, although I can say "one by one the penguins steal my sanity"...rather useless, but mildly entertaining nonetheless.

I am currently in my third year of German. While I'm fairly good at it, I doubt that I will ever consider myself fluent in it since I tend to forget words I need. Languages just aren't my thing apparently.

SXD - January 24, 2007 02:59 AM (GMT)
This one of course I can poorly speak a little Frence.

Detura - January 25, 2007 12:03 AM (GMT)
I can speak English, and Romanian.

Thievesfire - January 28, 2007 05:14 PM (GMT)
I speak English, and I'm learning French at school, and my friend is teaching me a bit of Japanese, can't spell it for my life though!

Konitchwa! (I think athst how its spelt!)

.:solemn.wish:. - January 30, 2007 06:27 PM (GMT)
Let's see... I speak English (obviously!), a little bit of Spanish from a few years ago when I wanted to try and learn it but gave up, I speak a fair bit of German after learning it in school for 4 years. Also, I'm a fluent Welsh speaker, as I live in Mid Wales ^_^

English, obviously. && a lot more partical ones:

-- French from like... 7yrs of it.
-- Spanish for about 2 years.
-- Latin for like a year.
-- Japanese (Numbers && random words && phrases)
-- Tad Chinese (Mandarin).
-- Finnish (Numbers && random phrases)

&& Hindi && Gujarati <------ quite fluent in those last two. <-- I chose "Other" cause I am most fluent in one of these ones, rather then the ones above!

And I know the simple phrases (Hi, how are you, my name is.., I love you etc) in like 10 other languages. So I can say that I know enough for a good while =].

ErinHPLuvr - February 1, 2007 01:34 AM (GMT)
I take Spanish at my Highschool. I am pretty bad at it, but I can speak a little. I can write it better though (blush)

restrained_smile - February 1, 2007 02:29 AM (GMT)
Fluent in french (I have to speak it all day, so I'd better be) and a little, itsy, bitsy bit of Yiddish. And a little ASL from watching the interpreter at school assemblies.

I am totally impressed.

jamaloo - February 1, 2007 03:26 AM (GMT)
some french, a year when i was 7 and being best friends with a french guy for two years, it tends to rub off on you. and the majority of my school takes french, so i learned it in passing.

some italian and celtic, as in spare phrases (mostly insults) from my friend and dad

mandarin and some cantonese (my mother is chinese, and i've been taking AP Mandarin since freshman year. i live in taiwan over the summer, and you have to know it or else the vendors will rip you off hundreds. but in korea, it's the same deal--so i learned some Korean too.)

some japanese from dramas.

spanish (old friend is from spanish descent, and her family is all spanish so i picked it up)

and i know some Vietnamese and Philippine things from a trip to Vietnam on my way to Taiwan... and again, friends.

oh, and pig latin. XD

Zang - February 4, 2007 05:02 PM (GMT)
I speak English, Spanish, Patois and I can read a tiny bit of Norweigian.

LiVEY0URLiFE_alexx - February 7, 2007 10:14 PM (GMT)

-- Latin; interesting, though tedious. my teacher is such a doofus. =]

-- Hebrew; goes back to the Jewish roots<3.

-- English; just an All-American girl, d00d.

Nephrastar - February 7, 2007 10:32 PM (GMT)
I can speak Spanish to an extent, and I only know a bunch of Japanese words that I can't put into sentences, as well as the basic grammar structure. However, I am planning on taking Japanese classes my last two years in school, so that should help me with my learning.

'Quel - February 7, 2007 10:35 PM (GMT)
Well, my first language is Dutch, so. Dutch! I can speak Dutch! And other than that, English and German. ^^

Turkey - February 9, 2007 01:06 AM (GMT)
English, Cantonese, and French, but I kinda lost French XD.

lotrfan185 - February 11, 2007 04:37 AM (GMT)
English (fluently) and German (to a degree. . . better writing than speaking let's say)

helloemface - February 14, 2007 02:51 PM (GMT)
french and english!

Mevv - February 17, 2007 12:39 AM (GMT)
I speak only english. but I do know some of German, spanish, and portuguese. But not enough of either that I could live off of.

MagicItaly - February 18, 2007 06:01 PM (GMT)
We've got ENglish, Greek & Latin. Some Spanish, and some Italian.

summerdanez - February 18, 2007 08:05 PM (GMT)
English --> Native
Hick/Texan/Cajun --> Native (Hey, it could be considered it's own language these days!)
French --> 2 years in HS, and going to be 4 years in college (It's sad, my mother is 100% French yet neither of us can speak it)
Afrikaans --> Phrases and such (I had to learn it for a character)
