Odidnetne Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I'm just curious that even though English is the primary language of this forum, with many fluent German speakers, I was wondering what other languages people speak here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andgbr Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 (edited) English, Portuguese ( brazilian ), Spanish..and i might learn how to speak dutch this year. ( hopefully ).I can understand ( and read ) a bit of italian... but i can't really speak italian. i find it really attractive, that's why it's one of my favorite languages, i wish i knew to speak italian, i really do. german is really cool, i like how they talk, but it's too complicated..( not a easy language! )...

Michelle Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 English. In high school, I studied Spanish for 4 years and French for 2 years, but can't speak either. I can understand quite a bit of spoken spanish as long as it's not Tex-Mex (oddly, I can understand someone from say Spain or Columbia, but I can't understand my next-door neighbors) and a tiny bit of French. My comprehension is better with reading, sometimes I can actually read enough to understand yahoo news articles in other languages. Someday, I really want to go spend a couple months in a foreign country so I can become proficient in another language. Actually, I'd like to do that about three or four times.

benny boy Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 English French a tiny bit (5 years in school a long time ago, but I reckon I could get by with a bit of prompting from a phrase book) Icelandic a tiny bit (but the pronunciation and grammar are just way way too hard!) My problem with foreign languages which I do pick up pretty quick if immersed in them is that I can ask the questions, but then everyone speaks too fast so I can't understand the answer!

I majored in French and minored in Spanish and I am trying to learn some Japanese via CD ROM Japanese is HAARDDD! maybe not so much to speak...but to write it...jeeeese...it's a mission. I feel like a small child learning to read and write again. Which on one hand is kind of cool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 oh yeah, I haven't started reading and writing in the symbols (for lack of a better word). I just study it in the roman alphabet. That other stuff will come later. All I really know how to say right now is "credijito cado doko desu ka?" which actually works for me because I have misplaced my wallet.

cubby2112 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I speak some German and very little Spanish and Japanese. I took Spanish for a year in high school and Japanese for a year in college. When I transfered to my new college this year, I found them to have a decent German program, so I switched over to it, as that is always the language I have wanted to learn anyway.

FormicaLinoleum Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 English. I took 6 years of French, but that was 14 years ago, so I have forgotten nearly all of what I knew. I can understand written French pretty well, but that's about it. I would like to learn Tagalog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
