Who Here Speaks More than One Language?

[Hilder420]

Even if you can get your basic point across counts. no, not with grunts answer finger pointing lol, but a basic conversation. I speak spanish, it was my first tounge, english is my second, or was anyway hahaha and basic french. read, write, and speak all.
What bout chu?

[akimbo1013]

I speak English, Arabic and a tiny bit of french

[DAY-DREAMER-MAN]

i speak English & Inuit:thumbsup:

[ChiefSmokesAlot]

English, My language - Native American (won't get into detail), Spanish and French. :)

[Coelho]

I only speak Portuguese. But can write and read in english.

[geonagual]

I wish...

[LIP]

English is my mother tongue, but i can speak fluent Hebrew. I can also speak abit of dutch, but nothing good enough to call fluent.

[WeedyBoyWonder]

I got a D in my French GCSE.

Can't actually speak it though, I got graded a F in the oral part and B's in the writing and listening.

[beachguy in thongs]

I speak very English well.
Plus ca change, plus ce la meme chose.
Tu la rubella regazza con cu shu.

That's three!
(lines)

[Tadder_Nervosa]

AH! Je parle francais! Aussi, j'habite au Virginia! As-tu un chien, comme ton "avatar?"

Fumar mota puta madre! haha

[beachguy in thongs]

Si!

Venez Virginia?

Esta perro en la avatar.

[Nightrafe]

Dutch is my language, but I learned also French and English in school. I can still have small conversations in French. And my English is okay I think.

[birdgirl73]

English is my native tongue. Spanish a close second since my parents began us on a course of second-language Spanish study when we were toddlers. Then we lived in Spain for a time during my kindergarten-first grade school years and were immersed in it by going to Spanish schools. They made sure to speak both languages in our house, but I'm not as fluent as I wish I were in Espanol anymore because I don't get much occasion to practice it in depth.

I can speak, read, and write some very basic French, less and less every day. Again, not enough practice.

I can read Latin thanks to six years of study in it.

And then there's my amazing skill at Pig Latin. That's a tongue I really shine in.

[Nochowderforyou]

Holland is mijn geboorteland. Ik spreek veel van het niet omdat ik nu in Canada leef.

I speak Dutch with my close family still, but not often. Only when my younger cousins are around and have no frickin clue what we're saying.

I've been in Canada for 10 years though now, and I learned both languages in Holland while living there. Both languages are used very often around there.

[birdgirl73]

I never knew Holland was your native country, NoChowder, or Dutch your native tongue. You're so facile in English that I just naturally assumed you were a lifelong Canadian. I'm impressed!

[Nochowderforyou]

I never knew Holland was your native country, NoChowder, or Dutch your native tongue. You're so facile in English that I just naturally assumed you were a lifelong Canadian. I'm impressed!

Yes, it sure is. I learned both English and Dutch growing up in Holland. Plus when I was in college a few years back making up for lagging in high school, I learned SO much from my teacher and learned everything from proper grammer, spelling, and sentence structure. I was planning on becoming a writer at one point, so I've always been good at writing.

I'd like to still be a writer someday though. I'm good at it and have a good imagination.

Sprekend Nederlands wanneer anderen niet weten wat u zeg, amuseert naar mij. ;)

Take care.

[cannabis campbell]

Just english know some spanish but would love to speak it fluently or french aswell as much as I hated the language in school.

[Staurm]

Ik kan spreek een beetje nederlands ook, maar engels is mijn moeder taal. Het is een heel moeilijk taal om te leeren, de vooral grammatica. Er zijn alleen twee landen in de wereld waar dit taal is nuttig, Nederlands en Neerlands Antilles.

I speak a little Ducth also, but english is my mother tongue. It is a very difficult language to learn, especially the grammar. There are only two countries in the world where this language is used, Holland and the Netherland Antilles.

[Hilder420]

Wow! I didnt expect these many people! Thats so cool!!!! what a smart bunch we are!

[Reefer Rogue]

I got a grade B in french for GCSE, i got a D for AS amd i'm taking my A2 right now. So, i can understand a fair amount, i'm still progressing. I wanna learn Dutch when i move to the Netherlands, even though they speak English, i still think it would be cool.

[Born To Stone]

English is my mother tongue and my best mark at school was in English, used to do Spanish but stopped and am going to pick it up again very soon with lessons/work experience in Spain (if i can get it)....remember some basics so i can get by e.g. Oiga camarero, una cerveza por favor! :D

[GHoSToKeR]

I'm learning Japanese! :D

[GreenLadyOfDankDowns]

Je parle le français un peu couramment. C'est une belle langue et j'en suis tombé amoureux quand je l'ai étudié depuis deux ans dans le collège.
LOL, I hope that came out right. It's been a while since I've used this language, and even though I took two years of French as I said, I have probably forgotten a lot of it simply because I don't use it on a regular basis. I was so disappointed, because I came down with pneumonia right before our class was to go on the coveted senior trip to France. I missed out on that unfortunately, but hope to be able to visit that country someday.

[aspasticbull]

English is my native language, I also speak Spanish and German, and a tiny bit of Chinese

[CanaDanKs Inc.]

I'm almost perfectly fluent in English now..
Je suis nee en parlant francais..
Y un poco espanol!

[thcbongman]

Ich spreche ambitizen deutsch. Ich schreibe sogar kleiner.

[randomdude]

Dude Afrikaans is alot like dutch man, I get the basic idea when I read dutch.

[KingsBlend420]

I've lived basically half of my life in France and half of my life in the US, so I speak both fluently without noticeable accents. It's pretty cool and I hope it gets me somewhere in life. I'm getting a minor in French just because I don't want to lose the language.

[thcbongman]

Dude Afrikaans is alot like dutch man, I get the basic idea when I read dutch.

You'd be able to understand their conversations as well. They just can't understand Afrikans, it's funny.

[psychocat]

Ik ben Engels maar ik hou van Nederland.
(instant translation)
I'm English but I love Holland
I lived there for 12 years and I think the people are beyond cool and the country is awesome.
Being able to speak Dutch also makes it easy to understand a lot of what South Africans say too.
I can speak and read German too and my Spanish is pretty poor but I can just about manage a basic conversation.

[Tadder_Nervosa]

Je parle le français un peu couramment. C'est une belle langue et j'en suis tombé amoureux quand je l'ai étudié depuis deux ans dans le collège.


Tu parles "un peu couramment?' comment est-ce que possible? C'est tres drole ma femme verde!:D

[Shovelhandle]

ditto <G>

[GreenLadyOfDankDowns]

I meant to say I only speak French somewhat fluently, Tadder. As you can see, it's been a while and I'm rusty. It would help if I still had my English to French dictionary.

[Tadder_Nervosa]

Aw, I'm joking sweetie. I make a fool of myself talking to foreigners-especially mexicans. I studied French for six years, so it's ALMOST natural to me now. Like I said before, repetition is the mother of study! Tu as un chat joli! Ce nom est...?

[mattisnotonfire]

English (mother tongue), fluent arabic, fluent polish, good chinese, some spanish and some bullshit.

[fifka101]

fluent in english, polish, and can somewhat speak italian.

[klondike_bar]

the americans are indignant about learning another language, yet the dutch speak 4 languages and smoke weed! -bad rewording of eddie izzard

my highschool certificate says i am bilingual (french/english) but i havent even spoken a word of french for about 4 years now....

[bobthenuker]

I ugh..speak English...I used to know turkish, georgian, and french...but like I don't know them anymore :wtf:, oo but I know russian well, I was all over there before short life

[Tadder_Nervosa]

qu'est-ce que la pointe de poster la message "who hears speaks another language..." sans escrierant l'autre langue que tu parle? C'est foule!

[CanaDanKs Inc.]

Ton francais est vraiment rouillee mon ami :P

[geonagual]

Je pourrais continuer Ã* france de la marijuana et d'une prostituée de rue. LOL

[Hilder420]

Ton francais est vraiment rouillee mon ami :P
hahahaha

Je ne sais, se me olvido... I have nothing to prove thank you very much.

[CanaDanKs Inc.]

hahahaha

Je ne sais, se me olvido... I have nothing to prove thank you very much.

Huh... did you take that personally or something? ;)
I was talking to the guy above me...

Anyway, on another note, nothing to prove now?
where is the motivation then?

I feel that having a point to make or having something to personally prove ourselves is a major key element in staying motivated! :thumbsup:

[Hilder420]

no, i was laughing at you pointing out his french is rusty. I responded to his stating the fact that I didnt post anything in the languages I claim to speak.

[CanaDanKs Inc.]

Hahaha little miscommunication there :P

:jointsmile:

[GreenLadyOfDankDowns]

Le nom du chat était Panic. Elle est morte l'année dernière. Elle était une bonne amie. Whew, hope I didn't butcher that. LOL. Yea, with alternate languages, if you don't use them, you forget a great deal.

PS) This thread has inspired me to get my old language lab tapes out of storage.


Aw, I'm joking sweetie. I make a fool of myself talking to foreigners-especially mexicans. I studied French for six years, so it's ALMOST natural to me now. Like I said before, repetition is the mother of study! Tu as un chat joli! Ce nom est...?

[Esmada]

I speak the to languages I need to master. Norwegian my native language(thats wery similar to sweedish and danish )
And offcourse English that allows me to interact with u guys;-))
I've tried learning german but my adhd did'nt allow me to master this language.

[Tadder_Nervosa]

I have 2 huskies, had a pug, and my furry little benji-look alike. Cats and I don't get along. You guys way up are silly. Is my french really that bad? Oh geez

[Hilder420]

well that was unecessary.

[Unknown American]

I speak, read and write both English and Spanish. I advise any American to become bilingual. If nothing else it will increase your abilitiy to earn more money.:)

[slipknotpsycho]

i know a few choice phrases in spanish.... shit that would get me in trouble :D

i know enough spanish to know when someone's talking shit about me... i can't read or write it at all tho.... just have to hear someone speaking it.... but when you're the only one in a kitchen that doesn't speak spanish you kinda learn a few things lol...

[Dave Byrd]

I know some basic medical Spanish, but every time I use it I get myself in trouble when I can't really understand the answer I'm getting to the question I've asked. I took a year of Latin in college. I'm not naturally gifted at languages, My wife sure is, but her family did that by deliberate design. I'd be gifted, too, if someone had spoken both languages to me since babyhood and sent me to two years of early schooling in Spain right at the peak of the language absorption years (4 to 6). It's fun to watch her, looking deceptively Anglo, switch into Espanol among a group of Spanish speakers and impress them with a perfect Castillian dialect. She's a helpful translator to have around.

[Old Stoner]

I know a few choice 'uns in spanish as well, and even speak a little Redneck. :D
