Berime Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 English and Hebrew. I wish I knew some language that was a tad more useful than Hebrew but what can you do. Link to post Share on other sites
MetalGoblin Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Well, I'm an ignorant American, so technically I'm not fluent in any language. I put one, though, because I have passable skill in speaking English, if American English counts as actual English. English, Japanese, and Sindarin. Some Quenya. If you count those last two, that is. Oh, and I can speak a lil bit of spanish..but not enoug to count. Teach me! Those are the only two languages that I might actually put in the effort to learn. Link to post Share on other sites

Phoenix9 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I speak English and Chinese fluently. I know a smattering of other languages (like French), but wouldn't consider them as a languages that I know. Even though I studied French for 7 years, I'm not comfortable speaking it for fear of ridicule. Link to post Share on other sites
herpaderderderderder Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I only speak English. I can understand a little bit of French, but I can't actually speak the language. :P Link to post Share on other sites
Saivaraks Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I'm okay when it comes to English, my Irish is pretty good but thats because I've been forced to learn the silly thing since I was three. Other Languages, ammm I can speak German badly, I can translate it grand, I just can't pronounce the words when speaking it -__- ~Rawr Daniel Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I primarily speak English. I've studied both French and Latin for multiple years, and can speak a decent amount of both...even if it is kinda limited. I'm also currently studying how to speak Finnish, and can speak a tiny bit of it at the moment. On a less serious note, which I don't count toward my known languages, I also speak Dinosaur Rawr and the Four Languages Previously Known Only to Dolphins. Link to post Share on other sites
KestrelWings Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 My native language is English and I am learning French, enough to maybe maybe pick out a few words in a conversation but I don't think I could- communicate- quite yet. Language-in-training. I think French is amazing though. Link to post Share on other sites
Bero Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 English is my native language, and I'm learning German and Japanese at school. I've studied German longer and feel more comfortable reading in it, but I feel better speaking in Japanese, even though my vocabulary's more limited (just have had more practice). I can hold a decent conversation (plus copious grammatical mistakes, I'm sure) in both languages, though, so that's something. I also took a year of Irish, but I've forgotten a lot of it... And I also can read Middle High German--not fluently, but enough for comprehension. Because that's useful. :P Link to post Share on other sites
Human Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 And I also can read Middle High German--not fluently, but enough for comprehension. Because that's useful. :P Cool! I've never really understood people who learn only languages that are useful, dead languages and indigenious languages with weird grammars are much more fun to learn. :D Link to post Share on other sites
Okami Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I speak English and German fluently. Although German is my native language, I feel more comfortable reading books/watching movies etc. in English. I have no clue why, though :P Also, I studied French and Spanish several years in school and I understand both quite well. (Not so well at speaking them...) I also took Latin lessons for a year and have been teaching myself Japanese for a couple years now. That's a total of 6 even though I'm only really good in 2 languages.

FrozenCherry Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 2 if English is counted in my case. 3 if also my dialect counts, they say that there is so huge difference to main language that it is already totally different language. Link to post Share on other sites

I've never really understood people who learn only languages that are useful, dead languages and indigenious languages with weird grammars are much more fun to learn. :D Exacly! Glad to hear I'm not the only one, haha. My general philosophy is that I'll gladly learn any language, as long as it's not "practical." :P They're just so interesting! Knowledge for knowledge's sake is a wonderful and underrated thing. The list of languages I've attempted to pick up from starting from when I was about 10 include Welsh, Sindarin, Klingon, Polish, and Old English... the last of which I do plan to actually study seriously someday soon. It seems I'm wired to be linguistically useless, haha. Link to post Share on other sites

charlietango Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I counted two for English and British Sign Language. I didn't know we were counting regional dialects (Scots - my first language probably ^_^ ), or computers (I know BASIC and HTML...And I can write a mean cascading style sheet... Ahem). Actually, now that I think about it, I was taught French for six years. I just managed to forget it all within the space of about a week. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites
AnyOtherName Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I'm gonna go with 2.4. 1) English (native speaker) 2) Japanese (in my second year of study, so I can converse passably. Access to a dictionary helps a lot. >.>) 3) Spanish (semi-fluent in high school before I stopped studying. I could pick it up again after a few refresher lessons.) Link to post Share on other sites

Miccetta Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Italian (native tongue), english, scolastic german, scolastic mandarin chinese. Of course I can understand at least a bit of spanish, but just because it's quite similar to italian; I never studied it. Link to post Share on other sites
Amara Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 My native language is English and, as we seem to be including dialects, I'm fluent in Yorkshire. :P Despite that, I've been told on numerous occasions that my accent is 'southern'. XD In terms of other languages, I spent seven years studying Spanish so I'm pretty fluent in that, and I can speak bits and pieces of German and Japanese. Also, I'm currently in the process of learning Latin and I'd love to learn Italian at some point! :D Link to post Share on other sites
