Do you know more than ONE language?

[xstre pwnsx]

None fluently, but I know some Japanese and German.

I learned Spanish in high school. I wanted to learn Japanese but my mom said "No, it's too hard. Learn Spanish instead." (I was homeschooled)

I didn't retain a lick of Spanish and now I'm self-studying Japanese in my spare time. I can read basic sentences and my vocabulary is limited. I know some kanji.

 

[RinkuSonic41]

Native Spanish and Italian, and self taught English

 

[Exannor]

I took two courses of spanish back in highschool that I barely remember and I'm currently learning japanese through duolingo and through a free class since I plan on moving to japan after working for a couple of years after I get my bachelors and after I take a couple of small trips there to get used to the environment until I plan on moving in either 2026, 2027, or 2028. The year that I move depends on how bad my state in the US gets.

I probably sound like a super weeb with what I just said, but no, I'm not that sort of weeb that the great papa franku used to talk about 3-4 years ago. If you want that sort of person, you should talk to my friends lmao.

 

[RaptorDMG]

Native in English and I know enough Japanese and Spanish to be able to get around and enough Russian to introduce myself(then promtly say good bye and run off since that's all I know)
As for computing languages I know Java best, then HTML, CSS, C++ and Python to an ok level with a small amount of JavaScript

 

[zxr750j]

Dutch, English, German, French, a bit Spanish and can order 2 beers in most languages.

 

[Proto-Propski]

Just curious.
For me... I can do pretty good with Spanish, English, French, Italian and Portuguese. But mostly the first three.
And I sorta can read Japanese and Russian.

Do you guys know more than ONE language?

Aside from English, I have a tenuous grasp of Spanish mainly because I wanna know when my friends are talking shit about me. Aside from that I've gotten an even smaller understanding of German, TBH I just like the country (not so much the history) been learning it on my free-time for whenever I choose to visit, not to mention it's close enough to English being that they're both Latin based, that it's not a pain in the arse to get into, just a plus.

Actually, English is a Germanic language. Though it does have a lot of Romance influence from Latin and French (twice).

My native language is Belarusian, but my parents and I moved to Canada when I was 9 years old. Now I am 16 and I am still learning English. Strange huh? My conversation is excellent, but I can't write by the rules. But I am trying to learn this language. When I am asked to write something, I always write in English and then look for text rewrite on the Internet, and save myself time in order to get more into your language. Every time I compare my text and the text that was corrected for me, and faster and faster I sort out my mistakes, and less and less I make them

 

[KokoseiJ]

kinda necro, but would be a good post to revive.

I'm native korean, since I'm a weeb I can do basic japanese(the fact that korean and japanese are very similar also helped), and as you can see I can do english. some say it's somewhat fluent? but I'm not so sure about that.

so, 3 languages I guess.

 

[DinohScene]

I know some languages but I highly prefer English.

 

[Issac]

I'm native Swedish so I obviously speak Swedish. English is something taught from a really young age, so most Swedish people can speak it at least somewhat well.
Being Swedish I can also understand Norwegian (written and spoken) and Danish (written and very slowly spoken).
I learned German in school, but I forgot almost everything - I can understand a little bit if I read a shorter text though... sometimes.

I am currently teaching myself Japanese through various sources online, but I think it's really difficult without some proper structure that classes or a tutor can provide. It's fun, but I am nowhere near the level I want to be. I can understand some written text with the help of dictionaries and can write some easier sentences, again with the help of dictionaries. My vocabulary is quite small still, but I feel good about the grammar

 

[Dust2dust]

French and english, for me, living in Montreal. I learned some spanish in college back then, but it's mostly forgotten now. I only remember the most important lines, like "Una cerveza por favor"

 

[CMDreamer]

I can speak/read/write in Spanish and English. I can understand Italian, French and Portuguese up to some extent, and do understand some words/phrases in Russian and Japanese. I'm willing to learn (speak/read/write) Russian, Ukrainian (not the same, even though they're similar), Japanese and Turquish.

I never stop trying to learn something new.

 

[Shadowless]

Four languages. I lived in three different countries during my childhood.

 

[Deleted member 518296]

Yes, French and English. I speak English quite well but I have a terrible accent

 

[spotanjo3]

Priority: English. know some Portuguese. For deaf communication: American Sign language fully, know some Portugal Sign Language and some British Sign language in ABC fingerspelling.

 

[g4lahad]

English, german and a little bit french

My mother's tongue are Spanish and Galician, which is a regional language spoken in the northwest of Spain. I live very close to the border with Portugal so I more or less understand it. Besides, I have been studying English and French since school. Here in Spain, there are state-funded public language schools where you can learn many languages at reasonable prices.
