Can you speak the language of your parents?

[fischju]

Yes, but my parent's language is any, as long as you yell it.

No Gaelic is a full blown language like Welsh is. They don't speak it in NI but it's mandatory in the South.

Has she ever tried to teach it to you or have you tried to learn it? I'm crap when it comes to being multilingual so that kind of put me off, but also I just never really had the urge to.

She tried to teach me it but never got past very, very basic words like hot, shower, clean, you know, momish words.

She did bring my (older) sister to a Chinese school (not full blown, like afterschool or something) and my sister hated it and didn't fit in (me and my sis look 100% American and 0% Asian) so she didn't bother trying with me.

I can speak, read, and write in Korean. Although I may speak read, and write fluently, I seem to forget some words as time flies by....

 

[PizzaPasta]

Sadly, my parents never taught me how to speak bear or tiger.

 

[CockroachMan]

My dad is brazilian, my mom is brazilian, and I can speak brazilian!

lol, seriously, you guys are lucky to have the chance to learn a second language at home.. I wish I was that lucky :/

My mom was an english teacher and thought me some though

 

[Ferrariman]

My Mom is Korean, but I don't know much at all.

My dad can speak Ilocano, Tagalog, and some Kapangpangan (besides English). My mother speaks Visayan, Ilocano, and Tagalog. I only speak English and understand Ilocano, but only a little bit of Tagalog.

Right now I'm trying to learn how to speak Ilocano, but my parents don't have the time to teach me and there isn't a really good learning software out there for it.

Edit: Ilocano, Tagalog, Visayan, and Kapangpangan are just a few of the many languages in the Philippines.

Pretty much, I'm a Filipino mutt

 

[DivineZeus]

Well, uhm... my grandparents are italians, my parents are italians, i am italian and as far as i know, all my family back in time is from Italy, so.... yes, i can speak my parent's language!

You have to explain that these are Filipino languages, most people here don't know what they are.

Both of my parents are from the Philippines, and can only speak Tagalog I think. I can understand them, but cannot speak it fluently.

EDIT: They can speak English of course.
