What languages do you speak?

[leon315]

I lived my childhood in many different places of Italy and I also have my job here so I speak Italian everydays, but I'm also Chinese so I'm very fluent in mandarin too.

Do u guys know how did I learn my English? Well, thanks to crapcom which released breath of fire 3 without any other languages but eng! I managed through entire game with a heavy dictionary near me! XD and I checked every single dialogue with it lol

Alright, update.

I can speak English, mostly US but also a bit of UK English. Native language is Filipino but I rarely use it outside of school. Learning French a bit so I'll be ready for 9th Grade. Can speak HTML as well as JavaScript.

I implore you to learn British english. It's much more detailed and people won't think you're a prat when you speak.

I use British English along with my best British accent in my speeches. It makes me feel somewhat smarter and confident than usual.

It does make you appear more intelligent. I've been to america and people thought I was 'posh'. I'm from kent, I sound like a farmer compared to most english people.

It also attracted more ladies when I used it publicly

Noticed that too. Other countries find british people attractive for some reason. I blame Hugh Grant.

I have the opposite problem and everybody thinks I am evil, especially when combined with my leaning towards the verbose.
It is not far wrong but it does annoy.

Also if you want proper farmer talk then skip to about 2 minutes in


I was out and about on Sunday and met someone that spoke like that. Only just about managed to cut through it. Guy was probably only in his late 40s as well which is pretty young for it to be that thick -- it mostly lives on slang and odd words from what I have seen, I don't know how old that video I just posted is but I would have pegged those guys in it as some of the last to truly speak that way.

 

[Saiyan Lusitano]

Portuguese of Portugal
Spanish of Spain
British English (i.e, spellings and such 'cause whilst speaking it's a mix of UK/US)

So putting aside that I know Spanish, that's still kind of pointless because while watching Narcos it's hard to understand what the actors are saying in their Latin Spanish accents. I'll have to say though, it's pretty awesome to see Wagner Moura on an actual show than a soap opera.

Edit: Some additional info.

 

[Halvorsen]

First language: English
Learning Japanese intensively.
Taking Spanish at school and got the hang of what I'm learning, and since I live in Florida, people are surprised when I understand what they're saying in Portuguese, which is similar to Spanish. After this, I may learn French just because.
So, in all
English.
Know a lot of: Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese.
Planning to learn: French.

 

[leonmagnus99]

English/German/Kurdish(my mother tongue)/ and a little bit of arabic..

i would love to know more Japanese, honto.

 

[Deleted User]

I know English, some Welsh (hello anyone else in Wales!), and some French.
I also can speak HTML, PHP, Lua, and Python.

 

[Deleted member 333767]

I can speak intermediate thai (ethnically i am 100% Australian btw) which i learned just from being an expat there for 3 years. Although it's very informal, i can talk to Thai friends decently, but when i watch the news broadcasts in Thai language i struggle to keep up.

I had a Vietnamese girlfriend for a while too, where picked up some very basic Vietnamese. I also became very proficient at Indonesian while i was in primary(elementary) school which i still kind-of remember.

I wouldn't classify any of those skills as fluent though. But i can get myself out of trouble in those countries when there's no english speakers around

 

[Pacheko17]

Portuguese, english and spanish.

I learned Japanese when I was young but I forgot all of it because I didn't use it for a longe time, re-learning now though.

 

[mgrev]

i'm not sure if i have posted earlier, but i know Norwegian, English and a bit of german.

 

[TotalInsanity4]

I have significantly improved on my German since last posting here, to the point where I can figure out what I'm reading (as long as there aren't too many complex words involved). Speaking is a little bit more difficult, though, and listening is still a nightmare

What do you think about my English? I was reading posts I made from 2014, and oh god, that was horrible.

You're VERY fluent right now, at least reading/writing! I never had the pleasure of seeing you in 2014, but it was interesting watching you improve over the last year and a half
