What languages do you speak?

[Sheimi]

English, and learning German (I could figure out a sentence if I had context clues and a little more time than it would take a fluent speaker)

The one thing for German is to not laugh at the way the word are being pronounced. I still find it funny how it is pronounced.

 

[Adeka]

I know the ASL alphabet. does that count?

 

[magypsy3]

Brazilian portuguese is my native language but Portuguese from Portugal is almost the same thing. My English is good but not perfect, and I can speak Spanish, not great but enough.

 

[jayjay123]

English, Afrikaans, a little Xhosa and French and of course Rubbish

 

[Reploid]

I got used to it, I've grown up in a family where German is a second language for most of us (so really, it's other people who don't know German who laugh when I say anything with a "ch" in it XD

I forgot that I learned some German such as Herr and Fraülein just from playing Ace Attorney, I also know some French such as Monsiuer and Bonjour. Not sure if my spelling is correct though.

 

[DarkFlare69]

latin is forced upon spain, portugal and france when they were (partly) conquered, so yes they have somethings alike, latin is a dead language, wich is replaced by italian.

 

[Sora de Eclaune]

My high school tried to get me to learn Spanish. As soon as we got enough words in our vocabulary lists that most of my classmates began mouthing off dirty phrases ad infinitum, I gave up on trying to learn the language.

 

[Atlas_Noire]

I just started learning Mandarin and Cantonese, I'm still not that good at it though. I know a few German and Spanish words but I can't exactly group them together in a sentence yet.

Is Spanish a popular language in the Philippines? (as in do many people speak the language there?)

I wouldn't say it is very popular with everyone here, but the Fiipino language has some mixtures of Spanish words.

i forgot, i can understand most of south-african language, since it's almost like dutch... there's double denialor double negativity but when sthey say the words it sounds dutch, and although they have some new words for cars, trains and candy's there's no big problem... just writen it takes me some time, since they write the words really different. they understand me if i speak dutch (and they laugh about the way i say things), and i can understand them if they speak (and laugh about the way they say things).

 

[ilman]

My mother language is Bulgarian.
I've been learning English through TV and games since very little (like 2 years old) and lessons (since I was about 6). I got a CAE (Certificate in Advanced English) 3 months ago.
Now I'm learning Russian at school, since ~80% of the words are the same as those in Bulgarian, making it easy to score good grades.
Next year I'm gonna start some lessons in either Mandarin or Japanese, so that by the time I finish high school I know a far eastern language.

In terms of programming languages, my main pick is C++, although I know C# at a decent level and know some Haskell and Python.

 

[Katsumi San]

I understand four languages, but only speak three. Japanese, Spanish, English(difficult) & Portuguese. Portuguese is only heard. Not spoken, little read.

Don't forget"von Karma"

Hm.. which one for example? Would be interesting to hear how the language "feels" for someone learning it later. Difficult?

It's Afrikaans~

When I was small Polish was main language (didn't know English till junior kindergarden) now English took over and now I struggle with Polish but still can get by getting my point across by using words that are similar: What tires do you have for your car? what kind of circle do you have on your car?
( could never read or write ) Quit learning French as soon as I could (grade 9)

Don't use it, lose it is the moral of the story.

I speak French natively, and learned English by watching videos and going on various websites.
