English, 3rd Year Japanese (LOL still not that great). Thinking of learning Korean and possibly Mandarin, but thats getting a little ahead of myself lol....also maybe French.
You'd think that but learning Languages is only about repetition and regularity.RAKtheUndead said:
English. I took Spanish classes in high school, but my teachers were awful and I managed to bypass foreign language in college. I would love to learn another language but I have a really hard time learning methodical/logical subjects (language, math, grammar, etc.). I feel I wouldn't focus well enough to achieve success in a language without suffering through incredible frustration or a personal tutor. However, if I had the opportunity to I would love to learn Japanese or Spanish.
Why, good sir, I do believe I have been ninja'd.TheTaco007 said:
I can speak a few random words here and there from Japanese, Spanish, French, and Italian. I really try to learn words, phrases and grammar, but I'm not the fastest on the uptake or retention when it comes to languages. I'm terrible at coding because I can't remember proper coding structure. I embarrass myself when it comes time to pronounce things, and generally will end up butchering almost any language I use, English included.
I speak English natively. I speak Spanish and Thai conversationally. I speak a little Japanese, but not too well.
English, a few broken words in Latin, Italian, French, Japanese, and German, and a intermediate level in Spanish.
English is the only language I'm properly fluent in, but I have a decent enough handle on Italian to get around, and I've also studied German, ancient Greek, and Swahili. Such is what comes of a linguistics major.
Your whole post, minus the Arabic and the majoring in a language, is me. Yes, the whole post, including the fanaticism.Thaa said:
Fluent Chinese ( as I've been told from almost every Taiwanese person I've met )
Some phrases of Taiwanese, but they are anything, but perfect
My Japanese kinda sucks, but put me in a room full of Japanese people talking and I'll come away with some idea of what they were talking about
And English of course

Finnish as a native language and some English, adequately, although I barely ever actually speak it.
This is one of those things where cultural differences come into play. If you ask a Finn what languages what languages he/she knows, you won't hear a language unless the person can use it very fluently. Few phrases and a couple dozen words count for absolutely nothing.

Norwegian, hell yeah!
And English, obviously.
I understand alot of other languages, but I can't speak them. That includes Swedish and Danish. Basic, often partial, understanding of a language is something completely different than actually being a proficient user. As a rule of thumb, you need at least two years of active use and study of a language to be able to communicate at a sufficient level. Most people think their language skills are better than they are because they understand themselves. However, how we understand ourself is, more often than not, far from how other understand us.

English is my first language and I can speak French proficiently. My roommates all speak multiple languages proficiently though. Between three of them they can speak: Japanese, Chinese, German, Russian, French and German. It makes for very interesting conversations 
Well I can speak Swedish and English. I am trying to learn Japanese and I can understand a bit basic Spanish.
British English, a few words of German from school, thats about it. I'd like to learn another language like French, German, or Russian but to be frank I have other things i'd rather do with my time (games)
Spanish is my native language. I understand English quite well, but I'm not so good when it comes to expressing myself. I should be able to speak a little French since I studied it in high school but I didn't pay too much atention...
I can also understand Italian, but that's beacause it's like spanish with a funny accent and moving your hands too much.
