:ohmy: Wow. Indonesian....Japanese........more lagnuages..........wow....:ohmy:
 
Portuguese is my mother tongue, like any brazilian ;)

I can speak, read and write in english, although I know I have a lot to learn.

Also I can read and understand spanish, most of the time...but I still haven?t got courage to actually speak spanish. Does that count? :)
 
I'm a sad case. I know English and my parents are from Mexico BUT like everybody else I'm loosing it! I just don't speak it on a regular basis anymore. So when I go back to Mexico and visit family I feel like an idiot trying to talk. I also took a year of french in high school!! :yes:
 
:lol: Oh Martha, I'm sure the other languages will come back with a little practice.

I speak English and Tagalog (Filipino). I am taking French classes (can understand and speak a bit).

I can also speak a little Spanish, very little Arabic and I can read and write Russian, but can't understand it. :huh:
 
English is my native language, I also speak German pretty well. I studied German in school for 5 years. So, I can understand German better than I can speak/write it. It takes me like 2 hours to write my German friend one e-mail :huh:

I would like to learn Spanish. I took it for like 6 weeks in school so I know a few sentences. Also my best friend lives in Nicaragua - I think it would be cool to talk to him in Spanish :D
 
Speak: English

Studied Russian, Spanish, Latin. Out of those three, I can only speak Russian. I can write, read, and understand spoken Russian pretty well. I just can't speak it. In Russian class I'd get A's on papers and then D's on orals.
 
My mother tongue's Russian.I speak English,some German and
French.I know bits of Irish,too ;).
At uni,I also learnt Latin and some Greek cause I studied the history of the Middle Ages,but promptly forgot most of it after
graduation.
In Spanish,I only know "Te quiero!";)
 
I'm mega super fluent in English. Quite a feat since it is my first language :p

I used to speak Spanish fluently, but lost it when I stopped having constant contact with it.

Mais mantinant, je parle le francais tres bien parce que j'ai pris les courses de francais pour 6 ans. :D
 
I speak Japanese (fluently I guess, I lived in Japan for 2 years, minored in Japanese in school, and did Japan relations for a company for the last year)
 
Foreign languages are English and French, both in school, French could be better though.

I hated Latin for 6 years. But it was easy to learn Italian, which is my third language, even if I don?t know the grammatics very well - but hey, its enough for doing business. And I am able to speak a few words in Indonesian, which I learned 15 years ago.
 
I speak Dutch fluently...;)

Besides that...German, English(I do my best...), French, Spanish, little bit Portugese and Irish. :wink:
I'd love to learn Italian and Russian.
 
Mother tongue is Cantonese, which is a Chinese dialect. I can speak ok Putonghua(i.e. Mandarin) and English. My English is slightly better than my Putonghua.

Learned French for a few months but i don't think i can say i 'know' french... :p

Curious... has anyone studies Gaelic at all? I would love too but unfortunately I have no time. I do speak basic spanish and of course English. I do not know Japanese even though it's in my blood
 
Ya I can never remember how to pronounce all of the consonants and what not :crack:

...and I even have a "learn gaelic by tape" program
 
Agr, gaelic is really hard. I've tried to sing Enya's songs in gaelic but I realy suck... There're some parts I can sing but... :no:
Do you know if the U2 guys can speak gaelic?
 
i only speak english however i do know some spanish. i should know spanish like the back of my hand considering my background, but i don't. :shrug: lol anyway i can pretty much read spanish and understand it when i hear it spoken but don't you dare ask me to start a conversation off in Spanish, i will just look at you like a fool and deny that i know spanish. :reject: i am a sad case.

i also took a half of year of french in high school and know very very little of it.
