I speak English, Esperanto, and Spanish.

It looks like very badly spelt Japanese numbers (1-10)

English is the only language that I know fluently, but I'm gradually catching on to German (which is really easy since the grammar is so similar), I can thouroughly offend someone in Spanish, and I used to know how to say something very rude about someone's mother in Mandarin (have since forgotten, damn my drinking!).

Fluent in English and French, learning Latin, Japanese and Scottish Gaelic.

I speak English,a evry little bit of spanish, and some Elvish

I speak English and Spanish.

I can read somewhat in a few other Romance languages, but I am by no means proficient in them.

Native English, bochi-bochi no Nihongo (naniwa kotoba hogen), espanol un poco.

Watashi wa mago no maguro desu.

And the numbers were spelled correctly...

I am only fluent in English, but I can swear in German, Italian, Spanish, and French quite well.


http://www.insults.net/

I speak English, Spanish, French, and Latin.
I know a small amount of german (I hung out with nazi-wannabes back in high school), and just enough Russian and Italian to say "Hello", "What is that?", and "Fuck off" (the basic essentials for any language)

I am fluent in English and Gibberish. I have some spanish.

Isn't Tolkienian Elvish basically a mix of Finnish and some other language? I'm sure I heard that somewhere...
I would really like to learn Finnish though, but I hear it's really difficult, being so unique and all.

I can speak the following languages:
-German (my native language, of course)
-fluent English
-French (learning it at the moment)
-Latin to some extent

I forgot to mention that I speak WASP, old sport.

English is my native language. I used to speak Spanish quite well, but then I started taking German, and now I get the two all muddled in my head. I can still understand Spanish fairly well, but I can't think of the words I want to say anymore. My German is absolute rubbish.

I speak English very well... and i can write first class french and understand it too... now as for speakin... its subpar but i blame that on my texas accent... lol.. and if you want a laugh get me to talk in Spanish..two years of the class and 18 years by Mexico and i still cann't speak it

English, Chinese.

Teeny weeny bit of French.

Learing Spanish.

Two kinds of West-Flemish, Dutch, French (once I was good at it, but I neglected it for about 5 years, cause I don't have need for it, give me a month in france and I'm on top of it again), English, basics of Spanish (castillian), took a course in it, planning to go to a next level, once spent a some time in germany and could express me quite well, Dutch and german are a wee bit alike, but ... my german is really really chabby :p. I can understand some Latin and German writing.

Languages I speak:

I started copying English from tv when I was 7. Can speak it fluently now.
Je parle un peu de français aussi.
I know some Turkish, German, Spanish insults but nothing more than that.
I'm also learning Ancient Greek and Latin at school.. Hard to actually speak it, can understand both pretty well.

English, I can get along in Spanish alright...and I know just a tiny bit of German and Hawaiian.

I speak Dutch, English, a bit o'German and French.

My mother tongue is English but I can get by in Finnish, Swedish, Japanese and Gaelic. Too lazy to become fluent in any of them though.

English pretty well, German not nearly as well, Slovenian excellent, I can speak Croatian... uhm... a bit better than I can speak German.

I can speak English Dutch German French and italian

Swedish (mother-tongue) and English. Also, can understand Norwegian and Danish (as they are similar to Swedish).

With a smattering of Welsh, French, Mandarin & Afrikaans

English, Afrikaans, French, can understand Hebrew and Russian when its spoken and German

Dutch, English and a small amount of German and French.

English is the only language worth knowing. ALL others (including Latin) are for failures. This includes people who were born in countries where they would have no chance of learning English.

I speak English, et je parle francais.

If one speaks 1337 do they speak a language? (I don't but I just had to ask that)

I speak English, et je parle francais.

I also have limited vocabulary in Chinese and Japanese.

If one speaks 1337 do they speak a language? (I don't but I just had to ask that)

Here's a short paper on 1337 as a dialect of English (http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2002/2/20/15052/8453). I expect there may be more scholarly papers out there, or at least under consideration.

I speak English and started learning French at school a week ago.plus if you have to know I can count to ten in Korean thanks to Tae Kwon Do lessons

Englsih, Spanish, French, some Dutch and learning Japanese

-French
-German. Needs work though.

I theoretically should understand Afrikaans (with its Dutch roots). I think it sounds funny.

Enlish mother tongue, Good french, can just about get by in Dutch, German, Flemish(though thats jsut a dialect) and Afrikaans. Also rudimentary korean and Hebrew

Tell what languages you speak, and please BE HONEST if you only speak English put that. Don't start saying you speak 22 languages just to make yourself look good, because everyone knows that's not possible.

It is possible. I read a book about some famous Victorian explorer (can't remember his name now. poss. Richard something) who could speak at least 25 languages fluently and get by in another 20 or so.
I knew a woman from Bourganville who could speak 17 langauges. Papua New Guinea has over 700 languages, so anyone growing up there naturally learn many. Your neighbours might speak a different language. In fact the woman I knew, her grandparents spoke a different language.
And growing up in this sort of enviornment trains your ability to learn language, so she could pick up and learn other languages just by hearing them.
So it's not impossible. Just tought I'd correct you there.

I'm hopeless at languages. I have no ability in that particular intelligence. I can be told a foreign word a hundred times and I'll forget it pretty much immediately. Which annoys the hell out of my Hong Kong girlfriend. If it's written down I can remember it, but my aural memory is hopeless. Which also explains my complete lack of musical ability. I couldn't hum a favourite song I've heard a hundred times. I simply can't remember how it goes!

Anyway, no-one has yet mentioned the obvious language all posters here are fluent in:
Talking Shite. :p

English, French and Japanese.

I'm also considering taking up Lithuanian.

I speak English.

I also speak German and Greek pretty fluently, know a few basic words and sentences in French, and im learning Thai

I speak spanish and english fluently, latin, ancient greek well, (I learn at school) and french fairly badly.. only GCSE level

It is possible. I read a book about some famous Victorian explorer (can't remember his name now. poss. Richard something) who could speak at least 25 languages fluently and get by in another 20 or so.

Sir Richard Burton (http://www.knowledgerush.com/kr/jsp/db/author.jsp?authorId=255&authorName=Sir+Richard+Burton).
He had an unusual facility with languages and in his lifetime, he learned 25 languages and forty dialects. He was able to impersonate a native-speaker in many regions which earned him special commissions with the army.

Enlish mother tongue, Good french, can just about get by in Dutch, German, Flemish(though thats jsut a dialect) and Afrikaans. Also rudimentary korean and Hebrew

No you're not, it's pretty useful. Knowing 2 to 4 languages is pretty much standard where I live. Btw Flemish doesn't really exist on its own. It's a collection of dialects. The official language is Dutch here in Flanders.
Sorry. I get a little nitpicky about such things.

I speak english, some german, japanese, learning mandarin next year at uni.
Oh, and i can insult in just about any language (afrikkans is best for that).

Sit jou kop in die koei se kont en wag tot die bul jou kom holnaai. :D
( from here: http://www.insultmonger.com/swearing/afrikanns.htm )

Eto, TH, did you really want to say "I am the grandchild's tuna"?

Yes. I knew what I was saying. (Though my Japanese is still pretty poor. Especially my Kanji.) I figured saying something ridiculous like that would be the best way to find out who spoke Japanese. The people on this forum have a tendency to correct everything other people say. ;)

And the numbers were spelled correctly...
;)

I know damn well they were spelled correctly. Which is why I was a bit miffed when Klonor said they were "spelt badly". Maybe he was joking or just isn't familiar with the appropriate romanization of japanese characters.

American English fluently and learning Colloqual (Egyptian) Arabic.

I'm also gonna say mandarin cause there's no way anyone can prove that that was a blantant lie.

I speak Swedish, English and a little german

I love ausie talk! I sometimes watch those ausie soaps to hear them speak. Such a good laugh. :D (I'm laughing as we speak, just thinking about it :D and I don't know why...or maybe I do, I once saw a very good sketch on the fast show) :p


Anyhow I wonder how many ppl would change what they wrote down in the thread if I were to empose that "knowing a language" is being able to conversate correctly in the very country where they speak the language.

I don't speak English.

No hablo espanol.

No parlo italiano.

Je ne parle pas francais.

Watashi wa mago no maguro desu.

Ooooh, this one I like.

I don't speak English.

Ik spreek geen Nederlands.

Ich spreche kein Deutsch.

Nemluvim Cesky.

I slur in English, curse in French, and say "cheers" in Gaelic. Can't really speak, I'm afraid.

I speak Finnish as my main language, eli puhun suomea äidinkielenäni.

I speak fluent English (I got 10/10 of it at school!)

I speak some Swedish, since we have to learn it :sniper: , grr, varför måste vi studera svenska språk, när du inte måste studera finska språk?

I've been studying French for over an year now, mais je ne parles pas francais bien...

Now I'm trying to learn Estonian, which is very similar to Finnish :) . Te jotka räägide eesti keelt, opettaga mind ;) .


Sorry, Estonians, I'm bad at Estonian. If someone would like to teach me, my MSN address is carman1@mail.com . I like your language! Finno - Ugric languages rule!!

I speak English and Russian fluently.

Yes. I knew what I was saying. (Though my Japanese is still pretty poor. Especially my Kanji.) I figured saying something ridiculous like that would be the best way to find out who spoke Japanese. The people on this forum have a tendency to correct everything other people say. ;)

:D I did have to ask my overly educated linguist friend (niken level 1, and getting more advanced) if that was an idiomatic exporession I didn't know. And kanji are a bi***.
And yep, pedantic pedagogism is rampant here. I almost have an excuse - I am a teacher after all....

I know damn well they were spelled correctly. Which is why I was a bit miffed when Klonor said they were "spelt badly". Maybe he was joking or just isn't familiar with the appropriate romanization of japanese characters.

Sorry, that was pointed towawrds klonor not you. I'm guessing it was his mistake. ;)

:D I did have to ask my overly educated linguist friend (niken level 1, and getting more advanced) if that was an idiomatic exporession I didn't know.

It's not that I know of, and none of my Japanese friends recognized it at first, they just thought I had made a mistake. I actually just made it up to screw with people's heads, nice guy that I am.

And yep, pedantic pedagogism is rampant here. I almost have an excuse - I am a teacher after all....

I'm guilty of it myself, and my only excuse would be that I'm training to be a teacher.

Tell what languages you speak, and please BE HONEST if you only speak English put that. Don't start saying you speak 22 languages just to make yourself look good, because everyone knows that's not possible.

English, Farsi (Iranian), and Arabic (but not too well ;))

Anyhow I wonder how many ppl would change what they wrote down in the thread if I were to empose that "knowing a language" is being able to conversate correctly in the very country where they speak the language.


Not me. I claimed native English - 24 years in the US, conversational Japanese with a fair bit of the Osaka dialect - I have lived in Japan 13 years with 10 being in Osaka and can communicate effecitvely in Japanese well enough to sit down to a family dinner at my GF's house and participate in the conversation, and I claimed a little Spanish - grew up in Texas surrounded by enough native and non-native speakers to pick up a small but useful vocabulary plus I spent a month in central Mexico as a student - it's very rusty however.

English
Japanese (good Tokyo dialect)
Spanish
French
Italian
some German


But, it's all conversational (except for the English, of course).

I thought you had changed your laws now so that Swedish is no longer a compulsory subject in Finnish schools?
Anyhow, we don't have to learn Finnish in Sweden simply because it's not an official language here-and of course Swedish is in Finland.

I speak one language really fluently: Norwegian
I speak English fairly well.
I know a little Russian, will try to learn more at a later date (have been busy lately).
I learned som German at school, but have forgot most of it now (was never really good).
Can understand Swedish and Danish, though it's hard to understand written Swedish or spoken Danish.

English and Russian.

I don't know if someone can be said to speak Latin, but I can understand it.

English, a touch of french, and I'm learning German.

I speak Tamil, English and Hindi fluently.

And Malayalam, Kannada and Telugu haltingly.

English, Spanish, Cree...and I'm great in the comprehension department of both written and spoken French, but rather weak still in actually speaking it.

I can speak French pretty good, my latin has gone downhill...

Brazilian Portuguese, American English, a little bit of Tupian, some verbs in Esperanto, one or other word in Japanese...

Edit: Oh, European Portuguese and British English too...

english some italian,some russian,and a decent amount of french

i knew english and greek when i was young....but thanks to the quebec goverment i lost my greek in exchange for french. :headbang:

English is primary, Spanish secondary, although at this point I've forgotten quite a bit. I had more practice when my Ecuadorian abuelita lived with me. I can pick out some words in French and Italian when I hear it, but I'm pretty ignorant. I'm going to make sure my little ones can speak at least three. If I'm lucky I'll learn a little bit along with them.

English is my native language
I'm in 8th grade and have been taking:
Spanish since 1st (Know it quite well)HOLA!
Arabic since 7th(very difficult, don't have much of a grasp) AHLAN! and I'm
planning to teach myself as much Italian PRONTO! (similar to spanish, so shouldn't be very hard) as possible before I go next summer
EDIT: I can read, but not speak or understand at all, Hebrew SHALOM ALECHEM!

I can speak, German, English, and Japanese.

English is my first language, but I have also spoken fluent Farsi my whole life. I am majoring in international business, so I will be taking six semesters of another foreign language as well, which will most likely be French.

Tell what languages you speak, and please BE HONEST if you only speak English put that. Don't start saying you speak 22 languages just to make yourself look good, because everyone knows that's not possible.I speak English, French, Castellano, understand Italian (my sister is learning it and quizzes me verbally), am learning Valenciano (but I could definitely use a proper teacher...), am learning Mandarin, understand basic written German...
I would like to learn Russian, Arabic, Ojibwee, Japanese, Cantonese, Polish, Basque, Hindi... I have a list somewhere, can't find it just now.
Keep in mind that I'm only 17. I would like to study languages and linguistics in university, and I have no doubt that I am capable of learning twenty (or more). It has been done.

I know English and Spanish fluently, I have a small French vocabulary and a decent grasp of the grammar so I can converse a little, and I know considerable Latin. I also know many, many disjointed words in ancient Greek, but I couldn't string together a sentence with them unless it was a prefabricated saying like Gnôthi sauton ("Know yourself" —Socrates). Occasionally I'll know a random, very exotic tidbit like Sanskrit bhrngara meaning "gold" or Aramaic alaph meaning "to teach" or Tibetan gewa meaning "virtue" or Tupi tinga meaning "white" or Plains Cree lipwil meaning "frying pan," etc. :-D

English and Navalese.

Navalese is very easy to learn and many people who serve in the Navy speak it well. All one has to do is is insert some form of the word "F**k" in between most every other word spoken.

Example: That fat f**k section leader stuck poor f**king me with the g***amn f***king midwatch again! F**k!!

English, good French (still studying) and adequate German.

I speak English and Irish.
I have a very limited knowledge of French and I can translate Latin, but I can't speak it.

English and Dutch (and some people think my local dialect is nearly a language on it's own *shrug*)

Plus a few words in French and German.

Plus the word for "beer" in several languages.

I speak English fluently (native language) and Spanish almost fluently. I have a reasonable background in German and Latin. I know enought to get my ass kicked in French and Italian, and I am slowly learning Tagalog--Ilocano of course.

Romanian, English, French.

Polish and English.

german (mother tongue)
spanish if you just gave a couple days to get back into it again

learned esperanto once for a couple of weeks but forgot most of it
will understand most of portuguese and catalá

En ce moment, je dois admettre que j'appris le francais, et j'espere que en l'avenire, ce sera devenir une langue deusieme pour moi, mais en le sujet de les autres personnes qui n'appris jamais parler un autre langue, il faut compter que le plupart de lesquels n'aura jamais et n'avait jamais la chance d'apprendre un autre langue.

(My first tongue is english, my french is rudimentary, but I would sincerely like to become bi-lingual)

English, French, a bit of latin. Shall be doing Russian at university, whch ought to be fun. :D

you call that rudimentary?!

you call that rudimentary?!

I have 3 bi-lingual people in my class, try that for being confused for 2 hours on one afternoon.

english,irish,german.a couple of words in some other languages.the most imporant phrase to learn when going to spain 'une grande bier por favor'if you learn nothing else you'll be fine.

well my irish isnt that great.but in ireland we have to learn it,its a pathetic attempt to stop the language from dying out.its forced on children at an early age(4 or 5),most likely because children are meant to find learning languages easier when they're young.unfortunately irish is thought before history so children have no idea why they're being made learn this language,and by time they find out they're sick of having it forced down their throats and they dont especially want to learn it.

English, some French, Spanish, a little German and Welsh.

All with accents except Welsh

Nah, but I really want to study Latin. I might just do that when I start University in a year or two (depends on if I get drafted or not).

I can assure you that Latin is thoroughly enjoyable, I would hesitate to advocate Greek to anyone though.

English is my native language (American English, as should be obvious by the way I spell things), and I'm nearly fluent in Spanish, which I've studied for about nine years now (I'm thinking of becoming a college Spanish professor). I'm also taking an intro French class but I doubt I'll ever learn more than the basics of "Hello," "Where is the bathroom," and "I'd like a beer and some pretzels, please."

Scottish Gaelic.

oh can you teach me?

English ( American ) is my native tongue, but I speak pretty decent Spanish, and could pick it back up in a relatively short time. I also speak a smattering of Vietnamese, Japanese and Tagalog ( although you shouldn't expect much out of those since it's been too long since I used them ).

Je parle le français assez bien et
I speak english well, as it's my first language.

I'm also gonna say mandarin cause there's no way anyone can prove that that was a blantant lie.

NE HOW

English, Spanish, French, Italian.

[QUOTE=Enisumentela] Sindarin QUOTE]

cool I know a couple of words in Sindarin.

Dansk er mit modersmål

English would be my first foreign language (spoken fluently)

Je peux parlez le francais, mais mon grammaire et vocabulaire sont assez mal.

Ik kan niet nederlands spreken, kan jij dat niet begrijpen? (basically, I can read without too much trouble. I can communicate enough to get around, but i'll be looking for the words and having trouble with fast speakers).

I can read about a page of german every five minutes and decipher it. I'm working on trying to learn it.

English and smattering of Afrikaans
