«May/may not learn»

Yes, I'm a language nerd...I will not deny that...I've chosen linguistics as my major for a reason xD

Anyway, what about y'all?

 

[Mifune]

I speak english, french, vietnamese and chinese. Im currently learning spanish at school (it's an obligatory class this year but oh well I'm liking it). Learning japanese would be cool.

 

[victra♥]

I know English, Cantonese, Vietnamese and I was learning French throughout school. (lol sup Mifune). I kindaaaa want to learn Korean cause im fanboyish like that <3

 

[Cinder]

I'm also thinking of learning Mandarin, btw. It would help for when I get a job as a translator ^_^

 

[BlackLightning90]

I know spanish between the low and middle level.

 

[ru5514n]

I speak English and Russian fluently. Right now I'm in AP Spanish, so I'd say I have about intermediate fluency in that language. I also know a few words in Belarusian (I noticed it was on your list lol).

 

[~N9NE~]

First language: Aramaic (Jesus' language)

99.9% sure no else on the board shares the same first language as me lol.

I speak English American fluently, and I'm learning Spanish in school, although I speak at ~Fifth Grade level. I'd like to learn Japanese and maybe Italian.

 

[justaway12]

I can speak English, and can somewhat understand Arabic, Arabic used to be my first language, I definatly miss it. I suck at German, but understand somethings here and there

 

[DUB]

I wish I knew another language. I've always wanted to be one of those people in public talking a different language so people don't know what they are saying.

 

[Mifune]

[Denzi]

I speak English and French.

 

[_umbra_]

My first language is English, and I can speak some Spanish and Mandarin.

 

[Mota]

English and Vietnamese. Would've known Cantonese as well if my dad had spoken it to me as a kid.

I studied Italian earlier but failed miserably.

Definitely want to learn Japanese.

Only a bit: Balinese, Japanese, Welsh, and German.

 

[Elder Sister]

[Grim Tuesday]

Esperanto is a universal language, not many people know it so it is kind of pointless but... yeah.

[Attila_]

i speak japanese quite well; been living here for a while now.

 

[Healer]

I know Esperanto as well as my 1st language (English). I also know a bit of Japanese.

I would love to learn esperanto

I'm fluent in.....english
I wish i was fluent (and i'm trying my hardest) in spanish but i've grown to hate the language (wat a morale booster) due to being around it so much (my heritage) and the constant nagging and being made fun of from other hispanics because i don't speak spanish. Ugh -_-

afterwords i'm learning esperanto

those 2 i want to leaarn for sure

but afterwards:
french (sounds cool)
mandarin chinese (great for my prospective career)
japanese (always loved japanese)

 

[OlimarFan]

English and French. I'm afraid that's it. I tried to learn Mandarin but I just couldn't memorise the characters - I got all my strokes wrong, and couldn't pronounce the tones right.

 

[Healer]

well atleast your bilingual, and you tried, have you tried learning to speak first, they say that writing is maddd hard and if your left handed "impossible" but with some dedication i bet some lefthander can do it (hopefully me) teehee

 

[_umbra_]

mandarin is sooo hard, I never would have passed my first semester of it if my professor wasn't amazing ^_^ you just have to keep at it and practice like every day, you'll get used to the tones and the writing

 

[M@v]

I can do basic conversations in spanish, and im working towards fluency

 

[k/mh]

Well, my mother is korean and my father is from Germany and that's also where I live.

- German fluently
- English fluently but not native speaker
- Latin: I can read it and translate sentences into German, but I can't speak it, it's not like I can order a pizza in latin language
- Ancient Greek: same thing as in Latin
- Korean: only the very basics, was able to speak it fluently but I completely forgot it I need to learn it and I also want to
- Basics in Spanish, French and Japanese

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

I speak English and a bit of Spanish. Trying to learn Japanese. And maybe Korean.

 

[Pikaville]

Well I can speak pretty decent Irish and German.(not fluent but my understanding of it is really good)

English is obviously fluent.

I forgot to mention I knew a bit of Spanish as well. It helps when you learn Esperanto because you can say "Oh yes, that's similar too..."

 

[Teran]

English, French, Farsi.

Basic German too.

 

[Yink]

Teran's awesome because he knows Farsi.

-Farsi

I know a bit of Japanese too, taking some classes in College for it.
