What languages does everybody speak?

[Michael_C]

Just wondering, what languages (aside from English) does everyone here speak?


I'll start.


I speak Japanese well enough to not need English when I'm in Japan, and a smattering of Malasian.

[xine]

An embaressing amount of Tagalog (the main dialect of the Philippines).

Well, I did speak decent spanish but I'm rusty now. I'm looking to take German classes, though. And Latin. Whoa do I need Latin.

I can read Spanish surprisingly well, but I can't speak or write in it to save my life. Apparently, I have a one-track mindset when it comes to composition.

[hop_goblin]

Fluent in Spanish, can understand arabic, Italian, portugese to some extent.

[Space Samurai]

I can read a little French, and I speak even less. I'm learning Japanese right now.

Please serenade me in Tagalog

...hmmm...speak, just English, but I was always a wizz when it came to writing Spanish and learning the grammar, just never got the speaking down.

And after years of trying, I have given up trilling that damn "RR." So, I am willing to try any language where trilling R's is not required.

I have been looking for the right opportunity to learn Chinese and/or Japanese.

Speak English, but I know enough of Biblical Greek and Hebrew to work my way through the Bible in the original languages given lexical references and time.

How about swallowing your R's like in German?

Knowing Biblical Greek is the shizz.

I spent my high school career, as well as my college years, studying Spanish. I got to be quite good at it, too. Unfortunately, I haven't used it since then and it's dwindled to practically nothing. *sigh*

I've wanted to learn Latin, too, but find it a bit difficult to work out all on my lonesome.

[Michael_C]

That trilling 'r' is common in Malasian also.

Start Japanese right away! It will take a good two or three years, if you study for at least two or three hours a day, before you can communicate in any meaningful way. There's no time to waste! And spend as much time as you can with Japanese people who don't speak good english.

I- of course- speak English, but also I am fluent in American Sign Language. In addition to those I know a very tiny amount of French and Spanish.

[gemmellian]

Fluent French, Creole, rusty Japanese and horrible Chinese (my ancestors are rolling in their graves). Learning German currently.
