What languages do you speak?

What languages do you speak? out of curiousity since I know alot of us are from all over.

I speak Arabic and English with native proficiency (Arabic, then English and Italian). My Italian is fluent but I sometimes get tripped up over small phrases...

My Russian is very good, but not quite fluent. Hard to find someone to speak to at school in it (and my class is terrible).
Working on my French, but it's a half-hearted effort ~.~

English, and I'm working on French (I'm in French 1 at HS and I'm planning on taking it all four years). Hopefully, that will help me become fluent.

I speak Vietnamese and English fluently. I've taken 6 years of French during high school and college, but I don't speak it as well.

Re: What languages do you speak?

English as a first language, conversational German and Indonesian. I really should pick up some basic Cantonese for work; I'm located in one of the biggest shopping areas for Chinese tourists and the language barrier is a total stumper sometimes.

Re: What languages do you speak?

Finnish, Swedish and English fluently, a little bit of German and Russian but not well enough to actually communicate with native speakers, I understand them but they might not understand me ;D

Re: What languages do you speak?

English is my native language. I've taken French classes since I was 10, and I majored in it for a year before I switched...I've gotten a little rusty since then, but I think I could manage! I minored in German at the same time.

I've tried to teach myself Italian, Russian, Latin (useful, right?), and more German, but I'm at basic levels of those.

Currently, I'm teaching myself Arabic. It's difficult!

Re: What languages do you speak?

English and conversational French. I really need to practice my french, as I'd like to stay up with it, but I can't really find anyone to practice with.
I've taken some spanish and arabic, and I'm teaching myself a bit of Russian.

Languages are one of my loves in life. I'd love to take more language classes, but my schedule just doesn't allow it. I was also planning on a study abroad, but I won't be able to do that now (but it's for a good reason- internship!)

Girl trust me you'll pick it up if you hear it spoken. You just have to get the accent down. Reading is EASY too because everything is written how it sounds so you just memorize the sounds of the letters and you're good.

Re: What languages do you speak?

English, Mandarin, and working on Japanese. I also speak Teochew (a Chinese dialect) and um, Singlish. Which is essentially broken English mixed with Malay, Chinese, Tamil, etc. words and phrases, and a "language" that people generally aren't proud of, but hey, it's a total science to speak it right!

Re: What languages do you speak?

Dutch and English fluently, Englisch being my first language. I'm still learning French, but I'm not good at it.

I also had German classes for two years, but I chose French over German, probably going to get German classes in one and a half year.

Re: What languages do you speak?

WOW you ladies are quite impresive!

Medusalox - I totally want to learn both Latin and Greek! I think they would both be incredibly useful for learning other languages.

I'm trying to talk DH into taking Italian, and then French I think is next on the list after that.

I would absolutely love that! I can definitely help you with your english in exchange for you helping me with my french, if you'd like! I'm so scared I'll lose it all, but I still can understand and read things quite well, but I'm just worried I won't have opportunities in the next several years to really practice.
