[Parishoon]

I wish I knew more languages. It's one of my goals to better my language skills, especially the ones I don't know too well.
Currently I speak on a more or less fluent level:
Persian, English

I can get by in a pinch (but need to work on them):
Spanish, German, Arabic

I want to learn:
French, Turkish, Hindi/Urdu, Porteugese

My cousin has a friend who speaks Roma, I think that'd be totally cool to learn it

I speak English. I grew up with my Japanese Grandma who always spoke Japanese to me. And I only know a little, I guess I should of paid more attention to what she was saying. LOL I took Spanish and French in school. I remember very little French. I can understand spanish ok, I know some things, I can't keep up with my spanish freinds. LOL They talk so fast.

I would loove to learn Japanese and become more fluent in Spanish.

I speak french (going to France this summer whoo hoo!) and english but...

I would love to learn to speak Greek because my SO and his entire family basically only speak Greek (well SO speaks english, but not his parents!)... and I want to know what they're saying about me! LOL j/k

I would also love to learn Japanese just because I am fascinated with their culture and anime. I just love the language. I would love to go to Japan someday.

I can speak English, French and Tagalog fairly fluently. Learnt French in school & uni, Tagalog (main dialect of Filipino) I picked up as I lived there for a year as a kid. Went back over a year ago for 2 weeks and in 1 week, I was fluent again. Yea!

I could also survive in Japan on my limited knowledge of the language, it was much better a few years back. Also have a smattering of Spanish from my Tagalog (!) & French knowledge. Tagalog has a lot of Spanish in it, would you believe!

Desperately want to learn German, have some ace German pals and would love to go there too. Also important in terms of classical music. Latin too, but highly unlikely I'll get that far.

 

[YOOTOPiA]

i would like to learn spanish as i only know how to ask questions but not understand the answers hah.

I really need to learn Spanish cuz it would be really helpful in nursing.

 

[vwilliams]

Polish - (In a famillial context - My Mom's side of the family speak it when we get together)

Italian - conversational (I lived in the Veneto and Tuscany for a little while)
Chinese - limited (took it in college)
French - four years in high school

 

[Shanti]

I speak trailer trash.

I speak English fluently, and I don't take French in school anymore but anyways I know the very basic (not future tense... I forgot it from school) stuff. I know very minimal Spanish (I'm taking it in school for the 2nd year now) and I can BARELY speak Laotian (it's in Asia)- but I can understand enough of it to live. =)

 

[stacey]

I speak English. OH YEA!

I want to learn:
Tagalog (my mother tounge)
Farsi (so I can communicate better w/ my in-laws)
Arabic (so I can start praying)
Urdo (so I can understand Indian movies w/o reading subtitles)
Spanish (duh! cause like everyone in California speaks it)
