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?

Overall I can speak in Malay-fluent, Indonesian-fluent, Arabic(standard Arabic, I hardly to catch with native slang), Thai(lil bit), Cantonese(try to master), and I can understand some Spanish,Japanese and Korea's words but cannot really talk.

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 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!)

We could be friends, I need to improve my english

French is my language, I learned english in school but I'm losing it, bit by bit

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.

I Speak English. I live in California and feel that I shouldn't have to learn another language until I visit another country. Then I will learn that Country's language before hand

I speak French (my mother tongue) & English. Although I've got Spanish and Italian blood, I can't have a proper conversation. I used to speak Spanish a while ago (I've learned it during 4-5 years) but I have forgotten a lot
