I try to learn a little bit of as many languages as possible. I think culture is a great thing, and I find languages extremely fascinating.
I can speak my native language, my neighbor’s to the west language, to the east, and to the south, and a little Greek.
So, three and a half.
English and German i was taught at school but i learned to speak them when on holidays in Europe whenever i met with English and or Germans.
The little Greek i know, i learned it in Greece of all places….
- Bahasa = My national language. – Chinese(Tiong hoa tribe) = Parents. Most Chinese people in my country are from Tiong hoa lineage/tribe. The other minority are from Mandarin and Cantonese tribes. – Mandarin = Parents (Dad’s family are Mandarin people). – Cantonese = Parents (Mom’s family are Cantonese people). – English = I study English myself,and I also took several English classes while I was a child.
My native language is English, but at a young age my father had me learn Spanish, so I fluent in that. I’ve picked up a few Russian phrases that would probably get me killed at a club ( I have a Russian friend). I learned a bit of creol from my great grandmother when I was little.
English – totally fluent.
French – can read better than speak
German – can count to 20, and know some words and phrases.
Spanish – I have Sesame Street Spanish. I can count to 10 and say a few words.
I’m fluent in English. I can somewhat speak Spanish—I took a couple college classes in it, but my skills have rusted since then, and I’m much better at reading it than listening/speaking. And I’ve picked up a little bit of Japanese from spending way too much time watching subtitled anime.
English, French and German from childhood. I can make myself understood in Arabic, Urdu and Tagalog (Philippino), learned those in the Army. I can read and write fairly good Latin, from school.
English, and I can sign the alphabet and several (mostly useless) words in ASL. I mean, how often am I going to need to sign “queen” or “ketchup”? I know probably 15 words in French, and fewer than that in Spanish. I suck.
