Do you know any other languages?

[Mikayi]

Hi again so as I look through the intros therese to be a lot of people from different places. I was curious to know, does anyone know any other languages? Do you speak write or even translate your comics?

I speak Korean and English, I write and read it too. However because I never actually learned the Korean keyboard layout well I " chicken peck" when I type but the phone I can type on it well, iPhone allows me to change the keyboard without app and the phone.
I studied : Mandarin Chinese and Japanese. Japanese I can still understand it but I can't always speak it back anymore because of lack of use. So it takes me a moment to think of the words.

I haven't yet translated my works to Korean, but I do once in a while write the page in Korean just for fun.

So anyone else out there know any languages other then English?

Hey,
wow you must love languages :D.
I speak and write french and English, and can speak a bit of german
What language to prefer?

[kkitty]

Japanese was my first language
I prefer English though because I'm not in Japan right now so it would be kinda pointless

[Vanzish]

Heya!

Well besides English i speak Romanian, German, Dutch, can understand some Spanish and know a little French, which i wanna work some more on. I could translate my comics but i don't. Instead i plan on using the various languages on different occasions in the comic ^^

It's nice that you leaned towards Asian languages. I for one enjoy the Germanic ones.

[miseryhunting]

I speak my native Bulgarian and English. Also a bit of German and Russian and I've basic ASL skills. I'm currently making tentative attempts to learn Japanese and Italian, the latter being way easier.

[J.Lovelace]

My native language is Polish and I am fluent in English and German : )

[gateofselidor]

My native language is English, but I also speak Japanese. My day job involves translating and proofreading Japanese to English for video games. My spoken Japanese isn't great at this point, and I'm not as good at writing kanji as I was at university, but I can understand it well, and convert it into natural English.

@sistalsartworkshop I really do, I know a few words in Romanian but they aren't good words, only because my brother in law taught them to me. Sicilian is another one I don't speak it much, but it's my dad's language and he rarely uses it so it's not anything I can say I'm completely fluent in. but wow! German and French. the best I can do in French is ask for coffee. LOL I prefer Korean, only because it's easier for me English was so hard to learn! but lucky I started as a kid so it got easy after a while. but I love Chinese too. the tonal is so much fun but be careful if you pronounce it wrong it means something totally different

@PopteenPrincess wow! but you have no one to speak to in Japanese where you are? I work with a few Okinawan they speak Japanese, not Okinawan but awe, Japanese was a fun language to learn though. English seems pretty common. was it hard for you to learn English? it was for me I had to go to speak classes, and after a while I didn't realize I wasn't answering in English.

@Vanzish Oh wow! I have a brother in law from Romania I heard him speak before, he only taught me terrible things to say though. but it's a pretty language. you know a lot! that's amazing! where they all easy to learn for you? oh I hope you leave translations in your comic when you do that. I think it was mostly because I lived in Korea and Okinawa so it was Japanese class I had to go to. and I picked up Chinese in collage. I think more or less it was because the syntactic was close to Korean; Japanese was that is.

@miseryhunting wow! that's amazing. I don't know any Russian, but I heard it before. and singing it's an interesting language but I don't know if I could speak it cause the tones I'm not used to hearing so it's harder for me to pronounce. I know a little KSL I wish I knew some ASL since I live in the US right now. you must love learning languages! Japanese is a fun language to learn.

@gateofselidor that has to be a very fun job! if you don't mind me asking, some of my friends when they were trying to learn Japanese or Korean seemed to have a tough time with SOV vs SVO . was it hard for you too? or did you already have Japanese under you? I found learning English was a lot harder for me then learning Japanese.

[dglisson]

Spanish is actually my first language, English is my second but I have no accent in either and my vocabulary in English has grown to be more than there was in Spanish (probably all that Shakespeare).

[sarrowsmith10]

I speak bad English, some Spanish and some Japanese. I am totally proficient in feline though. My cat and I have serious conversations. Seriously.

[gateofselidor]

@Mikayi It's not always fun, but it's much better than the admin-type jobs I used to do, and I definitely get to see a lot of interesting things. I also get on very well with the people I work with, because games is generally an industry people work in because they love it (it's unstable and the pay isn't great, so there are few practical benefits).

I had no trouble with SOV vs SVO. The basic grammar I was taught first was all very regular, so I figured out the patterns very quickly and just adjusted to them. I'm not surprised you found Japanese easier than English. I did a module of basic Korean as an elective in my final year, and I could see it had far more in common with Japanese than English or any other European language I've studied.

[Noglastiaa]

Aside from english I know bengali. It's my first language i think. I usually just speak it with adults but after i lived in Bangladesh for 6 years, I learned to read and write it too. And i'm more fluent. But I use it much less after moving back to america. lol

[Vanzish]

@Mikayi Romanian is my mother language, German i basically grew up with, English was easy and Dutch too since i knew German ^^
I didn't take much interest in French before, also due to our teachers, but i'd like to know it better. Spanish is easier to understand because of Romanian.
I will always translate if i use a different language ^^

Do you plan on learning more in the future?

[Kyosu]

I speak English and Italian with all of its dialects °w°

[kkitty]

I have a lot of media in Japanese and my mom is Japanese so it's alright, but I only speak Osakaben, not the actual normal dialect.

And my English may LOOK okay, but it's so far off from my actual thoughts since I haven't learned it correctly. Also I'm moving back so there's kind of no point in my learning more than I have to.

[demthorshie]

I speak English and Spanish, as those were the two languages I was raised to learn. I also know how to speak and read conversational Japanese (Kana/hiragana).

[Ringarune]

I speak English, some Polish, and I took three years of Spanish in school, but I'm far from fluent in that XD

[gruetzi]

I speak bad Engish and Spanish. Spanish is my first language :B

[Lee]

Spanish is my native language, I also speak english (duh), some basic chinese and I also took a semester of italian but didnt really learnt much

[sauropasquini]

My native language is Italian, but I know english as well, I can understand French and a little bit of spanish. I'm also used to understand a little bit of hebrew, but I cannot read or write it.
