Do you know any other languages?

[Vanadis]

I think Norwegians have an easier time understanding Swedes than vice versa, right?
And Danish is apparently like speaking Norwegian while having a hot potato in your mouth (a norwegian described it that way to me, haha XD)
Hei fra spania ^_^ (men jeg er engelsk)

[Vanadis]

English (native), Norwegian, and I'm kinda intermediate-bordering advanced at Spanish now. Also know quite a lot of Catalan since everyone here speaks it. I know some German and I'd like to learn more, and a bit of French (the Spanish has helped my French weirdly).
I'd like to learn Japanese too, challenging...I only know like 3 words of it haha
I'm from England and I find my original accent really hinders me with most other languages, ugh, the dialect from my home town completely drops R's and many other consonants so I have to be careful to speak clearly, even in English >.<

English is my first language, but I speak French and Japanese as well. I'm learning German at the moment, as well as a little Portuguese and Spanish (I'm going on a trip and just want some basic phrases ^w^ ). I sing in Italian and Latin as well, but I wouldn't really be able to hold a conversation. I tried to learn Danish once, but it's really hard imo haha. Maybe one day...

[Kyosu]

more less. but i know perfectly the dialects of north italy. °w°

quindi baciamoci le mani!
e fassema na piadeina con mozza e prosciutto!

My native language is Hungarian, but I guess I can speak English quite well, but I know I still make some mistakes >_> Also I learned and I'm still trying to learn French, and I know a little Dutch, mainly what I picked up in Belgium. I tried German for some months, while I studied there, but I decided I have enough problems already with my French so I'll try to stick to it :S

I'm terrible at learning languages, it's so hard when my own language doesn't have much similarity with any other language >_>

Also about the Hungarian language :

My mother language is Italian, but I speak English and I translate my own comic.
Then I am supposed to know French and German (I studied it in high school), but I never practiced them since the end of school.
I still understand and I can speak some French, but I don't remember much about German. German is a very difficult language and needs to be practiced constantly (at least for me ).

@TheVoidchildProject I see a lot of people so far are learning Japanese, that amazing. and Swedish? I wonder if it was hard to go from Swedish to English.

@legendriders96 I think English is a common language for communication. but Serbian? I don't know if I heard of that one before. that's wonderful to know you translate the comic into another language. that's amazing to learn all those language!

. @niinasalmelin I'm glad you let me know, I don't know many languages in familiarities other then the ones I'm used to. it's amazing to see there's a lot of people that learn English as their second language.

@jessiepolfliet So English is a second language. that's really neat, I always wonder if English was hard to learn for non English speakers.

[Mikayi]

@zoonland that's wonderful you translate your comics! I don't get to see a lot of comics in other languages because English it seems is a common ground for people to communicate. especially on a site like this. I bet it is! I heard German and it seems hard for me to learn just by the sounds.

@shinepaw Haven't heard Hungarian in a while, I think English allows for a lot of Mistakes, since I know in the US English is more slang then actual speaking. learning Languages is hard takes a lot of practice, and th ank you for the link! I'll look at it.

@cielle Oh my that's a lot of langages there under you and you sing in Italian! that's wonderful! and latin too, singing always harder then speaking that's amazing!
@Vanadis Catalan is new to me I'll have to look that up. I heard that Spanish has some similarities to French but there's a different accient to parts of the sounds.

@UltimateGallo I know someone at work from Mexico I heard mexico and Spain have different dialects. I do that sometimes I write a page in Korean but it's hard to translate it back to English. because of the meanin behind whats being said. wonderful you do your comi in another language!

[Noglastiaa]

yeah xD I have yet to meet anyone on tap that speaks bengali. But even kids here dont really learn it much other than how to speak it. Learning it was super hard tho. It has its own letters and grammar and what not so it took a lot of work to learn. lol I still cant really spell and my reading level is grade 5 at best xD

[Starfestival]

My native language is English, I understand Spanish somewhat but I can't speak it. I'm also teaching myself Japanese, Korean, and French.

[AnnaLandin]

I think Norwegians have an easier time understanding Swedes than vice versa, right?

Probably yes - but I think that might be mostly because of a historical Swedish cultural dominance (we used to own Norway) than it has to do with Swedish being easier to learn.

And Danish is apparently like speaking Norwegian while having a hot potato in your mouth (a norwegian described it that way to me, haha XD)

YES. Norwegian is Swedish with a funny accent - Danish is Norwegian with a potato in your mouth. XD (please don't tell the Danish I said that).

Hei fra spania ^_^ (men jeg er engelsk)

Hej hej från Sverige!

[Mikayi]

you don't know how happy I am to hear you say Korean! I'm Korean I get excited when I see people wanting to learn it.

seems like a lot of people leaning towards French or Spanish and Japanese. it's actually really nice your learning all of them.

[monotone_ink]

I learned a bit of German and I know how to say '420 blaze it' in Japanese, if that counts.

[niczchan]

Hmmm... I speak Tagalog (a Filipino language), Mandarin Chinese, Malay and English~ xD I'm learning Japanese, so this might make my 5th language.

[Mikayi]

@monotone_ink I don't know how to say that in Japanese. but even a bit of another Language is always good.

@niczchan I work with someone that speaks Tagalog! and good to know another person that learned Mandarin, the tones are fun! wow! that's a lot of Languages there. but they are always fun to learn

[mappypaint]

I speak tagalog(Filipino) and english. We did have a japanese as a foreign language class back in 3rd and 4th year highschool. I wish I took it seriously then I could've been watching anime without subtitles. ^_^

[UltimateGallo]

I know someone at work from Mexico I heard mexico and Spain have different dialects. I do that sometimes I write a page in Korean but it's hard to translate it back to English. because of the meanin behind whats being said. wonderful you do your comi in another language!

The spanish is the same, but some words have different meaning, Like "Panchos" in mexico is a band and in Argentina means Hot-dogs, and in spanish every country or even in the saim country there are words meaning diferent things in my state to the kids we call them "morro" and in other state they call them "huerco", spanish can be a little complicathed.

Sometimes wen I writte a page I think the page on english, or some prases and then traslate, or vise-verse (I don´t know if it is a word on english) and then try to "tropicalise" for the otrer lenguaje (in animation the dubers "tropicalise" the jokes even on anime and change famous people names for local people.

Thanks, I get very sad when Tapastic erased the traslate button, it was berry useful, and so you don´t need to make various series in diferent lenguajes.

EDIT: Rigth this moment I am writing a Haiku for a page, and traslating it to english (from spanish)

[Mikayi]

that's wonderful! in school our languages was either Chinese or Japanese. and then English because it was something good to have to communicate. did you have that in the Philippines? Cause from the people I speak to in the US they normally have Spanish

[TheVoidchildProject]

@Mikayi Actually, the japanese is something I haven't been able to stay active with since I started my studies at university or later when I started working. I do try to maintain a bit of it. Watching anime doesn't hurt.

And going from Swedish to English isn't all that difficult, mainly because we're taught from first grade and grow up very much exposed to both the english language and culture in Sweden. =)

[sarrowsmith10]

Spanish was much easier, but I live in a Spanish speaking area. I spent a summer in Japan, so when I was there, my Japanese was much better. We were in a rather remote area, not too many english speaking folks, so you have to learn kinda quick if you want to get around...
