Do you know any other languages?

I'm native Norweginyan but I understand and can speak some Swedish, but Danish is hard.

I've also lived in Japan and I can get by, also working on getting better at translating from Japanese now.

I currently try to learn Russian but the grammar was a lot harder than anticipated, especially conjugation.

I'm a native English speaker with a sort-of fluency in Canadian French. ((Growing up Canadian, especially on the east coast, you just kinda absorb it through daily life, haha)) Grade-school French classes were abysmal though, so I've been brushing up on my own with Duolingo. c: Super fun and useful!

I know snippets of a handful of other languages ((Spanish, Afrikaans, Dutch, etc)) just from traveling, family, etc, but nothing to write home about.

In the Philippine schools, all subjects are delivered in English except for Filipino and history. Some of our words are inherited from Spanish because we were colonized by Spain for hundreds of years.

As I'm half American and half Brazilian, I speak both English and Portuguese fluently. Since I'm at the conversation level at my school, I guess I can consider myself a french speaker? I can definitely carry on a normal conversation at this point. Seems like it's so common for people to be from a different country and use English to be able to spread their work, though! It's interesting to see how global the language has become. (:

I'm a native English speaker, but I know a wee bit of Spanish.

@quakeulf Grammar hard in an lauangue, I speak Korean and read and write, just as I do with English but if I go back and actually try to learn English Grammar and Korean Grammar it's a lot more complicated then I realize. I think it's just something that we pick up but never actually think about how those words are used. I could image, but to me all those Languages aside from the Japanese seems hard

@graceroche Is Canadian French different then how they speak in France? I never thought of it before, but I figure I'd ask . it's good to know you know some of different Languages. it's a good experience to learn different things.

@wendybirdx that's wonderful you are both american and Brazilian, you're parents must have spoken both to you? and Conversation is the best part of about a language. I did find that very interesting that English is a basic communication for a lot of sites. it's good that people know at least English, I love the idea that we can be from all over and still communicate.

@maelstrom51210 knowing a bit of another language is always a good thing. and English helps us all communicate.

[bakasama25]

Uh, I think that joke went over head.

[niczchan]

True! It's fun to learn other languages~ Especially when you wanted to say something secretly just not to let anyone know xD

Yeah, actually! I mean for the most part it's the same but there are some pretty distinct differences. There's a whole article about it if you're into that sorta thing, haha~. It's pretty cool how one language can evolve so diversely in different parts of the world.

[c1gwendoline]

My native language is french and i can speak English and Spanish ( I'm half Vietnamese but i only know a few words :/ )

[Mikayi]

At least you know a few words in Vietnamese. and since you know the others you can still learn Vietnamese if you wanted and probably pick it up fast

[shatterjure]

Well Slovene is my native tongue, with English being my second. (I sometimes talk with my friend in english for the hell of it and look at others struggle to understand us xD)

[Mharz]

I'm from Philippines so my main language is Filipino although I only know one dialect (Tagalog) we have so many dialects here but all the terminologies are different that you could say it's a different language altogether. Anyway, we're pretty fluent in English because it's being taught from nursery to college plus it's some kind of a requirement that you can speak in English.

[nessiefynn]

My first language is English and I kinda know Mandarin, but I'm not very good at it. I'm kinda alright at reading stuff but I'm poor at conversational speaking. ;_;

[Mineu]

My native language is Spanish so I speak it very fluently. Then I know English and I'm learning French right now. In understand a little bit of Italian and Portuguese but mainly because they are very similar to Spanish. I wish I could learn Japanese but it's hard to find a school in my area that teaches Japanese so I've been mainly studying online and watching anime hahahaha

[Mikayi]

that's interesting. so you speak English to confuse others to understand? that must be a lot of fun, I do that in Korean but I don't have many Korean friends since I moved.

[Mikayi]

@avimHarZ: I didn't know that! learn something new everyday I never knew there was more then one dialect there. I knew about Tagalog but that's it. I did hear that they learn English.

@nessiefynn I learned Mandarin, I can't remember how to read it fully. I can understand it, but I can't remember how to write it . I can still speak it.

@Mineu: Spanish is hard for me, I know Italian because my sister and dad. it's similar, but I have difficulty learning Spanish. possible because of the Asian languages I've learned before any other. really? I do know that but seems Japanese is getting popular to teach around the US. but I don't use it since I left Okinawa. seems not a lot of people know it here. but it's not a hard language to learn.

[Mineu]

@Mikayi: Well, yeah, Spanish is hard. I know Spanish because it is the language everybody speak in my country. Really? I'm happy to know it is not that hard!! Those kanji always freak me out hehehehehe
