Does anyone here speak any foreign languages?

[GesuGesu]

Mmm, my first language is Cantonese. I'm okay in it, like 70% fluent. I can understand and speak most household conversation, but have trouble with proper grammar and listening to the Cantonese news. I can't read or write Chinese other than the beginner's stuff I learned in class.

English is my second language. I took ESL since I was a kid in school. I'm fluent now and majored in English Literature in university.

French is my third language. Blame the Canadian school system for forcing us all to learn even a bit of french starting in grade 4. I took it up to grade 10 in high school since it was the only other language my school offered.

Japanese is my fourth language. I switched from French to Japanese in high school as soon as I could escape the endless French classes. (My second school only offered French and Japanese as second languages) I ended up minoring in Japanese in university, so I can read pretty much any Japanese manga/novel/newspaper/etc. and understand/speak/write without much problem.

Native Language is English.

I can understand written/typed and some spoken Spanish,but don't expect me to respond...without google translate.

I've been learning Japanese on/off for almost 5 years now. I'm OK, nowhere near fluent because I can't construct a complex/full sentence without having to think...HARD. Though I can understand about maybe 30% of most of the podcasts/TV shows/Movies I watch.

I just started learning French a month or two ago. Duolingo has been pretty helpful and I can sort of speak/read/write it already(thought it using the same alphabet as English helps)

I can almost read Korean.(learning that next)

I know your pain, Japanese is very difficult.. The Kanji, the several ways to say "you", and sentences that often drop "I", "me", and "you".

Still, learning some of that enabled me to understand some Japanese terms that the anime fandom uses is a bit twisted from it's original meaning. Like "nakama".

Learning Korean eh? That's almost as hard learning Japanese since it's related to it.

I'm Italian!
English is my foreign language.

[Damatris]

I'm speaking foreign language right now. : D

I'm Finnish and it's also my native language. English is my second and I'm fluent in it too. Third is Swedish and I'm okay with it, just a bit rusty from lack of using. I've also studied German and Japanese for a year but I'm beginner with those.
Sadly, knowing a smattering of words and phrases in Italian, Spanish and Greek doesn't grant me even a beginner's title. xD

Iam born in germany so i speak german. Also i live in switzerland since many years and I also speak swiss-german. If you would count that as a language. For the swiss it does and for a german it sounds like another language because you dont understand a single word, if you dont speak it haha. My first years where really hard because i could better speak english then swissgerman. I was able to follow a short conversation but after a little time my brain just shut down to afk modus, which you could always see on my face when my eyes tunred blank and didn`t move haha. Now Iam fine with both, english and swiss german. I can folllow conversations as much as if it would by german. I even speak swiss-german much better than english now.

[infectedbloodcomics]

Languages spoken here: English, Italian, Spanish, a bit of French. I also studied Middle Egyptian, Latin and Ancient Greek. Alas, I have no one I can speak those languages with :/

[Kirstin]

I can understand a fair amount of German, although speaking it is another story LOL. I'm beginning to pick up some Korean from my new workplace though. Languages are rad.

[tsujin]

I'm from Chile and I speak spanish, english and a bit of French and Italian

[TheVoidchildProject]

Swedish is my native language, I'd say my English is fluent and I speak and write "elementary" Japanese which I studied on my own.

[9outofPen]

I took German in high school and was on my way to becoming fluent. I need to refresh some of my vocabulary, but I still remember a great deal of it. Also took Japanese in college as one of my majors in college! I'm good with languages, so hoping that I can eventually become fluent in both!

[SandraMJ]

Spaniard here: I speak fluently Spanish, Valencian and English (moreso English than my mother tongue, Valencian, haha). I also read and speak Japanese semi fluently, French, and then some German. Self-taught plurilingualism, ho!

[Emma]
