Does anyone here speak any foreign languages?

Yup, I speak other languages besides english, and I'm fluent in one of them. Also I love accents =] . I'm pretty confident putting them, there are rules for them, but learning grammar rules is a pain... at least for me =(

Grew up in a bilingual house but for some reason Spanish kinda zoomed right past me. I understand it well enough but speaking it back seems to be trouble for me. To make my parents even more confused by me I speak CHINESE better than Spanish and I learned Italian for 3 years which, you know, is related to Spanish as a fellow Romance language.

I speak English (my first language) and some French, but it's been years since I have used it.

The foreign language for me is English, though I'm not fluent, I can speak it. My first language is French.
I also learned German and Italian at school, but god, my german has always been really bad. And for Italian... meh. Not good, not bad, but now I forgot everything. XD

I'm Latina, so my first language is spanish. But I also can speak a little japanese, its almost all gone but it's still there...

Well, English is my foreign language... But I`m too afraid to tell you my native one xDD

I was born in Panama so English is my second language I've lived in the US most of my life though so my only accent is when I try to fake a Scottish one (badly).

While english is my first language, I speak bengali with like my parents and other adults that speak it. I learned to read and write it too for a few years. Its helpful when you're actually living in a country to learn a new language cause well... you need it to read anything

I grew up with English and French, so I'm fluent in both. I took Scottish Gaelic and Spanish at university, and I've kept up my Gaelic, but my Spanish has suffered, and I can only read it now, and only some of it, at that. Someday, I'd like to learn a language I'm completely unfamiliar with, like Arabic or Korean or Russian.

Looks like I'm first in this thread to know Hebrew (I'm from Israel) =) . But my mother tongue is Russian - cause I was born in the Soviet Union.

My native language is Bidayuh language, other than that I am fluent in English, Malay language, Chinese (including a few dialects such as Mandarin, Cantonese and Hokkien). I can speak conversational Japanese but that's about it.

Interesting that a lot of people learn German here, which is my native language.
I'm doing pretty well in English. I even do translations, but not without an internet dictionary.
I tried to leard Russian using only books, but now I visit a course as well. It's just that books don't help you much with pronounciations and the course helps remembering stuff.

We learn German,French,English and sometimes Spanish on high schools here. English is already a main subject on grade school, even Dutch is our native language. English is taught better then Dutch tho.
However I didn't learn French or Spanish or English on school because it was added much later. I learned German through reading alot , same as english (together with gaming)

Native Italian speaker here. I can speak English (better, i can write in English. I rarely have occasions to actually speak, so my accent is really rusty) and a little bit of French.

I speak Polish as a native language. Though living abroad and having almost all friends in US, I don't use it much lately so I'm often catching myself on 'how the hell do I say this word in my own language' problem. It's funniest when I can't remember it in either English or Polish and I'm browsing my brain in panic trying to fill the empty space x)

Also I was learning French for a long long time (about 14 years), but I have never had the need to use is outside of classes. So now, after so many years devoted to learning a language I can say my name, and where I'm from using it... and that's about all. I can understand a little bit more but not much ^

I was also learning Finnish for couple of months when I was n exchange student, and a bit before because I find this language really wonderfully sounding. But also, haven't used it since then and I forgot most. But I still have all my notes and one day will probably refresh my memory ♥

Been a polyglot since I was a wee devil. Born in Poland so, Polish first. Then Greek and English and some mid-level German in school. Got to be fluent in French in uni but it's been a long time since I used it so it's gotten too rusty, though it's surprisingly easy whenever I make an effort to refresh it. Did Japanese for 6 years after graduating but I only got to level 3 and that's also rusty now. At times I've tried to learn Swedish and Korean on my own but I'm not as disciplined as I was when younger so I could never get that seventh notch on my language scorecard, lol.

ASL, American Sign Language. It counts by your definition! I'm not fluent, but I could maybe get a deaf person something they needed. The very idea of communicating that way scares me, but I have enough of it to ask anything I didn't understand. So yeah! Sign language is awesome!

I am not native in English, actually I'm native in Spanish so I'm fluent in Spanish. Also I'm learning French right now
I agree with @Choosybeggar, sign language is awesome! I know Salvadorean Sign Language (LESSA), I'm not fluent either but I can ask and understand one or two things.

I'm a native French so like a lot of people here my foreign language actually is English (I can write it (at least it's understandable) but speaking it is out of question)

Hahaha the same happens to me cribeilletguillaume my native language is spanish, so yeah my foreign language is english xD Im learning german right now but in the basics xD

Aside from English, I'm fluent in Arabic and know a bit of Korean.

Englisch is not my first language I am German, so I can speak german of course, I am quite good with englisch and a little spanish, but I don´t consider that talking at all I was so bad at it in school...
Then again, I am fluent in Latin....just joking xD
Anybody else from Germany?

German is my native language and I understand a liiiiiitttle bit indonesian, but can't speak it myself.
I learned some french too, but it is by far not enough to talk to someone
So English is the only foreign language I can speak properly.

English is probably the 3rd language I studied. My mother language is Vietnamese, I'm fluent in Vietnamese, know a bit of French and can sort of read Chinese 😂 Thanks to all the time reading Chinese novel

As someone studying linguistics this looks like a fun thread. I speak Urdu and Punjabi at home, though I'm not super skilled at it and I mean to study both properly soon. I studied Spanish in high school but never really took it anywhere. In university I studied Arabic. I'm actually hoping to study middle eastern and Islamic cultures from a philological perspective so I want to start learning other languages like Persian as well. I may also have to start learning German and or French since a lot of "oriental" scholarship is done in those languages. I've always been a bit intimidated of Chinese due to its tonal system so I'm looking to study Japanese since I think they both have cool writing systems. Ah, if anyone is interested, google Hajji Noor Deen, who combines Chinese and Arabic calligraphy styles and makes really beautiful pieces.

I'm Canadian, so I speak English AND French! I was also lucky and my mom insisted on my sister and I staying in full French until the end of high school. Most kids (outside Quebec) get to choose to stop after gradeschool.

As it is I'm REALLY rusty, but I can still hold a conversation under duress.

When I made my book 'Towerkind' I got a bunch of people to help me with translations for Urdu, Spanish and Tagalog. It's super useful having kind people on on the internet willing to lend their expertise <3<3

I speak Tagalog (for 'tis my mother tongue) and English, which should count as a foreign language here. I can speak conversational Spanish and Nihongo because of those elective classes I had back in high school, though I'm getting rusty.

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.

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.

I grew up in Spain, so Spanish is my native language. I also know speak English... more and less; I'm on it, haha. I studied French too when I was on high school, but I forgot most of it, sadly :C

I speak Korean . I can read it and write. I can speak a bit of Mandarin Chinese , I can understand as well I haven't used it so long so I cannot read it perfectly. I also know Japanese from being in Okinawa . And English o can understand Italian but can't always speak it bacl.

にほんご を すこし はなせます！

I am English and can speak conversational Japanese, I'm really no master at it but I know enough to be understood I guess?? XD
I also am recently learning sign language (bsl), cos what if one day I meet someone I can surprise by talking to them in it? Might make their day right?? :3
Cool thread, so many different languages spoken here. Lovely to see. <3

My mother language is Portuguese. I can speak English, but I'm still in the learning phase
