Re: What languages do you speak?

I was raised speaking Cantonese, and I use to yell at my older brother and sister for speaking English when they started school. I couldn't understand a thing!!! then i started school, and now i'm fluent in English and Cantonese. Actually, my English is better than my Cantonese. haha

I took French up until gr.9, then took spanish for a yr, but can't remember a thing!

Then I took Korean and ASL (American Sign Language) in university. Forgot my Korean, but still remember some of my ASL. That class was so fun even though we couldn't talk.

I speak Dutch and English (both British and U.S.) fluently and German conversationally. I also understand/speak reasonable French and a little bit of Spanish.

I can also read/understand South-African (a language that resembles the Dutch language a lot) and Pennsylvania Dutch, which is basically a mixture of old German and Dutch.

Most Dutch people speak multiple languages, since (British) English, French and German are mandatory in highschool.

I speak French and English fluently, my German and my Italian are quite good (but a huge lack of practice make them worse) and I also speak conversational Arabic. And after 3 months in China, I've learned some stuff but not enough to have a clever discussion with anyone!

Erm, English and jibberish.

I can also say 'I am 12 years old' in German (I'm 26!)... I did lessons for 3 years and that's that best I can manage, there really is no hope!

I'm only fluent in Danish and English, really. (And, since it is often claimed that Scandinavian languages are so alike, I must add that I only understand a little bit Swedish and Norwegian.) I also understand German quite well, and I dabble in Italian and Russian.

I took Latin in high school and almost failed, soo...
