How many languages do you speak or would you like to speak?

[Moonspell]

Re: What languages do you speak?

Portuguese, Spanish, English, French and Italian, however the last two I don't practice a long time a go but I can understand.
One curious thing is every time I'm in Spain I always talk in Portuguese and I always receive the feedback in Spanish and we can have a good conversation in two different languages without misunderstanding the meaning of words. Its fun, I can tell!

The next language I would love to learn in the near future is definitely German. I love so many things in Germany, specially the great Doro Pesch in the Warlock time (80’s) and other amazing bands. I was in Germany once and it was such a great experience.

Re: What languages do you speak?

I speak Tagalog, English and French quite fluently. Although my French sounds more Quebecer than "Parisien" (but I can turn the Parisian on command). I also speak Spanish, although not as fluently! Gotta love globalization!

Re: What languages do you speak?

Wow. So much talent on this board.

My first language was English and Sicilian. Have lost fluency in the latter but picked up Indonesian (and a smattering of Tetum) in my teens when I lived in Indonesia for a year.

I would love to learn Arabic.

Dania and Fairuz have taught me much but to live in an Arabic speaking community as I did in Sydney would be great to be in again.

Re: What languages do you speak?

English and I am very good in French-written and reading I could use some help, since I haven't taken a class in 3 years, and spoken is difficult sometimes at first, because I start rushing too much and forget all the proper forms sometimes, but I sound very authentic to many people. My high school prof de Francais was from Alsace, so in a way I guess I picked up the accent from her.

Then my English can go to Canadian/Southern/New Yorker accents at the drop of a hat...people are like "Where are you from" and they're shocked when I tell them that I'm a born and bred Seattleite.

I would love to learn Croatian and Russian though, as well as Hindi...

Re: What languages do you speak?

my first language is English. I grew up with German, French and Spanish because my family is...diverse.

My mom speaks about 10 languages fluently, so I tried to pick up from her what I could.

Right now I'm working on German, Latin, Greek, Russian and Arabic. I have to learn them for the masters program I want to get into.

I'm just glad that I speak English because I want to move to Melbourne with my fiancé and one of the requirements that we were told was fluency in English.

Re: What languages do you speak?

English and I learnt Arabic and French in school. Arabic, I've mostly forgotten cuz it's been 11 yrs since I left the Middle East, I just remember words and a few phrases (and alot of swear words lol). French, I can read and write but I suck at speaking it.
I had learnt Marathi when I was very young (grades 1-3) in India but I've completely forgotten that. I also took Hindi for one year but then moved to the Middle East and never had to study it again.
I would love to learn Portuguese, my grandfather spoke it and my dad knows a bit ... also Spanish which I was kinda teaching myself but didn't really pick it up.

Re: What languages do you speak?

I am sooo impressed at the diversity on this board and how educated everyone is! Makes me feel silly only knowing 2 1/2 languages, hehe.
Spanish was my first language. I spent my first 7 years living in Miami. As a Cuban in Miami you don't really have the need for english, hehe. I learned English when we moved about 70 miles north and I started school. I have no Spanish accent when I speak English, so no one can ever tell that it wasn't my first language.
I took French from 1st grade-12th grade. That's my 1/2 language! I went to Paris right after graduating high school and I could hold my own in a conversation. Now that it's been 11 years since, my French is a bit rusty.
