Re: What languages do you speak?

Wow im pathetic, being a 4th generation american i only speak english, and being asian i hardly know anything about my cutural background. My great grandparents are the last to be bilingual in my family, not even my parents are. Sad right?

My husband is hispanic he speaks spanish and fililpino since he was born in spain and rasied in the philpines, lucky bum, I asked him if his dreams were in spanish and oddly they are, pretty cool.

I feel exactly the same way! I would totally love to learn Arabic! It's such a beautiful language and I know so many people who know it.

Makes me feel stupid tho, cause I can't seem to pick it up.

I have tried so many times to learn several languages: German, Spanish, ASL...and I just can't....my brain just....goes *splooshie*...

I feel like just another dumb, stereotypical American...my next step is to try the Rosetta Stone programs...

Re: What languages do you speak?

English is my mother tongue, I also speak my home country's dialect.

Took French 5 years was fluent lost it when I moved to the US 6 years ago because I no longer had anyone to talk with, Spanish I took 3 years never was good but it was more the teacher (I hated her), I had a friend who spoke Portuguese but all I kept from that was the ability to curse, I know some Chinese from my ex step bro, but that was hide and sneak learning my step mother didn't want me to learn it.
I am going to try Spanish again and see how it goes

Re: What languages do you speak?

I used to speak Gaelic reasonably well as a young child, however, since my parents couldnt speak it I lost it when I started primary school. I learned German at school but am really bad at it now and I lived in Denmark for a short while and learned some Danish (speaking was always terrible and writing is now a problem but can read basic Danish still). I always confuse some of the German and Danish.
Learned to transliterate Ancient Greek (which I was good at) at uni and some Latin (which I was really really bad at and despite having a mark of 72% in the essay I nearly failed the module as my exam was such a disaster).
English is my main language but since I'm from Scotland I know Auld Scots and Scots is the main dialect spoken where I'm from but until the SNP got in speaking it in school was discouraged (I know alot of people dont consider these to be real but most of the people I know do). They made us read Doric (a dialect from NE Scotland, I'm from Glasgow where not many people really know it) in the final year at school for English which was a complete nightmare (I wish I had known the copy we were given was in Doric but the hard copy sold in town was in fact in English...)

So I know a little of a few languages but hope to do Japanese next year and in third year (at the very least and hopefully my CV will look less crap and I less of an idiot when they ask about the level I speak of a language...)

[Yushimi]

Re: What languages do you speak?

English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Hakka, French, Korean.
Fluent in all.

I used to know Spanish and a tad of Italian. But all my latina friends moved

so my Spanish just died off. But it sparks back up once in awhile if I hear it again

Re: What languages do you speak?

I speak Chinese (both Cantonese and Mandarin) fluently, good English I would say.
I learned 2 years of Spanish in high school, but I have totally forgot about all of them.
I took Japanese as minor in college, but not very good on it. I think my reading is better than speaking.
I also took 1 semester of ASL.
Learned limited Taiwanese from my family.

Re: What languages do you speak?

I speak Hebrew and English. I know a bit of French, Arabic, Russian and Spanish - I wish I had the time and energy to actually learn how to speak them..
