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

Re: What languages do you speak?

English, Kapangpagan, and Tagalog. And I have this uncanny ability to speak to babies. lol No Joke!

Oh and just for a change I'd like to try speaking in a different accent. Maybe British or Australian...like Madonna or Tina Turner did. Hmmmm...

Re: What languages do you speak?

I speak English, conversational Cantonese (honestly not that great at it, I get made fun of all the time by my family, lol) et un peu de francais. My written and reading and listening is pretty good but my speaking is mediocre.

I'm fluent in English, Spanish, Hungarian and Hebrew. I know a pretty good bit of Japanese and Korean as well.

Re: What languages do you speak?

American English and Spanish fluently, though I tend to stumble over colloquialisms. Working on Arabic. I can't wait to be back in school and study Arabic with real people again... Portuguese I can read and understand the majority of it, but if it's spoken to me, I'm hopeless. The accent is far too European for me.

I'm determined to at least be able to get by with my Arabic and eventually Farsi, I'd love to learn Urdu and Quechua toooo :l

I'm so sad I grew up in the states... so many missed language opportunities

Re: What languages do you speak?

I was born in the US so I speak English (of course). I also speak Cantonese, Mandarin, Taiwanese, Toisanese (dialect of Cantonese), and understand some Tagalog (especially when they're gossiping about me!!) lol. I am Chinese and Filipino. English was my first language and the one I'm most comfortable with. I speak a mixture of Cantonese and English with my mom and English with my dad and his side of the fam (my dad's dad moved to the US when he was just a teen) and my mom's side doesn't speak much English so I speak either Cantonese, Mandarin, or Taiwanese to them. I only spoke Toisanese with my dad's mom but since she passed, I don't speak it much anymore. Other than speaking Chinese with my mom and her side of the family, I rarely ever speak it so I sound reallllly weird but I understand it fluently. Lol.
