Hmmm... Been a whileSit back some time and simply ask yourself, [Link]->"Do you even lift, bro?"<-[Link]
I'm fluent in English (the mother tongue).
I am pretty good with Spanish tho my vocabulary is it a bit too short too understand everything the natives say.
I'm learning Italian (it's SOOO similar to Spanish tho the phonology is different).
And I picked Japanese back up (just started and without tutor for the spoken portion).
I have a Windows Phone 7, and it has 12-Stroke Japanese Input. It's like old T9 for your old flip phone but for Japanese and it's much easier to use on a touchscreen phone.
I speak English , Portuguese Spanish and french. Which isn't much of an accomplishment since i am Portuguese and Portuguese is pretty much the same as Spanish , while Spanish is very similar to french.

I can speak in Spanish (my native language), English and Brazilian Portuguese.
Awesome! You're a Spanish speaker!I can speak Spanish too, and I can understand Italian and Portuguese to an okay extent as a result too. (I understood the Portuguese said in the movie "The Rundown," etc)
I like that Latin-based languages can be so similar at times.![]()
English is my native language. Been speaking German for three years, and currently taking Japanese.
My girlfriend is trying to teach me Mandarin Chinese, and I want to learn a little Arabic is possible.
Norwegian is my native language (which also makes me somewhat able to speak Danish/Swedish), but I also speak English and some Spanish.
English as my native language.
I took four years of spanish in high school.
I guess I know enough to sing a song in Spanish.
Specifically this one:
I tried to learn some Mandarin before heading over to China for a summer, but that's some hard stuff. The tonal business adds a lot of complication on top of trying to create the various sounds we don't have in English, which seem to require shoving your own tongue down your throat.
I think my attempts at the language over there mostly just created comic relief.

Attachment 60426Did you just called the most beautiful and most wonderful lanugage in the whole wide world for "blabber"?

SIGGY PET RAISING WINDOW:
[CURRENT PET STATUS]
I speak Turkish, English and a little German, a little Japanese and very very little Spanish.![]()
I was raised speaking American English and German, and over time I learned Japanese and I am learning Korean.
>>Enter My World<<
Thanks to Ms Lucy for this awesome, funny gif.
The person that you are now is not the person that I used to know. You're becoming a stranger that I've never met before. Not liking the change though.
Russian, Lithuanian, English and Italian I speak quite fluently.
I also know basic French and German from highschool. Studied Latin grammar as well.
Set by me
I can speak English fluently.
I'm currently in Spanish 4 and Japanese 1.
And I want to start learning Korean this summer xD
I speak English, and know some conversation French, Italian, and Romanian.
On this day of days, most epic and prideful, you were born 15 whole American years ago!
Through the odds and by doing the impossible, you beat out hundreds of thousands of siblings in the great sperm race for the coveted egg.
Probably via hax.
Regardless! You won!
So remember, whenever someone picks on you or calls you weak or small.
Just remind them that you beat out a few hundred thousand other wimps.
And the grand prize was not dying!
@SuXrys; @Uncanny X-Man : You understand Danish? I’ve seen that several others here speak/understand it as well. Oh, to be able to read Kierkegaard in his native language!
I’m only fluent in English and Russian; English is my first language. Took 3 years of French and can still read it pretty well, but I’m losing some of the speaking skills. I know a decent amount of Spanish vocabulary, but I wouldn’t expect a nice, long sentence out of me. I’m learning Old English this semester and it’s been great, but I would have had an easier time had I known German beforehand.
As for keeping the languages, Toboe, I would choose to pay the most attention to the languages you’re most likely to use (though that’s merely a repackaging of advice already provided to you).

@Cross Avantgarde well as I am born and live in Denmark it's a given I speak and understand Danish :P
Well... not exactly.
Swedish, danish and norwegian are languages that are close to eachother so even if we do speak different languages, we still can (most of the times anyway~) understand eachother [atleast the general sentence: he said something with this], even if some words are different and the dialects aswell.
For example I use to listen to a norwegian radio station even if I am a swede and can't speak norwegian (I can't, I speak swedish not norwegian; they are different languages after all) but I can still understand most of what they are talking about, even if there is sometimes some words / parts / sentences that I can't understand because some words are little different and such, or because the dialect is sometimes heavy - but most of the times I can follow the radio without any bigger problems.
EXAMPLE!
english: I can follow the radio without any problems.
swedish: Jag kan följa radion utan problem.
norwegian: Jeg kan følge radioen uten problemer.
danish: Jeg kan følge radioen uden problemer.
> used google translate
As you can see it's not that much difference between the nor/swe/dan (not in that particular sentence anyway). It's pretty much the different dialects that kicks in. ~ [Huuu!!!! Heavy dialects!!]. ~
For example: I as a swede can speak in swedish with someone from Norway and I will understand him (most of what he says) even if he speaks back to me in norwegian, and he will on his part understand most of what I say. Danish is not a such problem either for me as a swede to understand. Again, the languages are close. For example once my family where on a holiday in Spain and I where so young back then so I hadn't learned english yet but down there I spent my days together with a young girl in my age but she came from Denmark - but that wasn't such a problem since we still understood eachother [most of what the other person said anyway].
Hope you understand... it's a pain to write something when you are litteraly in pain. Q.Q

I read somewhere that generally we understand around 50% of what the others are saying [reading is easier then hearing, thank you dialects.~]. Like, we maybe don't understand every word that the other are saying - but we can often hear and understand what the other are "sort of" talking about.
