Languages

Hey, you all.

You may know that I study languages and I wish to find others who speak more than one language as well.

As a part of this, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to teach a language to me or something.

I am willing to help with linguistics. I speak English, Spanish, Japanese, French, and some German.

I am more than happy to help anyone who wishes to learn a language. So, what languages do you speak?

What do you like or dislike about the language, and if you speak a language, do you think you could teach me the language?

Thank you.

I know English and Spanish but I'm not fluent in Spanish.

I would say the thing I like most about Spanish is the simplified grammar rules compared to English. I mean no contractions, only one way to pronounce things, and you also get that neat little ñ.

Well, I speak English fluently, would be rather bad to fail at my native tongue. When I was younger though, I was taught Latin and could read it well, now, not so much, not that I've tried.

I know enough Spanish to get by in my area, "no comprendo espanol".

I'm trying to learn Japanese at the moment, got some family records I'm trying to get a hold of that being able to understand would be good. Any chances I can get a tutor in Japanese?

Bueno, mi idioma natal es el Español, así que se podría decir que lo manejo al 100%.

And I've been learning English since I was 6 years old. Also, playing lots of videogames and visiting English web pages have helped me to hone my English skills quite a lot.

I also learned a little, tiny bit of French when I was 10 until I was 12, but I've forgotten most of it.

Other than English, I know, like, a sentence in German after taking it for three years.

I took a course in Russian my first semester this last year and I actually learned a good amount of the basics, but I'm not really sure how much I remember after six months without any exposure to it. I have my textbook out staring me in the face, though, and I do intend to pick it up independently if I have to. It's actually a really interesting language, but I'm a little nervous about learning to speak it because the pronunciation is a bit strict and some of the vowel sounds are awkward to make for newcomers to the language.

I fluently speak Dutch (native tongue) and English. Not so fluent, but I still speak a fair amount of French and German.

Btw, If I would win TQ, I might be in need of some Japanese assistance

Oh lovely topic. xD

I am Nesi, your future translator and diplomat. I speak English, German, French, Hungarian and I'm going to learn Swedish and/or Norwegian and Russian one day. In fact I am already teaching these second two/three to myself, but it's a bit difficult without a teacher!

My favourite part of Linguistics is without a doubt comparative linguistics. Hnnnng. As for teaching? Meh, been there done that. I was told I'm good at teaching languages - specifically English - but I don't really feel motivated to work as a teacher. :'> Still, if anyone has questions, I'm willing to help you out to my best knowledge!

Like/dislike? I love every language. Literally, can't think of one I don't. There are things I :/ about, of course: subjonctif in French (hahaha), gender confusion in German, pronunciation in English, soft sign in Russian... but I think of these as cool challenges.

To be a bit mean, the ugliest language I have ever heard is Polish, nonetheless I still want to learn it if I have enough capacity later in my life. But seriously. Too many zh's and consonants and such. x3

I speak English and only English. I am studying Italian in High School, but don't plan on speaking it fluently.

I can speak English and a little bit of Irish.

Irish is compulsory in Irish schools even though it is only spoken in small regions of Ireland by people who also understand English

I speak Norwegian (duh) and English. And know some Japanese and German words. Are trying to pick up as many words as I can from those two languages.

Ich sprechen Englisch und ein bisschen Deutsch.

I speak English and some German.

I speak gibberish, nonsense and bull♥♥♥♥.

Also English and Finnish fluently, a bunch of others not so fluently.

I can speak English fluently and French is my second language which I am rather good at since I've been learning it for the past 7 to 8 years of my life also it is compulsory in Quebec... I do understand a bit of spoken Greek too.

I dislike French... a lot. So many verbs that have so many conjugations and exceptions for each god damned verb tense... but other than that it's fine.

If anyone needs help in English or French I'm willing to help

I know English fluently.

Second is Japanese. I know enough to get around and I understand all of the basics, but I can't read complicated ♥♥♥♥.

Lastly - Spanish, Bisaya and Tagalog. I only some words and bits and pieces.

I English good. I am writer for career choice and write many good books, ya?

Some Spanish can be partially understood but no conversation. All other language are be moot to me.

I am fluent in French and English, and speak a decent amount of Japanese, though I hope to enlist in the JET program sometime after graduation to hone that and broaden my horizons eastward.

I'm fluent in English, French and Italian. English is actually my 3rd language.

Because I'm an Italian living in Quebec so yeah, all these languages are important for me.

English only here. I'd say I know a slight bit of German, but one year of it (six years ago) in high school isn't enough for me to feel comfortable talking to someone in it.

I am fluent in English and I know quite a bit of Spanish. I know enough Spanish to speak it a little and enough to write a lot. I suck at listening and comprehending it, though. Spanish speakers speak way too quickly. Oh, and I can read a lot of Spanish.

I plan on taking Mandarin Chinese next year.

I know English and a bit of French.

I don't know enough French to feel completely comfortable speaking it, but I suppose I could carry on a semi-decent conversation with someone.
