Question What languages do you know, eh?

Title says it, I wanna know what language ZU peoplez speak!

Write me a sentence if you can!


(As for me, I speak fluent Norwegian and English, I speak some pretty decent Swedish and Danish, I know I tiny bit of Italian and French, and I used to try to learn Katakana, Japanese. Oh, and I'm pretty good with German, but that grammar is my arch-nemesis)

Re: What languages do you know, eh?

INGRISH

i speek gud ingrish

GERMAN

Das ist ja wirklich toll.

FRENCH

... Je suppose.


These are what I'm taught. In addition, I completely understand written Dutch which is the lovechild of German and English; written Swedish and Norwegian to a certain extent, I have a basic Russian, Croatian and Polish knowledge, and I can make cool sentences in Latin.

Oh and I'm native Hungarian. 8D

Re: What languages do you know, eh?

English is literally the only language I know.

I took two years of Spanish in High School, so like... I could kind of get the gist of what someone may be writing (not so much speaking). That's about as far as my expertise goes.

Re: What languages do you know, eh?

I was born in Quebec, and grew up speaking English and French, but after living in the States for so long I've lost most of my knowledge of the latter. Now I only ever speak French if I'm drunk.

Re: What languages do you know, eh?

English is my first language, but I do know some French and I can speak reasonable German. Although I can only speak one wod in proper accent: Hahnhchen. If that's even the right spelling

Re: What languages do you know, eh?

English is my native language..other than that, I'm not fluent in anything else. XD

I took Italian for 6 years, but I barely learned anything. I can still recognize Italian when I hear it and sort of get the gist of what people are saying, but not that great. I had pretty bad Italian teachers, especially in high school. We literally learned the same material over and over each year and would end at the same point at the close of each school year. Went something like this: "-are" verbs, "-ere" verbs, and a bit of "-ire" verbs then.. SUMMER VACATION. And the cycle repeats itself 6 times over, lol.

I think a major problem was my Italian teacher had no control over the class and seemed more interested in showing us Italian films with blatant nudity (which was incredibly awkward) and telling us about the horridly unpleasant high she experienced the one time she tried pot.

It was a very odd class.

Re: What languages do you know, eh?

It's probably obvious that I've always spoke English and it's my native language. Sadly, the rural high school I attended gave only three years of Spanish. But I learned two years of French through BYU online classes. I wish I could remember more of my French. However, I plan to learn Spanish at uni.

Re: What languages do you know, eh?

I'm not fluent, but I do speak and read some Mandarin Chinese. I took two years of it in high school, and next semester I plan on taking it at my University.

Re: What languages do you know, eh?

I'm currently learning French. My French teacher is the absolute best, she has TONS of stuffed animal frogs because the French were sometimes called frogs but she doesn't mean it in a derogatory sense. Anyway, she lets us students borrow her frogs and we keep them at our desks during class. Oh and my Mandarin and Cantonese are really limited. My siblings and I have these mini-competitions to see who can speak the most Chinese and I always fail miserably. At least my pronunciation isn't as bad as my brother's. Heh.

Re: What languages do you know, eh?

Native Spanish speaker here.

I can also congratulate people on the results of something in Esperanto.

And I can also tell people that my car is broken in German.

I swear those are going to be useful some day.

Re: What languages do you know, eh?

I'm a first-level French speaker (my first class was last year, 7th grade.), so I'm not too fluent, but I seem to be learning it really well. It helps to know the English language better than others, I suppose. My French teacher spent half of the class time teaching the other students what prepositions and things were, some kid didn't even know the definition of a noun.

But anyways...

La francaise langue est la langue parler! (Too lazy to add in the accent circumflex. )
