_{I speak 2 1/2 languages. French English and some spanish}

Woahhh tiny text. You speak tiny language.

[Alexa]

Whoa! Why did it do that!

[kuwaz]

Chinese also sound really nasally

There are over 50 dialects, most of them sound
annoying and ghetto as hell even to Chinese ppl.

I bet you can name one big dialect that everyone
commonly refers to as "Chinese" and that dialect is
annoying as a bitch...

---

Imo, by the way a language sounds...

Most neutral languages: English, Chinese
Best languages spoken by men: Italian, German, Russian
Best languages spoken by women: Japanese, Spanish

Personally I just don't like the way French
sounds, just got sounds that I cannot stand listening
to. Same goes for Korean.

Je peux parler/ecrire en français, et aussi en anglais (évidemment).

J'adore le francais. C'est pourquoi je l'etudie a l'universite. J'espere que je peux aller au France quelque jour.

Mon français est terrible. Je l'etudie le français à l'école pour douze ans, mais j'ai oublié beaucoup de lui....


(I'm more comfortable writing in French than speaking it because I tend to forget a ton of vocabulary. I'm fairly comfortable with the nuances of using the right accents, gender, form of verbs, etc.. )

I love French. The writing makes sense, after I studied Spanish in high school. French is poetic, at least compared to the shit Spanish that Central Americans speak. Ugh. What an ugly tongue. And we used to give the Germans a bad name because they were always shouting. Nothing compared to Mexican Spanish.

Oh, and I have an intro to Japanese book. I don't really speak it, but I could look it up if I wanted to. The characters are what attracted me. I wanted to write in hiragana and katakana.

Also a bit of Gaeilge, or Irish. Just phrases really. Not the syntax. If there were Irish language movies or newspapers I would pick it up a lot easier.

C'est pas vrai! Il y a eu un erreur, pas mal. Je fais les erreurs beaucoup de temps. J'ai edtudie le francias pour 6 ans et 1 ans a l'universite. Donc, Je devrais le savoir que je fais mais je ne'fais pas.

I agree completely. I am interested in Japanese because my best friend is living there for a year.

Yeah, that is exactly how I feel about Spanish. I probably am a little bit biased (if thats the right word) because I had a bad experience with Spanish and a bunch of High School Spanish girls, maybe that is why I hate it... yeah, that is probably it.

[coqs]

I speak Spanish and English, and a little bit of French, which I mainly use to buy groceries and such...

[Ali]

Fully bilingual (English and Scots Gaelic) although that's hardly worth it...
Near enough fluent in French after 10 years of learning and doing a semester in Paris.
Fairly good at Spanish after 7 years learning it
Decent grasp of German, Italian and Latin, enough that I can understand most things but struggle to form it myself
Tiny bits of a few other things...Russian, Czech, Greek...I've done a lot of travelling in the past couple of years.

[Elle7]

I'm native English, but slowly getting better at Spanish. I can read and write well, but sound like a valley girl when I try to speak it. I wish I lived somewhere that had more contact with languages. ('Mmurican here.) Even the Spanish-speaking people around my town hate speaking Spanish and only talk in English to try to fit in. I just want to practice with somebody!

[Jaf]

I'm a native Norwegian so I understand Danish and Swedish because they are so closely related. I think my English is pretty decent compared to my peers and I had German for 5 years but it's sehr schlecht. I also understand some fragments of Tagalog.

[Narna]

English (I'm from Australia)
Chinese(Mandarin,ShangHainese,Cantonese) <-- that counts as 3 right? (I'm asian ^^)
Indonesian(Grandparents are from Jakata)
Japanese(Spent a year there)

That's six I think. Though my Japanese and Indonesian are slowly slipping away.

The only language I would say I speak fluently is English.
However, I'm trying to pick up/become fluent in French and Chinese.

Tu parle avec moi pour plus de practice?
(I'm pretty sure I said that wrong)

I haven't taken French for 3 years
