  • Just curious

    For me:

    English: Native
    Latin: Written fluency
    Spanish: Conversational... pero ahora estoy estudiando mucho para mejorar mi habla! (żes correcto?)
    Khmer (Cambodian): A few words to get around
  • English: Native.
    French: Used to be ok in school, could brush up and be ok.
    Japanese: Used to be ok in school, would need to re-learn a lot of it.
  • English : native
    Spanish : fluent

    What I would like to learn however:
    German
    French
    Italian
  • English is my mother tongue.

    I have spoken Italian and Deutche while living abroad although the skills are quickly escaping me. I know lots of broken Spanish now.
  • French : native
    English : learned it in school, travelling and speaking a bit of it at work
    Spanish : learned a bit in school but forgot a lot

    I'd really like to learn German, as I'm planning to travel over there by 2013.
  • Greek : Native
    English : Fluent
    Italian : Intermediate
    French : Some just for fun, will take it more serious after my degree in Italian
    Spanish : Oh how i wish!
  • English: native
    French: learned in school,but forgot most
    Sign language: learned from some deaf friends,then took a class in college,but forgot quite a bit and some signs have changed over the years.
  • I'm fluent in ASL - teach classes, interpret, it was my first language.
    English
    Spanish - I studied for 7 years, so I can communicate, but I'm getting rusty! I prefer to write/read than speak.
  • My first language is English and my second language is French. French/English bilingualism is pretty standard where I live, I've only met 3 people so far who only knew one language here (with the exception of children).
  • My answer is "not enough".

    English: Native
    Spanish: High School Level, if that. Took for it for years, can still only ask "Where is the tobacco store?" and I don't even smoke, so fat lotta good that'll do me.

    I always wanted to learn French, German, and Japanese, though. Maybe not all at once, but still fun to pick up certain words and phrases.

    Hehe well all I remember from my Khmer (Cambodian), besides general direction and polite conversation, is "More rice, please."

    And equally important for all Asian cultures: "Please, no, I'm full."
  • Slovenian and Serbo-Croatian are both my mother/native languages, I also speak fluent English, German and Italian.. I would love to know Spanish or Portuguese. Or maybe Dutch, Swedish.. I like languages, I'm a quick learner but I'm lazy. If I am forced to use the language I get the hang of it pretty fast. Studying from books.. Not so much

    I took one year of Mandarin in middle school and my four year old daughter has already learned as much as I did by watching Ni-Hao, Kai-Lan

  • English

    Though I purchased Fluenz Italian and need to get started. Maybe we need little study groups

    That's why I took it in college.I thought if I liked enough and did well,I wanted to be an interpreter.It wasn't easy,and rather then continue on,I gave up.I really wish I hadn't given up.
