What languages do you speak?

Herr Heinrich · Jan 29, 2011

I am just curious about the linguistic variety of RF goers. Post what languages you speak in order of fluency. Feel free to discuss them if you wish. A sample sentence or paragraph of your language would be cool too.

English of the American variety obviously.
I also speak German..kind of. Deutsch ist meine Hauptfach an der Uni.

I know six languages: English, Spanish, Arabic, French, Japanese and Italian.

Also know some Esperanto, but not as much as I'd like. I'm trying to find time to pick it up again.

English of English variety. Spanish of Spanish variety and a little bit of German.. you guessed it of German variety.

Wow. Are you fluent in all of them? Also where did you learn them?

LuisDantas · Jan 29, 2011

I live in America so I know English.

Learned Spanish for 4 years in high School.

I have Arab Parents, so I speak Arabic.

My mom's side is from Lebanon where French is a second language.

I learned Japanese from a Japanese girlfriend I had.

And lastly I learned some Italian on my own, and can understand a lot of Italian because it's close to Spanish.

As for Esperanto I took a semester of it in college, but they phased it out after only one semester so I never got that far.

I speak English and some French. Someday I'll make it a project to be fluent in French and German.

Caladan · Jan 29, 2011

Hebrew and English fluently. refreshing my Arabic right now. and the French consulate here demands that I speak French in 5 years.
I've also been taking Egyptian hieroglyphs and Attic Greek back in archaeology studies. if only enough to get some valuable information in the field, and not to read whole enigmatic texts.

Hahah Heinrich, bringing FB to RF.

Well you already know what I speak.

I speak American English, I'm learning German and French, and sort of trying to learn Old English... Of the Anglo-Saxon Variety

Do you find that once you master another language or two, it becomes easier to learn more? Do you kind of develop a method of learning new ones, or become kind of ... I can't think how to phrase it, but like your brain is more receptive to learning language?

I speak English, enough French to get by on a holiday, but not enough to hold a conversation and a tiny bit of Latin. I can usually roughly decipher a Latin phrase by recognising the odd noun or verb, but couldn't construct a sentence of my own.

Gaura Priya · Jan 29, 2011

I speak English mainly (of the Canadian variety), I can understand Tagalog, speak basic French, and Spanish.

And Esperanto. But I would hardly put that on my resume... it screams geek along with Klingon.
