Languages

Now I'm studying Japanese. I can use English. My mother languages I can. I knew a little of Laos. In general I know 4 languages now.

I'm in Northern Ireland-Have worked in Germany,and learned the language and still would consider myself fluent..I work with French trainees and can explain some stuff for them,but can't hold a conversation..and I'm working on learning Spanish..

I am Asian, from the Philippines actually. Our main language here is Filipino or Tagalog, we also have sub-languages depending on what part of the country you came from. I believe it is more than a hundred sub-languages, with some influences from the Spanish in which most of them are commonly used up until these days. We are also good in speaking the English language, as I could also speak a little of Chinese since some of them have been trading with our country for decades now and most of them have migrated here..

For me, English is my main language and that was what I learned in school. I did learn some Malay, but I am not really that good at it and can speak a little only. That's because all of my friends also speak English, and at work, that is also the working language. I've never learned other foreign languages in my life. Besides English, I also know two dialects, which I use mainly for local conversation within my family.

I only know TAGALOG (Filipino Language) and English since it is our secondary language here. I know a little dialect from our province as well.

Us English are the worst for knowledge of languages i think. Because we're an island, and because practically half the world speaks our language we are ignorant of other people's languages and in turn their cultures. In keeping with tradition then I am equally as ignorant (for now only!). I am determined to learn Spanish, and then who knows what. I am definitely not going to remain mono-lingual.

so far i know 5 languages but i'm still studying on my fifth language and that is chinese

i can speak english , hindi and a little bit of punjabi ....

Hebrew - my native language. English - learned alone with some help from school, I can speak, write and read in English pretty well. Russian - my father's and grandmother's native language(my grandmother can speak only Russian and Yiddish) I can speak pretty nicely and I can read russian. Yiddish - Very little, Oy vey, Gevald and stuff... Arabic - a language my mother knows from her father and mother, I know only a little and I can read arabic. Spanish - I like spanish and I am trying to learn in on my own.

Do you like Chinese.you should visit China some day.Chinese people will welcome you to Beijing during the time of Olyimpic game this summer. May be i have made a lot of grammar mistake,but i feel happy because I can understand what you are expressing basically,besides I can speak Chinese

I have a question about english-speaking people.Do each state in USA has it's own accent?

I think english just like the world language.It can help people from different countries communicate easily.But if you only know english,i can just say sorry to you,you are relly culture blocked. why not learn some chinese?

I am italian and I studied at school English, French and German. I went twice in French, once in Praga, in Switzerland and in an Austrian city...this summer I will go to Barcellona with my friends... travelling is the most important and usefull activity for our life, it makes us open minded citizens. I don't know English so good but now I effort to write in English... Count on this: if you travel and visit carefully other culture, you grow up, you comparate, you learn and you may enrich your life with solutions, answers that other people, other cultures, have discoverd yet. And the only way to learn the exact pronunciation of any lenguage is studyind in its country. Well...when I went in Austria I have not eaten till I learned to order at the fast food! I LEARNED SPOKEN GERMAN IN FEW MINUTES!!!

i know chinese,english.those two languages

I know how to speak and write fluently in English and Chinese.

Hi Giftedplayer, Since I grew up in the province of Québec,( Montreal) Canada, we spoke English at home and my parents sent me to French grade school and high school, so I became fluent in both languages. At University , At University i majored in languages, Spanish major and German minor and when I graduated I spent one year in Spain ( it was very inexpensive then) and I had no choice but to speak Spanish. Pehaps ther are other people like you in your area who woud like to learn another language and you can find a teacher for the group and you can meet at a restaurant or someones house and practice.

I know a smattering of French and can speak Spanish very well. But like everything else one does not use, one soon loses it, and sometimes i struggle to recognise some words. I am studying Italian now as well as I would like to be able to speak some of it when I visit Venice or Rome. So I know how you feel!

I only knows English. I concentrate on reading rather than learning a language. I feel it is a better way to expand my knowledge.

I know how to talk a little spanish but I understand norweigian and danish. And of course english and swedish couse I live in Sweden..
