How many languages do you know? And how did you learn them? / myLot

August 13, 2018 5:03pm CST

I know Romanian (my native ) Hungarian and English I understand Spanish 80% but I don't know why I can't speak it well. I understand Italian 60% and French 50% I learn english from watching movies and cartoons and a little bit from school. Then slowly I started to read books in english . I learned spanish from telenovelas. We had just one tv back when i was a child and my mom always watched telenovelas so if we wanted to watch tv we would watch what she was watching Plus my native language is similar to spanish italian french

I know how to speak English, Tagalog, Fookien and a little bit of Mandarin. =) I never got around to learning how to speak and understand Cantonese. I could have tried to learn it, since my father speaks it so well, but he never taught us. I want to learn how to speak Japanese and Korean, and improve my Mandarin, but I think I just might not be able to given the circumstances hehe :D
