Knack for languages: do you have one? email this discussion to a friend?

The Philippines is a multi-lingual country. 87 different dialects which some are so different that can be classified as a different language. It is not uncommon to see someone can speak at least two dialects aside from English. Some people are so good in picking up a language and others are just slow and not interested at all.

Given the opportunity would you like to learn another language?

Are you good in picking up a new one?

enjoy life!

I am very interested in learning as much languages as I can. I am Filipino and, aside from English, I can also speak 3 dialects fluently -- Filipino or Tagalog, Visayan and Ilonggo. I learned the last one just by listening to my grandparents when they stayed in our house for a time. I wish I knew more and hope I will get around to learning Ilocano.

Have a nice day, manong! happy

Hi, I am always interested to learn new languages or dialects. I am cebuano speaking but I still speak the Filipino in straight sentences when I had to. I can understand Ilonggo and speak some words with the accent. Then i can understand and speak some words in Masbateño since my dad is from Masbate. Then I knew some common phrases in Bicolano and Waray because we have relatives in those areas which speak those two dialects.
Then in college we were required to take up Spanish though I forgot most of it but the common phrases and words are still not forgotten. Then I took some French lessons a few years back.
I just enjoy doing it.
