Do you speak another language?

[nightglow]

I don't sadly. I only speak American English and that isn't always that good lol. It would be cool to learn another language. I guess if I had motivation I could probably learn another one at home. I do have a Japanese to English and English to Japanese small dictionary. At the beginning it explains the pronunciation rules which I think I have down decently.

I wanted to learn Japanese in high school when I was asked. I was in a private homeschooling program after I was pulled out of public school. There was only one other person in my grade. Of course I was told no when I was asked. It's like, well if you aren't going to let me choose, why bother to ask?? lol
So, we were made to learn Spanish on the computer because the teacher wanted this boy who wasn't in my grade to be a missionary in South America (he didn't become that though). It didn't really stick for me. I think I need an actual person who speaks to learn to speak a language.
I think it would be pretty cool to learn how to read Greek.

I can only fluently speak in English.

I was raised speaking Spanish, then I immigrated to the U.S. when I was 8 where I learned English in school and on the interwebs
Because I mostly assimilated, my Spanish ended up decaying as I tried working on my English, and now I'm trying to improve both of them now, though my school doesn't call me an English-learner anymore (I wouldn't call myself fluent in either of them)
Anyways I've been teaching myself Japanese for 2-ish years and can hold text convos with my friends in Japan, I'm taking the AP exam in a year
I can't speak Portuguese but I can read it because it's related to Spanish
And I've been learning Esperanto, a constructed language, for a few months, mostly to communicate with some users on another forum

my main language is english since i was born here in canada, but since my background is iraqi i can speak assyrian fluently. ive also learned french, back in elementary, and i took it all of high school so far. though not sure if i’ll be able to take it this following year as it’ll be my last year and they don’t offer french online classes over here so there goes my streak..
i know some dutch, but only because A LOT of my family/relatives live in belgium, and whenever i go and visit them they help me practice speaking it lmao. they mostly know assyrian and a little bit of english as well, but it’s rather helpful whenever we go out as i just remember one time a guard started saying something to me and i was like huh?? he was probably so done with me lmfao.

i plan on learning japanese and korean in the future, they’re both such beautiful languages and ive always wanted to learn how to speak and understand them fluently! i also want to learn sign language as it’s important if i ever come across anyone with hearing problems, i feel like it’s an extremely useful language to know because you never know when you’ll need it, and it’ll be very helpful.

My school offers ASL and I have a couple friends that are taking it, I always wondered what it'd be like to know it

my school unfortunately doesn’t offer that program, i wish it did! i too have always wondered what it’ll be like, it’s intriguing and it interests me so hopefully sometime in the future ill be able learn it!

 

[dragonpisces69]

I'm Dutch, but ironically, it's not my best language anymore nowadays
Furthermore, I speak fluent English, moderate German, and slight French, Spanish and Japanese, even if I'm better at singing in Japanese (all glory to songs like Ai No Uta and Stealth Turtles!) than speaking for some reason lol.

 

[Princess Mipha]

My native language is german. I can also speak fluent english and I'm somewhat good in french. My french definitely needs a lot of work still, but it's a very hard language to learn

 

[Foreverfox]

I speak English, but I took Spanish in high-school, and I'm self-teaching French, Russian, and Swedish. I'm 25% Swedish,
so it's really important to me to learn it. I'm much further along in French, as I've been working on that for over 3 years now, but its hard to speak it when I don't have anyone that speaks it to practice with. I can read it fairly well though. With Russian, I can read it enough to pronounce the words, but I won't always know what the word means after I pronounce it. If someone wants to work on any of these with me, I'm open for it!

 

[BlueOceana]

No, I can't but I always wished that I could. My great grandma could speak nothing but Croatian and my grandma could speak that and English, but they both passed away before I was born, and my mom never learned to speak Croatian.

 

[Romaki]

English isn't my first language, so yah. I'm german, but I also learned french in school, but forgot most of it.

 

[KrazyKarp]

I don't, the "use it or lose it" principle is very real. If I learned another language I can't see how it would fit into my life, keeping up with it and all. I'd love to know Italian though, if I could fit it into my life someday.

 

[Moonlight.]

nope, fluent in english only sadly. there's so many nice sounding languages i would love to learn (especially japanese, german, french, italian, and korean) but i don't have the patience nor do i have a real life use for it.

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

No but I wish I did! Languages are awesome and if you know more than one language you should be proud

 

[X10Rinne]

Been working as a translator for a few years now, but only fluent in Eng and Jp.

I've tried studying languages besides those (Chinese and German) but they were really really hard. Chinese wasn't too bad aside from the pronunciation, but German grammar was super complex idk how anyone remembers it all

Dream language to study is JSL since I learned a tiny bit for work, but only enough to say things like "please wait" or "would you mind writing it down?"

 

[lazyislander]

I was born in Puerto Rico, but raised in New York, so while I can speak Spanish, it isn't perfect!

 

[Mimi Cheems]

I only speak English. I'm trying to learn other languages, like Russian, but it's super difficult for me to retain the information... ;w;

 

[Torts McGorts]

Just some very, very basic Spanish. I just started using Duo Lingo to learn French. I’m in the US but would love to move to Canada some day. I figured learning French could be helpful for job opps.

 

[duckykate]

white AF and only speak english but i've been trying to learn spanish and maybe japanese later on

 

[uwuzumakii]

I took French throughout highschool, so I think I have a basic, conversational level of it down, and I'm currently taking Mandarin classes through community college. I'd like to learn Japanese as well, but learning both Mandarin and Japanese at the same time would be pretty difficult.
