^{What languages do you know or learn except English and why are you learning them?}

 

^{I know French and I'm learning Russian and German. I'm learning Russian because a lot of people speak it and I also like the culture, food, language, music, etc. of Russia. As for German I just like the language and it's also a popular language. I also like learning new languages it's very interesting and fun to me.}

[Sporemane 546]

I know a little German my Dad told me a few phrases. He was stationed in Germany with the US Army in the 80's

[Pinkiebow 48]

Portuguese, because i'm brazilian 

[shy0wl 484]

I took classes for French for 4 years but I never used it since I've stopped taking the class 2 years ago so I'm not sure if I know how to speak it well anymore  

[backpon 320]

I'm learning spanish. its a shame really because my school requires "foreign language" credits while offering nothing other than spanish :okiedokielokie:  we used to have french and german

[Humphrey 49]

I am not even a native English speaker. I was born in China, naturally I know Chinese. I also learnt German, but I can only read or write a few sentences. 

[Kiri 7,288]

I studied Spanish in high school, though I forgot most of it. I also studied Latin in college.

[Hammy21 9]

Uhm, I know a little Deutsche (German) due to doing a little independent studying one summer because it's a cool language. And I have nearly 2 years of ASL (American Sign Language) experience under my belt, because of a language course in my school!

 

...also, does knowing some latin words via the harry potter books count?

[Lunar Echo 10,335]

I know little to no words other than in UK English.

[Foxy Socks 2,599]

I was learning Japanese in school, but unfortunately I had to move away. I've been continuing to study by myself, although I haven't been studying as much recently.

[Kenshiro 13,493]

Hello Konakona. English is my second language. My first language is Türkçe and i want to learn Japanese too =)) '''

[Shadow Wind 56]

I really want to learn how to speak Latin.

[Guest]

French, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Latin.

[Kagami-sama 320]

I'm American so naturally I know English.

 

But besides my native language, I know Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and a tad of German.

 

I know Swedish and Danish because I used to live there.

And Norwegian wasn't too hard to pick up on as it's more or less just a mixture of the two.

As for German, I took some German classes.

 

I'm currently learning Japanese. Why? Because I'm a weeaboo... Don't judge me.

I was brought up on English (my most fluent language), Esperanto and Czech. In Esperanto, I can carry a decently comlex coversation, although with a bit of a struggle, and can translate most text accuratly (though my knowledge of the written language is rather spotted). I can understand simple conversation in Bohemian Czech, but my ability to actually use it myself is stunted.

 

I am Canadian, so French is taught from grade 5 to 9, with the option to take it further. I like it, so I study it on my own, as well. I'm also currently taking a crack at German, and have a DVD latin course that I'm waiting to have time to do.

[Akari of Duskshire 581]

My native tongue is English.  I study German in school and I take Japanese lessons outside of school.  I can't be considered fluent in either language, but my Japanese is better than my German.

[Stardust* 3,302]

I know a bit of French, took it in high school but I still want to learn more. I know a smidgen of Spanish my mother in law refuses to speak English. Bleh.

 

I am learning more French and I am learning American Sign Language.

[Art Thief 215]

I am fluent in English, and Gibberish. 

[Odyssey 5,716]

I am fluent in English and I know a bit of Spanish. I am keen to learn new languages however, namely German and French.

[Stardust* 3,302]

I am fluent in English, and Gibberish. 

Brilliant! Simply brilliant! 

[Grepper 3,192]

English is my native language, and I started learning Spanish recently.

[MontagnaMagica 307]

Native English speaker. I learned Italian in school, but I honestly know more Spanish than Italian, due to living in Arizona. I would love to become fluent in Spanish, but I'm too busy to start practicing as of today. "Mañana..." ¡Jajajaja!

Well, English is my first language, but I took Spanish and Mandarin Chinese throughout high school, and continued with Spanish in college. I'm decent at Spanish, but unfortunately lost pretty much everything I knew in Chinese. I also taught myself Irish Gaelic in high school, but didn't continue with it until recently. So I'm currently reteaching Irish Gaelic to myself. I love languages and have always been really interested in them. In middle school, I also took Italian and French, but I don't remember much from them other than the alphabet lol
