English - although not proper by far
I know how to count and say a few things in German and Spanish. And I also know some ASL (alphabet and some words).
Oh, and I can speak a language we did in high school, called Double Dutch. And another one similar to that called Cat. Don't ask. :)
English - native language and fluent
French - took 2 years in high school and only remember a smattering of words (hi, bye, yes, no, thank you, ect.) and two phrases; 'what time is it?' and 'In english, please'.
German - hosted exchange students in high school and learned some naughty words ;) :eek: and the usual 'hi, bye, yes, no, thank you'.
Spanish - generic words again. No complete sentences.
Samoan - slowly learning this. I know a few words and phrases. Picking up on some Hawaiian as well. :love:
ASL - had a deaf neighbor who would babysit us when I was 8 yrs old. She taught me some words and phrases, but I can only sign 'I love you' now.
English (American style, not the Queen's:p); I can speak basic Spanish and read it better than I speak it. I had some German in college and can count, know a few phrases (Guten Morgen, danke, bitte, etc.) Because of martial arts training I used to be able to count to 10 in Korean and Japanese, but, alas, those brain cells have gone to the Rainbow Bridge...;):D
German-native
English
French
Italian
... that's the ones I can speak...
Spanish- can read a newspaper- when I speak it comes out Italian
Latin
Greek - enough to ask for menus and busses;)
Japanese -learned it through 3 years but forgot most of it.
..and very few words in Polish ;) (like tanie meble which means cheap furniture)
and I can count in Finnish and know that a a moose is a hirvi and a Hamburger is a Hampurilainen (i.e. when you speak of a person who lives in Hamburg, Germany)
English
French
Spanish
Chinese (Mandarin)
German
Some Italian
Does Latin count...lol?
Fluent English and German
English fer sure.
French - just learned it in school ages ago, but when I was in Quebec last year for only a couple of days, the basics came back quite easily...I bet if I lived there for a year, I would pick up a LOT of the language. Totally different than the French in France.
Japanese - had a few gigs there, just know a few words and phrases; if a Japanese visitor was lost, I could likely help them find their way.
Bits of German and Italian (thanks to early voice training).
English - fluent
Finnish - basic understanding - mother's side of family is Finnish - Mitä kuuluu? Hyvä pulla! *lol* :)
French - not fluent, but can read/speak if needed
Czech - husband's family is Czech/Slovac - Dobrý den
Latin - I was tired of French, so took 3 years of Latin in school! Ubi est canis? :D
English (with a southern U.S. accent :) )
Spanish (some, but very out of practice--took it in high school)
Mandarin (few words and phrases--hello, good bye, thank you, I don't want it, I love you.)
English
Some Spanish..it comes back to me when in conversation, but it sounds babyish I'm sure. Bad at conjugation.
Started learning Polish (my mom) as a kid to speak with my nana, but can't remember much except "I love you." (Thanks Bobby Vinton-for those of you who remember..:p)
Can curse a bit in Yiddish, Russian, Chinese..(but I rarely do ;)
I'm in AWE of all of you who claim you're NOT fluent in English. You have me fooled because you're English is GREAT. You use difficult American English idioms and expressions.
English----fluent southernese
Dutch -----limited- Can communicate and read. I lived in the Netherlands for 3 years and learning the language was difficult because 70% of the Dutch speak English.
I know hand language. And I also know British English. :D They speak like wouta to water. :D
