foreign language speakers

[Sentaifan'07 Xman]

I spoke a little bit of Spanish in High School and just recently in Sacramento City College, but I am still learning. I plan to learn how to speak Japanese, and hopefully French and German next. Oh and Italian.

Well currently I only speak English and Sarcasm, but in two days I'm starting my first Japanese class so thats pretty neat.

I could understand enough Spanish and speak a little to get by - took classes most of elementary through most of high school. But after I moved away from extended family: little exposure to Spanish + Japanese classes = losing the Spanish skills I had.

I used to think I could pick it back up easily enough, but my brain is not as awesome as it used to be. Probably couldn't handle trying to learn two languages as the same time.



:laugh: looks like a lot of us are trying to learn Japanese. Maybe we should start HJU 'learn japanese' group to practice and share study tips or something.

wow you guys are all geniuses )
apart from my mother tounge, I can only speak English and a lil bit of Korean )

I am Hmong. I don't know if many of you guys here know what that is but if you do, kudos to you! I also learned how to speak Spanish in high school but forgot most of it. Lol...But I can figure out what people are saying if I recognize some words.

I thought Hmong is a tribe that only lives in my country or China ?

Since I'm French, I speak French as my native language

 

[ParaParaJMo]

I speak, read, and write Japanese and a little bit of Mandarin.

And I speak fluent ebonics.

German, English and a little bit japanese

Only other language that I learned properly was German. But due to a lack of need for the language when I live in North Dakota, I'm slowly losing that skill set.

Swedish and Cantonese are my native tongues. English and Japanese are foreign languages that I speak relatively fluent.
I'm also studying Mandarin and Norwegian at the moment, but my Mandarin is horrible. It sounds like Cantonese more than Mandarin. :redface2:

I do understand 80-90 % of all the Norwegian and Danish that I see. This is only because it's so similar to Swedish. Although, I really have to concentrate when I'm listening to a Dane speaking. They all sound like angry drunks.

This is exactly how I feel about Danish. :laugh:

I only speak English as my second language (Being Danish). Nope, not a lot.
