Languages; What Are Yours?

Devantè · 2006-10-09 22:21:01

What languages do you speak - or are learning to speak - just out of interest and curiosity?

Still learning, but can speak pretty well: Español and Français

Obviously my first language is English, though.

justlookingforthemoment · 2006-10-09 22:27:49

English
Chinese
Japanese
German

The third thread in the style of [topic][semicolon][what's][your][insert noun][question mark].

Devantè · 2006-10-09 22:30:10

Really? I didn't notice.

I've never had the opportunity to study Japanese and Chinese MFL studies, only Japanese Lay Culture class, or (JLC).

MathsIsFun · 2006-10-09 23:12:25

English 4/5
Danish, German, Spanish, French 1/5

Devantè · 2006-10-09 23:56:30

So far, from conducting survey results from a growing small sample size, MathsIsFun (the forum) speaks at least, or is learning to speak:

English
German
French
Spanish
Danish
Chinese
Japanese

Cool.

English (obviously), a fairly good amount of Spanish and a tiny bit of French and German but don't count them because it's really only counting to 10 and useless stuff like that.

And I know how to say yes in Russian as well.

Devantè · 2006-10-10 00:11:18

Once you can count to 100, it gets quite easy to go further - Like 1000. Quite easy in Spanish to do that, IMO.

I can say the alphabet in Hebrew, but it doesn't help anywhere.

Who speaks latin? Just because someone can speak English doesn't mean they can speak Latin. They're two different things.

Dear Latin Speakers,

If you can read that, you get a cookie.

espeon · 2006-10-10 03:36:24

latin isnt nessesarily english. its the older version i mean the romans spoke it. i do wish that people wouldnt take notice as it as the 'dead language'

Devantè · 2006-10-10 03:39:55

In all my life, this is the first time I've ever read or seen that phrase in front of me. And that time is now.

espeon · 2006-10-10 03:41:54

hmmm? what phrase are you talking about?

rida · 2006-10-10 03:43:27

Sorry I'm a bit rusty in latin but I can understand most of it plus you made some words up.;)

That phrase. I may have heard it once, but I always forget latin sentences and phrase whenever speaks some to me, unless I like the sound of the words, or they are fun to say.

WiZaRd · 2006-10-10 04:29:07

Urdu
Pushto
Punjabi
Hindko
A Bit of Chitrali

WiZaRd · 2006-10-10 17:05:36

Look Unique I am From Peshawar and in Peshawar Thier are all kind of Peoples For example In Peshawar thier are People From Afghanistan, Chitral, Abottabad, and from Punjab too thats why i know all languages of them

MathsIsFun · 2006-10-10 19:01:19

I went shopping in Peshawar once! I have also been to Rawalpindi and Lahore.

I recall going to a town near the Khyber pass called Landikotal. We travelled to the Afghan Border and I stepped over the border for a few seconds

All I remember of Urdu is things like pani (water), acha (ok), jeldi (quickly), and a few others.

justlookingforthemoment · 2006-10-10 20:50:57

The only Latin I know is Carpe Diem.

But that doesn't count because it's from Dead Poets Society. Has anyone seen it?
