I know a good bit of Spanish, due to the 2 years they force us to go through in school. Exactly why do we need it to graduate?

I speak English fluently, Cantonese sufficiently (meaning not as well as English), French only partially (three years in elementary, two in high school so far), and Mandarin...barely.

I can speak a little Japanese. Eeeeeeei,kawaii baka!

I am going to take German next year,as I am part German. If I do well in that,I will go to Spanish. Very useful in the US.

Both Mandrin and Japanese. But my english is still the best among the three.

I can speak some Spanish, but not much. I do know enough that if I read something (in Spanish) I'll be able to understand the point of it.

I'm taking GCSE French, and am currently in my 4th year of French, first year of the GCSE course.
I took German for 2 years, and learned extremely little.
I know even less Hungarian, despite that being my mother's native language, so i do want to learn (I have no English relatives, and i'd like to speak to my Hungarian ones)

I'm pretty sure Mexican isn't a language. ;)

Er. And I know Pig Latin, American English, English, and, um. Let me think... 1337 and chatspeak, unfortunately.

Though English/American English is the only actual language, I suppose.

you can't count American English and English as 2 separate languages, curse yee :P

I also know some latin.

English is my second languauge. I learned it when I was 5 or 6.

English, some Spanish, and I can read Hebrew (but not tell you what it means).

I am Canadian.
I do not speak french.

Though I do know a bit of ASL (american Sign language). And hopefully, when I transfer from college to University, i'll take a ASL course. I can't speak other languages, never could, but using my hands to do ASL, i'm not so bad... at that.


ooo, I know BSL (British Sign Language).
I hope to do a proper course in September possibly. My friend is going to start then, but if I can't get in, she will teach me what I don't know yet. woo!!

*goes off doing the BSL turtle*

I also have done German for 5 years, and French for 2. Although I'm very bad at them!

I learnt a little Russian in uni. I dont know why i picked Russian, cant remember much of it now.

Sun Jul 04, 2004 5:22 pm

Ich sprechen einen bisschen Deutsch...but I'm absolutely terrible! In five years of German lessons, I've learnt basically nothing.

*Useless fact* Doodlesac in German means Bagpipes in English *Useless fact*

I've been taking French for 5 long years. J'ai something something frances something cinq something something. (Shows how much I payed attion in class. And I always get 100% on my tests with out cheating.)

I'm pretty close to Fluent in Mandarin Chinese... but I'm not that good at it, yet. Sometimes I struggle a bit to finish a phrase or sentence. And it's not an over/understatement.
