Genau!

Edit: PASCAL, C++, Visual BASIC, HTML

 

Well, if programming languages also count: I write C++, FORTRAN, and Prolog (pogramming logic).

Additionally, I can read Japanese when written with the English alphabets; and I can write it accordingly!

<< [Vadatajs:] "Aren't Slovenian and Croatian the same language with different alphabets?" Actually, I believe the Slovenians and Croatians use the same alphabets. The Serbs, however, use the Cyrillic alphabet, whereas the Slovenians and Croats use the Roman alphabet. Please correct me if I'm mistaken. >>

Actually Serbia uses the Roman letters much more than the cyrillic... Bulgaria (Where i am from) uses only Cyryllic letters... the Cyrillic Aplhabet was invented by BULGARIANS... not RUSSIANS... Macedonians and Serbs are have close languages but they do not use ONLY Cyrillic... >>



huh? Cyrillic alphabet is based on Greek with some letters borrowed from others (like the 'sh' from hebrew).
and i think Kiril and Mephody (the guys who invented the alphabet) were russian. i might be mistaken though...

English is my native language. I can speak and write French OK and understand it pretty well (I took 7 years of classes but I never use it, so I am very rusty). I took 1 year of Spanish so I only have the very basics there.

My mom is Thai, so I have a VERY limited vocabulary of Thai words and phrases.

Computer: C++, HTML.

i've been trying to teach myself spanish for the last 2 years.

the hard thing about teaching yourself is you don't have anyone to converse with. you don't know if what you are saying is correct, etc.

it will take me 10 years to get fluent at this thing. i have noticed that if you don't practice it a lot and stay with it you start to forget. how many words do we normally use in our everyday lives? thousands. it takes a long time to learn and remember those words. if you don't use those words regularly you forget. then there is the grammar. spanish grammar is totally different from english grammar. these people that say they are fluent in 3 or more languages are full of it. there's just no way.

That's not true.. I speak English and Chinese everyday.. and Swedish often with my siblings and some friends. But I gotta say though, it's hard to not mix them all up. When I speak with my brother or sister, I would throw all 3 languages at them. So imagine, you start your sentence in English, somewhere along the line you got some Chinese, and then end the sentence with Swedish.

 

[Asha'man]

Swedish, English, some French, some Danish and Norwegian, Java and some Haskell.

English, some French and a very small amount of Spanish
I did 5 years of French at school and I can probably understand a fair amount of whatever a Frenchperson says to me.
3 years of Spanish and I can just about tell you my name.
