What languages do you know?

[Woosta]

No no, not Haskell/C++/C/Fortran/PHP/Perl/Python ( computer languages ) but actual spoken languages? And are you learning any, or plan to?

Mine:

English - strongest and most used
Japanese - weak but learning ( anime/manga )
Russian - medium
French - weak ( took classes but just remember the basics )

 

[Farang]

English - native
Thai - weak
French - not as weak but weak

 

[effowe]

English

 

[zerocool1]

German
English
Marathi

 

[imported_Imp]

English - native
French - very weak. Ok reader, piss poor speaker. I can write, just takes too long to fix the grammar.

french is bad
german is OK

 

[Vehemence]

No shame if you do. Some people in highschool knew whatever the hell secret language some Playstation 2 RPG used (pretty sure it wasn't Japanese).

 

[Electric Amish]

English...yeah, that's about it.

Questions is: Does 1337 speak count as a language? If so you can add that to my repertoire.

 

[Dumac]

Okay, are you really learning from anime? I have heard this claim hundreds of times but everytime the person doesn't know squat past kawaii or bishounen, which they usually mutate into KAWAIIIIIII~~I~I~ and BISHI ><;;!!

Or you have the other side where all they really know is kimochi~ and onii-sama~ and futanari

Ugh..

Also, knowing a couple sentences of Spanish doesn't make you a Spanish master. I don't count myself as knowing a language until I am positive that I could go to that country and function without a hitch. Only languages you are fluent at count in my opinion..

EDIT: (For the poll, I mean)

 

[acheron]

English.

Bit of German, but I'm out of practice. Could probably spin up again fairly quickly if I really tried -- took a good class, or moved to Germany or Austria, whatever.

A very little Italian.

wouldn't be surprised.

English - strongest

Tagalog - good understanding can speak some

French - almost good (was converstaional when i went to France with my wife for our honeymoon, I could probably pick it up again)

Spanish - I can speak simple sentences and know most of the slang (this is kind of expected growing up in the South Bay (San Diego).

 

[Nitemare]

English - very well
Spanish - intermediate
Mandarin - Piss poor

 

[AstroManLuca]

Depends on how well you have to know a language to qualify for the purposes of this poll. My native language is English, but I know a little Spanish (four years in high school, haven't practiced since then but I still remember a lot of the grammar and some vocabulary) and a very little bit of Chinese (more than most people but hardly enough to do anything but order a few different things in a typical restaurant, very dependent on pointing).

 

[ElFenix]

english - barely literate
spanish - out of practice (though getting into it would be easy here in houston)
cantonese - cream of sum yung gai

 

[PepePeru]

English - Native
Portuguese - Weak
Spanish - Very weak

I'm dating a woman from Brazil, so she's teaching me.
