Which languages are you fluent in?

[Brónach 1,330]

But I know how to order a beer using 29 different languages.

That's great

[BloodBoal 8,711]

Need to start learning English.

Sorry, what? I do not understand what you are trying to say.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386]

Jelp jilp dalpop, todlif....derp derp derp!

[indy4 160]

I speak a little bit of French.

[hornist 1,261]

Oh, en ik heb vergeten om te zeggen dat ik na drie of vier Heineken bijna perfect nederlands kan spreken...

[Brónach 1,330]

I'm sort of narrowing down learning options: Russian, Arab, German, Polish, Japanese.

[And also some stuff to learn on my own due to pure historical and aesthetic fetish. With those I'd be happy understanding more stuff written down or writing myself a bit: Latin, Ancient Greek, and a celtic language (I still don't know which one).]

Ok I still need to put some order on the list.

[Wojo 2,458]

I learned Spanish. That means I can say "no" in five languages other than English.

I speak English, but 'ail'n from der Pewl me uvver lingo's sea-pie.

[Brónach 1,330]

I'm going with German. Not the one I was more interested it, but the most practical in my situation. I know I'm probably going to get hooked to it anyway. We'll see how it goes (well, I presume). The grammar seems very interesting. I like sustantives with genres and it doesn't seem to want to kill you with too many cases.

I wanted to go Slavic or outside IE, but with this change of direction into the Germanic branch I might check out what Scandinavia has to offer later. Or not. Aagh, there are so many.

[King Mark 3,975]

I am fully bilingual in French and English

I may have said that on page 1 since this thread is from a few years ago

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386]

French and English

[Trent B 354]

English is really my main only language. All though I can imitate Klingon by hearing it from movies and such.

If I ever flew to a place say....London or whatever, I would try to learn their language before going over. I wouldn't want to seem rude or insulting by not trying to learn their language of said place.

Cook Island, Tierra del Fuego

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cook Island depicted as London Island. There is another London Island west of the Tierra del Fuego

Cook Island (Spanish: Isla Cook), also known as London Island (Spanish: Isla London),^[1] is an island in the Tierra del Fuego archipelago in Chile. It lies west of Gordon Islandand east of Londonderry Island at the head of Cook Bay, within the Alberto de Agostini National Park.

This is what you meant, Trent, right? Right?

Looking at the contruction of this sentence...

... I'm not so certain. His second sentence further supports this...

Please at least try to avoid misspelling words when criticizing others for poor grammar.

[Brónach 1,330]

I get wrong the English word order quite often.

Okay I guess London was a bad example..but I was being serious. Not sure why you guys are knocking me down over this.

I should've known it'd be you of all people to notice and inconspicuously absent S!

[Trent B 354]

It's apparent that you guys are going to continue to make fun / mock my posts and knock me down because of some of my typos, I'm done with this thread.

[alicebrallice 134]

I'm sorry if I posted anything that made you think that, trent.

I've got a question for all you non-native english speakers! what kind of accent do you have? british or american?

I've found that swedes are extremely good at adapting to the american accent (no shit, with all the exposure of american media), compared to let's say germans, finns and spaniards where the accent is quite heavy. all my previous english teachers had british accents though.

BUT I have been struggling with the perfect american pronunciation of literally for years now... just can't get it right

[Quintus 6,495]

Trent never has been known for his sense of humour.

[Brónach 1,330]

I want to reduce a bit my accent. So many vowels and a pair of sounds I can't get right. A British accent for me!

[hornist 1,261]

, compared to let's say germans, finns and spaniards where the accent is quite heavy.

You should hear my brilliant Oxford accent.

[BloodBoal 8,711]

I can hear it from where I am, and it is awful. Awful, I tell ya! Sounds like a Texan trying to speak Japanese!

God forbid you have a sense of humor about yourself, eh? Entire friendships of mine are built on making fun of each other for the goof-ups we say.

Anyway... English is my main language, and I know some Italian (parlo male) and French (parle très mal).

[Brónach 1,330]

This happens to me as well

[Luke Skywalker 2,383]

i think that when i speak in english, i speak with spaniard accecnt more or less depurated with american and british intonation mixxes

[Brónach 1,330]

I find it hilarious when I like a dialogue in a film, and I'm unable to pronounce it exactly the same way for no apparent reason.

[Wojo 2,458]

Trent, we wouldn't poke fun at you if we didn't like you.

[Quintus 6,495]

Pass the sick bucket

[Thor 9,362]

I speak Norwegian (duh!), English and Danish fluently. Then I'm pretty fluent in German and French.

Having a knowledge of Latin terms etc., makes it fairly possible to communicate on basic terms in Spanish and Italian too. I noticed that when I was in Rome this weekend, even though I don't speak Italian per se.

Your first Romance language is the harder. Then the others are a bit easier because you recognize many words, they use similar word orders etc, that's the thing with the "Walhaz".

On the other hand the simplification of English grammar isn't helping me with German right now.

[gkgyver 1,647]

I speak fluently English (duh) and used to speak French until my foreign exchange to France pissed me off hard enough to make a vow never to speak French again unless my well-being depended on it.

I can still translate Latin if it isn't speeches of Cicero or Julius Caesar. A former girlfriend could fluently speak Latin. My Latin teacher could doit as well. He was in a circle that only spoke Latin. They didn't sacrifice children though.
