What languages do you speak?

**darkshark** · 09-2-2011, 04:45 AM

And how fluent are you in each one?

English is obvious.
Sign Language - Fluent, I can carry on a complete conversation with a deaf person.
Spanish - Poor, I can understand a majority of what is spoken, but have a hard time speaking it, can't carry on a conversation most of the time.
French - Poor, I pretty much just know a bunch of phrases and words, can't carry on any sort of conversation at all.

LJRoX · 09-2-2011, 04:46 AM

English - fluent
French - fluent
Japanese - poor, some basics
Tagalog - poor, but I can understand
1337speak - used to be amazing at it

**DarknessXoXLight** · 09-2-2011, 05:07 AM

English - hehu~
Polish - Fluent. Chicka chicka yeah.
French - Somewhat. I haven't taken classes in over a year so I forgot a lot. :/
Russian - Somewhat. My mom and gma both spoke it and they taught me a bit growing up. I retained that but I haven't really learned more.
Spanish - The basics.

1337 - we're counting this? alrighty then!

supermousie · 09-2-2011, 05:09 AM

English- that's a given
Indonesian- not bad, definitely could survive in Indonesia
Mandarin Chinese- ok. Not bad, but not good either.

**samurai7694** · 09-2-2011, 05:34 AM

English - lol
Spanish - decent, but I can keep up with a conversation using basic words and phrases
Mandarin Chinese - poor, but I'm still learning the basics hehe

**Im Vince** · 09-2-2011, 05:53 AM

French - lmao
English - Fluent, might have trouble finding the right words.

**MaxGhost** · 09-2-2011, 07:30 AM

French and English, fluent.

I know words/phrases in many random languages, but not that much.
If I listen to a VERY slow conversation in Spanish, I can understand it, cause a lot of the words are very similar to french (latin connection) but I have to process each word in my head to know wtf is going on.

Also, programming languages (rofl)
PHP, Java, Actionscript (I'm getting rusty though), VB6, Javascript, HTML/CSS, a couple other ones I forget about.
I can read code from any of the major languages, but I never worked with the majority of them.

**rockdis12inch** · 09-2-2011, 07:32 AM

English-Always and forever
French-Basics
Spanish-I only understand it fluently, but I can't speak a lick of it.
ASL-American Sign Language, basic stuff.

**Brycexx** · 09-2-2011, 07:35 AM

English - fluent
Spanish - not fluent but after 5 years of classes I would have no trouble understanding and using words and small phrases to get around in a Spanish speaking country
Korean - started learning towards the end of last month so very basics is about all i know

Shikari · 09-2-2011, 07:38 AM

Portuguese, my mother language.
English, can't speak that well, but can write/read/type easily.
I want to learn French and German someday.

**Reincarnate** · 09-2-2011, 07:49 AM

English, Japanese, Mandarin, ASL. Only fluent in English, but semi-fluent in the others (could hold conversations -- but people would have to speak a little slowly because otherwise I can't parse what they're saying)

**Bluearrowll** · 09-2-2011, 08:09 AM

English - Fluent. Native tongue.
French - Poor. I mostly know phrases from beginner french classes.
Dutch - Poor. While I understand some of the grammar and spelling, and can carry on SOME conversation, the spoken words escape me.
German - Very poor, what I know is a derivative from dutch and Rammstein songs.
Frissian - Very poor, what I know is a derivative from dutch.
1337 - I guess lol.

**BethanyBangs** · 09-2-2011, 08:23 AM

English is my main thang. I can fully understand Mien, but I respond in English to my family LOL I took two years of Spanish, and back when anime was all amazing I learned a ton of Japanese and watched it raw.

**Cold Kitten** · 09-2-2011, 09:03 AM

English, duh.
German - Semi-decent. I could hold a simple conversation, and understand/read almost anything and know what was going on.
1337 - lolwat. Really?

**yo man im awesome** · 09-2-2011, 09:20 AM

English - rofl
Spanish - I can read it/ hear it just fine, but writing/speaking it just doesn't work.
German - Extremely poor - Just like Bluearrow lmfao, I only know bits and pieces through Rammstein. :/

Secks69 · 09-2-2011, 09:39 AM

English: fluent
Spanish: fluent (only language spoken in my house lol)
1337 speak: somewhat fluent lol

**kjwkjw** · 09-2-2011, 10:13 AM

Hm... I know I've seen a thread like this before...

Korean - fluent, native
English - fluent, although I'm probably forgetting a word a day or something
Japanese - relatively good; been studying it for almost 3 years.
Spanish - very little; can make some simple sentences

Do want to learn German and Russian in the future, if I have time.
