I speak
Portuguese and English,
Current learning Japanese

Some trivia for you who are proud of knowing "many" languages:

Far-off places with sweet sounding names.

Well, I can speak/write fluently PR Spanish and English. Spanish is my native language, but since we are a commonwealth to the US, we are thought english more throughly than Spanish. But, if you may say, we actually speak Spanglish ( ), is that even a language? Anyway, trying to learn japanese (not going well). Would love to learn to, at least, understand portuguese, italian, french and the like since they are similar to Spanish (compared to japanese) .

Just English.

But my universities language program is awesome, never thought Japanese could be so easy (albeit occasionally tongue-tying)

Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.

As a tragically typical American, I know only one language, but I'm learning Spanish and Japanese (I know hiragana, katakana, and about 600+ kanji). I intend to spend a few years in Japan teaching English in their schools as soon as I graduate college. I also want to speak Spanish fluently. I'll decide where to go from there when I'm done with those. I'm determined to break the prideful American habit of only knowing my native tongue.

Kinda interesting topic...

Fluent in: Swedish, Danish, Finnish, English (danish mom, finnish father, born in Sweden, lived in England for 10 years)
Pretty good at: German (studied it for 8 years, so I'm kinda fluent), Spanish (6 years)
Understands: Norwegian (since I'm Swedish!), French
Kinda understands: Hindi (avid fan of Bollywood since maaany years back), Japanese (clear TV-Japanese, wouldn't understand accents or teenagers even if I were held at gunpoint)

Currently NOT learning any new ones.

First language is Vietnamese. Then I went to school and forgot how to say it... now I only understand it.

So the only language I'm fluent in is English. >_>

I know English and I've been studying Mandarin Chinese for almost a year and a half now. I can hold a decent conversation in Chinese, and I can also read a lot of the basic characters. I wish I knew French though. I think it's so pretty...

German(can't speak it as well as reading it..)
English
korean
and Latin/Chinese(maybe Japanese) is next on my list.

I hear you say "Why?" Always "Why?" You see things; and you say "Why?" But I dream things that never were; and I say "Why not?"

Why are so many people in this thread bashing on America(/ns) ? That was not part of the question at all...

I've studied to various levels of fluency 7 languages (French, Spanish, Latin, American Sign Language, Portuguese, Japanese and Mandarin Chinese) in addition to English... But of course I'm a 'prideful, arrogant, ignorant American', so please disregard me...



Just curious, which creole? I know of a few and there must be others I'm not familiar with as well.
