So far it seems that Enlgish, French and German are dominanat languages among the forum members.

I speak English, French (to a reasonable degree) and German (badly). I wouldn't mind being able to speak Icelandic.

I speak German and semi-fluent English. I've learned French, but forgot most of it.

I'm fluent in English (more so than many other native speakers). I can speak German, but due to not understanding the importance of gender when learning German words, I am often inaccurate with gender. I like to listen to German radio stations. My German and English let me have a stab at reading Dutch (I can usually grasp the general meaning, but not the details) and Frisian isn't far removed from English at all.

I can survive in French if necessary. A grounding in Latin means that I can often piece together other Romance languages, too. Especially if they are written.

Learning a language's structure is easy. It's the vocabulary that's time consuming. I'd like to be better at German, but that's going to take actual travel, something I can't readily afford.

A nice topic, and a suprising number of those who mention Russian. Very well!

What languages do you speak?
Russian, English, Standard Arabic, French (would rather speak than write), German (formerly I could speak it, now it's only "du hast" and similar). A few words from Dutch from a combination of English & German.

What languages do you want to learn?
German (again), French (my grammar is awful), fluent Tunisian Arabic. May be Japanese, but that will be in 50 years or so.

What do you think is the best language?
umm... Mandarin Chinese?

I fluently speak english and romanian, other languages that I know are french and a little bit of deutch (did I wrote it right?

)

I think the greatest language is english, far away from mandarin chinese because I bet I can`t understand and learn it

AndersI · Post by **AndersI** » 15 Dec 2006 17:57

Swedish, fluently (which means I can understand Danish and Norwegian writing, although not always speech)
English, OK (9 years at school, lots of practise)
German, so so (OK to read, not so good talking, did study 5 years at school)
Russian, remembers very little (did study three years at school, but that was 35 years ago, not been using it much)

Other languages that I may be able to read (more or less), but definitely not understand anything from a speaker:
French, Dutch, Italian

I know Hebrew and English well,
I had learned a bit Arabic, but I forgot almost everything...

I wanna learn Latin.

Skiper410 · Post by **Skiper410** » 16 Dec 2006 19:14

I don't know why Latin can be so interesting (in a french point of view ^^)

French : My natural language. So..
English : Sometimes better than my french, not my natural language thought.
Spanish : I still don't speek very well yet
Japanese : I learnt by the past but I had to stop, lack of time.
