How many languages do you know?

[BlakAdder]

I speak English and some Spanish. I'm learning it in school anyway.
Oh, and I can understand a little bit of ebonics. XD

 

[Dann Woolf]

English and Dutch.

But English is my first language.

Damn it, I thought being bilingual was something special, but it seems that everyone and their grandmother is MULTIlingual.

Compared to some of you guys my measly two languages looks pathetic as usual...

 

[Haki]

My native language is Croatian, which means I also know Slovenian, Serbian and Bosnian. These languages are very similar.

I also know German, English and Latin.
I can understand a little bit of Spanish and Italian but I'm not good at speaking them.

 

[Sic Semper Tyranosaurus]

English, and probably enough Japanese to have a meaningful conversation with a seven year old. Unaided, at least. I can bump my vocabulary up if I have my notecards.

 

[van helblaze]

English, some Spanish, and I know a tiny bit (1-10) in Korean (I use to take Tang-Soo-Do, not Tie-Kwan-Do

 

[Dann Woolf]

and Ruby

I don't think so, Tim.

Programming languages don't count.

maybe he speaks Ruby, I know people who speak Klingon

 

[Sonata]

I think it's kinda' lame how people are listing coding languages and musical theory as lingual languages.

Anyway, I speak English and very broken French.

 

[Roys]

I don't know what is the point of that question but anyway...I speak French (my mother tongue), English, Italian and Spanish, and if you torture me I can speak some German ^^

Impossible, those people never leave their basements... except for Star Trek conventions.

[Wichu]

Czech

Yay! That was my first language, though I've switched to English as my mother tongue. It's really strange to think that I used to think in Czech (I think in English now). Oh, and:

class Wichu < RMXPdotOrg_User
def knownLanguages
  return ["English","Czech","Ruby"]
end
end

:P

EDIT: Hmm... Maybe this could work better?

wichu=RMXPdotOrg_User.new("Wichu")
wichu.knownLanguages=["English","Czech","Ruby"]
wichu.knownLanguages.pop if !ProgrammingLanguagesValid

lol, Your so funny

I speak a little German (thats more than how to count to ten for anybody who was thinking it) it's an easy language to pick up as lots of words are the same or only a little diffirent the hard part learning the gender of each noun.

I'm also currently studying Russian. My god is it difficult the whole 33 letter alphabet,6 diffirent cases and not using articles is really confusing :crazy:, I have a new found respect for anybody who understands Russian and English.

*EDIT*
Gav do you mean Kenji? (not sure if that's correct spelling) I thought there was over a thousand different letters.

Six cases? We have seven. Want to learn Czech?   :grin:

ah yeh i remember now. i originally learnt the basic alphabet, which contains 30 odd characters, and its called the hiragana. which is your basic consonant sounds like "ta". umm the kenji, i think is another completely different alphabet which is used more for place names and days of the week etc. the kenji, i think, is the older version of the two. Upon checking of wikipedia, i found its actually called kanji and is originally from china. they also have ANOTHER alphabet-thing which is called katakana, which is used for animals and foreign places.

yeh

I'd like to become as multi-lingual as possible, after I finish Russian I’d like to return to learning German. The hard part is finding a tutor. I’m learning Russian through a university lecturer and they have: German, French, Spanish, Italian and Japanese  lecturers though I don’t think they have any Czech.  I’m curios to know, do you use the Cyrillic alphabet? If so I’ve already got a head start :thumb:.
Also have you got tips on how to roll R’s I keep trying but always end up sounding like a handicap :tongue2:?

This is of topic but would it be alright to create a thread with a veto against to normal language rules, not as an excuse for multi-lingauls to show off, but for language practise :huh:?

No, fortunately we use the "normal", latin alphabet, so that's easier. But we still have the seven cases, gramatical gender (paper is "he", pencil is "she", glue is "it",...), many different endings for nouns, verbs and adjectives depending on the person and gender, and lots and lots of other things. In short - a really nice language!  :lol:
