The famous "druken foreign language native speaker" :P
Good to know another french speaker there!
RE: What spoken languages do you know? - mpr - 04-06-2016
Only fluent in English. But I took french all throughout primary school (2nd - 12th grade), and have spent some time in France. Je parle un peu de francais, mais ce n'est pas trop bien ;)
RE: What spoken languages do you know? - z3bra - 04-06-2016

RE: What spoken languages do you know? - Laserswald - 05-06-2016

RE: What spoken languages do you know? - jkl - 13-01-2017
Now I know already two Americans who speak English instead of Gibberish. Nice.
RE: What spoken languages do you know? - acg - 13-01-2017
I'm learning mandarin now
RE: What spoken languages do you know? - mrtn - 14-01-2017
English, german, a few words and phrases in russian, spanish and french. But I'll learn proper french soon, I swear.
RE: What spoken languages do you know? - wsaile - 14-01-2017
I speak English as a first language. I'm learning Mandarin now.
RE: What spoken languages do you know? - hades - 15-01-2017
English as a first language, learning Spanish (had Spanish in high school but didn't really learn it)
The fact that I have a crush on a girl who speaks Spanish as her first language, and doesn't know much English, is kind of motivating me this time around.

Hope she's helping you. I can help with your Spanish if you're feeling that motivated.
RE: What spoken languages do you know? - r4ndom - 01-03-2017
My first language is German and I also speak English I guess ^^
RE: What spoken languages do you know? - seninha - 25-08-2020
If you don't mind, I'd like to revive this thread because it was a good thread and a way for we to introduce ourselves better.
With fluency, I speak Portuguese (my native language), English (the language I needed to learn to study), and Esperanto (the language I learned in a year I had nothing better to do).
I understand Galician, a bit of Spanish (or should I say Portuñol: a mix of Português & Español) and a bit of Italian.
I want to learn Latin and Māori, and I know a bit of their grammar and word patterns, but not much of their vocabulary (especially for Māori).
Languages I want to learn and I know nothing of are: German, Russian and Georgian.
RE: What spoken languages do you know? - opfez - 25-08-2020
Nice to see this thread revived.
I speak Norwegian (mother tongue), English, I'm learning French in school and know just a tiny bit Russian.
RE: What spoken languages do you know? - s0kx - 25-08-2020
Finnish (native), English, Swedish and just a tiny tiny bit of Italian.
Oh how I envy you people who don't have to study a minimum of three languages.
RE: What spoken languages do you know? - ckester - 25-08-2020
I can read German to some extent, can understand someone speaking it to a lesser extent (if they don't go too fast), but can only write or speak it at a very elementary level.
Some of that carries over to other Germanic languages like Dutch, Swedish, or Norwegian. I'd like to learn Dutch, since it's closer to the language of my ancestors (they spoke the Limburgish dialect).
I can sometimes make sense of things written in French, but the spoken language leaves me baffled.
Dittos for Spanish.
That's it.
I.e., not much more than a typically ignorant American.
RE: What spoken languages do you know? - eadwardus - 25-08-2020
wow, a lot of people in here know more than two languages.
English (fluent)
Portuguese (fluent)
to increase the numbers and look smarter than i actually am:
Spanish (able to understand, mostly)
German (a little bit. started to learn but got too lazy to continue)
RE: What spoken languages do you know? - venam - 07-06-2021
Let's make the thread of the week a bit off-topic (this doesn't mean you should go on big tangents, keep it civil).
Since, we're all having fun sharing our workflows and getting to know each others better, let's ask again things like "what language do you speak".
As jkl would say: The language we all speak is broken english.
RE: What spoken languages do you know? - ols - 07-06-2021
English natively, German decent, French as a tourist
RE: What spoken languages do you know? - jkl - 07-06-2021
Good quote above!
Also, my attempts at adding Japanese have not come any further during the pandemic - I even unlearned Greek!
RE: What spoken languages do you know? - dany74q - 23-06-2021
First post - neat way to introduce oneself.
Ordered by fluency (descending):
- Hebrew (I'm Israeli, pretty close to @venam, hey neighbor !)
- English
- Russian
- Georgian (Kartuli)
My parents immegrated from a post-USSR Georgia @ 1994, which explains the latter two.
Happy to be here !
