Poll: Do you know/are you learning a second language?

[mionic]

Hmm, this kinda makes me wish i could chose two, I am learning a new language because I have too at school, but I really really want to learn it..

 

[Zhadramekel]

I'm not learning anything super actively right now but I want to learn Italian and Japanese.

 

[purf]

I've been learning German for about 3 years, nearly 4 now. I understand pretty much everything grammar and sentence structure wise, but my vocabulary is still quite tiny, but I love the language and learning and also practicing with German speaking people both face to face and online.
I plan to then learn Dutch.

Oh, und, ich hab Deutsch seit zwei Jahren jetzt gelernt, und ich liebe Deutsch. Tut mir leid, wenn mein Deutsch nicht perfekt ist. (Use Google translate )

From what I understand, that was perfect except for the overuse of commas and the wrong case on "Jahr", but you did use Google, so no grudges shall be held.

Nö, (native speaker here) das war ziemlich genau perfekt, auch das "Jahren" - und die genauen Kommaregeln versteht sowieso niemand (You could have maybe placed the "jetzt" after "Deutsch", no biggie, though)

I really need to get around to work on my Danish, as I've been living here for almost 2 1/2 years. I can read ok, follow the contents of a conversation, but speaking... sadly, not so much.

Before this school year, I spoke Spanish almost fluently. Fast forward 7 months of not having it, and I've lost a good portion of it. I speak English very well though. I really want to learn Danish.

 

[Da Orky Man]

Well, I speak English as my first language. I can understand some Welsh, and I really want to learn either Swedish or Norweigan.

 

[Phototoxin]

Na bí ag caint, amadán!

 

[blokrokker]

I can speak German semi-fluently, Spanish decently, Chichewa (African language) enough to get a rough idea of what the hell is going on. Not to mention English (although I suppose I just did).

 

[awmperry]

Well, I'm half English and half Swedish, so I speak both of those fluently and have done for as long as I can remember. I started learning French when my parents bought me Muzzy [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzy_in_Gondoland] as a child, got worse at it when I took it at school in Scotland (with a teacher who spoke French with a Scottish accent), and finally got better when I started living in Brussels. Also picked up Dutch and Flemish then, and did a year of Latin.

My wife's Afrikaans, so I'm learning that as well, and picking up the odd bit of Zulu from her housekeeper. Then of course there are bits of other languages I've picked up out of interest; Russian, Japanese, Chinese, enough Greek to ask for chips with salt and vinegar... I don't know *much* of them (at all, really), but I know the basics.

Then of course there are the Scandinavian languages - just about any Swede will be able to at least understand written or spoken Danish and Norwegian, and anyone who speaks Dutch can at least make some sense of German.

So yeah. One or two languages. ;-)

 

[brass munkey]

I'm not learning any at the moment but I want to learn German or Russian.
I also took three years of Spanish in high school but don't remember much of it.

 

[NerdElf]

Well, everyone on the internet besides people who were born in a country with english as the main language already knows more than one language, so this thread is quite useless.
Anyway, I know 3 languages, I'm trying to learn serbian, then maybe something new, like french.

 

[James Crook]

I'm French, so I know French, and I can speak fluent English, that makes me bi-lingual... now, I'm learning Chinese, so I have to say yes

 

[Discon]

I speak Norwegian, Danish and English fluently. I know SOME German, and I'm currently learning Italian and French ^^

 

[NBSRDan]

I'll be learning C++ next spring in the hopes of increasing the number of skills I can monetize.

 

[RyanBishop]

I speak English.
Еще говорю по Русски. Родной язык.
Und, schliesslich ich lerne Deutsch. Aber ich kann nicht sehr gut Deutsch sprechen. Oder schreiben, ja. =)

 

[moonlantern]

Ich bin studiert Deutsch wegen viertel Deutsch bin mich. (I think that's right.)

Der einzige Fehler ist, dass man "lernen" benutzt würde. Also glaub ich, dass es sein würde:
"Ich lerne Deutsch wegen viertel bin ich." Aber, ich weiß nicht, wie man "viertel" benutzt würde. I weiß nicht, ob das sinn macht oder nicht.

anyway, you have good German, just watch out for using "bin" when you really don't need it. If you write "ich studiere" that means "I am studying (at a college)"

=]

Thanks for the critique. I'm pretty new at this and it didn't help that is was the middle of the night. XD

This is what I was trying to say:

I am studying (at a college) German, because I am one quarter German.

 

[EpicEps]

I'm hoping to start learning Japanese, soon. The main reason?

This.


Hell, I'll import the game regardless of whether or not I learn Japanese by then.

先生は日本語のガムをします。日本語をならいますから。

My Japanese teacher said to play Japanese games, because it will help us learn the vocabulary. I would recommend that you start learning the hiragana and katakana, because that is one of the major difficulties I've had.

 

[Bobbovski]

I speak Swedish, English, some Spanish and a tiny bit of German.

 

[Laurents van Cauwenberghe]

i speak dutch english french and a bit of german

 

[Quaxar]

English and German fluently and I should be able to speak Italian though I haven't in quite some time.

Oh, and I learned some basic Serbian from my girlfriend.
Svan'o ti je sudnji dan!
It means "your doomsday has come"... granted, it's not what you'd expect but it's all I need once I have my deathray pointed on Belgrad! It's just a bunch of laserpointers on balloons right now but you have to start with something.
