[eatenbyagrue]

English and Tagalog, but I'm also taking classes in Spanish, and intend to learn French, German and Latin when I finish that.

 

[darthzew]

Portuguese. I lived in Brazil for fourteen years.

 

[the hap]

My native language is English.

I took Spanish and Italian in high school and I took German and Russian in college.

 

[Kollega]

Do you have the russian accent, i love those. If you don't remeber, about half a year or so ago there was a Russian flight that had to be delayed because the pilot was drunk. NPR ([U.S]Natianal Public Radio) did a little thing on it and someone had the best russian accent impersonation, i loled for about 10 minutes.

I'm not sure. I have stupid accent as is,plus i speak English pretty well. But i can do "Hollywood Russian" if asked politely.

No Kazakh?

Nope. Tried to learn it when i was younger,but... meh. It's kind of pointless,since i won't stay here for all my life.

 

[thrubeingcool13]

I'm one of two that chose Italian as my second language. I'm a bit rusty, so I probably wouldn't fare well in a full-fledged conversation, but I can understand a lot of the language.

 

[lawgiver]

Russian here! Theres's only 18 students in my entire school in that class. It's pretty fun to learn

 

[Aur0ra145]

Texican, among several others.

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

No Kazakh?

Nope. Tried to learn it when i was younger,but... meh. It's kind of pointless,since i won't stay here for all my life.

That's interesting, a bit of insight into the culture of the post-Soviet Asian republics.

So are you an ethnic Russian? Can you get along with your life just fine without speaking Kazakh? This is all very interesting.

 

[MercenaryCanary]

I mainly speak American English, but I can speak some small time German.

 

[Horticulture]

German here. I spoke (babbled?) Mandarin as a baby, but haven't ever committed to relearning it.

Ich spreche Deutsch, und Englisch. Yay sorry I just don't get to speak German a lot in America. anyway, Hans spielt Fussball! if you can say that, and know what it is you can pass German 1 in America -_-.

I'm just passing on the hazing I got in German class. You still get a B+.

 

[sirdanrhodes]

Mine is bad English. Then followed by bad German.

 

[Housebroken Lunatic]

My primary language is Swedish. My secondary is English. I've studied a few other languages as well but never really had the patience to learn any of them to such an extent where I can engage in a normal conversation.

That being said, I have this crazy knack of excellent pronounciation. French teachers, spanish teachers and german teachers alike have told me that whenever I say something in the respective language (regardless of whether I know what the hell im saying or not), I almost sound like a fluent, native speaker. Some of my friends have told me the same thing when I've tried speaking Japanese, Chinese and some arabic as well.

This might not sound like much, but the fact that I passed my spanish class with good grades by my pronounciation alone could be some sort of testament, I guess.

I don't really know where this ability comes from, but I suspect that it has something to do with that I usually listen carefully to how a native speaker sounds like and try to emulate the same sounds. I guess im sort of a "linguistic parrot" or something. Rarely have any idea of what the hell im saying, but can mimic the sound quite well. XD

 

[Kazerlane]

I was born with, Tagalog (Filipino) and watching TV actually made me learn how to understand and speak English. (Weird eh?) I'm currently learning Spanish in school... and I want to learn German and Russian in my spare time, but... (procrastination)
