What Languages Do You Know?

[Lambi]

I know my native language, Icelandic, and I'm quite fluent in English. I know a little tiny bit in German, Japanese and Danish.

 

[Merkavar]

english and like some words in other languages. but there mainly the words that a like pretty commonly spoken like hello in french or chinese etc

 

[BENZOOKA]

Finnish and English.

Some Swedish. I understand it better than I can use it myself. Also a tad bit of German and Spanish.
Although, a proper Finn wouldn't say he knows a language at all, unless he could write a novel using that language.

 

[Hiraeth]

I only 'know' English. I've studied Ancient Greek (a little) and I'm currently taking a Latin course. Yay for dead languages!

*slaps* NOT DEAD LANGUAGES. /rant.

I'm joking. It's kinda funny though, cuz they ent.

Eh, as far as I'm concerned any language with no native speakers is effectively dead. Then again, I study history, not linguistics, so I don't care enough to argue about it.

[latenightapplepie]

English, a fair bit of French and Latin, some Ancient Greek and a little Spanish.

How much Latin, if I may ask?

Also, how is Greek? I have been considering learning it after learning a few others.

I've studied it for about 8 years. But most of the learning I've done is more theoretical and from grammar books rather than texts, but that's how most of highschool Latin learning is, I suppose.

Ancient Greek is really quite similar and easy to learn if you've done Latin. However there is an entirely new alphabet to learn and a multitude of accent rules are a little tricky at first.

 

[Amethyst Wind]

Wa hoi schwa y-dyar po-tong-hwa.

That's about the only language I know. Yep, no others at all.

Native English speaker. French at the level of conversation, novels, newspapers, etc. Spanish at the level of simple newspaper articles. Everyday spoken Japanese and reading at the level of children's books.

Clever.

OT: English. Planning to learn Japanese, Spanish, Russian, German and Chinese. Chinese last.

And, French. The language of Love. Japanese is still better at conveying emotion though. But, that might be the Otaku talking.
