What Languages Do You Speak?
01-22-2013, 02:02 PM
People have asked about age, height, etc. Some guys have even made Portuguese lounge.
I am curious about what languages do you all speak, and how long?
I'll go first.
I speak:
- English (native)
- German (conversant, almost fluent)
- French (basic)
- Portguese (survival)
- Russian (enough to greet a cop and piss him off)
I am working on cementing fluency and then I will move on to Russian and Portuguese. One day I may go back to France to get back my French.

English in a choke hold, hanging in Spanish, just starting to get a good grip on Russian.

English is my native language. I can speak German about as well as a 12-14 year old kid.

1) English (Native)
2) Mandarin (Native - but not literate and cannot read or write)
3) Brazilian Portuguese - Almost 3 years of coursework in intensive 8 month span. Only a little advanced stuff but predominantly intermediate.
4) Spanish - Work in progress
5) Vietnamese -Polite greetings and food words.

English (native)
French (basic, couple years in high school, I can get by in a basic conversation if I need to)
Latin (I can carry on a good conversation but until the time machine is invented, it's of limited utility.)
Spanish (beginner, the Latin and French make it much easier to pick up vocab. My goal is to be fairly fluent by the end of the year.)

English (Native)
Spanish (Fluent) - I often get comments from spanish/hispanic girls saying my Spanish is as good as they've ever heard from a gringo before, I attribute this to learning it organically vs various programmes
Portuguese (Conversational) - Learning very quickly because of similarities to Spanish but having some pronunciation problems, I attribute this to not learning organically and using programmes
French (Basic) - I know a few key phrases, after portuguese this will be my next mission.

Cast my vote for "1". Pretty depressing really...working on it though.

That's pretty damn impressive bro.
When you say fluent English, but Gujarati mother tongue, do you mean you moved here late in childhood or do you mean Gujarati is what your parents spoke but that you speak English as basically a first language? As in, do you have an accent?
