[MRcool2035]

its so so hard to find a jap guy to talk to in Canada.. and even though Canada is bilingual with French.. i've never met one in Canada..

[kakunou]

Japanese, (semi-broken northeasterner) English, Mandarin in that order.

Oddly enough, I can't understand 関西弁 (Osaka speak) very well. Then again, I sound like I learn and was from Kyoto or something when I speak aloud which is a good thing ^^;;

Latin doesn't count as "spoken" tho. *pouts* Stultus sum.

i live in new york, and there is a japanese bookstore on 49th st, i go there once in a while...
Kinokuniya? *grins* <3 Kinokuniya. I hear the one in the city isn't bad. They have another one near/in Fort Lee, NJ, right across the river from NYC that's near a Mitsuwa. Best baked pastries I've had in quite a while. ^^;;;

Interesting thought: when you speak a second/third language, do you have to *force* yourself to say, "k, now im gonna speak and think [language]", or does it come naturally?

[TeaHouse]

english is my 4th language...and i know 4 more after that...not fluent...but i know....-_-; i feel so...uncultured XD

[groan77]

First language is Chinese, second is English...

[ShunYada]

i can speak good japanese, and good english, learning french but im never gonna use it

[LusDekkar]

My first language is Chinese too, hakka though, not many ppl seem to speak it. I've tried to learn mandarin but i got lazy and never really learnt it :P And since i was born in Australia, I can't read or write chinese too.. except my name.
My second language is english, but I know it better than hakka... that's beacuse I live in Austraila.
I learn Japanese for about 6 months before i stopped because i was lazy (and had too much school work at the time). I'm giong to korea in about 2 months, hopefully i can get by with just english and a phrase book. I've tried pronouning some of the words in the korean phrase book, but I know i'm not saying it right.



Interesting thought: when you speak a second/third language, do you have to *force* yourself to say, "k, now im gonna speak and think [language]", or does it come naturally?

I suppose it depends on how well you know your other languages. I can pretty much switch between english and hakka without thinking, and often (if i'm talking to someone else who knows both as well) switch between english and hakka in the same sentence.

[TeaHouse]

My first language is Chinese too, hakka though, not many ppl seem to speak it.
what do you mean not many people speak it?? i know plenty of people who speak.....and chinese isn't a language -_-; is a cultural section...-_-; i think that is the bloody right word -_-;

its either you speak
cantonese
mandarin
tiasanese
fugenese
etc;
that is all the chinese languages i know and heard of

[simon^^]

English, German, some french skills... and i'm able to translate latin. :)

[Yggdrassil]

I speak Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, English and German. I suck at learning different languages, so this is it for me. Wish I could speak japanese, but seems way to hard to learn.

[Roburn]

ErM... I can speak these languages

English
Thai
Chinese
Cantonese
French (abit)
Hokkien
Malay

[knobi]

I speak German and english, and a bit japanese
^_^

[unknownsoldier]

I speak English, really bad spanish and equally bad Japanese.

So technically, I really only speak "one" language; I don't consider poor language skills being able to "speak" a language; in order to speak you have to be able to communicate. IMHO. And if your skills in a particular language don't provide you with the ability to communicate properly, then you can't really speak it.

Ex: I can probably float my way through a conversation with a French speaker, but that doesnt mean I can speak French. :)

[Ponzu]

ErM... I can speak these languages
English
Thai
Chinese
Cantonese
French (abit)
Hokkien
Malay
Wow, you can speak seven different languages. Must been hard to learn all those.

[micchi]

the language that i speak? depend on time and place :D
at home, i speak "indonesian"
at some forum, speak indonesia, english, and japanese

[LusDekkar]

what do you mean not many people speak it?? i know plenty of people who speak.....and chinese isn't a language -_-; is a cultural section...-_-; i think that is the bloody right word -_-;

its either you speak
cantonese
mandarin
tiasanese
fugenese

Same goes with Cantonese as well, although not as good as my Japanese; only *just* enough for conversations..

[hairy]

Im really Americanized so my cantonese is horrible now haha .. and i cant read one single character of chinese -_- I know some spanish and some german .. took spanish for 3 years, german for 4 =| but i have like nothing to show for it .. i know a few words and phrases in japanese that i've adopted from anime ;) thats about it ..

[yung]

what do you mean not many people speak it?? i know plenty of people who speak.....and chinese isn't a language -_-; is a cultural section...-_-; i think that is the bloody right word -_-;

its either you speak
cantonese
mandarin
tiasanese
fugenese
etc;
that is all the chinese languages i know and heard of

sorry...they should be:
Taiwanese: it's rather like a Chinese(manily MinNan, or aka Houlouwei) creole with Japanese loan words.

Hakka: very old/ancient Han sound....

Fukenese/Fujianese/Hokkien: and also many Singaporean/Malays also speak it.

Wu(Shanghai/Suzhou/Hangzhou etc area local dialects...another ancient Han sound.)

Northern part of China: probably they just speak Mandarin with slightly different accents and minor dialects.

and many many more local/accent dialects...

[yung]

To be honest with myself,
mother tongues: Chinese(Mandarin[99%] and Taiwanese[85%])
fluent:English[>90%]/Japanese[80%]/French[>70%]
PS: it's not a bragging thread, so none of us should pretend to understand some other languages that they actually don't.
listening only& response with Chinese or English: Hakka/Catonese.

It's very sad that I can't speak my mom's language, Hakka, at all...
I still must say that "the" education system in Taiwan is f*cked up again now...

[Atsura]

I can speak english and a little japanese ( learning it in school at the moment )
My dad's native language is Japanese and my mom is African American. They both speak japanese fluently, I can't. :( They've tried to teach me japanese but they aren't very good teachers :D It's easy to learn in school though.

[Beatnik]

Unfortunatly, after I entered elementary school I stopped speaking in korean since my parents decided to speak english at home to help me pick it up. Now I can only speak very basic korean although I can understand a lot more than I can speak. I also took three years of spanish at high school, but I forgot most of it by now since I never used it.

And I'm able to understand Danish and Norwegian quite well, and Scanian if it counts. :-P
I took French class for three years in school a few years ago, but I didn't take it seriously at all and failed the course (which i now regret), so I understand some of it, and am somewhat able to communicate with it. I've now just begun studying French (again) and Spanish, and I'll hopefully go on to other languages eventually (German, Dutch, Japanese, Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic, Portuguese, Mandarin, Korean, Indonesian, Cantonese).

PS. The order of the uplining of the various languages I'd like to study eventually is totally random.

I think I answered this in the coders thread. :)

But for natural languages, my native language is American English. I also have a smattering of British English, and enough German to ask directions. I also know enough Latin roots to piece together a rough idea of several Romance languages, but only in writing.

Oh...there was a topic like this already....

My mother tongue is Finnish. I have been learning English for 9 years so far, and I speak it quite good, but I still think my German is near it. As I moved to Germany 6.5 years ago. French, I do not really understand well, so I can't say that i speak it. So for the languages I speak are Finnish, English and German. And soon probably Japanese....
