I have an 103.59% average in Spanish :p

Yeah, I'm beginning to even think in Spanish. Then I get really mad, cause I don't know how to say certain things and it bugs me. When I'm being really blonde, I start speaking Spanglish with my friends and they look at me all weird... o_O
 
LOL i keep on trying to learn pig-latin. but i never get it after a day of trying it with my friend. lol. :p

russian and english. prolly already posted that in this thread:rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
There's a new language I wanta learn now, and have sorta been teaching myself online - JAPANESE! It's great. It also helps listening to Japanese music (Gackt and Gazette = AMAZING).
 
a few words in Spanish, German, French and Latin because that's what my friends and family took for their language class

actually I can do fairly well with sign language

Elvish! Klingon!

Lol.
Listening to the music...well I dont think it helps too much. To me, at least. But when you watch subtitled anime it helps alot more.

Cause you dont know the english translation when you hear the lyrics. =/ so its kinda hard to comprehend.
 
Time to repost my knowledge in languages :)

I speak
Icelandic (fluently in every respect)
Danish (speak it alright, write now well, listen not well, read it well)
Pig-Latin (I´m able to write some very simple sencetences with all helping tools possible beside me and I can translate it fairly well, but it´s an extremly difficult language)
Spanish(I´m pretty good in it and I love it, I´m best in reading and writing and pretty good in talking but I´m not good in listening to it)
English (I´m fluent when it comes to writing and reading but I have to get slightly better in pronouncing it)

I am also capable of understanding written Norwegian and I can understand some easy german sentences

Languages I want to learn:
French
Gaelic
Italian

Oops! :p Ya, listening to J-pop/rock etc doesn't help with understanding, but sorta does with pronouncing. But anime with subtitles is a WAY better way of learning. :p

'Specially cause the sentence structure is way different than English.

English
French

Japanese

Spanish
Chinese.

Semi fluent in Japanese and know enough Spanish and Chinese to get by. :rolleyes:
 
^Yeah the structure is one of the hardest parts to get used to {at least I think so}

but other than that, I think its pretty easy to learn.
 
^It's quite hard to literally translate. My brain synapses[sp] in the foreign language department are not fully developed. It takes me a little while. LOL

True... one of my friends picks the language up quite easily, but others can hardly remember anything past "konnichiwa". XD It all depends on how much you want to learn it, I guess...
 
I speak Swedish and English fluently. I know Spanish fairly well and I have a pretty intermediate knowledge of Icelandic. I also know basic German and a wee bit of Tolkien's Elvish languages.

Being Swedish, it's very easy for me to understand the other Scandinavian languages. I probably understand 90-95% of written Norwegian/Danish. I understand spoken Norwegian to about 75% and spoken Danish to about 40%.

I also find written Dutch quite easy to understand :)

That's about it I believe
