I'm exactly the same, it's scary.

Do you understand Norwegian and Danish? I kinda do.

For fun yes, but I'm also very interested in Japan and all the stuff that comes with it. I've been interested in visiting that country for a long while now and it'd be good to know the language (to some degree at least) too.

It's just general interest for me I guess If I wasn't so interested in it, I can bet I would've already quit studying it. I'm not sure where that comes from though.

Spanish and English....

a little french but, very little.

Well, I don't think that the PROCESS is fun, but I'd like to be able to open up the doors that knowing another language does.

I don't have a particular end-result motive, other than "hey, think of all the Japanese technology I could learn about by reading websites in Japanese" or "it would be fun to converse with my Spanish-speaking friends", and so on.

This was what initially got me interested. I don't know if it's ever going to happen now, though. (I'd love to just live there for a year or something.)

English B+
Ukrainian A
Russian A+

I'd love to speak English better and maybe a little Japanese as I'm an avid anime fan

Posted by Scottaculous on Apr-09-2009 14:40:

English, Cantonese, Mandarin, little French from JHS and HS

I wanna improve my reading and writing in Chinese and learn Japanese and Spanish.

Posted by Ania_xox on Apr-09-2009 14:41:

Polish, English and French, I speak fluently.
I studied German for 5 years so I like to think I have a working knowledge of Deutsch.

I, too, would love to learn Spanish but have yet to find the time to take some courses.

I love Swedish but I gave up after 3 hours. My mouth just doesn't move that way. GAW. BAW. YAW.

2. English and French and currently learning Spanish. I grew up speaking German and French but when I moved to Toronto and learned English..POOF went the German.

Posted by Omega_Blue on Apr-09-2009 15:33:

english, korean, french, and that little bit of spanish that all americans learn from just living there

Posted by The17sss on Apr-09-2009 15:48:

Only English here... was pretty decent in Spanish for a period but never practiced after school and it's fading fast. I'm not gonna pretend that I can speak it either like a lot of people who say, "Yeah I speak spanish, and Italian is kinda similar to Spanish so I know Italian too... and Portugese is kinda similar to Spanish so I know Portugese too." So I guess I'm a typical American who only speaks one language.
My wife speaks Russian, Uzbek, English, and Arabic which makes me feel like an even bigger retard.

Posted by Unique2701 on Apr-09-2009 16:07:

Dutch, English, Cantonese and a tiny bit of Mandarin. I want to learn to speak Mandarin fluently, which shouldn't be too hard since Cantonese and Mandarin are a bit similiar.

I am fluent in one language, English. I took German for 3 years in high school and I spoke very well, but I haven't used it since 2001, so have "lost" it. I will be brushing up on it again when I start school this fall. Russian is my next one after brushing up on my German.

Oh and I find learning a language to actually be pretty cool and fun. I enjoy trying to emulate the native speakers.

I think Arabic, Armenian, and Turkish sound fucking hot

I love when I hear two guys arguing or having a heated discussion in Arabic. They always seem to be talking so passionately about some shit. I usually assume they are talking about religion, politics, or futbol.

Thats exactly what I'm like with French. Haven't done anything with it for maybe 10 years though too.

when i hear two guys talking in arabic it sounds like they are both dying from tuberculosis and are trying to hack up a huge hork wad. then i finding myself scanning their feet looking for the fuse to their shoe bombs.....
