What languages do you speak (or for those of you in school -- what lanauge are you taking)?

Oh yeah.. why don't I tell you what I speak.. I speak English, very little Latin (so I didn't vote for it), and Spanish. I'm planning to minor in Spanish when I go to college, and I'm aiming to get into Spanish 4 Honors when I'm a senior in HS.

Edit: Muhahaha -- I fixed it.. now I just have to get the other one deleted.. :unsure:

Dutch, English and French. I also understand quite a bit German and another official language of Holland, but I haven't really learned for them and I don't speak them very well so I didn't count those.

Oh yeah, I also took Latin and Greece for a few years, so I can understand a little bit of those too.

I only know English but I want to learn Japanese at some point. Have to find a good class that's not overly expensive.

I speak English. Not very well at that, either. Which is sad, considering it's my first and basically only language :( ;)

I used to be able to speak french quite well. But then I purposely forgot it all...and I still have to get a high school french credit. :(

Je prefere l'anglais. Francais est tres crappo. ;) :p (for those who speak french, I realize that 'crappo' is not a word :rolleyes: )

I already speak English. I was raised speaking Vietnamese, but I lost a lot of it (I will pick it up again some time). I have studied Latin for 6 years. And I studied French for 4 years. Hopefully I'll become fluent in French.

Hopefully I'll become fluent in French. Live in France for a few months and your French will be fluent, I promise! I lived there for 3 weeks, and it really improved my pronounciation!!

I'm taking Korean in school, but I hardly know any of it. That might be because all we do in that class is watch movies. I think I've seen around 25 movies in that class. I'm not even exaggerating.

Well, I actually have lived in France for an extended period of time, so my French is much better than most people who studied high school French for 4 years (not that that's hard). I didn't get fluent, though, because pretty much everybody in France knows English anyway. :(

Living in Vietnam ought to improve my Vietnamese, though. :D

Cool!!! So I'm not the only one here who speaks Hebrew!!! I speak English and a bit of Spanish, though not well, and Hebrew a bit worse than the Spanish... I'm rather good in Yiddish, though I'm not sure if it's an official language.

I speak English, French (although I'm much better at reading it compared to conversational use), some Japanese (and I'll be taking it in university. Probably would be a good thing to do, considering how I plan to teach in Japan ;)) and a few little tidbits of Italian I've learned from an Italian exchange student who has been at my high school this year.

And ThatGuyAgain, only you and Xantar understand Latin. The third 'vote' was made by Joeiss, and he doesn't speak Latin.
The only mistake you made was the 's' after 'speaker'. If you don't get it now, I don't believe you had the brains to learn Latin. :D

Well, great. I've got people telling me to learn French in Paris and another person telling me to learn French in Quebec.

There's only one thing I can do...

Learn French in Belgium. :p

Actually, some aspects of Belgian French make sense to me such as saying "septante" instead of "soixante-dix."
