Languages (fixed now!)

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..

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 know English and Spanish...and I am hoping to learn Japanese one day.

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.

(for those who speak french, I realize that 'crappo' is not a word

)

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.

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!!

Primarily English, but I do know a lot of French (Or used to!)

I lost most of my Spanish...but I am working on it.

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.
