what languages do you speak?

I was wondering what languages everyone spoke...

Russian
English
French
Working on German...

-Dasha

And apparently Lyra knows enough German to call herself a pineapple in Georgia!!

erm... I speak

Bulgarian
French
Italian
Russian
English

I've studied Spanish in the University for two months, but we had to switch to Italian, because of lack of professors, and now I'm studying Portuguese, but (shame on me) I'm still on the 10th lesson Uh, I wish I had enough time to learn it

I'm always impressed by all the languages you speak !

As for me...
French
English (not so good, but I try)
German (to tell you the truth, I have forgotten my German, but I can speak a bit if I want, and if I remember my grammar... )

Erm...

English (first language)

French (I understand everything, but... the rest is more difficult. )

and I understand Spanish, but I cannot speak it very much.

Well....of course Romanian
English - I have studied it for a long, long time so I hope I can say that I have vocabulary for a quallity conversation. Although grammar...blah!!
Hungarian - I speak it with my grandparents and sometimes with my mom but unfortunatelly I have forgotten a lot of it. If I would live in Hungary and practice the language, everything would be much, much better.
Spanish - I understand a lot but I am not able to say long and complicated sentences.
French and Italian - because they are latin languages, I can understand some sentences or words but I can't say a complete sentence. Actually I can't say a thing...so these shouldn't count. I don't know why I mentioned them...

As for Polish and Russian - I'm/I was trying to study but it's very difficult and I'm lazy. I'm more preoccupied with Polish now, so i forgot a lot (from the little I knew ) from Russian language.

And don't be scared....just to summarize...I speak only Romanian, English and Hungarian..and maybe little, little Spanish.

Hugs ,
Alex

Sorry, as usually I write non-sense and I "speak" a lot.

Nooo, you don't write non-senses, Alex ! Even if you do, you're not the only one Please, keep speak a lot! You explain everything so well.

Btw, I'm glad to "see" you here

Kisses!

I speak french, english, spanish, finnish and swedish (not very well)

Hehe...
Russian- first language...my first word was in Russian...
English- second language...
French- in a way, my third language though it is terrible!
Greek- don't ask...
German- the most sensible of the languages offered at my school...so German it is!!
Spanish- a little tiny bit! I picked a little bit up in primary school!


Lyra

Yes, Dasha, I can call myself a pineapple in Georgia. I can also call you one too! Dasha ist eine Ananas, die in Georgia wohnt! Und sie auch eine verrückte, russische und whimsical Ananas! MWAH HA HA!!! Ms.Stein would be proud!

Meee... humm

Russian of course

English - when I was little I used to learn and to speak British english and I loved it very much and I spoke very well but then I had a break. I forgot a lot. Still I can speak english, although it's not that british now

French - j'adoooore I love the language. It's verry beautiful.

Bulgarian - I love it very much, too. I feel somewhat special when I speak it, because you could never find a lot of russians who can speak it

Spanish & Italian - I tried to learn both, but I didn't manage to learn a lot. I just had no time. Still I can understand and I can say something (not complicated, though )

Romanian - I'm trying to learn, because I'm very curious it's really hard, though

I have almost the same set as Vania!!!!!!

That's like me in French! When I was 6 to 11 years old, I was completely fluent. But, I had very few classes in French, after that. So, I forgot too much of it. Lerochka, I actually thought your accent when you spoke English was almost a French accent. Seriously!!! It was so funny + cute!!!

Yay!!! What was it? Mine was, "Hi". I would say it to absolutely everyone, too. I was a very outgoing baby.

And Spanish... Mine is so bad. Me and Chelsea used to practice speaking it together. What a mess that was!!! Chelsea's favourite sentence was, "Qué hombre tan bonito!"

I speak

English..
German...( not really good)

kisses

Yes, Lira!!!! What was THE word? $))))

Well, I speak Russian, cause I-m Russian
English - whatever, I'm an English Teacher
Just ADORE it!!!! I'm crazy about it and have been studying it since I was 4.
German, I speak very BAD German... Those awful Germans wouldn't understand me!!!!!! Never!!! I still speak german when I'm in German-speaking countries. It's a lot of fun They don't understand me, I don't understand them, so there are only 2 ways out - either I give up and shift to English or they give up and shift to sign language $)

Haha, the same for me !!! I went to Germany 2 years ago, and I really tried to speak German. But my German was so bad that people answered to me in English... And we finished the conversation in English.
But the worst was in Czech Republic. There, people don't speak a lot English, so I had to speak my horrible German with my French accent, and I tried to understand people with their German with Czech accent ! And near me, my mom laughed a lot...

Hehe...all I can do in German right now is name a bunch of colors, say hello, goodbye, ask where the airport or train station is, and call you a pineapple...

My first word was no... Apparently my older brother was saying "No, no!!" when my mom was trying to get him to eat his spinach and I decided to mimic him...I started yelling "NO, NO!!!" And from then on, I would go waltzing around whenever people were over singing "No, no, no, no!!" And this was, of course, in Russian. Then I learned hi, and then my 6th or 7th word was "yes" And I think I learned "yes" in English before I even learned it in Russian!


Lyra

Random comment here...one of the teachers at my school, who teaches a foreign language, graduated from Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia, Bulgaria...random comment now over...
I just kinda felt the need to randomly post that...


Lyra

as for me...

my first language is Dutch, because I'm from The Netherlands
and then German, because it's quite similair, and my family live very near to Germany, so they use to speak Dutch with a huge German accent...actually I speak German with a huge Dutch accent...
as for Lyra: Ich bin eine Ananas, Ik ben een ananas, almost the same.

then English, I'm not good at it, but here in the forum I'm learning new words (like erm... last week I saw I used it twice in an English essay....my teacher was mad as the hell and wanted to know why I made these stupid things in "the most beautiful language on earth"
my answer started with erm... )

we too learn French, mine is bad, mais c'est une langue tres belle and it's fun to learn. In Holland we have a joke about the words Je t'aime, je t'adore! when we say it, je t'adore sounds like...shut the door....and we made a big poster for our French teacher of two people who are in love and get that mistake..Is it too known in other countries?

Russian is the most wonderful language I know , but I'm very bad at it, no time to learn it....

as for Greek...I speak a little old-Greek and also Latin not much, because we usually just translate things into Dutch.

In Spanish and Hebrew I can just say simple things like Me gusta nadar or la kova sheli, but Spanish is similair to Latin and French so I can understand it better.

Oh, rachel. it's so pleasant to hear you like russian

Hehe...Greek is fun to tease people in... And make random jokes...the words son and pig are very similar and there is this random joke about it... And the best part is that you can say anything to a person and they will just be like: Because they think you are saying something else... Yes, pineapples are fun!! I know bits and pieces of latin...

Hehe...I'm sorry erm got you in trouble serisha!! I always get in trouble for saying/putting hehe in my writing and all...
