When I first started going on TI, I ignoranlty assumed that everyone on here lived in predominent English-speaking countries, but lately I have noticed how wrong I was. So what I was wondering is, how many of you out there are bilingual(or even trilingual)? If you are, then what other languages do you speak?

:? Dontk now if it bilangual, but i speak a bit of french, learning from school... probably gonna forget latter in life, since i hate the language.

I speak english and some spanish..this is my third year (just starting) and i have a bad teacher so i dont expect to learn much this year :(

My mom is Spanish (Spain) and my dad is English so I speak fluent English and a little of Spanish.

I know English, Cantonese, Mandarin (not as well as canto), and Toisan (a countryside dialect of Canto).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also know a few random phrases from French. lol.

English, some chinese, even less spanish.

I speak, read, and write the following fluently:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

English - Living in USA

 

 

 

Spanish - Venezuelan

 

 

 

French - Born and raised a bit in France

 

 

 

Italian - Lived in Italy

 

 

 

Portuguese - Lived in Brazil

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pentalingual?

Sadly I just speak English, but I can understand most Spanish. I really wish I learned a language fluently, but I guess it's my own fault.

im in the same boat as you, i learnt me a bit of french back in the old school, but as you can see i didnt teach me any english

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:/

Norwegian

 

 

 

English

 

 

 

Swedish

 

 

 

Danish :P

English and toy san, and some cantonese. Spanish from 5 yrs of school.

Dutch (native language)

 

 

 

English (fluently)

 

 

 

French - I'll read and understand any, and hear and understand most French. Speaking/writing are a lot harder though.

 

 

 

German - same as French, reading and listening is a lot easier than writing or speaking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also know Latin and Ancient Greek, but those aren't spoken anymore and modern Greek is rather different from Ancient Greek - I can't really understand it, though I can read the characters which are still the same.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know random phrases in Polish and Czech (though more in Polish). I also know quite a few songs in Spanish, Latvian, Russian, Polish, Czech and some other assorted languages. Sorry for you, but unlike some others on this forum I'm not going to post music files of me singing ;).

Dutch - language

 

 

 

English - Decent to good, but not as good as Hanni or Necro. :oops: :P

 

 

 

French - Had it at school, my mom teaches French at a school, but I don't understand it, I know a few standard lines that come in handy on holliday, but that's it

 

 

 

German - Had it at school for three years, then didn't have it for three years, and now I'm learning it again. Can't really speak or write, but I can understand German people and most of the time I manage to get an answer with speaking and using my hands and feet (not in the violant way of course)

 

 

 

English - Decent to good, but not as good as Hanni or Necro. :oops: :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hell of alot better than mine :oops: :( AND IM AMERICAN! :\

Dutch - native language

 

 

 

French - Learned it for 10 years, live like 20 km from france. Fluent in it.

 

 

 

English - Apart from the odd unknown word, and the 'to-too'-mistakes and mistakes between 'l' and 'll', I do fine :)

 

 

 

German - Been taught in school, didn't like it much, but I can understand most, and get most said (and written)

 

 

 

Spanish - Just know the basics, but enough to get around as a tourist.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I'd like to include my dialect, west-flemish in here too. A variant of dutch, but with alot of french influence, very fast spoken, still using falls (contrary to dutch), and incomprehensable for every other dutch speaking person.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Intend to learn basic finnish or swedish once.

By the fault of the British educational system I know only basic French and German. Discraceful. I didnt even START learning German until i was 13 :( Thats rubbish, I belive you should start learning other languages, even if its only very basic letters and numbers, as soon as you start primary.

i know english and earth worm

I agree to that, i learned very little of laguages at 13-14, it's a stupid system.

Truth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I loved languages, wish we had been tought them properly, and from an earlier age.

I'm on the same boat as Riz and Matt... Started to get taught other languages at 12. I didn't follow them so well, so gave up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I loved counting in German though. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So I speak English, and various slang. :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ken wit am talkin boot. 8)

I'm Chinese and live in Sweden so I can speak, write and read:

 

 

 

-Chinese

 

 

 

-Swedish

 

 

 

-English

 

 

 

-German (although I didn't start learning German until 6th grade, which is 4 years ago, so I'm not fluent in it or anything yet.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then soon I reeeaaaally wanna start learning Spanish! Such a cool language :D

Just plain old English

fluent english and norweagian, swedes and danish understand me, i understand german and im learning it atm. and i know some random fraces in latin and others like: Je suis une vache avec le nez du frommage and Gem ddwl yw criced.

Can only talk English here. :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Learnt French and German in secondry school but have forgotten most of it.

 

 

 

Can pick out certain words and maybe a sentence in those languages as well as count in them. Learnt a tiny amount of Gaelic in Primary school.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd really like to learn a language when I'm older.
