What languages do you speak/ understand.
Just English. I'm Puerto Rican, my parents speak Spanish, yet I don't know the language. I tried learning a few times. I took Spanish 1-4 during my high school years, passed the regents tests, but learned nothing. I tried again two years ago with some Spanish language software. It was unsuccessful. I just can't seem to absorb this language. XD
English and American Sign Language. I only took 2 years of classes on ASL so I’m not amazing at it but when communicating with some of the deaf community I can understand a good amount of what they’re saying and vise versa. I tried to learn Spanish but seeing visual signs was much easier for me to memorize. If I could chose others to learn I’d like to understand French and Spanish as well.
Ah, I know a bit of sign language too, but I can't really communicate without using the alphabet! I can say "Bitch, please!", though! Hahaha!
Only English but I can read and write in Anglo Saxon runes. I can also say "I have a headache" in French.
Bulgarian (native), English, German, Spanish and I understand some Russian, but I can't speak Russian.
My English is the best tho... I've had Americans tell me I sound American. I've also had British tell me I sound British... Guess that's what movies, games and Top Gear do to you XD
My goal is to have the perfect Jeremy Clarkson accent XD
brooklyn hillbilly boston & some spanish

English and a little bit of an Arabic dialect that my husband's family speaks.
I took Japanese in University and can read Kana and a few dozen Kanji, but it's been 10 years and there's no way I could hold a conversation lol. I also know about 100 or so words in Spanish from growing up in a mostly Latino area, but can't form a sentence. I can understand maybe 60% of what people are saying if they're speaking slowly.
I speak english, french and creol. I speak creol here because that's our mother tongue and I'm pretty fluent in french. Speaking english asks some effort.
Arabic and English, Arabic is my native language i have never been to an English speaking country but am good at English since i went to an English school, i watch English movies, listen to English songs and ofc the internet duuh.
I also studied German in school so i know some stuff (not enough to have a proper conversatiom tho)
English, German, a bit Spanish, which I'm still learning, also very few words (no complete and more complex phrases) in Japanese and Swedish.
I pretty much only speak English. I have studied German, and Spanish, but I would say I don't have much proficiency in either.
English and Portuguese equally. Then, in order of how fluent I am, French, Italian and Spanish. I barely get by in German and know a couple of sentences in Polish, Russian and Japanese. And just one in Afrikaans.
Not really, I think. Apart from English and Portuguese (I was brought up between the US and Brazil during childhood) I just know those other languages enough to communicate in the countries where they are spoken!
I guess if you put it that way. I was only brought up around English. Still a lot to understand even if you arn’t very fluent in them, to me at least.
Yes, it is a lot!!! I try hard (I love languages and studying them), but the truth is that I can only really understand those other languages when I'm speaking to people who are willing to slow down a bit to actually communicate with me. :)
I’d love to study them more if only I could pay attention more and remember better. It was always so difficult for me but I keep trying to learn something beyond english. Probably the reason I can get asl down is because it’s pretty much english without some wording, and of course seeing and doing the movement rather than repeating a word and trying to remember it. I always have to tell deaf people “again slow” they’re so fast it’s like they assume I’m also deaf.
I love talking to deaf people in this other language but it sucks when I don’t know enough to understand a lot I’ll have to resign what they did and say “means what” every other word pretty much, feel like such a burden with it. But it is a nice experience I was happy to learn what it was like. I’d take more classes on it if I could.
