Second Languages

[ΙεΙίος1]

Know more than 1 language? Have you ever wanted to learn one? Which one and what sparked your interest? (Apart from English, duh)

I was learning french for around 4 years when I was younger cause we had the option for either that or german in school. A friend of mine and I started taking private classes as well for some reason, was kinda random tbh (I don't remember much, never actually spoke outside of classes) and now I'm kinda teaching myself japanese cause I'm a fucking weeb innit.

At what level are you with the last 3 languages? Relatively fluent, able to hold a conversation etc.

 

[DB KILLER]

I studied a little bit of French before getting kicked out from the class for racism, I've been interested for quite a while in learning German but never got round to it.

since im a balkan chad I speak 3 languages by defult - croatian, bosnian and serbian (its actually serbo croatian but dw about it)
I've been trying to learn dutch, I reckon I could conversate with ppl to a primitive degree but lack the vocabulary and will to learn the language cuz im always busy

I also learned english by age 6 and speak it better than my own language.

further proof that gamers are the most oppressed minority

German - Relatively fluent, fully understand but harder time in speaking
French - Can understand what you say but speaking is really hard
Russian - У тя шо жопа шо рожа: все пригоже. Swearing and basic sentences only

 

[Aquaa]

I speak every balkan language, russian, french, and English.

 

[ΙεΙίος1]

Dutch would be something I'd consider to learn. I'd like to be able to hold a conversation since I plan on visiting the netherlands in the future.

Never really learnt any languages, did French for 4 years but forgot it all as after school I never had to speak it. I'm going to travel the world in a few years after I kickstart my career then maybe I'll learn some things, trying now to learn a coding language

Issue with native English speakers, especially in the UK is that everyone wants to practice their English with us. Because we're a island, unless you're in Wales, all signs and stuff is in English, and almost all tourists speak English. Whenever we go abroad and people find out we're English, they want to speak English to us, instead of us trying their language.

I always make a effort to speak the language of the country I'm in. Except for when in Belgium, because fuck Belgium (except for @Belg Lmfao )

My Germans moderate, I can understand quite a bit, and speak some far better than my French. I used to study it at school, but we used to play a game where we would see how often we could mention the war without actually mentioning it. So we'd ask the teacher stuff like "what does Wunderwaffen or nacht der untoten mean".

As a Englishmen, my country had spent many hundreds of years occupying, raping and pillaging your country. It would be rude of me to betray them by learning your language

Nederlands is erg leuk

 

[Smeris]

Dutch, obviously. english, and an okay bit of german. I learned french for two years but my hatred towards that language is so large i refuse to even speak a single word of it. I've forgotten most of it too. A really tiny bit of spanish aswell

My grandfather was Greek so as a kid I knew a bit of Greek. Never really stuck with it though. I know a solid bit of French too.
