Re: Languages!
The ones I know:
1) Spanish (native level, as I'm from Argentina)
2) English (fluent, bilingual school)
3) Japanese (have JLPT 2, currently studying to get JLPT level 1)
4) (Brazilian) Portuguese (it's quite similar to spanish, so I can read or listen to it and understand quite well... studied for about a year... hope to continue eventually)
5) French (despite 3 years of study (high school) I can barely say a few sentences).

Re: Languages!
So many different languages! And so many European ones <3 I can only speak Chinese and English fluently. Whenever I speak Korean, my friends laugh at me for making so many mistakes.
...actually, I can speak Weabooan, though. (Watched the right amount of anime to know useless phrases and not enough to be fluent.)

Re: Languages!
I've lived in Illinois since I was five years old, so I think it's pretty safe to say I have your standard "midwest" accent. But my mom always made fun of me because I say "kitten" like "Kih-in", smitten like "smih-in", etc. (the T sound is made by the closing of my throat.) I think the only place I've ever heard people talk like that is a certain British dialect, but I don't even know anyone with a British accentTachyglossus wrote:@Snowflower
Something similar occurs with me. I speak mostly in a 'plain' accent, but there is the odd words I pronounce in a different accent. I also keep changing how I pronounce some words. This isn't intentional, some words with multiple pronunciations will just sometimes come out as one or the other. Like pronouncing Schedule like 'Skedule' and then saying 'Shedule'.
I love languages in general. I have a scheme in mind to shove as many different languages possible into the brains of my future children while they are still young so that they don't turn out like me (wasted potential).

Re: Languages!
I love this plan! I'd do it if I were planning on ever having children, but I'm not. Well, chances are, I can't. I've been avoiding finding out. However, hypothetically, if i had children, I could enroll them in so many different languages!Sapphi wrote: I love languages in general.

I love listening to people speak and sing in other languages. Each has their beauty. What isn't so beautiful is me attempting to speak other languages, even if I listen to the same phrase over and over, chances are that I won't say it right.

Well, for me... that shows why I can fake British accent pretty well... When I use British accent in the mall, the workers ask me where in England I'm from. XD hahaha

Re: Languages!
English. Only english >_>
The most I know of other languages is a scattering of words, not even enough to form a sentence really.

I was actually thinking about this question as I read through the thread:
Do artistic abilities count as a language? xD

Re: Languages!
As long as you'll be able to communicate and express yourself with it, then I think it definitely counts as a language.Elenakiara wrote:Do artistic abilities count as a language? xD

Re: Languages!
1. German (native)
2. English (well, guess one has to know it to be able to be on this forum, right? I learned it at school)
3. French (But not too well... I was taught French in school for 5 years I think, but... well. It has never been my favourite )
4. ... I wish I could add something, but half a year of Latin of which I forgot everything except the fact that the word for farmer (which I don't know, but there was an a somewhere in) has an article which comes unexpected .... It won't count, will it?
You all are so lucky to know so many languages...
