Yasu Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Language learning general. I'm fluent at Spanish (say, 110%), have been studying English for 4 years —only good at listening and reading comprehension, rarely [i]speak[/i] in english— I know the basic japanese kanas and some kanji, and can get a grasp of most spoken japanese conversations, just [i]bought[/i] Rosetta Stone German (ugh, so repetitive). I can read Italian and some Latin too. [background=black][color=black]Although you could call that cheating[/color][/background] What about you, señores of YCM?

Travie Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I can speak a little bit of French, even though I am half French. English is my native language so yea, I have a wide vocabulary in one language rather than limited in two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazer Yoshi Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I know some basic French, but I'm still taking classes. English is my first language, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrystalCyae Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 English is my main language, but I am also fluent in French - can't actually respond, but I can understand my sister when she rambles on in French about her life - but not many other languages. I'm learning Japanese next year however, which is good. Possible Pokemon projects- *shot* I do know the bare bottoms of Spanish and German too (I can count to ten, say ILY in German, and greet someone in spanish) But English is and always will be the language I speak mostly.

Christian Exodia Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Basics in French, fluent to near the top of English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDorago Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Main language is English, I used to take Spanish for a bit due to being forced in elementary but I have to think for a few minutes to recall any of it now, and even then I only remember some basic words. As of a few months ago, I've been learning Japanese (So far basics/most of the Hiragana/some Kanji here and there), and I've picked up random words from anime.

Cin Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Wanted to do Japanese or Arabic, but that fell by short, did German and French to GCSE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Origins Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Learning French. I love it. Tried learning Spanish. I hate the language. Fluent in English like no-one's business. Want to learn Japanese, but I'm too lazy. You know, something that really irks me is that people don't seem to know the difference between to, too, and two, along with there, their, and they're.

Shalltear Bloodfallen Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 My first language is Swedish and I'm flutent in English I know a bit German but it is mostly that I roughly know what someone is saying when they speak, I'm not able to quickly respond. Planning on continuing to learn it once given the opportunity in school (Won't have Language classes for about a year or 2) I want to learn Japanese but never realy got the option in school (so far) and I'm much to lazy to be able to learn it on my own.

Legend Zero Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Native is English and took 3 years of Spanish, so I can understand and read it a bit but not hold up a strong conversation. I've also gotten some Japanese from anime, hoping to learn the whole language when I find time, [s]like a weeaboo.[/s] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Account is Unplayable Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 English is my main language. Learned French and got a B at GCSE level. Only been 6 months since then and I can't even put a sentence together anymore, for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDDRodrigo Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Brazillian Portuguese, intermediate Spanish, advanced English. If I ever go to USA/England/Australia/Canada etc, I won't get fooled by told stories. Who talks to me over skype know it. Ah. Everything was learned by myself. Barely took classes on school, and they were laughable. No courses, no GCSE etc. All on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Spanish is my native language. Learned Spanish and English at about the same rate from my parents (Spanish) and TV (English). I'm taking some Spanish classes at my school to continue learning more seeing as my vocab still needs to be expanded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Games Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 English and my second lauguaage is Canadian French, tho its been far too long since i practiced it. Can pick up some common Japanese words/phrases from watching subbed anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 English is my native language. I learned Spanish in highschool, but I didn't care for it and once I got my A I forgot most of it. I know random Japanese words and phrases just from watching anime, but I plan on taking Japanese in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] That could be anything from Canadian French, English, Brazilian Portugese, Spanish or something else. American isn't a damn language. English is my native language. Can speak French decently. I study Japanese and Spanish too. And Mandarin is hilarious great fun to learn since I started a while back. Can read Ancient Greek and Latin if that counts :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yang Xiao-Long Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 [s]ENGLISH MOTHAF***A DO YOU SPEAK IT.[/s] I speak English, and if my mom hadn't been stupid when I was younger I probably would've been fluent in Korean too (she said she didn't teach me because she wanted me to be more of an American, which was a WTFseriously? moment). I took Latin for 3 years back in high school, and I'm planning on taking 3 years of Japanese in college for my major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 English is my native language, been taking Spanish in school since kindergarten. You'd think I'd be fluent, but I'm only as good as someone with a high school education of it like Legend Zero :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there only a handful of good Abridged references. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
