Do you speak foreign languages?

[MTrip]

I speak fluent Southern, & I used to speak Midwestern Hick but now I can understand it but don't speak it that well anymore. I know a few Spanish words (I can mostly read it), a few Hebrew words, & I'm learning how to curse in Latin!

 

[Peaches]

I am learning Dutch.

good for you Can you suggest any good courses/methods? Have been trying to learn that for a while now…

 

[Unbinilium]

Chinese. I'm hoping to learn French, Italian and Spanish so I can follow cycling commentary and spew French cycling terms to my brethren on two wheels.

I guess French is also good for wooing the ladies and ordering at higher class restaurants.

 

[Rainbows]

I speak 5, 7 if you don't count me often flailing at one and some basic understanding.

 

[EveWasFramed]

I can greet you, tell you goodbye and call you a turtle or a donkey in Spanish. Does that count? Oh....I can ask you if you've had lunch yet also.
Don't ask. lol, long story.

I am actually used a self-learn book called Teach Yourself Complete Dutch. It's pretty good.. in terms of understanding the rules etc. But I've not compared it to any other self-learn books so I don't know if there are any other better ones out there. What do you use?

Apparently I do- I've discovered that potential landlords have a completely different understanding of cost-effective, clean, quiet, private, and habitable than I do. I think I'm going to be in the RV or at least another year as I know it's affordable, clean, quiet, private, and livable....I need to put out a sign saying 'I am The Trailer Trash' or something like that....

Moveable as well.

I suppose speaking fluent in a fan created language counts?

 

[sk66rc]

I work with a guy that sometimes dream in Russian... And he has no clue what he said in his dreams... Apparently, he was adopted & came to U.S. at a very young age... He says he can make out few words here & there but not enough to really hold any type of meaningful conversation... He told me once he was talking to his mom in full blowing Russian & didn't know what the conversation was about when he woke up...

 

[GirlwithCuriousHair]

I speak, at various levels of competency, Serbo-Croat, French, German and English. I also have some GCSE-level Italian and disappointingly little Japanese considering how long I was in that country.

 

[ordinaryDude]

English itself is foreign to me. I can also speak Urdu, can communicate with Basic Swedish, now learning German.

 

[lonelyfairy]

Finnish fluently, English almost fluently, some Swedish, also used to study French and Korean.

 

[Paraiyar]

English. Ich lerne Deutsch.

 

[ladyforsaken]

English. Ich lerne Deutsch.

Ich auch. Aber ich hielt.

 

[Paraiyar]

What's to stop you going back to Duolingo now?

 

[ladyforsaken]

The lack of motivation now I suppose. And lack of time during the weekdays. Language learning is something you gotta do consistently and daily to master it. I guess once I stopped that consistency, my brain just thinks it's a failure.

I speak English and Urdu (not so fluently) and I'm currently learning Japanese and soon Korean.
