There have been threads about languages but not about what you are learning or know (other than english, cause most of us speak that here). Just curious because I'm having my Latin midyear on Friday and I told him no one spoke latin. He said "You'd be surprised". So who knows Latin? and what else do you know? and do you have a final on yours you just took or is coming up?

edit: Oh and I'm learning Spanish.
 
I take AP Latin Vergil (4th year of Latin). I also know Mandarin Chinese (and obviously English). To my knowledge, we don't have a midterm, but I can help you with whatever you need.

Thanks a lot but I think I've got it under my belt mostly. Me and a few of my friends worked together and made a real good study hall, with some of our teachers help, so yeah. I'm on my 4th year but my 1st year was really easy stuff so I'm only on Latin 3.
 
I know...

Tagalog (Philippines Language) and several dialects
English (I learned it and I still have some difficulty speaking sometimes)
Some Spanish
Some French
Some German
A little Japanese

I'm Learning...

Latin
More French
More German
More Spanish
More Japanese

Only in speech, I can't read most languages for my life.
 
English, Spanish, some German, some Arabic. I'm probably going to start learning Russian in a year or two.
 
I'm not currently learning a language, and the only language I speak is English.

I have been 'taught' languages at other school, but I find the system doesn't work.
Indonesian - 2 years
German - 1 year
Japanese - 1 year
Spanish - 1 year
Indonesian - 1 year (first year of high school).

Indonesian was a horrible subject. 3/4 of the class was new to the school, myself included, and couldn't keep up because the school taught at an 8th grade level, but we had no prior knowledge and really should have started at a 1st grade level. Thankfully it was optional for me in year 10. (Yes, I did say 'no prior knowledge' and I did say I did 2 years of Indonesian previous. Think I could remember a single word I was taught in years 1/2?)

I am, however, interested in learning Mandarin, but I cannot find any software, so I've been reading a bit on Wikibooks. I will have a free subject next year for year 11, but I will try not to fill it, because I have enough work already. :o
