Come here if you speak another language other than English

It's funny because literally right before opening this thread I finished a Spanish conversation on Facebook :3


Oh, ¿que pasa? Soy en mi primero año de la clase de español pero yo sé los tensos del futuro, pretérito imperfecto, pretérito indefinido y pretérito perfecto. Estoy aprendiendo diligentemente y estoy muy aplicado en mi trabaja. Saco buenas notas ahora pero en mi primer periodo del español no fui un estudiante muy bueno porque no fui interesado en el idioma, pero ahora realizo los benificios de aprender español.

Buen trabajo :tu
one small thing though, should be "mi primer año" ;)

Native English, some Korean

저는 집에서 한국어를 공부해요.

I've been studying Korean at home (autodidacticism) for 3 months. I'm going well with it, I think. Next year I'll start learning a third language, probably Spanish.
 
Since I'm from Sweden, my native language is of course Swedish, but I started learning English when I was about seven years old. I have also studied German for three years, and I can understand written and spoken German pretty good, but I can't talk myself. I also studied Japanese for half a year, so I know a few phrases. Most recently I've been trying to learn Klingon ;)
 
Dutch (Native)
Lottums (Dialect of the little village I come from)
English
German (That’s what happens when you grow up living close to the German border)

I had two years of French classes too and got pretty good at it. But this was 20 years ago and I never used it since so …

Impressive :) Do many Klingons live in your 'hood?
 
French (native), English, and a very rusty German (I've had 7 years of German classes but that was 25 years ago).
 
English is supposed to be my first language but i have more Dutch friends than english friends so i speak Dutch more than i do English, but i cant type any of it because i learnt to speak it from them and not a book or the web =P
 
(I, Japanese,... is that read or write or speak?....)
"I can speak Japanese."
Is that right?

Also how do you write in Kanji, do you have a special program or something?

Yeah it's speak. 話します (Hanashimasu) = the verb to speak. I think it's more like "I speak Japanese."
If you have Windows, you just add Japanese in the keyboard languages and when it's on there's a conversion option and just put it to "general" and it should auto-convert as you type, well when you push space.
Example for that sentence you would type "Watashi ha nihongo wo hanashimasu."
But don't always take the first conversion it offers since there's a chance it's wrong.
 
Well, I'm spanish (from Spain, in Europe) and working for the Cambridge Proficency in English. I also speak German, but since I never practice I've forgotten almost everything. Still I can follow most conversations in German.
 
Thanks Janelle, yeah I was leaning towards 'speak' cause I recognised the mouth symbol in the bottom right of the language themed Kanji. Kanji is really interesting, I think I'll dig out my flashcards and start learning them again :)
