I speak:

English, German, Cantonese, Korean, and Japanese fluently and I speak parts of Mandarin.
Cantonese/English were my first/second languages.

I don't really have any interesting experiences besides once I asked the teacher if she'd like to my monkey in Mandarin [which I'm seperate school to learn].
I forgot what I meant to say, lol.. Oh well. But I did say this:

lǎo shī，nǐ xiǎng wǒ de chǒng wù wǒ de hóu zi？
Teacher, Would you like to pet my Monkey?

there was a time when i could speak french, german, italian, japanese and portuguese

now i can only really do french and japanese.

shame really

I did German in school for about 5 years (up to GCSE), so I could understand at least half of that paragraph someone wrote in Dutch earlier! Couldn't understand much of the Limburg(?) though...

I speak French the best, and Esperanto second-best (yes, I'm a geek). I can get the basic gist of what people are saying to me/writing about in German, and I can read the Cyrillic and Greek alphabets (but can't understand any of it! )

(Translations: )
FR: Je parle le français le mieux, et l'espéranto le seconde-mieux (ouais, je suis 'geek'!). Je peux comprendre assez d'allemand quand quelqu'un me parle ou écrit, et je peux lire les alphabets Cyrillique et Grèc (mais je peux en comprendre rien! )

EO: Mi parolas la francan plejbone, kaj Esperanton du-plejbone (jes, mi estas 'giko'!). Mi povas sufiĉe kompreni la germanan kiam iun parolas/skribas al mi, kaj mi povas legi la alfabetojn Rusajn kaj Grekajn (sed mi tute ne povas kompreni ilin! )

Hmm. Well, I speak French as a second language and love it! I hope to learn other languages in the future, but I'm mainly focused on getting better at French, and then learning other languages! I don't think I've had any wierd experiences in French and hopefully it stays that way

I can speak:
English
French (fairly fluently)
Hindi
Gujarati (an Indian language)
I learnt a little Japanese as well.

Languages I would love to learn:
italian
Spanish (i can pick up basic stuff though)
Greek

Anyone want to teach me? haha

Haha I'm fairly fluent in German, Esperanto, Spanish, American Sign Language, and German Sign Language, but I can recognize over 25 different spoken languages.

Funniest situations would have to be in German when I wrote a play about scheiße, schlampen, und Anna Nicole Smith.

Spanish when I thought mud meant moody so I said Yo soy mudo, and he laughed (I am hard of hearing so this was serendipitous)<br /><br />Post edited by: cc70192hs, at: 2007/12/28 22:05

Besides English (my native language), I can speak French. Not quite fluent, but I'm in French 4, and French 1 took three years (since foreign language in middle school was only one-third of the days... dumb schedule), so that'd be like six years? I read better than I write, and I write better than I speak.

I don't really have embarrassing stories, except for the time that I had read a story in which this French girl had the name &quot;Miette&quot; and I thought it was cute, so I wanted it to be my French name... only to have Madame inform me, in front of the whole class, that it actually meant &quot;crumb.&quot; My friend teased me for a year afterwards. It was very embarrassing.

My hope is that when I go to France this summer for a school trip, I'll remember NOT to use the word 'excité' to say 'excited'... since when a foreigner uses excité, it means excited, THAT way. That would be very embarrassing...

I speak English as my native language, and I speak French fluently. I can occasionally muster up the odd strange sentence in Japanese, and I can just about read Spanish from knowing French, but that's about all.

C'est tout. Est-ce qu'il y a quelqu'un qui veut parler avec moi en francais? Mhmmm.
