What languages do you speak?

**Jeremyprk3** · 02-04-2011 05:45 AM

I'm learning French and Japanese. I'm at an intermediate level in French.
I'd like to learn Swedish. And I'm also interested in Hebrew.
What languages do you speak or are learning?

I can speak German ok. Not close to fluent, but I could get around Germany if I had to... and have done, lol. I really wish I could speak it better. Doesn't help where there're not German speaking people around

I want to learn sign language though, but again, no one I know speaks sign except my cousin in San Diego

Not entirely sure what all these people claiming to speak 'sheet music' sound like.

It's nice to know people are interested in other cultures and languages. I really enjoy Japanese. The thing about Japanese is the grammar honestly isn't very difficult. There's just a lot of memorization that has to be done. There are many irregular patterns (especially when it comes to numbers). And you have different ways of counting different objects (flat objects, small round objects, etc.) Plus you have to learn all the Kanji, the modified Chinese characters. But it's such a fun language.

I took three years of German in high school, but I suck. Mostly because I am horribly out of practice. I know enough that if they tried to communicate with me, and spoke slow and used gestures I could probably figure out what they were saying. I am also trying to learn Japanese but I am at a very low level of that. Basically I know their basic alphabet and that is about it. And even then I wouldn't say I am at a 100% yet hehe.
