[RS_Jelle]

Dutch
English (learned at school, but ofcourse who doesn't know it)
French (learned at school)
Latin (followed classic languages at school)
Old Greek (followed classic languages at school)

Also a bit of German, but that's more understanding a text and the very very active basics of it.

Ik sprekt Nederlandse (I had 2 years, but lived there)

I'm sorry, but it's "Ik spreek Nederlands" in dutch :p

[howiulf]

Ich spreche Deutsch

I'm able to speak english. But I'm just out of practice :mad:

That's it, but it's enough for translating someof the mods here. :D

[Guest190829]

Can anyone speak Java? :D


System.out.println("I speak Java.");


Actually, I haven't programmed Java in a while, but it looks like my first CS course next semester is focused on Java...oh boy, I can wait to learn about variables, arrays, and control structures again . :(

[Digma]

2. English
3. German
4. French
5. Do dialects count ;)

[Spank]

[davidw]

Anata no nihongo o gakko desu ne? :confused:I don't know that much Japanese lol - I lived in Yokosuka for a couple years but didn't get out much (except to Yokohama or Tokyo - since those were the closest places) although I did go camping in Gifu. It's been 11 years since I left there and without really persuing the language as I did with Dutch or French, I retained very very little. I do understand things like Watashi wa ______ desu ka?

I'm sorry, but it's "Ik spreek Nederlands" in dutch :pI said I speak it, not spell it :P
Since we are being technical on this (hehe) sprekt was used incorrectly as you pointed out - it is meant to be used as such when asking someone if they speak it "Sprekt u (je, hij, zij, haar (sp?), etc.) Nederlandse. I've always used Nederlandse with an "e" on the end but it could be because of the dialect. Ik gewooned in Middelburg (in Zeeland).

Anyways, my spelling won't be perfect lol - It's been 19 years since I lived there (there's a lot I've slowly forgotten, but a lot I will remember if I read it) Reading it and hearing it, I can understand it much better than trying to produce it on my own from remembering.

How was living in Japan?

[davidw]

Very interesting. From where I was stationed, immediately off base there were scores of bars with Karaoke machines (kind of like some places in the Philippines I've been to), but once you move past all the bars, you see the real Japan (cities, country-city, and country). I say country-city because a lot of it is non-stop buildings/houses/etc. I miss visiting the shops there or the eateries. They also have nice malls and movie theaters.

One of my favorite things to do there was play laser-tag (I guess this is a big deal in Japan). If you had all day or so to spend, take a bullet train to - wherever?. One thing I really liked was that they liked their music - and American music too. A common sight to see was the school children (uniforms or uniforms with skirts). I must have been near a school.

The weather was hot, cold, and rainy a lot. It got pretty warm when I was there. We also had a nasty typhoon hit us directly on - then went on to Tokyo. Earthquakes and Tsunamis were frequent (mostly warnings with the Tsunamis) I remember once sitting in my barber chair and an earthquake hit and I started doing 360s lol.

Japan was a blast. One day I plan to go back to climb Mt. Fuji. If I ever get them scanned, I may post some pictures later on.

Watashi wa hitobito o tabetakunai desu.

[amazigh_rif]

Tamazight (aka Berber), we spoke this at home and the region where i live (fluent).

Arabic, state language, spoke this for 20 years like 20 hrs a week at school (fluent).

French, average 6 hrs a week starting at the elementary school (fluent).

Spanish, I studied this for 4 years at trade school, although I learned most of it from friends and Spanish TV (almost fluent).

English, I learned a bit of English at IRC in the mid 90's, I started to study it serious in 2003, Im still learning almost daily new words.

German, I speak little German yet, I started like 10 months ago, so I have a long way to go.


You should check this 10 years old kid who speaks 11 languages!

[Speedy2000]

I speak English and Dutch. I can understand and read German, but can't speak the language.

[Attilitus]

I was just wondering what everyone's first language is, and the other languages that they consider themselves competent in. I think that sometimes language barriers can cause misunderstandings and conflicts between users, and I think it would be informative to know everyone's language background before passing judgement on their post's content.

My first language is English, and I know just enough spanish to be competent in written (although not so much verbal) conversation.
