Well, i am a native speaker, and i've heard that the language isn't easy for many,
so yes, this is surprising for me to see that people want to learn it.

This is true, but in my area it's one of only 2 languages you can learn in school, and is pretty frequently spoken so I started learning for that reason.

That's amazing actually, well, good continuation for learning it.

 

[Normal Unormal]

[Izanamemes]

I'm a native Spanish speaker with English fluency I'm also currently learning Japanese and Finnish.

 

[DemonRider404]

English is my native language. I've been picking up some Spanish from my work (certainly not fluent, but I can stumble through a few sentences ^^'), and I'm learning ASL as well!

 

[Chachacha]

i know a good chunk of Spanish. I took 4 years of it. I also took 1 year of Latin and know little Japanese

 

[slowbudget]

I can natively speak (Brazilian) Portuguese and can speak English fluently (I hope at least).

Because I can speak Portuguese I suppose I have a decent enough grasp of Spanish! I've studied French for a while although it's rather rusty and I kinda hate it from the bottom of my heart.

I'm also studying German and I'm thinking of studying Mandarin Chinese soon.

I find it to be a very interesting language, shame tones are so hard for me.

I don't know what shame tones are.

 

[slowbudget]

I don't know what shame tones are.

I meant it's a shame that Mandarin tones are so hard for me, lol.

Although I suppose shame tones would be something along the lines of mid-low to low in English?

[InsultingBunny]

I grew up in the Ukraine so I speak Ukrainian fluently; however living so close to the Russian border as well I picked up on fluent Russian.

Most people think they are the same; but no. Actually how Ukrainian people speak; annoys the crap out of me. It’s like a constant lisp.

Then when I came to America as a teenager; I learned English.

 

[Alveolar Exchanged]

Native Russian speaker (my mother tongue), a somewhat fluent English speaker (7 years of Russian education and tutors), and a bunch of words from many different European language (French, German, Greek). I've also spoken a bit of Chinese and Sakha (my family is quite colourful), but lost it with age.

 

[BakedTrollSock]

Native Ukranian and Russian (both native), English, French

 

[amateur]

Hey! Like the title says, I like to know which languages people speak!

I speak 1 language fluently, 1 language almost/half fluent, and 1 language very badly.

English is my first language, I grew up in England and Ireland so Ive always been around mostly English speaker.

Irish is my second language. When I was 6 I moved to Ireland, and although English is most people's first languages here, Irish is a compulsory school subject for most people.
Ive been learning Irish for 9 years, and I am quite good at it, although not 100% fluent, if you dropped me into an Irish speaking area I think Id dp just fine.

French.. French is a language I also learn. Been doing it for pver 2 years now. My first french teacher was unable to teach me but a few words of french. I have anew teacher now who can.teach so im improving. I still tend to make up words when speaking french though, since many are similar to english.

English, Finnish and Swedish.

[JessiJean]
